I know itās tempting to stop by the model home on a Sunday afternoon ājust to look.ā
But that casual visit can turn into a sales conversation fast.
The builderās representative works for the builder, not for you. Their job is to sell the home and protect the builderās interests.
And new doesnāt automatically mean problem-free.
Even major builders have faced homeowner claims involving foundation issues, leaks, roofing problems, mold, and poor workmanship. That shiny new home can still have problems hiding behind the fresh paint and pretty finishes, and some issues may not show up until months or even years later.
You still need someone looking out for your side.
That means reviewing the contract, asking the right questions, helping you understand what youāre actually agreeing to, and yes, making sure you get inspections.
New construction is still construction.
Before you visit that model home, call your agent first. Bring someone whose job is to represent YOU, not the builder.
Thinking about a brand new home in the Savannah area? Message me before you visit the model home.
