Lake Ridge Virginia Real Estate Help For Sellers and Buyers: December 2011

When You Think You Want To Start Looking at New Homes....Make Sure You Have Your REALTORS® Card.

Just a quick reminder to any of my readers who are thinking they may want to buy a New Home this year. There are so many builders and floor-plans and communities to choose from now that new home builders have secured many amazing lots as the economy was in the tank.

This is all good news for you all. But, please remember when you visit a New Home Model and you go inside and they have you sign that "registration form". When you do, you give up the right to have Buyer Agent Representation if you do not name your REALTOR® at that point.

Why- Builders are just like For Sale By Owners. The person working on site in most cases is not a licensed REALTOR®. They work for the builder and the builder alone.

I used to work as a New Homes Sales Manager. What you need to know, is there is no cost for you to have a REALTOR® representing you. I will not only help you, I will be able to coach you on your options. When and if things get a little stressful between you and the builder,throughout the building process, you will always have representation and an advocate working to help you.

So call me and share with me what you are looking for. I will in return send you a stack of my cards. That way if you are out and about and happen to stroll into a builders model, just hand them my card. The sales person will immediately take you as a serious prospect, someone who has all their ducks in a row and they be less likely to interrogate you for information. You will find that the process all of sudden becomes"let's see what home style fits your wants and needs the best"  versus, the twenty questions about where you live, how much do you make, how soon before you want to buy...and so on...and so forth.
