Buying a new home? Want to save money ?
If you are planning to use this Buyer’s market to buy a NEW home, I know a great way you can save some money.
Most new home developers will pay a referral fee (commission) to your Realtor if the Realtor is with you on your first visit to the models. You will need to do a simple sign-in and look at the models together.
If you buy one of those new homes the Realtor will get a referral fee and it costs you nothing!
But wait, why should you care?
Here’s why…
I am a full-service, professional Realtor. I do not sell homes at cut-rate commissions. I usually charge 6% (1/2 of that will go to the agent representing the Buyer).
If my Client helps me to earn a commission from the new home developer then I can charge less to sell their current home. I can also better coordinate the timing of the 2 transactions.
It’s a Win-Win-Win.
Here’s another reason. When you are looking to buy a home, whouldn’t you want to be shown all of the options you have? If a Realtor works with you for months they might be reluctant to have you consider new construction if they will not get a commission. You also will benefit from the Realtor’s experience, knowledge of the area, and understanding of your needs.
If you are planning to look at new construction models, call your Realtor first.
The Realtor MUST be with you on your first visit.
If you don’t already have a trusted Realtor, please give me a call.
I would like a chance to earn your business.
