Finding that special home that you have been dreaming about can be a whirlwind of excitement. From picturing your personalized customizations to envisioning your first home-cooked meal, these are some key moments as you start your new chapter. As you embark on your homebuying journey, it is important to hire a Realtor® who offers the expertise and understanding to guide your unique transaction.

Your Realtor® will guide important aspects, such as warranties, inspections, and future community plans. They possess in-depth knowledge of home inspections, ensuring that all necessary details are thoroughly covered.

With your busy working schedule, it becomes essential to have someone diligently working on your behalf. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of purchasing a new home, which is why having a Realtor® representing you throughout the entire process is crucial. They act as your advocate, offering advice on specific neighborhoods and locations, assisting in selecting the right lot, planning modifications, and helping understand builder contracts and paperwork. 

Additionally, they can help you find a reputable lender who will professionally guide you and support you every step of the way.

The National Association of Realtors® also stated that “61% of homebuyers who purchased homes last year used a Realtor® or Broker, emphasizing the importance of representation in the buying process. These buyers would often use the same agents again or recommend them to others.” 

Maybe your dream home is actually a model home in a new construction neighborhood. Realtors® can also assist you through the new construction process, as well. House hunting can be quite overwhelming when walking into a sales office alone. Having a Realtor® represent you may even be a benefit as you both work together and negotiate lot sizes, home upgrades, and closing costs. Keep in mind that there may be some developments that require Realtor® representation as soon as you walk into their sales office. So be prepared, and whatever the case may be, find a Realtor® before you get started.
