Dallas Real Estate | Highland Homes | New Construction | Home Builders

January 9th, 2008 by Joy Rice

For the multitudes of Dallas area home buyers wading into the unknown world of new home construction, the number of builders and floor plans is nothing less than mind-boggling. Builders such as Highland Homes, Toll Brothers, and Drees Homes are three of Dallas/Fort Worth’s leading single-family home builders who all rely heavily on their Realtor partnerships. Builders understand most discerning buyers work with a Realtor because of their knowledge of the marketplace, the home construction process, and most importantly the contracts.

So if you are one of many who are about to jump on the new construction band wagon, consider these facts before you walk into the builder’s sales office.

1. Home builders protect their own financial interests.
2. A Realtor protects the buyer’s financial interests.
3. The Realtor has inside knowledge of unadvertised builder incentives.
4. Home buyers will not save money by not using a Realtor to represent them in the purchase of a
new construction home.
5. In the event of a dispute between the builder and the buyer (and there almost always is) the Realtor’s
job is to amicably resolve it.

When a buyer enters into a new home construction contract alone and without Realtor representation, it is much like entering a courtroom without legal representation. Additionally, how does a buyer know if they are paying too much for the home, working with a reputable builder, understand the builder’s home warranty, understand the contract exit strategies, and the list goes on. If you don’t already have all the answers, make an appointment with an agent who has a lot of new home construction experience. She knows the process and knows how to negotiate the lowest sales price.
