Why You Need a Realtor If You’re Purchasing a Disney Area New Built Home

Purchasing a new built home from a builder can seem like an easy task for a buyer who lives 10 minutes up the street and can monitor the process however if you live out of state or in another country the new construction avenue can be a complicated process if you don’t have someone looking out for you and your home here in the area.

Disney Area Builder’s Sale People Are Not Working For You!

This is the number one rule that buyers always seem to get confused about.  You walk into a new home sales office and are greeted by some friendly faces.  You browse the models and then talk with the builders sale rep for a while about the community.  You establish a rapport with this sale person and you now feel like you know, like and trust him/her.  This may very well be the case but this sales rep works for the builder just like a seller’s agent works for the seller of a house.  If you want your best interest represented and you want someone looking our for YOU not the person who gives them their weekly paycheck than you must seek the professional assistance of a local Realtor who knows the area.  This service is usually always free to you (the builder pays your Realtor) and the Realtor has a fiduciary duty to you not the builder.

Disney Area Realtors Will Be Your Eyes and Ears While You’re Away

Most any Realtor that you choose to represent you in your new home purchase will be more than glad to become your eyes and ears while you’re not around.  A good Realtor will drive by your property while under construction at least one to two times per week, take pictures, check on the property and report back to you with this information. Often times the builders sales reps are just too busy selling more homes and peddling paperwork to take this type of time out of their day for you.   Without pictures of the progress on your home you really have no way of knowing

how far along the home is in completion,
if everything is being installed correctly,
if the upgrades you ordered actually end up in the house

and the list can goes on.

Important Walk Thrus and Check Ups You May Not Be Able To Make
One of the most important jobs your Realtor can perform for you is the final walk thru.  This is when the home is completed and you are required to walk thru and inspect the property, sign off that everything is or isn’t okay and order any last minutes fixes or repairs.  If you don’t have anyone you trust to do this for you and you can’t do it your self you may end up in the position of having your home sit past the closing date and incurring additional fees for holding up the closing until you can get down here to inspect it. Realtors are virtually the only professionals that are willing to do this for you without charging you a fee (the builder pays their commission).  Home inspectors will charge you upwards of $300 to preform this action.  I can’t tell you how many time I have done walk thrus for my clients that lived out of state or country because they couldn’t get a flight out or they just couldn’t make it at that time.  Had they not appointed me as their Realtor it would have cost them thousands in the end.

IMPORTANT!!!
In closing I want to add that if you are considering a Disney area new home purchase and you want to be represented for free by a Realtor that you should always consult the Realtor of your choice before you visit the property. many builders will not compensate your Realtor and allow them to represent you if they are not the first person to escort you or register you for that community.
