No. You can purchase directly from a builder. However, the builder’s sales representative works for the builder. A buyer’s Realtor can help you compare options, ask important questions, understand the process, and represent your interests. Representation services, agreements, and compensation will be explained before you decide to work together.

Ideally, contact your Realtor before visiting a model home or registering with a builder. Builder registration policies vary, and some may require your Realtor to be identified or present during your first visit. Reaching out early helps ensure you understand your options before making commitments.

Yes. A Realtor can help you compare communities, available homes, floor plans, included features, upgrades, estimated completion dates, and incentives from multiple builders. The goal is to help you evaluate the complete offer—not just the advertised starting price. Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

Not necessarily. Builder incentives can be valuable, but they may have eligibility requirements or require the use of a preferred lender or title company. Compare the interest rate, APR, loan fees, closing costs, cash required at closing, monthly payment, and overall loan terms before deciding.

Independent inspections may be permitted, but the timing and availability of inspections depend on the builder’s policies and your contract. Ask about inspections before signing. Your Realtor can help you identify the available inspection stages and coordinate with a qualified inspector.

We’ll review your preferences and confirm your budget, preferred locations, home features, and move-in timeline. We’ll then create a personalized list of matching new construction homes and available options for you to review. Requesting a list does not obligate you to purchase a home.
