We are looking to sell and buy new construction. We wanted to sell via Redfin and were sent an agent, he seemed good but we only planned on using him to sell the house. Once I read up a lot about new construction I found it was better to be represented. I contacted him and told him we had found a community and gave him all the info I had. I had done quite a bit of research and had also reached out to the builder for additional info (central line where I didn’t give them my info, just inquired). I told him the main areas I needed help with were negotiating the lot premium and upgrades.
He made one trip out to talk to the property manager and another trip out with us to tour a home that was near completion in the neighborhood.
After that meeting, we haven’t heard anything from him, no follow up at all. I also mentioned during that meeting if he thought we could get anything off the price and his response wasn’t “we can try” it was just “I don’t think so” which just didn’t sit well with me. I know it is hard to negotiate with new builds but I feel like he’s trying more to convince us not to negotiate price with the builder than he is trying to bring the builder down or negotiate more upgrades for us. His reasoning is “they’re selling”.
Should I cut ties? If so, what’s the best way to do it? Also, will it look bad to the builder if we change representation or just decide to not have any?
