I have been selling residential real estate since 1998 and I have lived in Silicon Valley all of my life and know the areas well. I have worked for new home builders and sold over 100 new construction homes in Silicon Valley New home construction usually has a purchase contract that is specific to the builder and it can be a very complex and detailed contract. That is why I suggest you hire an experienced Real Estate Agent who has experience with builders and new home sales contracts. Most people don't realize that the Builder usually will pay the Buyer's Agent to represent the Buyer on their real estate Purchase. The Agent is usually required to attend the first visit and sign in as the Buyer's Agent or register their client online. Experience matters, my experience with new homes sales and knowledge of what to look for in the contract to assure a smooth transaction is very beneficial to your purchase. Coordinating the sale of your new home with the timeline of the new construction and purchase contract can also be challenging. I have a financing option where you don't have to sell your home prior to buying the new home. Reach out to me for more info on your new home purchase and make sure you are represented on your real estate purchase transaction to assure a successful outcome.
