Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend reaching out to us before contacting any builders, signing up on their websites, or visiting any homes. We want to guide you through the entire process, providing our expertise on the different builders and their available incentives.

Technically, yes, but our model works differently. Builders provide us with a commission for bringing in qualified buyers, so you don’t pay anything for our services. 

Yes, for a limited time we are sharing $1,000.00 of the commission we earn from the builder with you at closing. This is in addition to any savings or incentives we can negotiate on your behalf with the builder.

Yes, it’s true. A new construction home often allows you to raise your budget compared to buying a resale home. Here’s why:

1. Warranties: New homes come with warranties for the home itself, as well as for appliances and systems like heating and air conditioning. This can save you money on repairs and replacements.
2. Energy Efficiency: New appliances and HVAC systems are more efficient than older models, which can reduce your utility bills. Additionally, new homes are built to the latest building codes, often featuring better insulation and higher storm ratings, which also helps lower energy costs.
3. Lower Insurance Costs: New homes generally cost less to insure. Insurance companies recognize the lower risk associated with newer systems and compliance with the latest codes, leading to lower premiums.
4. Reduced Maintenance Costs: With all systems—roof, windows, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—being brand new and up to current standards, the risk of issues like pipe bursts or electrical issues is minimal. This lowers potential maintenance and replacement costs.

In contrast, with an older home, you should budget for future repairs and replacements, including appliances, HVAC systems, and possibly the roof. For example, a 20-year-old house built in 2004 likely has a 20-year-old roof, which may need replacing sooner rather than later.
