Buying and selling a new construction home is unique, and generally leaves room for buyers to put their finishing touches on the home. Builders need a realtor who knows how to highlight a house before it becomes a home and buyers need help envisioning the work-in-progress and how life will look living there.
Working with a new construction expert as your realtor will provide many benefits. These experts generally have in-depth knowledge about local real estate rates to price the home fairly, despite limited or non-existent comparison points from similar real estate in developing neighborhoods.
What Is a Builder’s Agent?
Buyers considering a new construction home should know a little about the nuances of purchasing these types of homes. In these transactions, the builder is considered the seller, but generally, the builder is still represented by a relator, also known as the builder’s agent.
These agents specialize in new construction and help the builders complete the day-to-day tasks associated with selling a property. The builder will not coordinate showings or negotiate the final price for the property. All those tasks fall to the realtor.
But builders should be choosy when it comes to selecting a real estate agent because most realtors have little experience with new construction homes.
Nuances New Construction Experts Understand
Finding a good expert for new construction home sales is important because having a better agent will ensure you sell the home promptly to continue investing those funds into other projects. Some nuances new construction experts understand include:
- Accurate market pricing
- Drafting attractive and engaging home descriptions even while the project is still in progress
- Unique requests home buyers might request, such as upgrades or perks
- Overseeing a new build home inspection
- Negotiating with home buyers
- Answering buyer questions related to new construction processes and what to expect
- Building effective timelines and communicating expectations for when a homeowner can take possession and move in
