It is a misconception that you will get a better deal by not using a realtor to represent you in this type of purchase, or that they will reduce the price of the home more since they don't have to pay commissions. The builder's sales agents are paid to represent the builder, regardless of what they may tell you. Many will use high pressure tactics to persuade you to sign the contract. Due to the high volume nature of brand new home sales, lots of builder's agents are paid less than a traditional commission; some earn a salary plus incentives, so turnover is important to their livelihood. The PescatoreAvrit Team will represent YOU, be your fiduciary and are required to disclose the positives as well as the negatives about the transaction. Builder's agents don't discuss drawbacks. A large part of our business is new contruction, and we have a database of over 76 area builder representatives. If you're looking for new construction you have the right team!! To learn more tips on buying new contruction, and to research area builders visit the new construction section under the "For Buyers" section at the top of the page.    
First Time Buyers >The Seller May Pay
The costs of buying a home may be daunting. For example, you may have finally saved enough for a down payment on your first home, with a little left over to buy the furniture you will need. Then you hear about having to pay closing costs you weren't anticipating, and this may seem like a real setback.
One way to cover such a shortage is to make the sellers an offer that calls for them to credit you for some of the closing costs. As a rule, the sellers may pay a maximum of 3 percent of the sales price if the buyer is putting five percent down. If the buyer is making a down payment of 10 percent or more, the seller can contribute up to 6 percent of the sales price to cover the buyer's closing costs. Some items, such as prepaid taxes and the first month's mortgage payment, must be paid by the buyers. Sellers may also contribute to paying the appraisal, points, title insurance, settlement attorney fees, state or local transfer taxes and similar items.
Keep in mind that if the credit is included in the price of the house, the appraiser will have to justify the amount, based on sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood.
