New Construction

Whether you are searching for a piece of land to build custom or picking a home in a new community, having an agent to represent you in the transaction is free and extremely useful. In Sarasota, the builder’s exchange has made an agreement with the realtor association that they do not offer a lower price without an agent. So take advantage of this!

Here Are a Few of the Reasons Representation in New Construction is Critical:

  • Project meets time deadlines
  • Home is inspected during build to verify subcontracted work is done correctly
  • Market knowledge to know which community and builder fit your needs
  • Knowing what to ask for or negotiate in the contract
  • Helping gather what type of financing may be best for you
  • Buffer between you and the builder saving emotions on both sides
  • Making sure you have the best resale value in our market
  • Knowing which upgrades are better left for later and what needs to be done during the build

Using a realtor creates a fiduciary relationship in which the agent must look out for the buyers best interests – which is doesn’t exist with a new home sales staff or builder. This includes making sure a buyer is not buying something overpriced for the market, providing insight into the builder practices and process, keeping leverage on the builder during the construction process.

We have worked very hard to secure long standing relationships with many of the of the builders and their sales staff in the area and use these connections for your benefit. We are not married to one community or another and are able to compare apples to apples. Don’t sell yourself short and FEEL like you are getting a good deal, GET one.

Don’t forget that new construction completion can be up to two years out, so you need to plan ahead. Don’t wait until the last minute and be forced to buy a resale if that is not what you want.

If you are interested in new construction in a community in the Sarasota area or if you are interested in finding a homesite on which to build and/or need to find a builder that is going to give you what you want, call Katy McBrayer today.
