The benefits of using Team Donovan when purchasing a New Construction Home...

Regardless of whether you are buying a new or previously owned home we believe that you need the guidance and expertise of a licensed real estate agent to help you navigate all of the hurdles associated with making an educated property purchase in Florida.
If buying a new home a common myth that many homebuyers believe is that a builder will discount the price of a home if a buyer does not have a realtor. Not so. Most buyers think that hiring a realtor will cost them money, but in reality, these services are not add ons to the price of your new home as the cost has already been built in.

Let us explain...

We at Team Donovan are paid through the builder's fees, usually under a completely different marketing budget. With new construction, the builder has already anticipated this cost. If you do not use Team Donovan, this is bonus money from the marketing budget in the builder's pocket and not discounts that could put money in your pocket.

If you think about it, you're paying for the guidance and assistance of a realtor whether you use one or not. So why not reap the benefits of having Team Donovan be your advocate every step of the way? Also, consider that not using a licensed realtor could cost you much more in the long run.

Another misconception about new home purchases is that buying directly from the builder will be problem free. Instead, the buyer may be mired in paperwork they do not understand. Team Donovan is here to assit in walking you through the purchase steps.

What Do we do?

When you work with Team Donovan, you can count on us to:

• Decipher builder's jargon, contract language, and even help show you see how your option choices can add value to your home.

• Help you choose the best possible lot. The builder is committed to develop every parcel of land it owns in order to make a return on its investment. This may mean trying to market to a buyer a lot that may not be suitable for their needs or one that is difficult to resell. We are here to help you avoid that costly pitfall.

• Walk with you through the show home and make recommendations for choosing the right lot, layout, and size that will be the best fit for your needs.

• Be the best sounding board a buyer can have while going through the home building process.

We will also...

• Send you photographs of your new home throughout the build process to help you stay in touch with the build progression of your new home.

• Attend all the needed walk through stages, including pre-dry wall, to assure your options have been added to the plans and are located in the correct areas.

• Attend the final walk through with you to inspect for any build errors. We have executed hundreds of walk throughs and know what to look for.

• Advise you during the initial contract offer to ensure you're getting the best possible deal on your new home.

We are a team of trained specialists with years of experience in helping buyers through the ENTIRE home building process in Central Florida.

Do not rely on the sales agent at the model home to represent your needs...

Another common myth buyers tend to believe is that the sales agent at the model home works for the buyer. Although they may be warm and friendly, the sales agent you meet when touring a model home works for the builder, not the buyer. They represent the homebuilder's interests, not yours. Their job is to obtain the most profit on the houses they sell not to get you the best deal.
Team Donovan will always have YOUR interests at heart. It is always Team Donovan's top priority to ensure that you obtain the best possible deal.

Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $200,000. If you had a $200,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $200,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney?

Bottom line, when a homebuyer has Team Donovan on their side we aim to make the purchasing of a new home as seamless and stress free an experience as possible. Do not go through this alone. Together we will make sure that your new home buying experience is as pleasant and enjoyable as possible.
