We plan to buy our first home in TV in the next couple of months. We understand that new homes can only be purchased directly from TV. Would you recommend having a TV agent to look at new houses, and a MLS agent to look at all pre-owned? Can a MLS agent show us a pre-owned home that is listed by TV? I am a bit reluctant to use TV realtor exclusively, knowing that their allegiance is to TV, rather than to us, as buyers. We notice that many new homes are shown at "discount" prices. Do those discounts fluctuate? Should we expect to see prices on new homes increase as we approach the busy winter season?
Also, most folks seem to say that they don't bother engaging their own attorney to represent them as buyers. I can't imagine signing a such an important contract, without the advice of an attorney. Any others agree or disagree?
