5 reasons to use a Realtor when buying New-Home Construction  

1. Our representation doesn't cost you. The builder pays the Realtor. It is a myth you will save money without a Realtor. The price of a new build is the same for you whether you have a Realtor as your advocate or if you go it alone.

2. In order to negotiate for you and make sure that your are getting the best value, you must let them know that you have a Realtor the first time you visit the model home, give them our name or our business card upon arriving. Builders will not let you involve a Realtor at a later date. We know how builders compare to their competition and what extras and upgrades to negotiate for your family.

3. New Home builders generally don't use state approved forms, builder contracts are prepared by the builder's attorneys and are written to protect the builder, therefore having a Realtor is an added benefit for your best interest.

4. Knowledgeable Realtor representation is best in the event of a question with the builder. We track dates and deadlines and know what are legitimate delays and what are just excuses. We take a hands-on approach and are with you every step.

5. The secure move is to have a Realtor working on your side. We have fine builders in Colorado Springs. We’ll go the extra mile for your family, let's get to work .     

It’s a good life, Chris and Mary
