When purchasing a new home, you are entitled to Realtor representation. The Salesperson in the model center is working for the Builder and representing the interests of the builder/developer.
The price of your new home is the SAME with or without representation. You need someone on your side paying attention to the details of one of the biggest investments you may ever make. It’s very easy to enter into a legally binding real estate contract, yet very difficult to extract yourself from hastily made decisions.
It is always an unfortunate situation when receiving a call from new homebuyer in the process of building a new home and has run into some “glitches” in the process… only to discover that they have no Realtor representation and nobody on their side to fight their battles.
A recent phone call from NJ - family building a a new home… unfortunately the Tucson job opportunity didn’t turn out as planned and they won't be moving or into the home under construction in Rancho Sahuarita. A $7,000 deposit had been given to the builder – which they were in the process of losing... Buyer wanted to know how they might be able to get out of the contract & money returned... Realtor representation? A timid “no” was the reply and they lost the $7,000 deposit. An unfortunate sad situation and one that could possibly been avoided with Realtor representation.
Designing your new home, deciding which lot to build your home on, selecting the interior appointments, determining the type & color of flooring and building YOUR home for YOU is exciting process! But it's not necessary to begin the journey on your own or without Realtor representation.
The sales people in the model homes/sales offices are realtors and representing the interests of the builder & developer - their job quite simply is to sell you a home & lot package in their subdivision - whether is best fits your needs (or not).
How do I have a Realtor represent me for my home purchase? Your first visit to the model home center must be with your Realtor.

Why do you want or need someone representing your needs and interests when building a new home? During the initial planning and contracting stage of building a new home, I can provide insight from a re-sale perspective on floor plan functionality, home site selection, and upgrades to consider (and which ones to skip). During the construction & post-construction process I can serve as an intermediary to smooth out the "bumps" in the road. This recent article in Money Magazine illustrates why you might want someone on your side and representing your best interests when purchasing a new home.
