About the author : kmendoza

As a real estate consultant, I consider myself a SERVICE provider, and good service is something that we all appreciate. To me, it is very simple; I believe that my function as a real estate professional is to provide great service. I strive to connect the right person with the right property. If you treat people fairly, do the best you can to fulfill their needs and make them happy, and you have no hidden agenda, you cannot go wrong. I love what I do. I listen and I am very patient. I believe my mission is to find the best property, with the best terms, that best suits my client’s needs no matter how long it takes. My main concern is that when they make a decision it is the right decision for them, and a decision they will never regret.

Buying a New Construction Home

When you are buying a home it is exciting to consider new construction. But many buyers start the process without proper preparation.

The critical thing? Remember the builder has a dedicated salesperson to represent them. Along with showing you the products the builder is offering, the salesperson has a couple of critical functions:

  • Make sure you buy a home from that builder
  • Work to sell the home for the highest price possible
  • Protect the interest of the builder
  • Sell you the most profitable upgrades possible

Understand that the building process takes time and involvement. It is not like buying a pair of socks where there is one decision and you are done. Buying a new home involves hundreds of questions and answers, and then many, many decisions. And this happens over time. Builders can typically take 4 to 5 months to complete a home.

Having your own professional advocate will help you:

  • Solve problems that arise during the build process
  • Give you unbiased advice about what plans, locations, elevations and finishes would give you the best resale potential
  • Purchase the home at the best price and terms
  • Understand the new construction process, start to finish
