Greenville South Carolina Real Estate-Tips for Buying a New Home
Tips for Buying a New Home in Greenville, SC
It seems that Greenville, South Carolina, is not immune to suburban expansion. New construction of single family homes can be found in just about every part of town. For some prospective buyers, only new will do and older homes hold no appeal. After all, what could be better than that smell of freshly painted walls and new carpet? Here are some guidelines for those interested in buying new construction:
- You need a buyer’s agent to represent YOU. Period. The agent that shows you a model represents the builder. Even though you hire your own agent, it is customary that the seller pay the buyer’s agent’s fees. Even if you end up footing the bill, having someone on your side for all the negotiations will be worth the money.
- Don’t assume that the lender referred to you by the builder is going to have your best interests at heart. Find your own lender and see if you can get better terms. Check with your own bank or credit union; they just might have the best terms out there.
- Hire a lawyer to review all paperwork before you sign it.
- Learn the difference between standard, optional and upgraded. You might love the model but is what you see what you get? If you decide to buy upgrades, makes sure that you are getting a fair price and get all prices in writing.
- Check your builder’s references. Try searching public records online and see if there has been any litigation involving the builder. Locate others who have purchased this builder’s homes…are they satisfied?
- Get a Home Inspector. Make sure he is licensed and you should be there for the walkthrough. All kinds of mistakes can be made during construction, and now is the time to find out, not after you have moved in.
- Check out the competition. There are many new communities in Greenville and the surrounding areas. Compare quality of construction, price per square foot, amenities, school districts, parks and nearby recreational facilities.
Enjoy your new home!
