New Home Construction in Johnson County Builders, Developers, Buyer Agency

Consider a new construction home! Finding the perfect home can be a challenge. You probably have a list of features that are very important to you, from energy optimization to that impressive kitchen or bathroom layout you’ve been dreaming of. Sometimes you have a long list, and finding all the features you want in one existing home is difficult to impossible. Building your own custom home from scratch can be the perfect solution. Your new construction home doesn’t have any surprises left over from former owners, and it’s just the way you want it. And, YES!, you need buyer representation in new construction!

First, you need to decide on the right subdivision. You’re going to be living there, after all, so you need a subdivision that’s right for you, as well as one that includes new construction. Not all of them do. A community expert like Ken Jansen can help you find the subdivision that will be most compatible with your needs and preferences.

Yes! You need a Designated Buyer’s Agent.

The agents sitting on the subdivisions are very nice people and quite friendly. Their goal is to get some interaction with you so you’ll have a positive experience at their subdivision and buy a home there. You have a right to have or choose not to have representation at any time. The question is generally who will pay for that representation? The homebuilders will compensate your buyer agent — on one condition.

Virtually all the new home builders with compensate your buyer agent as long as you don’t initiate contact with the builder, developer, or on-site sales staff, or scan the bar codes on the front door or garage offering more information. Not every builder is that strict, but the big national builders and or their regional subsidiaries are usually very strict. Once you interact in any way with their team, you are completely responsible for your representation.

Does this sound complicated and confusing? Well, new construction is complicated and confusing. That’s why you need a Realtor. A buyer’s agent works for you, not for the builder. Find a reputable buyer agent who is familiar with new construction and who can offer pragmatic advice.

Not just a Realtor — an ABR

You don’t need just any Realtor. You need an ABR: an Accredited Buyer’s Representative. The ABR designation from the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) is held only by agents with extra training on buyer agency agreements, contracts, and negotiations. Going with an ABR like Ken Jansen helps you to avoid confusion, misunderstandings, and buyer’s remorse.
