How Amy helps
Amy Herrera, REALTOR®, RE/MAX Elite
Amy habla español.
In many new-home purchases the builder pays the buyer's agent. Your written buyer agreement states Amy's services, how she is paid and by whom. Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable.
Tell Amy which communities
Start with this one, or list a few. Amy compares prices, taxes, HOA dues and incentives side by side.
Sign a buyer agreement, then Amy registers you
Texas requires a written buyer agreement before you tour. Many builders only work with a buyer's agent who registers you before your first visit to the sales office, so Amy registers you first.
Tour with Amy, or on your own
Visit with Amy, or go yourself with your registration on file. Amy negotiates, walks you through the builder's contract and coordinates an independent inspection.
