Get your own agent!
Posted September 15, 2013

If you want to be represented in a transaction by a real estate professional, you will need to use a buyer's agent! The onsite agents at new construction subdivisions represent the BUILDER! That does not make them a bad person, but they are there on behalf of the company that hired them.  Agents that list homes on behalf of a seller are bound to look out for that person's interest. Make sure that you have someone that is ON YOUR SIDE when your buy.
