What Middle Tennessee buyers should know — and why to have your own agent
Dream Finders is a large, publicly traded builder with real scale, including an in-house lender (Jet HomeLoans) that has offered closing-cost credits and rate incentives. That can be a genuinely good deal — but the on-site sales counselor represents Dream Finders in the negotiation. Bringing your own buyer's agent typically comes at little or no cost to you and gets you someone reviewing the purchase agreement, comparing the in-house lender's terms against an independent quote, and walking the community's included-features list with you before you sign.
What's "standard" varies by community — gas appliances and granite counters are marketed as included in some, for instance — so get the included-vs.-upgrade list in writing for your specific plan and homesite. In multi-builder communities like Shelton Square, Thomas Downs, Fountain View, and Garrett Farms, confirm exactly which builder is building your lot, since warranty terms and finishes can differ even within the same neighborhood. Registering us as your agent on your first visit means you have representation from day one, rather than adding an agent after the fact.
