New Construction · Mansfield, TX
Do You Need a Realtor for New Construction in Mansfield, TX?
You don't have to have one. But here's why I'd never recommend buying a new build on your own.
The Short Version
No, you don't have to use a Realtor to buy a new construction home. But would you go to a surgeon who has never done the specific surgery you need? The builder's sales team works for the builder. I work for you, as your consultant from your first model home visit to closing day. I wouldn't recommend buying new construction without someone on your side.
What I do for new construction buyers
- Walk you through the new construction buying process
- Provide and compare builders and communities
- Discuss builder incentives and which option helps you most
- Help you decide which upgrades are worth paying for
- Look over the builder contract with you
- Make sure you understand the property taxes, including any MUD or PID
One important tip: many builders require your agent to be with you, or registered, on your very first visit. Call me before you tour a model home.
I've put everything in one place on my New Construction Buyer's Agent page, including the property tax surprise to watch for and answers to common questions.
