1. Working directly with builder saves you money because builder will be saving on paying commission(s)
2. It's customary, in this down market, to always offer 30% (or some %) less than asking price
3. You must hire an attorney to protect your interests
4. You don't need to do a home inspection on new construction
5. You need to buy Mortgage Insurance
6. Working directly with listing agent can save you money because seller won't have to pay other half of commission
7. Calling many listing agents oftentimes uncovers "secret" deals
8. You can save money by not buying Title Insurance
9. It's vitally important to research the assessed value of a home in order to determine market value
10. There's so much information on the Internet, you don't need a Realtor--and besides,
you'll save paying that high buyer's agent fee!
