The Poling Team Realtor® Services for New Construction Home Buyers
NOTE: It is important that you understand that Builders & Developers have agents on site who represent them and many times these representatives are not licensed real estate agents. Builder representatives by definition represent the seller or developer. As a real estate professional we recommend that every buyer have their own professional representation when purchasing any real estate property. In North Carolina, a real estate broker can work exclusively with the with the seller, exclusively with the buyer or for both parties in dual agency.
Contact us to obtain professional representation prior to visiting any new development. We provide a high level of courteous personalized service and expertise throughout the home buying process.
It is also important for you to know that in North Carolina the seller pays all the real estate fees. So our buyers agent representation is FREE, and it not only protects your best interests, but we can help to reduce the stress of the home buying and moving experience.
