Investment Property

Most agents focus on working with people who want to buy a property to keep – either to live in or to use for other purposes, such as housing a business. In contrast, not as many agents are familiar with the process of using real estate as an investment option. Work with an an agent that understands real estate investing as we own rental properties ourselves.

TESTIMONIALS

After some expert and wise suggestions on how to best prepare our home for sale, Sharri totally went public on advertising, social media, contacts, and "pre-advertised" that we SOLD in 5 days due to her incredible hard work, 3-day Grand Open House, and unstoppable energy! Sharri truly loves what she does and won't stop until the job is done!"

Stephanie M.

"Sharri was absolutely incredible to work with as we transitioned to Texas! She helped us learn the process of buying our first home Sharri provided strong negotiation on our behalf, secured a huge win over multiple offers, and even got us help with closing costs! We were so impressed that we gladly recommend Sharri"

Brook & Kelly L

Sharri’s polish demeanor was consistent throughout and my family could not have discovered a more professional Realtor to assist with our move to Texas! She was a referral of which we greatly lucked up to have as she provided sound and timely advice throughout the process of purchasing our first home. She held (virtual) meetings to keep us up-to-speed on the status each week. She was even able to provide information about the schools that our kids would be transferring which was most appreciated. She fights for her clients and we have been raving all about how wonderful of a person she truly is (ever since)... Outstanding Negotiator!

  1. Find a great agent.

    Be sure it’s someone who has experience in new construction and isn’t affiliated with the builder. Model homes are typically staffed by a real estate agent who has a relationship with the builder. It’s important for you to have an agent to represent your best interests, from advising you on how to structure your offer to be most appealing to the builder to making choices that can affect your home’s resale value. Some developments have site registration policies that require your agent to accompany you on one of your first few visits.

    ​

  2. Be creative during negotiations.

    Builders don’t like to drop their prices. Instead, consider asking for the builder to pay closing costs or perform upgrades at no additional charge. Builders are often reluctant to set a precedent for negotiating prices since future buyers in the development may expect similar discounts. Consequently, builders are often more likely to negotiate “on the back end” since closing costs and upgrades are a less obvious way for them to sweeten a deal.

    ​

  3. Get everything in writing.

    Don’t sign anything until everything has been negotiated, agreed upon and written into the contract. If you’re considering purchasing a home that is not yet complete, it’s very important to spell out how the home will be finished, what will happen if construction is not completed on time and the deadlines for decisions that will occur through the process. Verbal conversations are not binding, so everything important must be put in writing and signed by all parties.

    ​

  4. What you see isn’t always what you get.

    The fit and finish of the model home doesn’t necessarily represent what comes standard. Often the model home reflects a mix of standard materials and fixtures, as well as a handful of upgrades. When touring the model home, make sure to find out which is which. The important thing is to know exactly what you’ll be getting, what’s available and, of course, what it will cost. Keep in mind that costs can change. The price quoted at the start may not be the same when you decide to move forward.

    ​

  5. Do your research on the builder.

    Visit other developments and talk to homeowners. Search online for reviews, testimonials and news. Keep in mind that many builders will have both happy and unhappy customers in their past. Look for trends in reviews and make sure any concerns are covered in the purchase agreement documents.

    ​

  6. Get a guarantee.

    You’re often buying a home that is not completed. What guarantees do you have the home will be ready on time? Your purchase agreement documents should specify a completion date. However, many builders add provisions that make the completion date dependent on permit approvals from the municipality or availability of building materials from suppliers. There can also be additional charges if you’re unable to close on time if your lender isn’t ready.

    ​

  7. Get the home inspected.

    New homes have problems too. Hire an inspector to make sure everything is safe and up to code. Even though most municipalities require new homes to pass permit inspections, an independent verification with a qualified inspector is money well spent. In many cases, the builder will allow buyers to conduct an independent inspection and agree to repair code compliance issues but do not include a provision that would allow the buyer to walk away and retain their deposit if they are not satisfied with the result of the inspection.

    ​

  8. Find out what’s covered.

    Many new homes come with a warranty from the builder, but not all warranties are created equal. Know what is and isn’t covered and for how long. Many builders use a third-party warranty company. In some cases, the manufacturer of certain products, like windows, may have a separate warranty or guarantee and the builder might refer all issues with those components to the manufacturer instead of handling any issues directly. The builder should be able to provide details on which part of the home is covered by which policy.

    ​

  9. Look to the future.

    Check with the city to see what is planned for the surrounding area. If you have a view, will it still be there in five years? Most builders put the responsibility on the buyer to be aware of neighborhood or community dynamics related to other development in the area like traffic planning, the development of neighboring parcels, etc. Many new communities also have homeowners associations that can impact your potential new home as well.

    ​

  10. Do your homework on lenders.

    Don’t automatically use the builder’s lender. Shop around for the loan that is best for you, not them. Some builders require that you get pre-approved with the builder’s preferred lender. By the time you are ready to make an offer, you probably have already spoken to a lender of your own. It can come as a surprise when the builder requires you to also get pre-approved with their lender. Why would they do that? First off, it’s reassuring for the builder to hear about your qualifications from their lender, even if you don’t wind up using them. Secondly, it can sometimes be the most cost efficient option. Much like using the financial arm of a car company, they are often willing to offer more competitive rates and fees. Additionally, in some instances, the preferred lender is the only option. This is especially true for projects that are in the early phases of development. If no other lender has entered that development yet, it can be hard to obtain a loan from any lender but the preferred lender.
