Thinking about Buying New Construction?! READ THIS SECTION FIRST!

DID YOU KNOW The new construction salespeople work for the builder and NOT YOU?! 

The Salesperson at the Model Center represents the builder’s interests, NOT YOURS! 

It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you have your own Realtor to represent you and negotiate on your behalf with the builder!

The builders are trying to build as many homes as possible at any given time so it is imperative that you have your own realtor to ensure that your home gets the attention it needs!

During construction your Tampa’s Home Source realtor will:

-Make sure construction progress is on time.

-Coordinate with the project manager throughout the build.

-Conduct construction site visits to make sure the contractors are keeping the site clean and orderly.

-Coordinate Inspections with professional home inspectors and the builder.

-Ensure your Home Loan is progressing on schedule to coordinate with the build out time of your home.

-Conduct multiple home site visits with you to address any defects or construction concerns.

-Ensure any construction defects or concerns are addressed and completed by the builder BEFORE CLOSING.

-Be your liaison and trusted advisor that represents you throughout the build and buy process to the builder's representatives.
