Builder Representation

One of the most important decisions new construction buyers make is whether to use their own buyer agent. Builder sales agents represent the builder - not you. Oasis Realty Group provide buyer representation at no cost to you (the builder pays) and negotiate on your behalf for upgrades, closing costs, lot premiums, and contract terms. Never walk into a new construction sales office without your agent.

New construction builders in Rowan County typically offer their strongest incentives at quarter-end and year-end, and on quick-move-in inventory that has been sitting. Understanding builder motivation and inventory age is a significant negotiating advantage. Oasis Realty Group track every active community and know which builders are motivated.

What to Inspect
