Kaori I wanted to say your videos have been fantastic. However this one is an absolute gem for my situation! My wife and I ran into many pain points as first time buyers here in Henderson. Currently we are building here in Henderson (almost completed) and the stress on many of these points we weren't aware about would have drastically helped us. We had ZERO clue about representation like yourself when walking into the Beazer office excited. Hats off for taking the time to make this video for everyone.

[@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate]

Thank you SHAUN so much for your feedback. Congratulations on your new build. I am 100% sure that this won't be your forever home so let's stay in touch and I will be happy to assist for resale/purchase new builds in the future. Thank you for watching and engaging with me! Means a lot!

Hi we are looking around the Myrtle Beach area. I’m retired and my wife will be retiring June of 2025. We are selling our present home to my daughter and we have family in S C so really no pressure on timing on a new construction home. My biggest problem and fear is finding a good realtor and a good home inspector. I think I’ll spend more time looking for competent people than actually finding a home …

You've come to the right video! I've broken down everything you need to know before signing a new home contract whether it's spec or a build. Spec homes will have faster delivery time and more incentives to negotiate.

Thank you for the great information. Currently looking to buy my first home in a different state but at what point should you negotiate incentives, upgrades etc. Should that be prior to signing the purchase contract or will that be later as the price will continue to change based on Design Center etc. I have selected my Structural Upgrades, Lot Premium and floor plan already and will be signing near term. When is the best time to negotiate, pre contract signing or post once everything is finalized? The seller is offering currently $20k for closing and $25k in upgrades but I'd like to negotiate Lot Premium, appliances and additional Design Upgrades. Thank you Kaori!

[@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate]

You don’t need to lock the interest rate when you sign the purchase agreement… there are different rate lock options with the lender…

[@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate]

True, every builder and lender offers various options to choose from...

[@blueheart978]

Kaori, this video was great; Q: Can you breakdown at what point would one engage with the builder preferred lender and what are all the steps that have to be taken to sign the purchase agreement? I.e. is there a pre approval done by the lender first, then you find out the interest rate you qualify for, and then sign the purchase agreement and what role does the lender play? Thank you.

[@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate]

Yes happy to! You'd want to get the lender involved as soon as you have made a decision to move forward with this particular home & builder. Once pre-approved, you are able to get more info on lender incentives and negotiate! Ask about closing costs, interest rate buy down, and more. Then you will go through the estimates and the monthly payment breakdown. Rates are not locked in until you get closer to the closing date. Any more questions, email me at [e-mail] 📩 I actually just released a month by month timeline of the new construction process so check that out too!

Guide. You mention taking your realtor with you on first visit to sales office. I have to visit a model home before knowing if I like it. Online photos don't visually do it. So my realtor is going to want to visit numerous communities while I decide, instead of me deciding and then bring in my realtor?

The earnest moeny is quite high compared to resell, Does the lender ever help cover earnest monney? That is a large chunk of change to come up with esp out of pocket

[@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate]

I agree. It can be higher than some EMD for resale homes. That is why you need to hire a buyer's agent so that the agent can negotiate the EMD amount for you! I've negotiated EMD from $40K to $20K for a buyer before!

How does the contracts differ for new homes that are completed (spec home) vs being built?

[@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate]

A few differences - 1) Timeline. Spec homes have faster closing. 2) Incentives. Builders will offer more incentives on spec homes. 3) Lender Incentives. Lenders will offer more incentives on spec homes.

[@blatherskyt]

sorry, not true... it can cost you tens of thousands to have a real estate agent. Baked into 99 percent of all sales contracts is a 3% fee to the real estate agent representing you (e.g. for bringing you to the home to be purchased) What happens when they find out you don't have a real estate agent? ... well, yesterday a home I'm looking at told me they would give that 3% to me. If I had had a real estate agent, that I don't need, then I would have lost out on those thousands of dollars of savings (potentially if I decide to buy) on a home that isn't negotiable in price. Prove me wrong.

[@KaoriLuxuryRealEstate]

You're getting representation so that the buyer's agent can negotiate on your behalf. I've saved my clients tens and thousands of dollars because they hired me to represent them on new builds.
