who are the Platinum VIP agents and how do they help you when you're buying a
pre-construction condo. Platinum VIP agents are the preferred agents of a
builder, the chosen few. How do they get the status? By selling a lot more units
for that builder in the past than a regular agent.
They are awarded by the
builder with first access to the units and best prices for their clients. When
the new condo project is launched aside from the developers friends and families
Platinum VIP agents are the first group of people to know about and get access
to a new pre-construction condo project. This group of agents generally
sell the largest chunk of units. These agents then inform the clients who are
interested in buying a builder condo unit right away. When you buy your condo
using one of these agents you get first access to wide choice of best units
with best floor plans and views, at the lowest price and developers incentives
and promotions. After this pre public sale, choice of
available units goes down and prices tends to go up. A platinum VIP agent
works for the buyer and not the builder so working with one of such agents can
be very beneficial. Here is one good reason to have a
Platinum VIP agent. These agents specialize in selling pre-construction
condos and houses and they sell them at a much higher volume than other realtors.
For this reason they are extremely important to a condo builder.
Many times the builder also gives allocation of units to Platinum agents
for which they have exclusive access to sell them to their clients for a limited
time. This ongoing relationship between the developer and the Platinum agent
builds trust between them. This can work to the client's benefit in the form of
better incentives. let's say if a person walks into the sales office on
his own or with an agent who's not a platinum VIP agent. Think about it. If you
have a choice between working with an agent who has worked with a builder,
someone whom you can trust, has delivered you good results in the past and an
agent who's new and is promising you the world but cannot deliver because he or
she doesn't have that relationship with the Builder, who will you choose or prefer.
Same goes when you're walking into the sales office all by your own. All the
builders people and the salespeople working for the Builder work for the
Builder so naturally they have the best interests of the Builder and not you. The
real benefit of having a platinum VIP agent is revealed later when an issue
crops up and you need help in dealing with that issue that is where the
Platinum agent can be the most valuable asset. So when you're working with the
Platinum VIP agent you get to know about a project first before they are
advertised, learn about project launches, events and sales much earlier and you
can often reserve a unit ahead of other buyers simply by filling out a worksheet
and like I said before the Platinum agent works for you as a client and has
your interest first. So work with an agent who has sold hundreds of condos
and homes in pre-construction and who's an expert in the field. If you find this
