Why You Need Your Own Agent

When buying new construction, having your own buyer's agent isn't just helpful—it's critical to protecting your interests.

First Visit Registration Required

Builders require your agent to register you on your very first visit. If you walk into a model home alone, the builder's sales representative will be assigned to "represent" you—but they work for the builder, not you. Once this happens, I can no longer represent you in that community.

Without Your Own Agent

  • Builder sales rep works for the builder, not you
  • No one negotiating on your behalf
  • May miss upgrade credits and incentives
  • Contract reviewed by builder's team only
  • No independent inspection recommendations
  • No advocate if construction issues arise
  • Lost opportunity once you register alone

  • I work exclusively for YOU, not the builder
  • Expert negotiation for upgrades and credits
  • Know all current builder incentives
  • 30+ years reviewing builder contracts
  • Independent inspection guidance
  • Your advocate from contract to closing
  • Zero cost—builder pays my commission

What I Can Negotiate

Builder contracts have more room for negotiation than most buyers realize.

Upgrade Credits

Free or discounted upgrades like flooring, cabinets, countertops, and appliances.

💰

Closing Cost Credits

Builder contributions toward your closing costs, often $5,000-$20,000+.

Lot premium reductions, price matching, and end-of-quarter incentives.

🏗️

Structural Options

Additional rooms, garage space, or layout modifications at reduced cost.

🔧

Extended Warranties

Enhanced warranty coverage beyond standard builder warranties.

📅

Timeline Flexibility

Extended rate locks, delayed closings, or expedited completion when needed.

"The builder's sales rep was friendly, but Dr. Jan found $15,000 in credits they never mentioned. She paid for herself ten times over—and cost us nothing."
