Two Ways to Buy New

Whether you're designing from scratch or ready to move in, we’ll help you find the perfect new construction home.

Build from the Ground Up

If you want to handpick your lot, customize your floor plan, and choose every finish, we’ll guide you through the full journey. From finding the right builder and location to navigating the design center and construction process, we make sure your home is built exactly the way you envisioned — with expert support at every step.

Buy New, Move Soon

Looking for a new home without the wait? We help you find move-in-ready homes — including hidden inventory that most buyers never see. Our team will negotiate on your behalf, help you evaluate builder incentives, and make sure the home is inspected and ready before you close. Fast, simple, and fully supported.

Why Work With Us?


Most buyers don’t realize that builder salespeople are not licensed real estate agents — they're employees of the builder. Their job is to sell homes and protect the builder’s interests. Our job? To protect yours.

When you work with our team, you get:

  • Access to hidden inventory you won't find online — thanks to close builder relationships

  • Help navigating builder incentives, rate buydowns, and closing cost credits

  • Expert guidance during walkthroughs, inspections, and the final punch list

  • Skilled negotiators on your side to get the best terms and upgrades possible

  • Honest feedback on craftsmanship, design, and builder reputations — we internally track them all

  • Peace of mind knowing you have a licensed professional advocating for you from contract to keys

 

The New Construction Advantage

Many builders in Texas offer:

  • Generous incentives like lower interest rates, closing cost credits, free upgrades, and more

  • Warranties that typically include one year on the home, two years on systems, and 10 years on structural elements

We'll help you understand and maximize these benefits while avoiding common pitfalls.

 

FAQs: Buying New Construction

Q: Do I need a real estate agent if I’m buying from a builder?

A: Absolutely. The builder’s sales rep works for the builder, not you. Having a licensed agent ensures your interests are protected and your money is spent wisely!

Q: Can you help with homes that are already built?

A: Yes! We help buyers with both move-in-ready homes and to-be-built homes where you choose the lot, floor plan, and finish-outs.

Q: What are “hidden inventory” homes?

A: These are homes that builders originally sold but the buyers couldn’t close — often due to financing or timing. They’re not advertised but can be great deals. We often find them before the public ever sees them.

Q: Will I still get the builder incentives if I use your team?

A: Yes — and in many cases, we can help you negotiate even more favorable terms.

 

Top Mistakes to Avoid When Buying New Construction

❌ Going in without an agent

You wouldn’t walk into a courtroom without a lawyer — don’t walk into a model home without representation.

❌ Skipping inspections

Yes, it’s brand new — but that doesn’t mean it’s flawless. We always recommend 3rd-party inspections.

❌ Falling for the model home trap

Model homes show every upgrade. We help you separate the sizzle from the standard features — and avoid surprises later.

❌ Missing out on builder incentives

Some builders offer huge perks that buyers overlook. We help you compare them all and avoid hidden costs.

❌ Choosing the wrong builder

Not all builders are created equal. We track builder performance behind the scenes and help steer you toward reputable, consistent options.

Your New Construction Journey, Step-by-Step

Buying a to-be-built home can feel overwhelming — but with our expert guidance, you’ll feel confident every step of the way. Here’s what to expect:

01


🧭 Consultation & Discovery

We’ll start with a one-on-one consultation to understand your goals, timeline, and preferences. Then, we’ll begin curating a list of the best builder options and communities for you.

02


🏘 Finding the Right Builder & Community

Using our deep local knowledge, we’ll help you compare builders, explore neighborhoods, and choose the right combination of quality, value, and location.

03


📍 Lot Selection Strategy

Not all lots are created equal. We’ll help you choose the best one — taking into account sun exposure, nearby roads, drainage, and resale potential.

04


📐 Floor Plan & Structural Choices

From extended patios to three-car garages, we’ll guide you through selecting the right floor plan and structural upgrades to match your lifestyle.

05


✍️ Contract Signing

We’ll walk you through the builder’s contract — which is often written in the builder’s favor — and help you understand key deadlines, protections, and what to expect.

06


🎨 Design Center Appointment

Now the fun part: picking out your finishes! We’ll help you prepare for this appointment so you can make smart upgrade decisions without blowing the budget.

07


🚧 Construction Begins

Once selections are finalized, your new home begins to take shape. We’ll stay in touch with the builder and keep you informed throughout the process.

08


🧱 Pre-Drywall Walkthrough

Before the walls go up, we’ll walk the home with you to confirm outlet placement, plumbing, and framing details are exactly as planned.

09


🟦 "Blue Tape" Walkthrough & Orientation

Right before closing, we’ll attend a detailed walkthrough to mark any cosmetic touch-ups needed and make sure you understand how everything works.

10


🔍 Final Walkthrough

This is our chance to verify all agreed-upon repairs and ensure the home is 100% move-in ready before closing day.

11


🗝 Closing & Move-In

Congratulations — it's yours! We’ll be right there with you at closing to make sure everything goes smoothly and to hand over the keys.

12


🔧 10-Month Warranty Inspection

As a bonus, we help coordinate a third-party inspection just before your 1-year builder warranty expires — so you can catch any final repairs while they’re still covered.
