Thinking of buying in a new build community? Don't go at it alone—bring your own buyer's agent!
The builder's sales rep works for them, not you.
Your agent represents your interests: negotiating upgrades, incentives, better terms, spotting contract pitfalls, and guiding you through the process to protect you. Best part? It's completely free for you as the buyer. Builders budget for buyer agent commissions as part of their marketing/sales costs. That money is already allocated—whether you bring an agent or not, the home price stays the same.
Skipping your agent doesn't get you a better deal; the builder just pockets the commission they would've paid. You get expert advocacy at zero cost to you. Win-win!
U.S. investor home purchases fell 6% year over year in the first quarter to their lowest level since 2020, when the start of the pandemic ground homebuying to a halt. Prior to 2020, the last time investors bought so few homes was in 2016.
"Higher mortgage rates, slowing price growth and rising construction costs are giving both investors and individual homebuyers pause. Flippers and investors are scaling back, and being much more strategic when they do buy homes," said Tamara Mattox-Kabat, a Redfin Premier agent in Denver. #realestate

@Tesla Anyone else experiencing the issue where Grok seems to interrupts itself and ultimately has a conversation with itself in-car due to the speaker output and microphone sensitivity?
