There are many reasons why you, as a buyer, should use a Realtor when buying a new home from a builder in Bucks County, PA. Some of these reasons include: to have proper representation, to get the best price, and help servicing the deal. See some examples of how this works below.
Have someone in your corner: would you walk into a court room without an attorney and rely on your opposing party's attorney for information and advice? That is basically what you are doing when you walk into a new home builder's office alone. You are taking advice from the sales agent that represents the builder - not you. Always make sure that on your first visit to a builder sales office, that you have your Realtor with you.
Negotiate a good deal: any good agent knows that everything is negotiable, even though the new home sales agent will tell you that the price is the price. Your realtor has the means to check recent sales data and current inventory that may aid in your negotiations. This is what we do for a living! We'll do our best to get you the best price possible.
Help servicing the deal: part of being a Realtor is providing service to help clients understand and prepare for the home buying process. This can not only save you time and hassle, but also save you money. It is invaluable to have someone you trust that is walking you through the home buying process every step of the way, especially if you are a first-time buyer.
No cost to you: there is no cost to you to have representation. The builder pays a referral fee to your agent that is assumed in every deal. You get all the benefits of proper representation without any cost.
The next time someone tells you that you don't need a Realtor when buying a new home in Bucks County, I hope you are able to tell them why they should. It's so very important to have someone in your corner representing you, negotiating a good deal, and providing all those additional services that make the transaction worry-free and smooth. There's no cost to you, so there's no reason not to use a good Realtor when buying a new home.
