    New Construction: What You Need To Know

    • Representation by your buyer’s broker is usually paid by the seller or builder. So, why not exploit this advantage?
    • Site agents, represent the builder and are expected to get the best deal for the builder!
    • You are much more likely to lose money by not using a buyer’s agent.
    • Having representation by a qualified buyer’s agent (ABR – Accredited Buyer’s Representative) is often FREE!

    Let me explain…

    New Construction: W­hy Do You Need A Buyer’s Agent If You Are Planning To Buy A New Construction?

    Many people enjoy looking for a new home.  It can be an exciting event consisting of seeing many homes, getting ideas, and deciding where your furniture will fit.

    New ConstructionMany others, however, find that the thought of purchasing a home, especially one which is older, is potentially fraught with pitfalls. They just can’t bring themselves to buy someone else’s problems.

    A perfect solution may be to build a new home of your very own with all the features and amenities you desire.  But, wait… How does that become a different buying process?  Can’t I just go to the new home buying store and get what I want?

    Well, that would be great but it’s not quite that easy as you may have guessed.  The first thing to do is find a qualified real estate buyer’s agent to represent you.

    But, you say… Don’t they already have agents at the showroom who already know all about their paperwork?  The models?  The upgrades, amenities they offer? All of the pricing that we need?

    Why, yes they do!  And guess who they represent?  They represent the builder.  It is their job to get the best deal they can for that builder.  The builder is their client.  You are their customer.  There is a distinctive difference between being a client vs being a customer.

    A dual agency is created if you are represented by the site agent for the builder.  The agent is not legally capable of presenting you with options which can benefit you against their client, the builder.

    New Construction: You Should Have A Buyer’s Agent Representing You Just Like The Builder Has A Seller’s Agent Representing Them.

    Your buyer’s agent will be familiar with the pitfalls of buying and building a new home. They offer the best advice when glitches occur in the process and help you through difficulties and delays which can occur for many reasons.

    It is a very common practice for the site agent to offer incentives if you agree to use the builder’s financing.  Although this may be an advantage, it can also cost you on the back end.

    New ConstructionIt has even been known to happen, that these back-end fees tacked onto the mortgage, prevent the home from meeting the appraisal value. Whereby, you would be under contract to come up with thousands of additional dollars in order to successfully close on your dream home.

    Your buyer’s agent can help you make the right decisions, weigh the options and find the financing that best meets your financial needs.  The site agents, working for the builder, usually enjoy working with a buyers agent for many reasons.

    It makes the paperwork go much more smoothly since they do not need to represent the buyer.  Professional buyer’s agents are familiar with the process and are better able to advise the buyer. Which frees up the site agent to go and assist another buyer.

    The buyer’s agent is also keeping track of time lines. They know when to spring into action to prevent issues before they occur.  The buyer’s agent is also able to answer many of the questions the buyer has prior to the initial visit so that the buyer is much more informed.

    New Construction: The Showroom

    Building a house for your dream home can be very exciting. It can also be very intimidating.  Once you have chosen the lot location, the model, the custom elevation, the exterior colors, and roof, then comes the showroom.

    New ConstructionIf the thought of picking out a paint color for your current kitchen is daunting, imagine how involved picking out every surface, finish, knob, switch plate, trim-piece, stair-railing.

    Your buyer’s agent can help you through this process with experience and guidance which can be invaluable.  Your buyer’s agent should be able to advise you as to what will bring value to the new home or what items are just expensive extravagances.

    This can become very important to you when you start to go “over-budget” and have to decide where you are willing to cut in favor of a more important feature. Many people involved in the plan to get everything just right for you.

    New Construction: If You Don’t Have A Buyer’s Agent On Your Side, How Will You Deal With An Inflexible Builder, A Non-Responsive Site Agent, Inspections, Paperwork, Documents And Terms?

    New ConstructionConsidering how many people are involved with, ordering of materials, back orders, out of stock, discontinued choices, miscommunication, and human nature issues, this can be just the tip of the iceberg.  Plainly, there are many ways that things can go other than planned.

    Unless you are planning to take on the new build as a second career, why would you not have an agent working for you to help keep things going in the right direction, protecting your interests, scheduling professionals for inspections and performing all levels of negotiation and corrections on your behalf.

    When you consider the seller pays for your representation and for the services you receive, doesn’t it just make sense?  Experienced buyers agents are adept at negotiation and how to present a request to other agents and builders.

    And just FYI. Once you have moved into your new home, your buyer’s agent is still there for you when issues arise pertaining to your home.

    Have a great day,

    Tony Ray 🙂

    1107 E. Lester Tucson, AZ 85719 Home for Sale

    This is going on the market this afternoon and it’s a flash sale, like a pop up! We just got it this morning so we are putting it up right away, you gotta come see it! This is a 1950’s bungalow with two entrances, one of those entrances is the 3rd bedroom. The really cool thing about that is you could put somebody in there as a roommate or a renter. So let’s go in, ‘m going to show you that bedroom in a few minutes.

