The Most Important Thing About New Construction
Working with a buyer's agent on new construction costs you nothing. The builder pays the commission. This is not a nuance. The builder's sales agent in the model home works for the builder. Their job is to sell you the house at the best price for the builder, with the fewest concessions. They have no incentive to negotiate upgrades or closing cost contributions on your behalf because that comes directly out of the builder's margin.
