Mortgage Rates Chicago

Have you ever been told that you don’t need a Realtor when buying a new home? While that may be true, let me show you why you would want a good Bucks County real estate agent when buying a new home: Your agent will look at for you, they will help negotiate a good price, they will offer you services to help ensure a smooth transaction, and there is no charge to have one.

Having Proper Representation: if you walk into a builder’s office without a Realtor, you will give up your opportunity to have an agent represent your best interests. The sales agent you meet represents the builder – no matter how nice they are, they cannot fully represent your best interests. If you use a Realtor, they will ask all the tough questions of the builder and negotiate items the sales agent would not admit are negotiable. Don’t forget that having a Realtor is free, so why wouldn’t you?

Negotiate a good deal: any good agent knows that everything is negotiable, even though the new home sales agent will tell you that the price is the price. Your realtor has the means to check recent sales data and current inventory that may aid in your negotiations. This is what we do for a living! We’ll do our best to get you the best price possible.

Offering other essential services: your Bucks County Realtor will handle most of the details of the transaction for you and have you do only what is necessary. If you work directly with the builder, you will be responsible for twice as much work than if you had a Realtor handling the deal for you. In addition, there is continued negotiation that goes on during escrow that your agent can advise you on. Ensuring you have a proper home inspection can save you thousands of dollars and is among one of the many services you can expect from a good agent.

No cost to you: there is no cost to you to have representation. The builder pays a referral fee to your agent that is assumed in every deal. You get all the benefits of proper representation without any cost.

I hope that this explanation helps dispel the myth that a Realtor is of no use when buying a new home. While they may not be needed, they are quite useful in helping get what’s best for you, obtaining the best price possible, and offering other essential services along the way. In Bucks County, it is imperative that you visit any sales office for the first time with your agent, or else the builder will not even allow you to have representation! Don’t make that mistake.
