Why You Shouldn't Walk Into a New Home Builder's Office Alone

Buying a new construction home is an exciting journey—but it's not like a traditional home purchase. First and foremost, when you walk into a new home builder, the Sales Agent represents the Builder and this could put you at a disadvantage. It's important to know that you have someone representing you and that where we come in.
