When Purchasing Real Estate Do You Need A Realtor?

Filed under: Florida Home Builder, Real Estate, Uncategorized — gbeaty @ 12:12 am

The answer to this question depends largely on the type of home you are looking for.  If you have decided to purchase a pre-construction or newly constructed home, you may be better off going directly to the builder’s sales office to make your purchase.  If the builder does not have to pay the 3-6% realtor’s commission, they may be willing to pass these savings along to you.

If you have done enough research to feel comfortable with the terminology and negotiating techniques, it is possible to save a great deal of money this way.  This is where having that pre-approval from your lender can become a very useful negotiating tool.  This is also true when purchasing an existing home “By Owner”.  However, since it costs you nothing to obtain a realtor’s assistance when purchasing a new or existing home since the seller is paying the realtor’s commission, you should make your decision based on your own comfort level.  Palm Coast Real Estate
