Why Use a Realtor When
Buying New Construction?
1. You’re Not Alone
The builder’s sales team works for the builder—not you. A licensed realtor represents your best interests from start to finish.
2. Expert Guidance
We help you compare builders, evaluate floorplans, review upgrade options, and watch for contract clauses that could cost you later.
3. Lot & Location Insight
Realtors know the local market—what’s priced right, which communities are growing, and what resale value might look like in 5 years.
4. Help with Financing
We can connect you with lender options and help you understand construction mortgage terms, rate holds, and GST impacts.
5. It Costs You Nothing
Your agent’s fee is paid by the builder. You get professional support—at no extra cost.
Thinking about building new? Let’s talk early—before you walk into a show home. It’s the easiest way to protect your investment and avoid surprises.
Steps for prospective builders:
- Pre-approve financing early, syncing lock dates with build timeline.
- Vet builders meticulously—portfolio, inspections, client feedback.
- Budget extra 5–10% for landscaping, finishing, and contingency.
- Secure comprehensive home warranty and track defects via Alberta New Home Warranty
- Consider hiring your own home inspector—not the builder’s—to catch issues.
