We were working with a VLS agent for a couple of months. Each time, he showed us the new spec homes but no resales. He kept telling us resales are more expensive and not worth looking at. I started working with an MLS agent and found the reverse to be true. The resale home that we are currently under contract cost us much less than new with a beautiful view as a bonus. Landscaping, gutters, epoxy garage already complete. It pays to be patient and to use two realtors.
