FAQ
What should I look for on a new construction tour?
Floor plan fit, lot orientation, included features versus upgrades, estimated completion timeline, HOA or CDD costs where applicable, warranty coverage, and how the contract handles changes and delays.
Do builders negotiate prices or incentives?
It depends on the builder, inventory levels, and timing. Incentives can change frequently. The best approach is to compare total cost and contract terms, not only the headline price.
When should I bring an agent on a new construction purchase?
As early as possible, ideally before the first visit or before registering with the builder. Builder rules can affect how representation is handled if you visit first.
Can you help compare multiple builders and communities?
Yes. We can compare objective factors like home features, timeline, included items, upgrade costs, HOA or CDD fees where applicable, and contract terms.