    1107 E. Lester Tucson, AZ 85719

    This Bungalow was completely remodeled just at the beginning of this year, we’ve been waiting for it, we are so excited. It’s got a beautiful large living space. As you can see it’s furnished right now, it’s being used as a AirBNB. So this property could be a turnkey vacation rental for you or it’s ready to move in. Also, just so, you know, the artwork and all the furnishings are negotiable and can stay with this property if you do want to do a vacation rental.

    I love this property because the floor plan makes it very versatile. You can have a roommate easily because of the split bedroom, you could use this as a vacation rental. You could use it as a second home, it could be a long-term / short-term rental. There’s just this is a great floor plan. I also love that it’s a double red brick, it’s solid build. You don’t find these very often in this condition. It also has a big property in the back with covered parking and storage and with and a patio we’re going to show you that as well.

    The kitchen has been remodeled right at the beginning. That means the appliances are newer. Everything in here is newer. This is a really cool feature to me, if you’re in the living room or you have guests, all you have to do is hop over here, grab a soda. Or as Marta would say, una cerveza. Then you can pop back over there, and you don’t have to get involved in the kitchen. So if someone’s in here cooking, you’re not interfering, which is really, really cool.

    The kitchen has gas, which I love, it has a built-in microwave, it does have a dishwasher which is also something you don’t find a lot in these older homes and I love a kitchen with a window when you’re doing dishes or your cooking, I just really like the light. They did install Solar Tubes. Those are in the ceiling. You can see the extra light pointing down, so you but they don’t be lights in this house during the day, so it’s really awesome. They also did the new upgraded flat square lighting, which I also love. It brings a touch of modern to this property.

    Down at this side of the house, you have two bedrooms with closets and Marta is going to walk you over there, you’re going to see that they’re generous in size. Both of the bedrooms would fit a queen-size, or a king size bed. And still have plenty of room for a dresser or sitting chair, or whatever you need. One of the other cool things is they have semi walk-in closets. so, I can literally walk inside this…

    Really cool, right? These little old houses, usually have little tiny… How do you say it? They are very generous compared to other 1950s homes, they have a little teeny tiny door with a little teeny tiny closets. Yeah, these are good size.

    It has a linen closet in the hallway. And then you have a beautiful second bedroom and again, I can walk in this closet. It’s actually got great space, I’m all they way back here. So if you put double racks across both sides here, you can fit a lot of clothes in this bedroom, nice, right? Love this house.

    I love the calmness of the decor, it certainly feels really nice in this house. This bathroom was also updated. As you can see, it’s got a tub and the shower. They also put a solar tube to create light for this bathroom. I think I want to do that now at my house and these are Bluetooth speaker systems which are really cool, so you can play music while you sing in the shower.

    Notice the ledge, great for babies and dogs 🙂

    Bathroom number two is the same. We have a completely remodeled bathroom over here. This is a walk-in shower and it’s beautifully tiled. I really like what they did with that. They even went to to the point of putting seating in the shower at, for shaving your legs or just taking a rest, I suppose. Also great to wash babies and dogs.

    If we go over here, there’s a bonus room on this property, and this is perfect for an office or a yoga room, it’s great Flex space. You can do anything with this. It could be a guest bedroom since you don’t need a closet for a guest, typically. If you need a closet for guess, they’re saying too long. That’s my theory. So this can be a really great room. I can see having a Murphy bed here and then making it an office or combination or something. It also has an entrance out to the patio in the backyard. So that’s another really neat part of this room. So, let me show you the other the last bedroom and then we’ll go outside.

    This this originally was most likely a carport because there is a step down. It has been remodeled and converted into a laundry room and a bedroom with its own private entrance. It’s a good size laundry room, lots of light in the laundry room, which I love, and you could do a lot with this, because it’s got storage and it’s got lots of space.

    Great for Guest or Roommate Who Needs Their Own Entrance, Teenagers is Still Up for Debate

    Then we have this bedroom again, a good-sized closet and a very nice size room. A king-size bed would fit in here very easily. I love this room because of the double windows, I like a lot of light. There’s also windows on this side and, this is really cool because, you’ve got an entrance to the outside. This is back at the front where we started.

    That is really cool because you could have a guest stay here or a roommate or somebody who needs their own entrance, which is neat. I don’t suggest teenagers live in this room. They could run away, they can get into trouble.

    We’re going to go back out there and I’m going to show you the outside. One of the neat things about this property is it’s got a big spacious lot. And you gotta love it because there’s a good-sized front yard, but the backyard, you can do so much with. And if you’ve got toys or campers like we do, you want to park those with your cars. You’ve got plenty of space inside these gates.

    This is a really cool little patio right here, so you’re covered. Then you can see, over there, you’ve got a storage shed in the back. You’ve got two-car carport, you could easily fit, wow you could easily fit a couple campers, a boat, Sea-Doos and still have your pool. So I think then you would just add some privacy to the fencing and you’re all good to go. So that’s what we would do.

    This area is permit street parking. So your guests, you give them your permit. If you’re living here, you’d get a permit to put in their windows. The cool thing about this property is it actually has plenty of parking for guests, so that’s nice too. If you want to have a little get-together, you don’t have to worry about the permitted street parking.

    We’re super close to the U of A, so this is a great house for a rental if you have a professor or students or somebody who wanted to go to the UArizoa. Or Banner Hospital is down the road. The location is fantastic just from the fact that there’s so much around here.
