Buyer representation

Your Own Agent at the Builder's Sales Center

The builder's sales team represents the builder. KBRE represents you, from your first model tour to the final walk-through. The builder typically pays our commission.

What we do for you

Representation at every stage of the build

BEFORE

Compare & shortlist

We compare communities, builders, lot premiums, CDD and HOA fees and incentives, and price your options on a total monthly basis.

DURING

Negotiate & review

We negotiate incentives, credits and options, review the builder’s contract with you, and help you choose structural options with resale in mind.

AFTER

Build & close

We track construction, coordinate independent inspections, attend the walk-through and follow up on the punch list through closing.

The first-visit rule

Most builders require your agent to accompany you, or register you, on your first visit to the sales center. If you’ve already signed in on your own, many builders won’t recognize an agent added later. Before you stop by a model, even “just to look,” call or text us at (239) 299-7921 and we’ll handle registration.

How we’re paid

The builder typically pays our commission. On most new construction purchases, the builder pays the buyer’s agent commission at closing.

If a builder does not pay a commission, our compensation is outlined in our written buyer agreement. You’ll review and sign that agreement before we tour homes together, so you’ll know exactly how we’re paid, in every community, before you commit to anything. Compensation is negotiable.

Builders generally set their prices independently of whether a buyer has an agent. If you’re ever unsure, ask the builder in writing whether an unrepresented buyer would pay less.
