New Construction Real Estate Agent in Batavia, IL: What the Job Covers, How a Build Moves Through the City, and Who Can Help

A new construction real estate agent in Batavia, IL sits on your side of the table when the builder’s sales team sits on the other, and Kelly Lach does that for Batavia buyers. Below: the job, the City of Batavia steps a new home passes through, and the way to reach her.

What does a new construction real estate agent in Batavia handle?

She protects the buyer’s side of a build: registering with the builder on your first visit, reading the builder’s contract with your attorney, and standing with you at the inspections. Kelly’s search for a new home in Batavia starts west of Randall Road and just outside the city.

What does a new build in Batavia pass through?

  1. Put Kelly on file at your first visit, before you tour a model or put anything in writing.
  2. For a lot inside the city, expect the electric service to be approved before the building permit is issued. Batavia runs its own Municipal Electric Utility, and its service application goes in with each building permit application and must be approved by the Electric Superintendent first. The form names the owner, the builder, the lot, block and subdivision, and the meter location on a site plan.
  3. Ask about grading. The same form requires the lot graded to within six inches, plus or minus, before service is run, and it puts the builder on the hook for service damaged or set at the wrong depth when the site was not graded.
  4. Bring in an independent inspector at framing, and again before closing.

Why hire a Batavia agent before the builder’s contract?

  • A second reader on the builder’s contract before you sign.
  • Electric, permit and grading questions reach the builder before you commit to a lot.
  • Compare a west-side new build against a Batavia resale side by side.
