Representation new construction
Hello, my spouse and I are looking into new constructions in the Orlando area. We’re first time home buyers and debating on whether to get a realtor or represent ourselves. Figured we could try to negotiate lot premiums, design incentives and closing cost incentives ourself.
Given FL dual agency laws and the recent NAR, what would this mean as far as commissions? Would we be able to pocket the buyer commission to remedy the final sales price or closing costs?
