New Home Communities love unrepresented buyers!
Don’t be one of them!

 

In order to be legally represented by a Buyer’s Agent you MUST contact that agent BEFORE you contact the New Home Community!

Did you know ?

1) New home salespersons are not necessarily licensed by the State of Florida and are not legally required to be. They may have no previous real estate experience

2) New home salespersons are not necessarily licensed Realtors and are not legally required to be. 

3) New home salespersons represent the builder/developer and owe you no fiduciary duty.

4) New home salespeople may be unfamiliar with the local real estate market and its inventory and only know of their product line. Some may know little of their competitors.

5) A new home salespersons job is to get you to buy their product on your first visit by spending as much time with you as possible. The longer you are there, the more likely you will become emotionally attached and purchase. 

6) If you contact a new home development or community by visiting, calling, or email, and provide them with your name, phone number, or address, you become "registered" with that development and may forfeit your rights to representation by a Realtor/Buyer Agent.

 

 

In the Naples area approximately 50%-65% of New Home Buyers utilize the services of a Realtor/Buyer Agent!


Why use a Buyer Agent's to purchase New Construction?

 

1) A Realtor specializing in new communities can offer you a wider selection of communities, homes, and locations to choose from than if you would try to attempt the process yourself. It is nearly impossible for an out-of-state purchaser to possibly be aware of all local happenings in our new home market.

2) A Realtor specializing in new communities is aware of upcoming new home lotteries and future communities requiring advance registration.

3) A Realtor specializing in new communities is aware of new home communities which are currently taking reservations for future sales.

4) A Realtor specializing in new communities can advise you on the good and bad aspects of a particular new community and advise on how strong or weak sales are at that development. 

5) A Realtor specializing in new communities can assist with lot locations, inform you on other residential or commercial developments or future construction surrounding the community, help with your selection of upgrades and options, provide information on rental prospects and estimates, and follow and update you on the construction progress of your new home.

6) A Realtor specializing in new communities will guide you through the builder's contract, deposit procedures, condo association documentation, miscellaneous contribution fees and assessments, closing costs, golf memberships, and inspections.

7) A Realtor specializing in new communities will review the closing documentation and check for accuracy.

8) A Realtor acting as a Buyer Agent owes you, the client, specific responsibilities and fiduciary duties which are required by Florida law. These duties include loyalty, confidentiality, obedience, and full disclosure of information including all known facts that materially affect the value of a property. In a new home community, the salesperson is usually an employee of the builder or a large corporation. They owe you absolutely no fiduciary duty.

9) A Realtor acting as a Buyer Agent has no allegiance to any new community or development and can provide you with unbiased information.

10) A Realtor specializing in new communities must be informed of the general real estate market in the Naples area. He or she must be familiar with a large range and variety of property. The new home salesperson may not fully be aware of the local real estate market as their responsibility is to their community.

11) A Realtor specializing in new communities can also show you resale properties if you are considering them or wish to compare existing homes to new construction.

12) A Realtor specializing in new communities is nearly always paid by the builder. There is no cost to the client. 

13) A Realtor specializing in new communities will save you a considerable amount of frustration, confusion, time, and perhaps money. The Naples real estate market is extremely active, competitive, demanding, and fast-moving. Having an informed, knowledgeable, unbiased, and objective professional Realtor working with you and for you is your best advantage.

 

Please remember it is in your best interest NOT to contact a new home community or development if you intend to use a Realtor/Buyer Agent in your home search. In Florida, by giving a new home community your name, address, email, or phone number, you become "registered” with that development thus becoming “their” buyer and you may effectively forfeit the representation and services of a Realtor/Buyer Agent. They do not have to disclose this to you.
