For over five years Brian Patrick worked as a New Home Consultant for Lennar Homes' Fort Worth Division.  During this time, he was assigned to three different communities: Tanglewood in Mansfield, Chapel Hill in Highland Village and Enchanted Bay in Arlington.  He was the leading salesperson in every community where he worked.

With a thorough understanding of Lennar's production processes and sales procedures, Brian is well equipped to represent his real estate clients purchasing homes from Lennar.  He also understands the business cycles that place pressure on the sales and management people to produce sales...and can convert this knowledge into thousands of dollars of savings for the homebuyer.  Finally, Brian knows many of Lennar's new home consultants working in the Dallas and Fort Worth Divisions and  these relationships can lead to open discussions for the buyer's best deal.

Completed Homes-  When Lennar and other builders have inventory homes that are finished, there is pressure to sell the homes to release capital for additional production.  Lennar's managers often say that a builder will pay carrying costs of almost 2% of a home's value per month for a completed home ($3,000 per month on a $150,000 home, for example).   This urgency to sell a home is often concealed with a "poker face" by the on-site sales consultant.  A completed home could have thousands of undisclosed yet available incentives that a knowledgeable REALTOR can obtain for the homebuyer's benefit!

Buyer Incentives- The rule with Lennar and other homebuilders is that the more complete an inventory home is, the greater amounts of buyer incentives available.  Lennar has now begun requiring that the homebuyer use the builder's mortgage company in order to benefit from the incentives, but a certain transaction late in the month may deserve a waiver of this condition.

Realtor Bonuses- It may be possible to convert Realtor bonuses offered by Lennar and other builders into thousands of dollars in savings against closing costs...or outright price reductions.  Each transaction is unique, depending upon the completion stage of the home, community completion, and business cycles.  Any REALTOR bonuses will be disclosed to the homebuyer.

Avoiding Pitfalls With Homebuilders-  The home buying and building stages are designed to benefit Lennar's business processes first, and the homebuyer's interests second.  Lennar often discourages onsite progress inspections and prohibits the homebuyer from speaking with the actual builder of their home.  As your REALTOR Brian Patrick will serve as your advocate, and he has the hands-on experience to guide you through the entire process and protect your interest.  While he was with Lennar, Brian closed over 200 transactions and that gives him the experience to serve the homebuyer well.

Getting things done for clients-  There are many reasons that a homebuyer should use a REALTOR when purchasing a new home.  Isn't it a good idea to have someone working for you that has been on the other side at Lennar and knows it thoroughly?
