Buying a Brand New Home - Should You Use an Agent?

You can walk into a model home and buy directly from the sales rep, but who does that person work for? Not you! They aren't trying to figure out which floor plan, which builder, which subdivision is right for you... they are trying to sell you their product. A good Realtor® will talk to you and match you up with the builder that is offering the best home for your needs. Do you have kids? Do you want to live in a community with pools and parks and walking trails? Would you rather live in a quiet neighborhood with little or no HOA dues?

A good Realtor® stays informed about special and closeouts being offered to get you the best deal on your new home. A good Realtor® represents YOU throughout the process. It doesn't stop when the contract is written. It doesn't stop at closing.


One of the great deals available now - For the month of August Centex is offering buyers 3% for closing costs, the owner's title policy, and will include a washer, dryer, and refrigerator in one of their communities. Buyers must use CTX Mortgage. This deal includes specs and build jobs! The community doesn't have pool. Centex Homes was rated 2nd in the J. D. Power new home builder survey for 2006.
