We Know New Construction

If you’re considering new construction, you may think you don’t need an agent. After all, those sales agents in the model home are so nice and very helpful. Unfortunately, they are trying to meet their monthly sales goal. They work for the builder, not buyers. If you're looking for a new-construction home, take your agent. Right from the very first visit. 
 
Why? A good realtor will know which finishes add value and which ones aren't worth the cost. She'll know a good lot from a bad lot even if it isn't obvious to you. Why is that important? Once you've signed the contract, you're unlikely to be allowed to make any changes. 
Financing for a new-construction home is different than applying for a standard mortgage. Your agent will be able to walk you through the process. She will also tell you if the incentives the builder is offering to use their lender are better or worse than going with a different lender. 
You may think that since the home is brand new, an inspection is unnecessary. That isn't true. Inspections performed during the building process are not the same. Your agent can tell you what a new-construction home inspection costs and can provide you with a new-construction home checklist. That way you'll have peace of mind when you finally move into your new home.
Common pitfalls that tend to trip up unrepresented buyers. 
 
- Overpaying for the home and the upgrades
- Selecting a bad lot
- Choosing a bad location/neighborhood
- Signing a shady contract
- Letting emotions take over
- Blowing their purchasing budget

Joy Bowman
Over a career in North Atlanta spanning more than 2 decades, Joy has worked with everyone from first-time homebuyers to million-dollar-plus buyers. In that time, she’s seen just about everything you can imagine. (Ask her about the snake . . .) At this point, nothing ruffles her feathers. Clients appreciate her unflappable nature, especially when deals get dicey. It keeps them coming back to her again and again. And, they trust her enough to refer her to their friends, family, and coworkers, the absolute gold standard for any agent.

Joy is originally from Wilson, North Carolina and a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill. She moved to the Atlanta area in the early 90s. Joy started out as a 7th and 8th grade math teacher. However, as a single mother of two young children, she wanted a profession with more flexibility. A realtor friend gave her a shot and it was love at first sight. Turned out the hours weren’t as flexible as she thought they would be, but the excitement of meeting new people and the always-changing nature of the business was irresistible.

Joy joined our Home with Sherry Team in 2010. She and her husband Paul make their home in Alpharetta. And, while her passion for real estate remains strong, Joy looks forward to someday retiring to the beach.
