As agents, we may be a bit biased, but we’ll say this: You don’t “need” an agent. You can certainly go it alone. Is it the right choice? Nope, not for most people and most situations. But you can, and you might be fine. But in our experience, many people regret it and wish they had hired their own agent — and they would have if only they were more informed from the beginning.

Which is why we created this booklet… to help you think through for yourself whether or not you should use an agent when buying new construction. We’ve included tips and insights about dealing with builders that will be useful to you no matter which way you decide to go — with an agent or without.

Whichever way you decide to go, we hope you find this booklet thoughtful and useful! If at any point you have any questions about anything within this booklet, or even about topics we don’t cover, like buying new construction, feel free to reach out to Anne directly.
