Why Use an Agent for New Construction

The Builder's Rep Works for the Builder

The friendly sales consultant at the model home represents the builder's interests. You deserve someone who represents yours.

Contract, Upgrades & Incentives

I review the purchase agreement, upgrade pricing and incentive offers with you so you understand exactly what you're signing.

Walk-Throughs & Inspections

I attend key walk-throughs and inspections with you, helping make sure items are noted and addressed before closing.

No Extra Cost to You

When you purchase from a builder, my representation costs the buyer nothing extra.

In most cases; confirm with the builder's registration policy.

Register with me BEFORE your first visit to a builder's model or sales center.

Most builders require the buyer's agent to be registered on your very first visit — otherwise you may lose the ability to have your own representation for that home.

Your Options

Ways to Buy New

Move-In Ready / Quick Move-In

Homes already finished or nearly complete. Ideal when your timeline is short and you'd like to see the finished product before you buy.

To-Be-Built in a Community

Choose a lot and floor plan in a new community, then personalize finishes. Expect several months from contract to closing.

Build on Your Own Lot

Own land or plan to buy some? Work with a builder to design a home on your property, from the ground up.

Step by Step

The New Construction Process

  1. 1

    Consultation & Budget

    We talk through your goals, timeline and comfortable monthly budget.

  2. 2

    Pre-Approval & Builder Shortlist

    Get pre-approved and narrow down the builders and communities that fit.

  3. 3

    Community & Floor Plan Selection

    Tour models together and choose the lot and plan that suit your life.

  4. 4

    Contract & Design Selections

    Review the agreement, then make structural and design choices with clear pricing.

  5. 5

    Construction Milestones & Inspections

    Track progress, with independent inspections at pre-drywall and final.

  6. 6

    Final Walk-Through & Closing

    Walk the finished home, confirm punch-list items, and close.

  7. 7

    After-Closing Warranty Follow-Up

    I help you stay on top of warranty requests after you move in.

What to Watch For

  • Upgrade pricing — know what's included as standard and what each upgrade adds.
  • Builder-preferred lender incentives — compare them against a quote from your own lender.
  • HOA and CDD fees and property taxes, which can be higher in newer communities.
  • Completion timelines — ask how estimated dates are set and what happens if they shift.
  • Warranty coverage — what's covered, for how long, and how to submit requests.
  • Independent third-party inspections at pre-drywall and final, even on a brand-new home.
