A new home, with your interests in mind

New construction can offer useful opportunities for first-time buyers and anyone looking for a brand-new home. I represent you throughout the process.

Before you begin

Before visiting the model home

Four things to understand before signing.

Who the sales agent represents
The model-home sales agent represents the builder, not the buyer.
Register on your first visit
You generally need to register with your agent on your first visit to retain representation.
CDD and HOA fees
Ask about infrastructure and amenities fees, the annual amount and remaining years.
Incentives have conditions
Some depend on using the preferred lender. Compare total costs, not just the offer headline.

Questions about new construction

Builders usually pay buyer representation from their marketing budget, so it generally doesn't cost you extra. Register with your agent correctly on your first visit.

Yes. New doesn't mean flawless. An independent inspector can identify issues before the final walkthrough, while the builder is still responsible for corrections.

A Community Development District finances streets, utilities and amenities built by the developer. Its fee is tied to the property, often for decades, and is separate from HOA fees. Usually billed with property taxes, it becomes part of your monthly cost. Fees vary by community.
