It is a known fact, anyone can walk into a New Home sales office, and buy a home.    You don't have to bring along a REALTOR to assist you - you can go it alone!   BUT, why would you, when representation is paid for by the Builder?   Let me explain a few reasons a Buyer SHOULD have representation to bring up some ideas -  1.  The Sales Representative is very helpful, but when it comes down to it - they work for the Builder, NOT the Buyer. 2.  When something is or seems wrong, you are the only one to make any noise to HOPE the builder fixes your issues.   When you have representation, you have a REALTOR® community behind you.   It doesn't take long for bad news about a builder to spread in our circles! 3.  Many times a Builder will offer incentives, but sometimes these options are not o... 01/26/2023
