[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not need a realtor, and if you don’t use one, you will save about $50000. Just call the builders. [/quote]

This is terrible advice and also not true. Builders don’t just hand over what they’d normally have to pay an agent.

OP, we’ve build two houses. First one we didn’t use a realtor, second one we did. It’s good to have someone in your corner—otherwise there it’s just you opposite a powerful builder/seller. If nothing else, was very good to have our realtor’s input on what upgrades to the home would be best for resale in our area as well as someone to explain the complexities of the builder’s contracts and relevant Maryland regs.

Super helpful, thanks. Would you use a rebate broker/agent, or is it worth it to pay full price?[/quote]

NP. OP, may be helpful to explain that if you’re working with any of the bigger builders/in a community, the cost of the agent’s commission is already baked into the sales price—the builder will either pay it or pocket it. I have never heard of anyone negotiating the cost of a home down based of what agent is used/if an agent is used. [/quote]
