Touring new construction in Franklin or College Grove?

Touring new construction in Franklin or College Grove? Walk in prepared. What the builder's on-site agent won't tell you can cost you thousands. Here's what every buyer needs to know: 01 — The on-site agent works for the builder. Friendly doesn't mean on your side. Bring your own agent — it costs you nothing extra. 02 — The design center is a profit center. Upgrades are where builders make their highest margins. Know your limits before you walk in. 03 — New doesn't mean perfect. Builder inspections aren't the same as an independent buyer inspection. Always get your own. 04 — Builder contracts favor the builder. Every clause is written to protect them. Have your agent review before you sign anything. 05 — Incentives are negotiable. Rate buydowns, closing cost credits, free upgrades — in today's market, builders are dealing. Ask. The best time to have representation is before you fall in love with a floor plan.
