Purchased a new home but used a realtor that could guide me and help thru the process with the interest of me...The team also assisted in decision making when picking out interior of house and even assisted in home walk thru....I see no reason why not to use a realtor when buying a brand new home due to it does not effect the price of the home...Lucky for me I picked a realtor who went above and beyond to assist me... And one key note this home was taken care of while working out of state and the realtor don't. To monitor build and send pics thru process....
