</H2>
       <P><STRONG>I am routinely asked whether a buyer really needs an agent when purchasing from a builder</STRONG>.  In a word, "<STRONG>YES</STRONG>!"  Purchasing directly from a builder, with no representation, is the same as purchasing directly from the listing agent on a resale transaction.  Actually, it is fraught with even more peril as the contracts utilized by builders are slanted heavily in their favor.  <IMG width="200" height="279" align="right" alt="balance" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/0/6/2/8/ar119110391682601.jpg" title="balance" /></P><P><STRONG>The salesperson who greets you with a thousand watt smile is not your friend.</STRONG>  While he or she might be as friendly and helpful as they come, their allegiance is to the builder's best interest.  <STRONG>They are licensed agents whose job is to separate you from as much of your money as possible</STRONG>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E3DEEABC-5764-48D0-9013-43B6DC7E6E92/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
