How I help if you buy a new home
You can bring your own agent to the builder's sales office. Many builders require the agent to come with you or be registered on your first visit; if you go alone the first time, you may lose that option.
Many builders offer compensation to the buyer's agent, but each has its own policy and the law doesn't require it: ask the builder in writing before you sign.
I help you compare communities and builders and review the contract (which usually favors the builder), HOA and CDD charges, an independent inspection and the closing, in Spanish or English.
