Work with a New Construction Buyer's Advocate! Whether you’re:

Building your first home Buying your retirement or dream home Rehabilitating an old one  What do these and other builders have in common?  Gemcraft  KHovnanian Beazer Anderson Ryland Schell Brothers The Peninsula Ryan Homes Robinson Builders Double R Enterprises PJ King Enterprises Equity Homes They build a quality house and are used to working with a buyer after a realtor drops them off at their doorstep and vanishes until closing.  In contrast, the other thing these builders have in common is that we have negotiated with each of them vigorously on behalf of our clients.  Rather than the typical drop and run technique of others, we roll up our sleeves with our clients to help them pick out the best house models, choosing options and upgrades that are cost effective and truly adding value to their purchase.   We will be your advocate with the builder.  Many people don't realize just how much negotiation is possible and miss opportunities to really get what they want and need.  Remember, the sales agent in the model home can only represent the builder, not you. They are known as sellers' agents and are paid to provide the most value for the builder.  As a buyer, you can work with a buyer's agent at no additional cost.  It's his/her business to best represent your needs by being knowledgeable about home construction, warranties, financing, differences in pricing, quality, even lot selection so that you get the best value for your money. That's what we do -- achieve the best value in new construction in the marketplace.  Step by Step Support:   ·       Idea stage -- where do you want to live?  When?  What about your other house you live in now....? ·       Design and Plans -- what fits your lifestyle the best? ·       Choosing the Builder -- which builder will understand what you need the best? ·       Financing -- Helping you coordinate the financing; whether with the builder's mortgage company where we use our extensive banking experience to consult with the lender or with our own company.  We plan with you on the best way to make the purchase without jeopardizing your sanity.... ·       Consultation along the way -- helping you find an insurance agent, attorney, learn about the new community you're joining -- where are the hospitals, grocery stores, drug stores, other staples of life that you need?   This is a market where we KNOW you can achieve great values with the RIGHT team on your side! Without question, we can help you spend your money wisely on the important things in your new home and maximize your investment value.  Just ask our clients!  They consistently have more equity in their homes at the closing than the cost of building. Case in point: Last year, February, 2007, as the market appeared to be plateauing in price, we helped a couple with two children buy a newly constructed home in a quiet, pretty community.  The offering price from the builder: $350,000.  The final price, after Robin had finished negotiating, was $295,000 plus 3% help toward closing.  Chad coordinated the financing with the builder's mortgage company to assure they received a fairly priced loan. But, that's not the end of the story:  as interest rates fell recently, our clients approached Chad about the possibility of refinancing.  AMAZINGLY, the appraisal just came in at $330,000!  In a "down" market, our clients have an almost 12% gain in value in their home!!!  Do you think they're happy??  What do you think their neighbors think? We have several clients that can tell you a similar story -- negotiated prices that produce significant value in today's market!
