Do not register online or visit a model home without mentioning your buyer’s agent.
Here’s why this matters:
• My fee is paid by the builder when I’m listed as your agent from the start
• There is no added cost to you — pricing stays the same
• If you register without an agent, the builder may refuse to pay for representation
• The on-site sales representative works for the builder, not for you
Bottom line: Call me first before visiting or registering. That way, you have professional representation from start to finish — and the builder pays for it.
