New Construction
Builder negotiation, lot selection, and walkthrough representation.
Buying new construction is not the same as buying a resale home. The builder's on-site sales rep represents the builder — not you. Bringing your own buyer's agent to the very first visit costs you nothing and gives you a powerful advocate at every step.
A new-construction specialist helps you evaluate builders, compare floor plans and lots, negotiate upgrades and incentives, review the builder's contract (which is far less buyer-friendly than a standard MLS contract), schedule pre-drywall and final walkthroughs, and use independent inspectors.
Bring your agent on day one — most builders will not pay buyer-agent commission if you have already registered without representation.
Key Considerations
- Builder reputation and warranty review
- Floor plan and lot selection
- Upgrade and incentive negotiation
- Independent pre-drywall inspection
- Final walkthrough and punch list
- Spec, semi-custom, and custom builds
