Buyers:
Building A New Home
Whether your goal is to build your first home or your forever home, starting with a real estate agent can be the key to a great finish!
Plan Your Home Right, From the Start!
Have you been thinking about building a new home, but you don’t know where to start?
A local real estate agent can help with the entire process — from picking out land to introducing you to local builders, even helping during the building/design process.
Why Choose Me?
I have knowledge in all areas when it comes to building. Whether your goal is to build your first home, or your forever home, a competent real estate agent can help streamline the process.
I offer substantial experience which can help you navigate your new-home build! Because my husband and I own a construction company, I’m able to put knowledge and experience to work for you, such as:
- Familiarity with local builders to help give you the best information when it comes to choosing a builder;
- Understanding of builder contracts, warranties, etc.;
- I can help you navigate through the different bids that you may receive from multiple builders and help educate why those bids are coming in at different price points;
- Knowledge of what is necessary, and what are unnecessary upgrades that may hurt your pocket and not bring more value to your home;
- I can help you understand and choose between different construction material options that will be used in your home, and be sure you get what you’ve chosen — sometimes builders try to cut costs by using different building materials, e.g. behind the walls, hoping the consumer will not know;
- I will remind you to think about resale when picking out materials from the construction through the design process;
- I can also help with referring local industry leaders, that will help bring the best financing options for you.
Won’t I Save Money by Not Hiring an Agent?
If you think not hiring an agent will help you save a few bucks on commission, think again! It is customary for most builders to pay the agent’s commission. Even though the builder wants a happy customer at the end of the process, the builder is working for the builder, and the contractors are working for the builder.
However, I work for you! I will make sure that your needs are met, help protect and educate you through the process, and maintain a good relationship with your builder so that we can help stay on budget and on time.
When it comes to building your home, my priority is you and your happiness!
