WHY YOU NEED AN AGENT WHEN BUYING OR BUILDING A NEW HOME

Builders are hungry and that means great savings for you! With many builders discounting new homes and offering incentives to buyers, now could be a perfect opportunity to buy a BRAND NEW HOME.

Unfortunately, many new home buyers may not know what the house next door sold for or what may have been included in the final sale price. Here is where you NEED to be professioanlly represented by a qualified Realtor who has a good working relationship with the builders in the area and who keeps track of the new neighborhoods' sales.

Cost to You
Nothing! Any compensation given to us is recognized by the builder as a marketing fee and has no impact on the final cost of the home. In fact, most builders do not even see the referral fee (commission) agreement until AFTER all negotiations have been completed. Builders desire, expect and encourage us to show their homes to our clients.

Savings to You
Are you getting what you're entitled to have ... both in quality and value? The Thomas and Drake Group knows what you should receive and what "extras" might be available.
Since we have already representated so many of our clients at so many of the new home developments in the Desert, we have learned (from both past transactions as well as from the relationships we maintain with the on-site sales teams) just how much we can help negotiate in to your new home! Overall price discounts, interest rate buy-downs, floor coverings, countertops, window coverings, ceiling fans, patios, decks, pools and spas, landscaping, even appliances and furninshings can often be negotiated into your purchase if you know how to ask and from whom!.

Resale...Appreciation & Profit
Give your investment the best opportunity for appreciation at resale. Questions concerning site location, builder, design and decor are important. We know you are building not only for today ... but for tomorrow.

You Are Represented
With The Thomas and Drake Group, YOU are represented! Our experience, knowledge, and reputation represents strength and leverage on your behalf. Several builders in the Coachella Valley now see us with a client and simply say "OK, tell us your final deal will be" because they KNOW we work hard and help to negotiate the best possible deal for our buyers and then KEEP working hard for our clients up to and beyond the day they get their keys!

Why Us?
The Thomas and Drake Group has a very strong working relationship with most of the New Home builders throughout the Coachella Valley and we even maintain a library of brochures from many of them. We have represented clients with these builders and are recognized for our professionalism and significant follow-up throughout the process.

We make sure that you are kept informed of what to expect from your first visit to the property until the day escrow closes and beyond. We will guide you through the process and keep you up-to-date on your transaction and we will gladly coordinate any third-party inspections you may need, take photographs of your new home as it is being finished - something our out of town clients find especially beneficial.

Contact Us
We will be happy to help you in your new home search!
