Buying a newly built home provides some exciting options that may not be available to you when purchasing an existing home, such as the ability to choose the exact kitchen cabinets, flooring and even floor plan you want.
But it also creates some additional challenges, including making sure your builder is reputable, the community is sound and your home will be ready when you are.
Use a real estate agent so YOU get a representative in the transaction- the builder does!. Since the Builder pays the commission, it costs a buyer nothing to be represented by a real estate agent, and many builders are happy to work with experienced real estate agents. An agent who regularly deals with builders and knows the local communities will provide lots of helpful information.
Check out the builder. Many home builders have been in the business for years and produce a quality product. However, a few do not. Check review sites, state licensing boards and the local court records to see whether the builder you’re considering has run into any trouble, including lawsuits, complaints with licensing agencies and disciplinary actions by state and local agencies. This is also a good time to talk to previous customers.
Research the community. Before you buy, find out as much as you can both about the area and the subdivision or condo itself. Visit at different times of day, and talk to residents about what they do and don’t like.
