Should I use my own agent when buying new construction?

Independent representation protects a buyer's interests in a new construction purchase, since the sales representative staffing a builder's model home works for the builder and negotiates on the builder's behalf, not the buyer's. A buyer's own agent reviews the builder's contract, flags terms written to favor the builder, and can negotiate upgrades or closing cost credits a buyer might not think to ask for. Joel Boss represents buyers on new construction deals across his North Metro Atlanta towns, working alongside the builder's sales team rather than instead of them.
