Sounds like your agent didn't do you any favors. I normally save my clients thousands on new builds. They must build way better houses in Vegas than they do in Dallas. I'll bet in most of the new homes I've sold here, there is thousands of $ worth of rework needed that a buyer without a great realtor would get suckered with as "standard" for the industry. When the client has a picky and demanding realtor that work gets redone....and most of the inspection callouts get fixed or discounted. Recently sold resale that was 2 years old. Now out of the main warranty. I can tell the seller didn't have a realtor when they bought it and didn't do an inspection and they got to do thousands worth of fixes to sell it to my buyer....and that is all stuff I would have had the builder fix if they would have been my client when they purchased.

well being a broker for 50 years I am still confused what this all means @James Wise when i started in the business in 75 I only sold land and I never did co op deals I sold my own listings.

as a builder currently half of our sales come from other agents.. My wife sells the others ( which is nice of course). So does this mean we have to remove the BAC ( other brokers commish) from the MLS.. ?? And hope that the buyers find us ?

Bruce I am going to brag a little.. WE had a home inspection yesterday on one of my new builds my wife attended along with her buyer so she is double ending it.. The client was there as well the whole time and he is in the industry Appliances sales. The Inspector could not find ONE defect or item for us to correct.. Said it was the best built home that he has ever inspected and felt bad charging the buyer the inspection fee . We usually get a few small items from the inspectors but its nothing like the production builds and I agree what I have seen in TX MS and other southern states.. Just sayin.

But still confused on this ruling.. I am in DC right now so will call the wife and ask her if her brokerage put out a memo today.

We have a pre inspection done, then list with a clean report as any minor item as been fixed. Buyers don’t have to worry about, faster closing and less drama.

I am trying to get some a gauge of the market. I am a investor/contractor looking at a simple 3/1.5 floor plan 1000 sq ft. We can do a new build and sell these for around the 90k price point. They would be located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. These would be located predominately on the central and south sides of town. I am wondering if enough investors see value in the extra price point for a new home that should be relatively maintenance free for 15 years or so.

@Casey Crotty is your unit registered with neighborhood code. If it is then neighborhood code has to notify you via mail of all issues. If it is not registered it is free to do so, it is a requirement not to mention just a great idea so you do get notified. While I understand your frustration I would be careful that the tenant can not construe that you filed eviction because they called neighborhood code. I would further recommend you talk to a lawyer before filing an eviction. Perry Law is a great resource of you need a local law firm they are some of the best in landlord-tenant issues.
