Don’t Do This New Construction Mistake
Why Every New Construction Buyer Needs a Realtor By Their Side
With over 20 years of experience, especially in new construction within premier neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge that I’m eager to share with you—especially if you’re on the journey to buying your dream home.
The Essential Role of a Realtor in Your New Construction Home Buying Process
Embarking on the path to purchase a new construction home raises an important question: Do you need a realtor? From my extensive experience, the answer is a resounding yes. Your realtor is more than a guide; we’re your advocate, ensuring your interests and needs are always front and center.
Advocacy and Expert Insight
Having someone who deeply understands the ins and outs of the new construction market is crucial. This is where I come into play. My two decades in the field have shown me the extensive impact a realtor can have on the new construction home buying process. For example, when it comes to uncovering hidden incentives or navigating the complexities of negotiations with builders, my expertise ensures you’re not just building a house, but securing a home that meets all your needs—and then some.
Yes, You Still Need an Inspection
One might wonder about the necessity of inspections, especially in new construction. Here’s a piece of advice: never skip them. Inspections are your safeguard, ensuring that every nook and cranny (seen and unseen) of your potential new home is in perfect condition. After all, it is a brand-new home. This means the standards are much higher than a resale home as far as condition. Inspections also serve as a vital punch list to give the builder representative at your orientation potentially saving you from unforeseen issues (crushed sewer lines for example) & saving you money that could affect your investment in the short and long run.
Understanding Complex Contracts
The process of buying a new construction home involves navigating through contracts that can be a lot more complex than traditional purchase and sale agreements in resale homes. These documents are not just paperwork; they’re the blueprint of your purchase that is contractually enforceable. My role is to decode these contracts for you, ensuring you’re fully informed and comfortable at every stage of the process. In certain situations, I might also suggest consulting with an attorney to ensure your interests are thoroughly protected.
