New construction

The builder's rep is great.They also work for the builder.

Building new is exciting. It's also a contract written by the builder, a design center built to upsell you, and a lot of decisions made before there are walls. We make sure someone in the room is on your side, and we've sat on the other side of that desk.

For buyers

Rule number one: bring us on visit one.

Many builders only work with your agent if they're registered on your very first visit. Walk into the model alone "just to look" and you may lose the chance to have representation at all. So call us before you tour. Seriously.

01

We read the contract like a hawk

Builder contracts are written for builders. We flag the deadlines, the deposit terms and the clauses that matter before you sign.

02

We run the incentive math

"Use our lender and get $15,000" can be great, or it can cost you more over the life of the loan. We compare it side by side.

03

We stay on the builder

Inspection items, delays, punch lists. We keep pushing the site team so things actually get fixed before closing.

The build, step by step

What we do at every stage.

Tap a stage to see where we step in.

Pick the builder and the lot

We compare builders on quality, resale track record and how they handle warranty calls, then help you choose a lot (the backyard that faces the woods is not the same as the one that faces the road).

Our tip: lot premiums are often more negotiable than the base price.

Sign the contract

We go through deposits, completion dates, what happens if the build runs late, and which incentives are tied to which lender. Nothing gets signed until you understand it.

Our tip: get every promise from the sales office in writing.

Survive the design center

We help you spend on the upgrades that are hard to add later and that buyers pay for at resale, and skip the ones you can do yourself for a third of the price.

Our tip: structural and electrical now, light fixtures and paint later.

Inspect before the drywall goes up

Once the walls close, you can't see the framing, plumbing or wiring. We coordinate an independent pre-drywall inspection so problems get fixed while they're still easy to fix.

Our tip: this is the single most skipped (and most valuable) inspection.

Final walk and closing

A full independent inspection plus our own walk-through, then we stay on the site team until the punch list is actually done, not just promised.

Our tip: blue tape on everything. Photograph it all.

The month-eleven warranty walk

Most builder warranties have a one-year window for workmanship items. We remind you before it closes and help get a warranty inspection on the calendar so nothing slips through.

Our tip: keep a running list of nail pops and sticky doors all year.
