Buying a New Construction Home

We were asked to put this report together, based on an experience friends of ours had at a new home site. Unaware of the disadvantages inherent to working with a builder’s salesperson, they signed a contract on the spot.

Did you know you should have your own Realtor represent you when buying a new construction home from a builder?

Here’s why:

First and foremost, the salesperson at the construction site sales office represents the builder only. That means they’re obligated to keep the builder’s best interests in mind, not yours!
Using the builder’s salesperson will NOT save you money. There’s no additional cost to you to have us represent you in the purchase your new construction home – and in some cases we’re able to negotiate savings.
We provide unbiased guidance on the many structural and design options available for your home.
Should there be any concerns that arise after you move in, we can act as your advocate with the builder, if needed. Again, the builder’s salesperson is representing the builder, not you.

If you’re interested in a new construction purchase, please contact us and we’ll let you know how we can help you. If you visit a new construction development without us, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Most builders request that you sign their register when you visit their model homes or construction site. You do NOT have to sign their register.
If you do sign a builder’s register, our name must be listed to ensure our relationship as your Realtor is honored. If you do sign the register, be sure to contact us immediately!

If we can help you in any way, don't hesitate to contact us!

“Working with Drew and his team was a very positive experience. In fact, they were so good, I will always turn to them as my real estate professionals! I was a bit nervous about their knowledge of my area when we started the process as they aren’t located directly in Castle Rock, however, Drew said they knew the area and I trust Drew. As it turned out, they really knew the area! The neighborhood research provided was accurate and the sale price they suggested was exactly on target. Our house so… Read more

“Working with Drew was a little piece of home sweet home: comfortable, familiar, safe and exciting! My husband and I were very new to the home buying process and in this market, we needed someone whose expertise would deliver us fast results while ensuring we felt secure in our decision. Drew provided both of these things and THEN SOME.

Shopping for a home with Drew was always a positive experience. Not once did we ever feel pressure from him to make a decision which was a relief because this ma… Read more

“Drew was extremely dedicated to finding me a home. He always knew about a new home available in my portal before I did. He went out of his way to show me homes whenever it was convenient for me. Drew was never pushy, but always available to answer my questions. He supported my decisions 100%, but when asked, he was helpful and knowledgeable with his advice. Each person he recommended to me (as a lender, inspector, or other service provider) was also willing to go above and beyond to make my hom… Read more

“We were the type who believed we could survive alone in the home buying process using search sites and making the calls. The filters and email alerts allowed us to find a house that “checked all the boxes.” The deal ended up falling through and we felt it was because we didn’t have proper representation. After comparing that disaster to the incredible experience we had buying our first home with Drew, we are convinced we will use an agent going forward and Drew Schneider will be our first choic… Read more
