Questions buyers ask
Why use a buyer's agent for a new construction home?
The builder's sales consultant represents the builder. A buyer's agent represents you: comparing incentives across builders, reviewing the builder's contract, negotiating price, lot premiums and upgrades, and following construction through closing. The builder pays the fee either way.
Does the builder lower the price if I don't bring an agent?
Generally no. Builders budget for agent fees across their communities and rarely pass that money to unrepresented buyers. With us, you get part of it back.
When do I need to register my agent?
Before or at your first visit to the builder's sales office. Most builders won't pay an agent who wasn't registered on the first visit, so register with us before you go.
How does the 65% rebate work?
The builder pays us a buyer's agent fee at closing, typically around 3% of the price. We give 65% of it back to you as a design center credit or a price reduction, subject to your lender's approval.
