Is new construction for you? 

When you are house hunting, the allure of new construction is undeniable. You get to be the first to live in the pristine home—one untouched by grimy hands or muddy shoes. It’s full of brand-new appliances and the finishes and treatments that you picked to fit your aesthetic. And you won’t have to worry about making any cosmetic or structural upgrades for years.

If you are interested in buying new construction, the builder’s agent will be ready to help you with the process. But make no mistake: You need your real estate agent from the get-go. Even if it seems like plug-and-play to sign up with the builder’s on-site agent, you’re going to want someone representing your side of the deal.
