Do I need a Realtor when buying new construction in Riverview?

Yes. A builder representative works for the builder, while your Realtor helps you compare communities, incentives, timelines, contract terms, inspections, and long-term resale considerations.

Should I register my Realtor before visiting a builder?

Yes. Many builders require your agent to be registered early, often before or during the first visit, so it is best to connect before touring model homes.

Are builder incentives always the best deal?

Not always. Incentives can help, but they should be compared against price, rate, fees, closing costs, upgrades, and the total monthly payment.
