Why buyers bring an agent to the builder
The builder's sales rep works for the builder.
Your agent's fee is typically paid by the builder, not you.
Commission arrangements vary by builder and are disclosed in writing.
Register your agent on your very first visit, or you may lose representation.

What clients say
“When I first met Marisol I knew that she was with it! We were ready to purchase another home and then sell our current home. She did an amazing job handling both of those transactions. She made sure to find us the best deal for our new home and educating us through the process on which kind of homes overtime will build value. … Marisol is obsessed with excellent customer service, communication, and education throughout the process. My wife and I would recommend anyone to her if they needed a realtor.
