Many buyers are unsure of what they're getting themselves into when buying a new construction home. Today, I share some of the most common mistakes new construction buyers make so you can take the steps to avoid them.
One of the biggest mistakes that can be made when looking at new construction properties is failing to hire an agent to represent you. An agent who works for you will do the necessary research and talk you through the process. They'll help you figure out what kind of home you want and what builder you want to use.
An agent is also going to help you read the fine print in the new construction process. You'll have a better understanding of the warranties included and whether the building is going to be there for you if something goes wrong. They will also ensure that the quality of the home is up to snuff. There may be certain problems that aren't clear on the surface, and an agent will be able to help with that.

An agent will also help you to get a list of references who have worked with the builder in the past. Giving some of them a call and asking them some questions will give you a good idea of what to expect from a builder. Most builders have no problem giving you past references and success stories. This is a great way to set expectations and find the builder who is right for you!
