Buying A New Home In Chandler AZ? Here Are 10 Reasons Using A Real Estate Agent Can Save You $$$

10 Reasons Why You Should Use A Real Estate Agent To Buy Your New Chandler Home


Did you know that most of the homes that you pass by everyday in Chandler AZ and Gilbert AZ are spec homes?  Happy Mom’s, Dad’s, newlyweds and children combine to form growing number of thriving neighborhoods full of homes that were built on speculation.


A spec home is a new home that is built based on the construction companies growing knowledge of what past new home buyers liked and disliked and by using that feedback they create a ‘package’ of homes that potential buyers will find attractive.

For example, KB Homes and Meritage Homes are building many new homes in Chandler AZ. KB Homes is building Fire Rock Ranch and Meritage Homes is building Santa Maria. These are new home developments being built on speculation.

In a spec home you will get your say in things like colors, floor plan options and cabinet styles but by limiting the number of overall options, they can keep costs at a minimum.  This means you can buy a luxurious new home in Chandler AZ at an affordable price.  

For example: If you were to buy Fire Rock Ranch Real Estate or Santa Maria Real Estate...


... You would be getting a similar style and value of past customized homes that new families have given rave reviews about at the speculation price.  This can get you a home that would of cost you in the high $300,000’s at a price in the $200,000’s.  


Spec homes are the best value in real estate, as an investment property and  as an investment in your’s and your families future.


So you are interested in a new home in Chandler AZ and see the great opportunity in a spec home, right? Now what is the best way to find the right area and price for you and your family?


Using a Chandler Real Estate Agent to buy your spec home is your best option and here are 10 reasons why…



1.  Consulting with a buyer’s agent does not cost you a penny and the information you get could save you $10,000’s in your overall cost when you buy your new home in Chandler AZ.


2.  A qualified Chandler real estate agent will help navigate you through the process and will always keep your best interests in mind.  


3.  Developing a relationship with a real estate agent or agency will undoubtedly save you lots of time and money in the short term as well as in the long run in your real estate investment.  


4.  An agent is uniquely qualified to handle the often tough negotiations and complicated paperwork involved.  


5.  The builder pays the commission to the agent, not you (it’s already figured into their marketing budget) so it doesn’t cost you anything--even when you do buy.


6.  When you are buying a new home and dealing with the ‘listing agent’, they are not representing your best interests, but representing the builder’s.  You want a buyer’s agent to help you get the best deal when negotiating with the ‘listing agent’.


7.  A real estate agent can give you ideas of what selections you should or shouldn’t make for resale value since they will have a thorough knowledge of what does and doesn’t resell well.


8.  A real estate agent will do their best to show you all your best options, including options you may never have been aware of had you not had their representation.  


9.  When you find the agent that you can trust, they become your advocate and your friend.  Their duties are to listen to your needs and match them with existing options, keeping your personal information confidential--including motivation and budget and being loyal to your desires every step of the way.  


10.  Most of all, you want your purchase to consist as little headaches and hassle as possible and believe me when you deal with the builders; affiliate lenders, title companies, insurance companies and you don’t fully understand the industry lingo and trends, you can get blinded by the “smoke and mirrors”.  Having an agent will keep your mirror fog free and a clear path to your new home purchase will be a fast and money saving experience.
