We hear it all the time:
"Why do I need an agent to buy a new construction home?" It's a very appropriate question in Wake County, North Carolina. Half of our housing inventory is new construction.
So, why should you use an agent when you can just go in and buy from the Builder's representative. The term "Builder's representative" should be one tip-off. That person is there to represent the Builder, to act in the Builder's interest, and to serve the Builder.
Where do you fit into that picture? With the playing field favoring the Builder, you can level it by engaging a skilled agent who will represent you, act in the your interest, and serve you.
As of April, 2007, inquiries regarding Builders are the most common inquiry at the Better Business Bureau of Eastern North Carolina on a repetitive basis. And complaints about Builders are commonly a top ten or top five item.
Engage a Buyer's Agent to help you through the process, to help with inspections, keep a calm head when things go awry, and to be your fiduciary. Those attributes will level the playing field, and even tilt it in your favor.
