Think you are saving the realtor commission by not using
one? Think again! Most builders have the commission
structured into the package. They do not discount it if
you do not use a realtor; they put it in their pocket.
They dont discount it because many of their sales
come from Realtors, and they do not want to alienate the
Realtors. In many cases, Realtor Bob Burton is aware
of additional incentives the builder is offering on new
construction and special deals on existing inventory and
can negotiate a better sales price.
Find out why you need an independent, licensed, home inspector
to make sure your home is built to appropriate codes. Learn
how to get one at no charge to you through Realtor Bob
Burton. Did you know there is no city or county home
inspection of that home you are building if it is outside
the city limits of Houston? You may have to pay to fix
problems out of your own pocket.
Unless you have been in the construction industry, how
will you know if the builder is doing what he should be
doing? Has the foundation vapor barrier been penetrated?
Are the roof supports the proper size? Find out how Realtor
Bob Burton, former construction superintendent for
a custom homebuilder, can walk you through the building
process.
The builder tells you he will pay your loan origination
fees and owners title policy if you use his lender. It
sounds like a great deal, possibly saving you $2,000 to
$4000 dollars. Is it? It may cost you $20,000 dollars or
more over the life of your loan. Find out why! Find out
how to negotiate a better loan interest rate.
