Don’t Just Build. Build with confidence!

A home is the biggest transaction most of us will ever make. That’s why it’s important to work with an experienced and knowledgeable real estate agent.

The benefit to buying brand new is that no one else has ever lived in the home. And because the home hasn’t been built yet, you’ll have the opportunity to customize it to your preferences. But you have to ask yourself if all of these things are maybe a little too good to be true when buying a home? If pre-construction is something you’ve been considering, here’s are the things you need to consider to help you decide if it really is for you.

A RE/MAX Agent will be there to:

#1 – Make sure your paperwork is filed correctly

Before a builder can put a shovel in the ground, local government must approve the design and provide permits for everything from the zoning and grading (changing the contour of the land to accommodate your home and driveway) to the septic systems, home construction, electrical work, and plumbing. Once permits are acquired, physical construction can begin.

#2 – Assist decisions regarding plan modifications

Real estate agents can help narrow down which type of new construction is the best fit. Whether it’s wanting a home with more energy-efficient features, longer warranties on appliances, or an open-concept floor plan, there are plenty of reasons why consumers desire a clean slate.

Despite the home being brand new, a buyer’s agent will still insist on a home inspection to save the buyer from untimely repairs. Having seen scores of homes throughout their career, the agent will have a sharp eye for detecting issues.

#3 – Negotiate and advocate on your behalf

The idea of a customized, new residential construction house or condo is enticing to some prospective homeowners, but the process to get there can be grueling. Working with a Lino Arci Team Agent along the way can help ensure you negotiate the best price possible and avoid setbacks.

There are advantages to working with an agent who is focused solely on the buyer’s side of the transaction, including being able to go to bat for the buyer’s specific needs without having to worry about also representing the home builder. And when navigating new construction, the client’s voice needs to be heard.

#4 – Educate you about the facts on lot location and the surrounding community

It is important that you ask your real estate agent to help you prepare for and understand your new home’s construction, the typical steps your builder will take during the construction of a new home, and will help keep you abreast of what happens at key stages.

In times of uncertainty, it can be comforting to align with a professional real estate agent who has time-backed experience with all types of residential sales and specializes in new-home construction.
