Buying a Phoenix New Build Home from a developer is an exciting process for many Canadian home buyers. However, you need to protect yourself with your own representation. The first thing to remember when buying a new build is that the sales person works for the builder and not you. No matter how friendly they are, they only have one product to sell and may not have your best interest in mind.
If you go to a sales office and they ask you to fill out a registration card. Do not do it. You are not required to fill out a registration card to see the model homes. If you register without your Realtor, your Realtor will not be allowed to represent you in the transaction process.
In any Arizona Real Estate transaction it is good to have your own representation. New home builders typically don’t belong to the National Association of Realtors and don’t work under the same ethics and guidelines. Contracts written for a new build are often written to protect the builder where as the Arizona Association of Realtors contracts are written to protect the buyer.
There are some advantages to buying a new build in Arizona. Many developers are hurting in this market so you can get some great deals and some builders have excellent warranties available. In addition to this, it is simply nice to live in a brand new home.

I was a real estate lawyer in Alberta before moving to Arizona to become a Realtor. I understand all of the differences between Canadian and Arizona real estate transactions. I explain those differences to my clients and can take you through the process of buying Arizona real estate step by step. Why use a less experienced Realtor?
