01
Register me on visit one
Many builders require your agent to be with you, or registered, at your very first visit. Call me before you tour models.
Buyer services
New construction homes in Northeast Florida
The builder's salesperson works for the builder. I work for you, from your first model home visit to the final walkthrough.
02
Compare communities
CDD and HOA costs, lot premiums, build timelines and resale track records differ a lot between communities and builders.
03
Read the contract
Builder contracts are written for the builder. Deposits, delays, change orders and warranties all deserve a careful read.
04
Weigh the incentives
Rate buydowns and closing cost credits can be valuable, but they're often tied to the builder's lender. We'll compare real costs.
05
Inspect anyway
An independent inspector at pre drywall and before closing catches problems that are expensive to fix later.
06
Walkthrough and warranty
I'll help you document punch list items and understand what the warranty covers and for how long.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own realtor when buying from a builder?
Yes. Most builders work with buyer's agents, but many require the agent to be registered at your first visit. Contact me before you visit a model home.
Should I get an inspection on a brand new home?
Yes. An independent inspector can find issues at the pre drywall stage and again before closing that are far harder to fix after you move in.
Are builder incentives worth it?
Sometimes. Rate buydowns and closing credits can save real money, but they're often tied to using the builder's lender or title company. Compare the total cost both ways.
