I will just look for my new home myself. This is so common. Have an experienced  buyer’s agent can allow you to find the right home and more importantly have your offer accepted. Who you hire matters so having a top buyer's agent can make the difference between owning your new home or losing it to another buyer. 3. If I am buying new construction, I’ll just go to the builder directly. That way I’ll save money. Again a big myth. The builder does not charge more or less if you have an agent or don’t. Why not have someone that will be on Your side instead of the builder. We can help you with selections, what extras make sense for your exit strategy and review of the process.
