Summary: When buying in Grove Frisco, understanding the difference between a buyer’s agent and a builder sales rep is critical. This post explains why having your own REALTOR® protects your interests and saves you money.



Builder sales representatives are friendly and knowledgeable—but they are legally obligated to represent the builder’s interests.



If you want someone negotiating on your behalf, evaluating multiple builder offerings, and protecting your money, you need a licensed buyer’s agent.



Key Differences:

Key Responsibilities

Builder Rep

Builder

Sell homes, explain included features

Buyer’s Agent

You (the buyer)

Advise, negotiate, protect during entire process



Why Grove Buyers Should Use a REALTOR®:

  • Compares floorplans and pricing across builders like Toll Brothers, Britton, and Shaddock

  • Spots costly upgrades that won’t add resale value

  • Helps review HOA rules, PID fees, and lot premiums

  • Ensures inspections and builder milestones are completed correctly

  • Protects your deposit and negotiates better terms



Common Misconceptions:

  • “I’ll save money without an agent.” → The builder has already factored REALTOR® commissions into pricing. You’re not getting a discount—you’re just unrepresented.

  • “The rep seemed helpful enough.” → They can be, but they answer to the builder, not you. Their goal is to close the sale fast and with fewer negotiations.



“You wouldn’t walk into a courtroom without a lawyer—why walk into a builder contract without your own agent?”
