What about new homes and new subdivisions?

Yes, we represent Buyers in the purchase and construction of New Homes, as well.  We include new homes and new subdivisions in our showings of homes throughout the Metropolitan Indianapolis Area. Unlike some areas of the country where builders do not cooperate with realtors, in the Indianapolis Marketplace, builders seek our assistance since we sell over 50% of their product.  Many times incentives are offered to realtors for their buyers.

The site salesperson represents the builder, so a Buyer needs to have their interests represented by a Realtor!

The policy in Indiana is to have the realtor present when viewing the new homes.  In order to have Buyer representation, you must not register with the builder without also registering your agent.  Otherwise, it may be very difficult for us to represent you with that builder.  If asked to fill out a registration form, state that you are working with a realtor and will return with that realtor, if interested in that subdivision.
