BEFORE YOU ENTER A SUBDIVISION, REMEMBER THIS… 

The subdivision agent and the agent on the sign always represent the builder or the seller. They do not negotiate on your behalf. They have a LEGAL obligation to negotiate the best price and terms on the seller’s behalf. That means you have no one representing YOUR best interests , therefore you may be paying too much or lose out on buyer incentives such as closing costs, upgrades, landscaping packages, etc., because you did not have a Buyers Agent represent your interest. A Buyers Agent represents YOUR interests, negotiates on YOUR behalf and our fee is paid for by the Seller. 

HOW DO YOU BENEFIT FROM USING A BUYERS AGENT WHEN PURCHASING YOUR NEXT HOME?
 
The Buyers Agent’s responsibility, loyalty and confidentiality is to their client, not the builder or seller. When you work exclusively with a Buyers Agent, they are committing their time, knowledge of the market, and professional experience to you so that you fully understand what would be typical and customary for the market in which you are buying. A professional Buyers Agent typically previews 30 to 50 homes per week! Because they work in the market every day, they gain expertise and are able to advise you in regards to offer price, closing costs, contracts and special stipulations, mortgages, home inspections, builder incentives and the final walk thru. A Buyers Agent is also able to handle the challenges that can come up between the time you sign the contract and the closing. 

SO ASK YOURSELF THIS…Wouldn’t it be better to have someone on your side and in your court when you are deciding on one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make? How much money or grief could it cost you in the long run without an experienced agent looking out for your best interests above their own?

REMEMBER…If you buy directly from the subdivision agent, you have no representation on your behalf. To preserve your right to have a Buyers Agent’s representation, you must always let the subdivision agent know that you are working with Team Christine, Inc.
