If you're thinking of buying a new construction in your next home, you probably already know that every new home development will have its own sales staff. These people are often friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the newly built home. However, these folks work to sell this property only. The on-site staff of a builder knows the property as-well-as or better than anyone around and they are there to assist you but they work for the builder.
When in the market for a newly built home, it's a good idea to employ your own advocate, an agent who does not work for the builder, to look out for your interests. We don't work for the builder ... we work for you. Our agents know the entire area, not just one property. We know the pitfalls and benefits of buying new, and best of all it won't cost you one dime more than if you use the onsite staff. You have a right to representation:exercise that right today!
Mount Vernon is a neighborhood that is quiet and peaceful with many trees and several waterways. One of the reasons Mount Vernon is so quiet is because there is very little commercial real estate in Mount Vernon. That doesn't mean that Mount Vernon is far from everything. In fact, Rt. 1 (Richmond Hwy) is full of warehouse stores and restaurants like Target and Walmart and Bed Bath and Beyond and Chili's and so on. Here are the grocery stores closest to the Mount Vernon Mansion.
