Buying Tips for New Construction Homes

  1. Bring Your Own Agent on the First Visit
    Without an agent present, you waive your right to outside representation and are left with the builder’s sales team. Let us advocate for you—at no extra cost.

  2. Builder Incentives Are Tied to Their Lender
    You’ll often receive $10K–$30K in closing cost credits, rate buy-downs, or upgrades, but only if you use the builder’s preferred lender.

  3. Budget for Extras

    • No Backyard Landscaping

    • No Window Coverings
      These homes are sold as blank canvases. Plan ahead so you're not caught off guard post-move-in.
