Buying from a builder? The sales agent in the model home works for the builder. I work for you, from the first tour and the builder's contract through upgrades, inspections and the final walkthrough.

Why bring your own agent
The builder has an agent. You should too.
I started in 1999 as an on-site sales agent and co-listing agent at Sonoma Villero in Kirkland, a 240-home community that sold out by 2002. I know how a builder's sales office works, which is why I'm useful on your side of the table.
- The builder's contract. New construction contracts are written for the builder. I walk you through deadlines, deposits, change orders and what happens if the schedule slips.
- Price and upgrades. I negotiate the price, upgrades and closing costs before you commit, when the builder has room to move.
- Choosing the lot and plan. Orientation, views, privacy and resale matter as much as the finishes.
- Inspections. I recommend an independent inspection before drywall and before closing, even on a brand-new home.
- The final walkthrough. We build a punch list together and make sure it's finished.
Under Washington law, we sign a buyer agency agreement to work together. The first consultation is free.

Questions
Common questions about buying new construction
Do I need my own agent if the builder has a sales agent?
The builder's sales agent represents the builder. Your own agent reviews the builder's contract, negotiates price and upgrades, and looks after your interests through inspections and the final walkthrough.
Does it cost more to bring my own agent?
In most new construction sales, the builder pays a commission to the buyer's agent, but terms vary by builder and are set in your buyer agency agreement. I'll go over it with you before you sign anything. The first consultation is free.
Should I bring you to my first visit?
Yes, if you can. Many builders require your agent to be registered at your first visit, so call me before you tour.
Can you get me in before a home is listed?
Sometimes. Through my builder relationships I share pre-market opportunities when available. They're never guaranteed.
Do you work with builders other than Ben Casady?
Yes. I help buyers with any builder's homes on the Eastside, including Murray Franklyn Homes and the Realogics Sotheby's developments above.
