New builds are my specialty.
New construction is one of the smartest moves a buyer can make — no bidding wars, modern finishes, builder warranties, and communities with real upside. I specialize in getting you into the right one.
Let's Talk New Builds
What makes a new build different
New construction is priced by the builder — you're not competing against 12 other offers. It's a calmer, more strategic buying experience.
No surprise repairs, no aging systems, no previous owner's questionable choices. New builds come with warranties and modern building standards.
Depending on where the home is in the build process, you may be able to choose finishes, flooring, cabinets, and fixtures.
No sellers to negotiate emotions with, predictable timelines, and the ability to go under contract before you've even moved.
Builders regularly offer closing cost assistance, rate buydowns, and upgrade packages — especially on standing inventory.
Most new construction comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty, 2-year systems warranty, and 10-year structural warranty.
How buying new construction actually works
We figure out what you're looking for
Before we tour a single model home, we get clear on your priorities — location, price range, timeline, must-haves, and lifestyle.
- → Budget and financing pre-approval
- → Neighborhood and commute priorities
- → Timeline — to-be-built or quick move-in?
I research the communities and builders
Not all builders are equal. I look at reputation, build quality, warranty records, and current incentive packages — so you walk into a model home already knowing what you're walking into.
- → Builder reputation and quality research
- → Current community incentives and inventory
- → HOA fees and what's actually included
We tour model homes — together
I go with you to every model home visit. The builder's sales agent works for the builder. I'm there to ask the questions they won't volunteer answers to and make sure you see what matters.
- → I attend every model home visit with you
- → Virtual tours available for out-of-state buyers
- → Honest assessment of build quality and value
Contract, design center, and close
I review every page of the builder contract with you. Then I'm with you at the design center, at the pre-drywall inspection, and at the closing table.
- → Full builder contract review — no surprises
- → Design center strategy so you stay on budget
- → Pre-drywall inspection coordination
- → Final walkthrough and punch list
New construction myths — busted
"I don't need my own agent — the builder's sales rep can help me."
The builder's sales agent works for the builder — legally obligated to represent their interests, not yours. Having your own agent costs you nothing and protects everything.
"New construction prices are fixed — there's no negotiating."
Builders negotiate constantly — especially on standing inventory and at end of quarter. If you know how to ask, there's often more on the table than you'd expect.
"Using the builder's preferred lender is always the best deal."
Sometimes it is — builders often tie their best incentives to using their lender. But sometimes it isn't. I'll help you run the numbers so you decide with full information.
"New construction doesn't need an inspection."
New builds have defects too — sometimes significant ones. A pre-drywall inspection and a final inspection before closing are non-negotiable for my clients. Every single time.
