3 Essential Tips for Buying a New Build Home. In this video, we discuss three important tips when buying a new build home. First, it’s crucial to get pre-approved with a lender before going to the builder, as an in-town lender will provide better service than the builder’s lender. Second, know exactly what you want in terms of bedrooms, bathrooms, layout, and amenities like granite countertops or a larger garage, as each builder offers something different. Lastly, it’s highly recommended to work with a real estate agent, as the builder’s agents are solely focused on getting the best deal for the builder, not you. The agent can negotiate on your behalf and help you get a better deal. #NewBuildHome #RealEstate #HomeBuying #LenderPreApproval #HomeLayout #Amenities #RealEstateAgent #Negotiation
