Note to buyers: when buying a new home or condominium you are allowed to have your own buyer agent/broker to work on your behalf. However, your agent must accompany you to your first visit to the site. If you go alone (even if you’re just looking) you’ll be on your own working with the builder’s representative who must work in the builder’s best interest. A buyer agent will work on your behalf and help save you time, money, and stress.
