Do You Really Need a Realtor When Buying New Construction in Brevard County?

But here’s the truth: even with new homes, buyers need representation.
And that’s where we come in.

At the Veltri Group of Brevard, we’re a sibling Realtor team with deep local roots and decades of experience helping families buy, build, and settle into new homes across the Space Coast. We’ve walked this journey with countless clients—and we’re here to walk it with you, too.

🛠️ Why You Still Need a Realtor for New Construction

New construction is booming in Brevard County—from Palm Bay and Viera to Titusville and Sebastian. But with so many communities and builders to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—or worse, to assume that the builder’s sales rep is there to help you.

Let’s be clear:
Builder reps represent the builder.
They are friendly, helpful, and informative—but at the end of the day, their job is to protect the builder’s interests.

Realtors represent YOU.
When you work with us, you have someone solely focused on your needs—your budget, your timeline, your priorities—and it costs you nothing.
Yes, really: buyers do not save money by skipping a Realtor.

Builders already include compensation for buyer agents in their marketing budgets.
If you choose to go it alone, that money doesn’t come back to you. You just go unrepresented—and that can cost you in ways you don’t expect.

In fact, most builders welcome and expect buyer agent representation. They know the process goes smoother, expectations are clearer, and the buyer has better support.

❗ A Critical Mistake Most Buyers Don’t Know About

If you walk into a model home or builder sales office and sign in without listing your Realtor’s name, you may lose the right to have representation.

Once you register without us, we’re locked out of the transaction. You can’t add us later.
This is something builders should disclose—but many don’t.
They’re supposed to ask, “Are you working with a Realtor?”
But sadly, some skip that question. And if you don’t know to speak up, it can cost you more than just peace of mind.

🎙️ Hear It From a Builder Rep Himself

In our interview with DR Horton sales specialist Matt Swist, we talk about the builder-agent relationship—and why it matters so much for buyers.

Matt shares exactly how Realtors help buyers through the construction process, manage expectations, and support the builder team by keeping communication clear and timelines on track.

He also confirms what we’ve seen time and time again:
Buyers with agents have a better experience—period.

🔍 Local Expertise That Saves You Time and Money

We’ve worked with major builders like DR Horton, KB Homes, Adams Homes, Lennar, and Viera Builders. Every builder—and every contract—is different. We help you:

• Evaluate floor plans and community amenities

• Secure builder incentives (closing cost help, appliance packages, upgrades)

• Avoid hidden fees or rushed timelines

• Understand HOA/CDD obligations

• Navigate presale vs. quick move-in options

We know what’s a good deal—and what’s just good marketing. And because we know Brevard inside and out, we can match your wishlist to the right area and builder faster, so you’re not wasting weekends in the wrong neighborhoods.

🧱 New Homes Still Need Oversight

Yes, even new homes need a watchful eye. While builders aim to deliver a finished product, no build is ever perfect.

We attend inspections, guide walkthroughs, and flag potential issues before they become problems. That means more peace of mind for you—and a smoother handoff into your new home.

📝 Builder Contracts Are Not Buyer-Friendly

Builder contracts are written to protect the builder—not you. But we know what to look for:

• What’s non-refundable

• Deadlines for selections or financing

• Closing cost fine print

• Warranty language

• Lot size clarifications

• HOA/CDD disclosures

With us by your side, you’ll never be caught off guard.
