In my continual effort to provide superior service to my clients, I am a Construction Buyers Agent, a Canadian Trademark. The 14-week course required to gain this designation was well worth the effort, as I am now fully able and qualified to help clients navigate the often complicated process of building a new home. Some people are not aware that this service exists, so I’d like to take a minute to explain why I’m a Construction Buyers Agent.
First, it is helpful to have a Construction Buyers Agent when building a new home for the same reason you’d want a realtor when buying one – we’re an impartial third-party solely focused on your needs. Building or buying a new home is a very emotional life event. Having an experienced agent at your side balances your excitement with an objective eye. Homes are big purchases and investments that most people only make at most a few times in their lives. On the contrary, I deal with real estate and home construction on a daily basis, so I can ensure you get exactly the house you want in exactly the shape you want it.
Building a home offers many complications and intricacies that most people just aren’t aware of. But as a Construction Buyers Agent, I’m specially trained to navigate those intricacies. Your builder can help, but their loyalty is ultimately to their company, not to you. Rely on your builder alone and your needs will be underrepresented.
As a Construction Buyers Agent, I’ll work with you for the entire process of building your new home. I can help you determine which add-ons will add value to your home, and help keep overruns in check. I know which rebates you’ll qualify for and help you get them. And I know which pitfalls to avoid and how. I’ll also do a walk-through with you, so you’ll know the end product matches your expectations. Ultimately, my goal is to make the building process stress-free and timely, and to make the result – your new home – better.
I’d love to know if you’ve had your own home built and how you felt about the experience, so please leave me a comment below (and as always, I’m available to my clients 24-7 at 709-682-0744). In my experience, clients have always benefited for the extra leg-up, and that’s why I’m proud to be a Construction Buyers Agent.
