Katherine Johnson New Construction Real Estate Specialist in Palm Beach Gardens

A new construction realtor is a real estate agent who specializes in helping clients buy new homes from a builder. They assist with finding the right community, negotiating with the builder, managing the building process, and ensuring the home is built correctly. A key benefit is that builders typically pay the buyer's agent's commission, so using a new construction Real Estate specialist does not cost their buyer more money.

What a new construction realtor does

Finds a community:

They can help you find a new home community that fits your needs and budget.
Handles negotiations:

They represent your interests and can negotiate on your behalf for upgrades, features, or the final price.
Manages the process:

They can oversee the entire process, from initial contract to final walkthrough, and ensure you understand all the steps.
Arranges inspections:

A new construction realtor is crucial for advocating for a thorough home inspection, which the builder's agent is unlikely to prioritize.
Helps with options:

They can assist in choosing options and upgrades and make sure the home is built to your specifications.

Key considerations

Bring them early:

It's best to have your agent accompany you on your very first visit to the builder's model home.
Builder's agent vs. your agent:

The builder's sales representative works for the builder, while your agent works exclusively for you.
Cost:

The builder usually pays the commission for the buyer's agent, as it is considered a marketing expense. This means there is typically no added cost to you for using your own agent.
