Questions buyers ask us

The questions we hear most from new-construction buyers, answered plainly.

The answers stay current through the same weekly refresh that updates the builder pages.

Do I need my own agent to buy new construction?

No. The builder’s representative will work directly with you without a Realtor. There are pros and cons to having your own representation, though, and you can read both sides here, along with what each path costs you at the design center and at closing.

Can you negotiate with a builder in Richmond in 2026?
