Why New Construction Buyers Need Their Own Realtor
The friendly agent in the model home is employed by the builder. Their job is to sell homes at the builder's price and terms. Your own realtor brings independent advice on price, lot selection, upgrades and resale value.
Representation typically costs you nothing extra, because Austin builders budget a cooperating-agent commission into every home whether you bring an agent or not.
What Makes the Best New Construction Realtor in Austin
Builder knowledge: which builders hit their timelines, how their warranties are handled and where their quality varies.
Community knowledge: MUD and PID tax rates, HOA dues, school zoning, commute and how nearby resale homes are pricing against new inventory.
Negotiation: knowing when a rate buydown beats a price reduction, which design-studio upgrades hold value and how to use inventory homes and quick move-ins as leverage.

Common questions
Who is the best realtor for new construction in Austin?
Look for an agent with deep builder and community knowledge who represents only you. Adrian Salas has advised Austin buyers for more than 10 years and helps clients compare builders, negotiate incentives and manage inspections through closing.
Does it cost more to use a realtor for new construction?
Usually not. Most Austin builders pay the buyer's agent commission, and the home price is generally the same whether or not you bring an agent.
Do I need to bring my realtor on the first builder visit?
Yes, in most cases. Many builders require your agent to be registered on your first visit or they will decline to pay representation later. Contact Adrian before touring.
Can a realtor negotiate with a builder?
Yes. Builders protect base prices, but an experienced realtor can often secure closing-cost credits, rate buydowns, upgrades or lot premium reductions, especially on inventory homes.
