When buying a new construction home, it’s imperative to have an agent represent you.

This means if you run into any issues with them (perhaps they built something that wasn’t agreed upon), they may not be as open to correcting the issue than they would if you worked with an agent. An experienced agent with a network of other agents could talk negatively about them and prevent those agents from bringing more buyers to the builder’s community, which means they wouldn’t want to upset your agent and impact their future sales.
