Do NOT use the Builders Agent in Huntsville AL!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quite frequently we have buyers searching for\u00a0new homes in Huntsville, Al<\/strong>\u00a0ask us \u201cWhy should I not use the builders agent?\u201d. \u00a0 The vast majority of the time buyers think they are going to save money but doing so.\u00a0If you think you are going to save money, I\u2019d suggest you think again<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 The standard practice in Huntsville is for the seller to pay the Buyer\u2019s agent…you are out NOTHING.\u00a0 Why NOT use your own agent?<\/p>\n

There are several reasons to have a buyers agent represent you, but I\u2019ll touch on the biggest reason why today:<\/p>\n

\"UseAlabama is a Dual Agency state-meaning, the\u00a0Huntsville builders agent<\/strong>\u00a0can NOT legally represent you!\u00a0 They must remain neutral to both parties.\u00a0 Do you want someone that won\u2019t fight for YOU?\u00a0 Do you want someone that will not negotiate HARD on your part?\u00a0 Legally, the builders agent can NOT do that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Case in point:\u00a0 I recently had a buyer that was purchasing in a new subdivision.\u00a0 They tried to negotiate with the on-site agent without their own agent…all they wanted was a transom above the office door.\u00a0 The listing agent informed them that the builder does NOT negotiate.\u00a0 They were upset and left.\u00a0 Soon after, they called me.\u00a0 I pulled comparables for the neighborhood and saw that the vast majority of homes in this particular Madison subdivision<\/strong> had NOT sold for list price.\u00a0 The next week, I went with the buyers and negotiated $7000 worth of upgrades and discounts on the home.\u00a0 True story!\u00a0 Thankfully, they had researched buyer agency in Alabama and made the decision to bring in THEIR own agent, who the builder paid, by the way.\u00a0 So, in this case they saved $7000! Hard earned money that could be spent on a down payment, blinds, new furniture, a fence…you get the point.<\/p>\n

When you\u00a0build a home in Huntsville, Al<\/strong>\u00a0there ARE going to be issues arise, whether large or small.\u00a0 Many times I see buyers get intimidated and hate to \u201cstir it up\u201d for fear of upsetting the builder.\u00a0 If you hire a\u00a0Huntsville Buyers Agent<\/strong>, THEY will gladly stir it up for you and ensure that your home is completed to your satisfaction, as it should be!<\/p>\n

Many times, buyers get so excited when they tour the model homes.\u00a0 The listing agent is there to SELL homes for the builder and most are trained to \u201cGet That Sale\u201d.\u00a0 I promise you, 99.99% of the time, that house will still be there the next day.\u00a0 Leave your emotions at the door the next time you tour a gorgeous Model home and call YOUR agent! An agent that WILL negotiate for you! These are just 2 GREAT reasons why you should hire a\u00a0Huntsville Buyers Agent<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to represent you in the largest purchase of your lifetime!The\u00a0@Homes Realty Group<\/strong>\u00a0agents are highly trained in New Construction\u00a0homes for sale in Huntsville<\/strong>.\u00a0 We would love to help!\u00a0 If you\u2019d like to interview us, we\u2019d love to meet you.\u00a0 We WILL fight for you, from contract to close.\u00a0 We promise!Don’t forget. \u00a0When searching our\u00a0@Homes Realty Group website<\/a><\/strong>, we now have a “search by builder<\/a>” search tool!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
