It might not seem necessary to involve a real estate professional in a transaction where you can deal directly with a builder. Think again! A buyer's agent, (a real estate professional representing the buyer's interests) can guide you along the right path, smooth the rough places and help ensure your decision is one you can live with (and in) for many years. Here's how:

• Just as a real estate professional calls on experience and knowledge of an area to help buyers locate pre-owned homes in a community, 3:16 team Realty can also direct buyers interested in newly built homes to developments and communities that match client specifications.
• 3:16 team Realty can recommend builders based on their reputation for delivering a high-quality product, responding quickly to issues, and being financially sound.
• 3:16 team Realty is familiar with builder pricing and where there may be room to negotiate price or upgrades.
• Without agent representation, you are one buyer purchasing only one home. 3:16 team Realty's leverage may work in your favor at the negotiating table. [Note: Most builders may require the agent to accompany you on your first visit to the site. Please check with the agent prior to visiting the community.] 
• When relocating to a new area, 3:16 team Realty can be particularly a valuable resource. In addition to providing local area information regarding schools, day care or elder care services, public transportation, proposed development, and so on, 3:16 team Realty can periodically stop by the work site to supply you with updates and photographs as the construction progresses. 
• 3:16 team Realty can assist you as you face hundreds of design choices to determine which upgrades could potentially add value to the home when it comes time to sell. We know which features have better resale value than others and which features are not upgradable once the house is constructed. Hence, having a great resource during the pre-construction/ pre-design phase is essential to ensure that your home will meet your needs for a long time. 
• 3:16 team Realty can accompany you to the site during the plumbing and electrical walk-thru's prior to drywalling, as well as on the final walk-through and builder orientation.

By now, you should be convinced of a real estate professional's value as you search for and purchase a newly built home. Still, here's one more great reason to work with 3:16 team Realty — the builder pays the agent's commission. You enjoy individual attention and support at no cost to you. What a great way to start life in a new home!
