She said that they could save 3% on the purchase price by not using a real estate agent. I'm not sure if that's an incentive the developer is offering, or if she's referring to realtor fees. In an case, I told her to at least, have the documents looked over by some sort of real estate professional.

Any previous experience/ advice with this sort of situation?
Good advice on reviewing the plan and spec sheet carefully.

Not sure why you'd hire a real estate agent to review docs when you can hire a real estate lawyer. There are a few that post on this site.
