I believe my job as a buyer's representative is to educate the buyer
about the process of buying a home and their legal rights in the
Purchase and Sale agreement, I am a strong consumer advocate with a
proactive and detailed approach to buying a home and will point out the
positive and the negative to help you make an educated decision. In
addition, I will make my knowledge and experience selling homes
available to you and tailored to your specific needs so you will know
the best and least attractive features of a home that will impact its
future resale value.
I have over eight years of experience in the Real Estate market in
Georgia and has sold homes ranging from $90,000.00 to $1,000,000.00 all
over the Greater Atlanta area. I spent the first five years of my
career representing buyers and sellers, in many cases selling their
clients homes and representing them in the purchase of their new home.
Before joining Duffy Realty, I spent the last three years working as a
new home agent for a national and local builder where I learned the
builder's approach to building and selling homes and I offer that
experience and knowledge for the benefit of my clients. I earned my
broker's license in the state of Georgia and I am an associate broker with Duffy Realty. Because
of my strong beliefs in education, I have received accreditation for
over a dozen training seminars covering such topics as: Tax Advantages
of Home Ownership, How to Sell Foreclosure Homes by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), How to Price a Home to Sell & Certified Relocation Specialist, and many others. I am bilingual Spanish-English.
One more thing, the most important part of this process is to find the
home that fits you and your family lifestyle. When it is all said and
done, it is all about driving up to a place where you and your family
are proud to call home!

Tiffany,
You mentioned customizing in your question, something to consider when buying new construction directly from the builder is to think which options would be the ones to give you a higher return on your investment. What you customize/upgrade in the kitchen and the bathrooms will be a great investment in the future resale value, any structural option it is better to have the builder do it now versus you doing it later. In reference to loosing money buying a new townhome, I would not be worry about it, nevertheless if you have a Real Estate Agent to help you check the values in the area it would help you to determine if the price you will be paying is fair.
Also, know who will the complex attract now and in the future.. Are they all 3 Br 2 Bs or are they mostly one and two bedrooms. The location of the townhome itself is important, one is all built is your townhome in a desired spot?, will it be easy for parking and things like that. And finally get a survey, most people don't think about getting one, but you need to know for SURE if there are easements below your townhome, such as a sewer easement. The on-site sales agent represents the seller, not you.
Buying a home is exciting an if done correctly, historically a good investment.
