Purchasing New Construction in Helena Montana

Why should I use an agent to purchase a new-construction home?

The advantages of having us help you purchase a new home are the same as those for purchasing an existing home for resale. We can provide you with valuable insight into the new construction industry, help you find the perfect home quickly, and then provide you with expertise in contract writing, negotiation, & assistance in getting your dream home closed. The builder has a professional real estate representative who watches out for his or her best interests, and you need and deserve the same expert representation watching out for yours.

Buying a new home is a little more difficult and time-consuming than buying a resale home. We can professionally guide you through this process. Having spent years working with builders, The Swinney Sells Team has a rapport with them and a database of information about subdivisions, floor plans, etc. The Swinney Sells Team is also very familiar with new home warranties & the nuances of the builder’s purchase contracts and various home inspections.

It is very important that your interests be professionally represented when you are entering into a contract for a semi-custom or build-to-suit home. These transactions are complex and the contract details must be exactly in order to protect and to ensure that you get exactly the home you want!

And when it comes to the home inspection, we will explain to you why it is essential to hire an independent home inspector to thoroughly inspect a newly constructed home.

Are there any advantages to not using an agent to purchase a new home?

There is no financial advantage for you to buy directly from the builder. Builders typically have a “single price” policy, meaning that you will be charged the same price whether an agent represents your interests or not. Just as in resale, the seller pays your agent’s fee. Most builders will make you give up your right to representation if you approach them first personally; therefore, it is essential that you call The Swinney Sells Team first before you start interviewing builders, so that you are given the representation that you deserve. Call The Swinney Sells Team at 406-442-3616 and let us help you start building your future in a new house to call home.
