Do I Need an Agent to Buy a New Home In Charleston SC ?
Yes, buyers should be aware of the differences inherent in working with sales agents who are employed by the developer, rather than traditional real estate agents. Sales agents at new home sites are agents for the builder--they represent the best interests of the builder. In SC, you are entitled to have your own real estate agent represent you, and best of all, it is free.
However, Charleston SC area builders commonly require that an outside agent be present, and sign in, the first time a prospective purchaser visits a site before payment of commission even is discussed. At times when buyers use an advertisement to find the development themselves first, builders can refuse to pay any commission regardless of how helpful an agent may become later in the process. It is advisable to contact an agent to represent you first before visiting a new home site.
