Building A Home:
The Advantages of Working with Buyers Advantage Group Realty
Buying a home requires quite a bit of research. To choose the right home for your family, you'll want to explore Triangle area communities, amenities, home styles, floor plans, builders, and financing options. Some home buyers prefer to do all the legwork themselves. Others prefer to work with a knowledgeable Raleigh real estate agent. We at Buyers Advantage Group Realty have the experience to help with every step of the building process starting with finance and finishing with move-in day.
A Realtor can be helpful to a home buyer who is interested in a custom-built home if the Realtor understands the custom home building process and knows what differentiates one builder from the other. Knowledgeable Realtors should advise their clients about builders who are known for quality construction (what's behind the walls as well as what's visible in the finished home), good customer service, and attention to detail. A knowledgeable Realtor understands what's necessary to make the building process a success for everyone involved. Our experience and knowledge of construction practices have provided our clients with money savings, better quality homes, and helped to ensure on-time delivery of their new home. Our Exclusive Buyer Agents (EBA) will provide you with the right expectations and help you interpret your new home goals during the build process.
In the past, a Realtor represented only the seller. Things have changed. Exclusive Buyer Agents (EBA) only work with buyers, never list properties, have access to all listings and will always have the buyer's best interest in mind. A buyer's agent can access market conditions and educate consumers about the area in which they are interested. In addition, a buyer's agent can research and advise about issues that may impact the property and help negotiate the price. A dual agent may not be able to provide these vital services.
Buyer Advantage Group Realty Agents are the right agents to help you with building your home.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing an EBA Realtor:
- How many years of experience does the Realtor have?
- What is the Realtor’s specialization? (e.g., neighborhoods, homes in a certain price range, buyer agent, etc.)
- How knowledgeable is the Realtor about new-home construction?
- How many homes does the Realtor sell a year?
- Is the Realtor part of a Realtor team and, if so, what is the role the Realtor plays for the team?
- Is the Realtor in business full-time or part-time?
- Does the Realtor run his or her business in a professional manner?
- Do materials and printed information provided by the Realtor look professional and current?
- Is the Realtor willing to develop a home search game plan with you?
- What tools does the Realtor have to offer you to help you with building a new home?
- Is the Realtor an exclusive buyer agent who will work only for you?
Buyers Advantage Group Realty will help you with such tasks as:
- Identifying financing resources
- Determining your buying power
- Finding properties that are not actively advertised in the market

Realtors work at their own risk. You don't typically pay for any services up front and agents are paid when you close on the home. That means you and the seller have no out-of-pocket expenses. Therefore, it's in your agent's best interest to work quickly, diligently, and to use all available resources to help you meet your goals. An EBA Agent does not cost you any additional fees and are generally paid through the transaction as any other agent is paid. More information about commissions is available in the About Us section of our web site.
