Why Use a Realtor for New Home Construction?

Many people don't realize how a cooperative effort between a new home buyer, a Realtor and a residential Builder benefits everyone involved in the construction process.

New home buyers face the same problems as existing home buyers or value-conscious consumers purchasing any product or service.

How can a new home buyer find out about all the options available and obtain the information to make comparisons in a timely and relatively stress-free manner?

• One way is by working with a Realtor, who can be a central resource about dozens of new home communities and an access to a revealing wealth of information about new homes and builders. In fact, home builders throughout Houston and League City go to great lengths to make sure Realtors are well-informed about their products and their communities.
• There is a common damaging misconception that by eliminating a Realtor or real estate agent, a buyer can save the equivalent of the agent’s commission on a new home.
• In fact, Houston and League City area builders value the well-qualified buyers brought to them by Realtors, so much so that sales agent commissions are considered part of the builder’s promotional budget, rather than a negotiable component of a home’s purchase price.
• The bottom line is that buyers probably will not receive any discount on the purchase of a new home by not working with a Realtor or agent.
• Even more important, buyers can pay the same price, and have an experienced real estate representative in their corner. These Realtor services offered at no additional cost to the buyer, save valuable time, supply more complete market information, and allow a buyer to find a new home sooner and with less hassle by working with a real estate professional.
