Why Do You Need a Realtor When You Buy a New Home?
Most buyer's I work with don't realize that they have NO one to represent them when buying new construction. The new home sales representative does not represent you. They work for the builder. You need someone to represent you, the buyer. This will be in most cases one of the biggest investments of your life and you will want someone there to help eveything go seemlessly and if issues arise, you need a professional on your side who can help.
Let me take a second and share previous ways that I have been able to help new home buyers in the past...
Could you imagine how you would feel if you bought a new home and had signed a contract only to find out two weeks later that the New Home Builder lowered the price on the exact model of home $30 thousand dollars? I had a buyer who was in this same situation. I was able to negotiate to get my clients that same $30K price reduction even after we had a ratified contract. After everything is signed I don’t just leave our clients, we are always behind the scenes working hard on their behalf.
Our team has the in-depth community and market knowledge, which could save you thousands. Everyday we hear about the great deals New Home Builders offer. What if in that same neighborhood foreclosures were selling for thousands less? Isn’t that information you need to have before signing a contract? We can help with this and much more. My team and I knows what is going on in our region. You deserve to get the best price for your new home
* Candice and Associates can help you determine your
buying power - that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity.
If you give our team some basic information about your available savings,
income and current debt, we can refer you to lenders best qualified to help
you. Most lenders - banks and mortgage companies - offer limited choices. Why is this important? I want to make sure you are ready to buy. If you are ready I can help you find your dream home. If this is not the time, lets talk to the professionals that can help you put a plan in place to acquire your dream home in the future.
* Candice and her Associates have many resources to assist you in your home search. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market, and it will take some investigating by your agent to find all available properties.
* Our team has access to a variety of informational resources. Our team can provide local community information on utilities, deed restrictions, schools, etc. There are two things you'll want to know: First, will the property provide the environment you want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?
* We can help you with negotiations and inspections. There are many negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or appliances. The purchase agreement should allow time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. We can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.
* Our team can provide you with the due diligence during the property evaluation. Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name a few. Our team can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports.
* We can help you understand different financing options and identify qualified lenders.
* Our team can guide you through the closing process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.
