The Founders Club offers on-site real estate services and those agents represent the sellers best interests. If you are looking for the best price on a Founders Club home, you will need the services of a non-affiliated real estate broker that will negotiate the best deal for you as well as work for your best interest, not the sellers.
Remember, the more a sellers agent sells a home for, the more they make. I want to get you the best deal so you decide to buy the property and use my services in the future. My negotiating skills have saved my clients hundreds of thousands of dollars which translates into a lot of free golf and drinks at the club house!
