Working with Buyers, New Construction and Financing

Home Buying Process - Education Your Buyers

Building, purchasing and financing new construction is usually more complicated and intimidating than buying a resale home. When buying new construction, the buyer is presented with lots of paperwork that spells out the builder’s obligations along with identifying details of components and features of customization designed by the buyer.

In general, builders’ model homes are staffed by trained new construction agents who work directly for and represent the builder. Today’s homebuyer should use a real estate practitioner to represent them and looks after their best interests. Get an overview of the steps for home construction and financing.

• The pre-construction processes
• Blueprints and plans and specs
• Multiple walk-throughs
• Factors that influence builder pricing
• What is builder-issued credits?
• What are standard finishes versus quality options?
• Earnest money and quality option deposit
• Model Home – What you see isn’t always what you get.
• What warranties are provided – What does it not cover?
• Various contract and financing details that you do not want to miss.

Not having a strategy, the right team, and the right education could cost you tens of thousands of dollars in the purchase process. The most important thing to remember when buying new construction is to be proactive. Buyers should ask lots of questions, read all documents, and test every system and appliance in the home.
