All real estate agents should know the buying and selling process, grasp the market, and have a track record of success. But those qualifications are hardly enough. When you're ready for a move, you deserve more. ⁣
⁣
You deserve an agent who:⁣
⁣
- Makes the process straightforward, enjoyable, and as low-stress as possible.⁣
- Understands the intangible, emotional side of making such a major life transition.⁣
- Has the heart of a teacher.⁣
- Exudes kindness, confidence, and know-how.⁣
- Cheers you on and celebrates your success. ⁣
⁣
The truth is not all agents are the same. When you buy or sell, look for an agent who offers “more." ⁣

Brand new carpet, fresh paint, shiny appliances - what’s not to love about buying new construction? ⁣
⁣
While that new home feel is intoxicating, buying new construction can be tricky without some initial know-how. So you can experience all the pros and none of the pitfalls, here are three mistakes to avoid when purchasing a new construction home.⁣
⁣
Failing to research the area ahead of time.
It’s easy to fall in love with a neighborhood and floor plan before doing your due diligence about the surrounding community. Ask around to assess what’s happening (or not happening!) in the area that may impact your home’s value down the road.⁣

Not thoroughly vetting your builder/developer.

A builder can make or break your experience buying new construction, so make sure you do your research. And don’t just take his word for it - ask for referrals, read online reviews, and talk to your agent about what they know.⁣

Waiving the home inspection.

Heads up! Newer homes can have just as many problems as older homes, so don't waive the home inspection. It can alert you to things your builder overlooked or didn't properly complete.⁣

Do you know the difference between the price versus the value of a home? 🤔⁠
⁠
The VALUE of a home is relatively more subjective since it's determined by the house's style, location, finishes, updates, condition, and design, among other similar categories.⁠
⁠
The PRICE of a home is a calculated number that's determined using comparable market analysis. While this one is a bit more objective, the value will also be considered when calculating a price.⁠
