Yes, this is common. The builders will only pay the Realtor if the Realtor goes with you the first time and 'registers' you as their client.

Oh no! I wish I new this and I do a ton of research! Now I feel like I have no guidance!

If you have not signed any docs, try simply telling them you will not sign a purchase contract unless you are able to be represented by your realtor. Many times we give up rights as consumers. The fact is you do not have to buy their home any more than they have to allow your realtor in on the deal. I would be very interested to see if they let a deal walk because of a decision that won't cost them anything to change their mind.

I spoke with the builder agent and he said of course I could use a realtor! Also found out they will not build a fence in any of their homes so that's a dealbreajer for me! 3 pups must have safe area to take care of business and play ball!!
