First Release Homes Agent Benefits
There are many benefits of utilizing the services of First Release Homes when considering purchasing a new home or condo in the early stages of planning and development. Purchasing pre-construction real estate is sometimes risky and quite different than traditional real estate purchasing. That’s why we put you in touch with the builder sales representative directly or one of our new home specialist to provide you with the best resources and information when considering purchasing a pre-constructed new home or condo. Our pre-screened network of builders and agents offers you the best chance and selection of securing a new home or investment property the moment it's released for sales often before the general public becomes aware of the new development through traditional methods.Involving a traditional real-estate agent in a pre-construction transaction may put you at risk from taking best advantage of the first release, or prevent you from maximizing your return on investment and selection. Our featured builders and new home specialists help buyers by recommending the best unit, floor plan, view and a whole host of pre-construction considerations, not typically known by traditional real estate agents. A new home specialist representing the buyer’s interests can guide you along the pre-construction buying and building process, help ensure you make a wise investment decision, and help you avoid the pitfalls and potential risks of investing in new construction.
More reasons to take advantage of using a new home specialist:
- Just as a real estate agent draws on experience and knowledge about an area to help buyers locate existing and pre-owned homes in a community, an experienced new home specialist can direct buyers interested in newly built homes to areas of interest and match the buyer’s requirements with the right homebuilder and development.
- An experienced new home specialist can suggest builders based on their reputation for delivering a high-quality product and responding quickly to issues. Our specialists are familiar with property specifics, understand how builders price new homes, and can help you determine if there is room to negotiate on price or upgrades.
- Many First Releases sell out quickly and prices typically rise steadily in subsequent releases as the developer builds momentum and demand in the community increases. Because our specialists have established working relationships with builders, developers and their sales and marketing agents, we are often able to get our buyers/members viewing appointments in new developments before they are release to the general public.
- Without agent representation, you are one buyer purchasing one home. First Release Homes can significantly impact a builder’s bottom line by providing a steady supply of home buyers. The First Release advantage may work in your favor by helping you secure a new home the moment it's released for sale. (Note: The builder may require a First Release associate to accompany you on your initial visit to the site or sales office.)
- If you are relocating to a new area, a new home specialist can be a particularly valuable. They can provide you with information about schools, daycare or elder care services, public transportation, future proposed developments, and other local services. Once construction is under way, your new home specialist will periodically stop by the construction site; supply you with progress reports, and photograph or videotape phases of the construction.
- Our new home specialists understand and can answer your questions about any government, building or environmental regulations so that your investment is protected from groundbreaking to completion.
- New home specialists stay abreast of all the new communities under development in their area and track progress and sales. They can help you find new homes before they are advertised to the general public.
- A new home specialist can assist you as you face design choices and consider which upgrades might add value to your new home when it eventually comes time to sell. Features that might be considered standard in one neighborhood could be a special order in another.
