Truth or Myth? Having Realtor Representation When Buying a New Build
There is a lot of controversy out there about having a realtor represent you when buying a brand new home. I am here to state the facts.
1. Having representation brings my price point up. MYTH - not only can I negotiate on your behalf to make sure you are getting the best deal, commissions that builders pay to agents comes from a completely separate budget and has nothing to do with the purchase price.
2. Having representation is more beneficial when the realtor has knowledge and experience in hew homes. TRUTH - as someone who has worked in new home sales, I can sort through the competition, make sure you are getting the best quality, and save you time and money in the process.
3. Having representation does not offer any additional protection. MYTH - as a consumer, having representation can protect you honourably and emotionally. Not only are you represented by a licensed professional, I can make sure you are connected with the right area manager and the right mortgage broker so that there are no grey areas during the buying process.
4. Having representation does not benefit me down the line. MYTH - as a licensed realtor, I can help sell your existing home, buy additional properties, and sell those as well down the line. With exceptional marketing skills and constant action within the market, you can be CONFIDENT that you are making the right moves when it comes to investing in Real Estate.
Please keep in mind when it comes to new builds, you get what you pay for. We work with trusted home builders that we know build above and beyond the standard building code.

Mad Love Monday | Amal Mohamud
My name is Amal Mohamud and I am a writer, director and producer from Edmonton. I use my media skills and storytelling abilities to create and tell visual stories on screen.
My name is Amal Mohamud and I am a writer, director and producer from Edmonton. I use my media skills and storytelling abilities to create and tell visual stories on screen. I am a proud 28-year-old first-generation Muslim Somali Canadian that can speak 3 different languages – Somali, Arabic and English. Highlighting diverse Edmonton stories on screen is an art form for me because I am communicating narratives in a visual matter.
I feel that stories help bring people together and the idea of bringing my own visuals to life as a storyteller is my way of being an artist. I have worked extremely hard to further my career as a writer, director and producer in Edmonton.
I have always had a passion for storytelling and that’s why I pursed media. I enjoyed writing, directing and producing meaningful projects. The lack of diversity on screen has also really motivated me to want to showcase stories from underrepresented communities. I believe that representation of minorities matters and, in my case, growing up I never saw someone that I was able to relate to, that looked like me. For that reason, I decided that it was my mission and purpose to give voice to the voiceless.
In 2016, I reached out to Shaw TV Edmonton to volunteer on their Edmonton community television program, a platform where they covered local stories for the Edmonton community. They were very supportive and allowed me to produce, write and direct some projects with their team and it aired on their platform. After my experience with Shaw TV Edmonton, OMNI Alberta's team reached out to me and offered me a position to join the Somalis in Alberta program community program. Being a part of OMNI was important to me, I've received many positive feedbacks from viewers saying they enjoyed the program because it was relatable to them. The lack of diversity and negative media representations of my community has motivated me to tell positive Somali stories.
I recently developed my first documentary project with AMI accessible media earlier this year, the documentary was about Canadian organizations creating virtual programs for people with disabilities during the pandemic. I am extremely proud of my accomplishments and I can't wait to create, develop and produce more and new projects as a storyteller. I want to inspire and motivate my community members by exhibiting our Edmonton community in the spotlight.
