Here are a few tips that can help you to protect yourself -- to make the process a pleasant experience.
Hire Your Own Agent
Regardless of what the builder tells you, the sales agents are paid to represent the builder. Many can use high pressure sale tactics to persuade you to sign the contract. Turnover and selling homes quickly is a benefit to the sales agent as they are paid on volume.
Hiring a Buyer's Agent to represent you, can save you thousands more than the commission paid by the builder to that agent. Your own agent will represent YOU. Builder's agents may not discuss drawbacks but your own agent will give you the positives and negatives as well as be your fiduciary and required to disclose.
If you must sell to buy, hire your own seller's agent to list your home. Buying before selling can weaken your negotiating position because you have emotionally moved out of your home.
Hire a Home Inspector
Always, always, always get a home inspection when you buy. And hire a licensed and accredited individual to perform the inspection -- not your dad or your buddy contractor, get a real inspector. Be there for the inspection and ask questions because a new home can contain defects. The HVAC system might be too small or the plumbing could be installed backwards. Construction workers make mistakes. (And let's not even talk about the mustard-stained McDonald's wrappers stuffed in wall cavities.)
If the inspector calls for further inspection by another professional contractor, find out if the inspector is telling you there could be a serious issue or if the inspector isn't licensed to address that issue.
