Benefits of having a Realtor

  • Brings Experience to the Real Estate Transaction
  • It Costs the Buyer Nothing! (the Builder is paying their commission)
  • Negotiating Power for Additional Construction Upgrades and Add-ons
  • Help Decode the Fine Print of the Builder Purchase Agreement
  • Help Navigate the Mortgage Process
  • Introduce the Buyer to All the Builders and Locations

Navigating the Transaction Process

When dealing with large community builders, they typically provide their own contracts for sale and purchase, along with established partnerships for mortgage services. These builder contracts are typically non-negotiable, but a Realtor can be invaluable in helping you understand the contractual intricacies, offering legal support as needed. On the other hand, individual, one-off builders often accept the standard Florida Bar contracts for Sale and Purchase, and your Realtor will assist in initiating the property offer using these forms.

While buyers have the freedom to choose their preferred mortgage provider for any purchase, large builders often encourage buyers to use their in-house lenders. These builder-affiliated lenders offer various incentives, so it's essential to explore all available options. However, it's worth noting that using an external lender can sometimes be challenging when dealing with large builders, as their contracts can be less flexible if issues arise during the transaction.

Additionally, if your home completion timeline extends over a longer period, keep in mind that interest rates may change, as lock rates are typically valid for a limited time.

The transaction process can be complex, and having a Realtor working on your behalf is your best assurance for a successful and satisfying outcome. They can help you navigate these details and ensure you make informed decisions while managing costs.

THe Best New COnstruction OPtion for me

When it comes to home-buying, you have three main options to consider. Inventory homes, also known as Spec homes, are ready for immediate occupancy, making them ideal for quick moves or advantageous deals, especially around the builder's fiscal year-end. Builders also offer future construction phases, allowing buyers to select preferred lots with specific features like privacy, scenic views, or unique layouts. Many builders now offer design packages for these lots. Alternatively, for those seeking ultimate customization, Custom New Construction lets you collaborate with a builder and architect to create a home tailored to your precise preferences, from design to every intricate detail.
