Buying New Construction? Make Sure You Have an Agent!
Many Greenville, SC homebuyers are hesitant to explore new construction homes, believing that new builds aren't made to last or sacrifice quality for efficiency. These misconceptions unfortunately cause some buyers to miss out on amazing opportunities in today's Upstate, SC housing market. New construction often offers rate buydowns, closing cost credits, and other financial incentives you won't find when shopping older homes. Plus, you can't beat the energy efficiency of new construction - buy a new build and your energy bill will thank you!
But how can you confidently navigate the oftentimes confusing world of new construction, communicating with the builder, selecting finishes, and getting the best deal possible? Let's break down the process so you can feel confident about this great option.
Choosing the Right Builder
Choosing the right Greenville, SC builder to construct your home is the first step in buying new construction. Not all builders are the same, and some value quality and honest communication more than others.
You could do the work to research all the new construction builders in Greenville, or you could skip the work and rely on a pro.
At Hamilton & Company, we have real estate agents on our team that specialize in new construction across the Upstate. Our agents know who is best to work with and which builder is going to most suit your unique needs. We can also connect you with clients of ours who have purchased in the communities you are looking at so you can gain a greater understanding of the area. Here are just a few things our agents can help with:
1. Builder Reputation
Trust us to point you to builders with strong reputations, both in the Greenville community and among other national builders.
2. Model Homes
We can help you find and tour model homes in your desired communities, highlighting key features and identifying potential opportunities for customization. Did you know that once you've gone to a model home without representation, most builders won't let you bring in representation down the road? And no matter what, you want an agent fighting for you during the contract negotiation, blue tape walkthroughs, builder conversations, and other unique aspects of the new build buying process.
3. Builder Warranties
Not only do we know the best builders in town, we work hard to maintain positive relationships with them. That means our agents are aware of every offer and incentive being presented at the time of your home purchase. Free home warranty, closing cost credit, rate buydown - there are countless creative ways to help you get the best deal possible, and our agents are well-versed in negotiating these offers.
4. Inspections
Even in new homes, inspections are critical. Our agents know what to look for in new homes and will work on your behalf with the builder, inspectors, and construction crew to make sure your new home is safe and exceeds quality standards before you move in.
