Register representation before you tour
Builders have different policies for registering a buyer's agent. Ask about the policy before an online inquiry, self-guided visit or sales-office appointment. The builder's sales staff represents the builder; clarify your own representation and compensation arrangements separately.
Compare incentives on total cost
An incentive may be tied to a particular lender, closing date or home. Compare loan estimates, rate terms, fees and the purchase price together. A design credit is not the same as cash toward closing, and a rate promotion may have conditions or a limited duration.
Understand what is included
Models can feature upgrades that are not part of the base price. Review the lot premium, options, landscaping, appliances and finish schedule in writing. Consider resale appeal and maintenance as well as the initial look of an upgrade.
Plan for inspections and timing
Discuss independent inspection access and construction milestones before signing. Delivery dates may shift. Review warranty procedures and document issues during walkthroughs. Coordinate moving, financing and any existing-home sale with enough flexibility for the contract's terms.

Common questions
Do I need my own agent for a new-build home?
Independent representation can help you compare communities, review purchase terms and coordinate the process. Builder sales representatives work for the builder. Confirm agent registration and compensation policies before your first visit because policies differ and may affect whether your chosen agent can represent you in that community.

Not necessarily. Compare the net price, required lender fees, interest-rate terms, upgrades and deadlines. An incentive may depend on using an affiliated lender or closing on a specific date. Ask for the conditions in writing and compare a complete loan estimate with other eligible financing choices.
