New construction home purchases have become a larger and larger segment of the Charleston market lately. Today we are going to talk about buying new homes and if you need a buyer’s agent to do so.

Buying a new home through a builder seems so simple, why would you need a buyer’s agent? For starters, it costs you absolutely nothing to have a professional on your side. If you want to test this, walk into any new construction office and ask them to discount the home by the amount you would have paid a buyer’s agent. They will always say no.

Many buyers don’t know that even with new construction, there is room for negotiation. I got one of my clients $25,000 in upgrades from negotiations alone.


Finally, you have an advocate on your side. Having someone who can talk to builders without involving emotion can be valuable, and they may be able to solve certain problems you are unable to.

Having an agent on your side during a new home purchase not only brings their experience in, but the knowledge that you will have an independent home inspector walk through the home so you know what you’re paying for. Use our experience to make your dream a reality!
