a few tips fo you...as a friendly experienced buyer...
USE A REALTOR and use common sense to select one; especially when buying a home and even a new home. Sellers pay Realtor commissions and although the theory might be that the home can be obtained for less without a realtor, the fact is that buyers who do not use Realtors are doing the seller a financial favor. Realtors are responsible to know the areas they tour and can save buyers a lot of problems. We've had great results with Coldwell Banker. They have a great referral network and an impressive concierge system. Of course other Realtors have excellent track records too.
Demand a great deal from your Realtor and do not hesitate to look at new homes without them. At the same time, be faithful to a Realtor that is doing a good job. The home we selected here in Florida was greatly influenced by literally dozens of homes our Realtor showed us, but the Realtor did not happen to be with us when we first looked in Osprey Lakes. When we submitted our offer, we made it clear that our offer was pending their willingness to work with our Realtor, Respectable builders always work with your Realtor.
DO NOT HESITATE TO FIRE YOUR REALTOR if they are not doing their job. When you sign on with a Realtor, make sure you have rights to cancel the contract under non-performance circumstances. Reputable Realtors will not want to continue a relationship with buyers or sellers that are not happy with them.
Make sure your mortgage terms include a float down opportunity prior to closing. Get this in writing and make sure it reads that way. Do not let the mortgage company tell you that something means something other than what the paperwork states.
Many mortgage companies add a great number of "junk" fees to their closing costs. Have your Realtor examine the fees and negotiate inappropriate ones to be removed from the terms.
your best bet is to go to an auction bank repos is the best deal
They're just as good as any other realtor
