Why You Need Your Own Agent

The value of your own representation

Builder pricing includes buyer representation

Builder pricing is designed to include buyer representation. The difference is whether you choose to have an experienced advocate protecting your interests and guiding your decisions throughout the process.

No surprises on compensation

Buyer agent compensation is negotiated and documented in writing upfront, per current real estate rules. With most builders, that compensation is structured into the standard transaction. We confirm the terms before you sign anything, so you always know where you stand.

I know what's negotiable

Builders rarely lower the base price, but there's often room on closing cost credits, upgrade packages, lot premiums, and rate buydowns. The best leverage comes during pre-construction and community closeout phases.

I monitor the build

Most production homes take 6-12 months. Permitting, weather, and supply chain issues cause delays. I track the schedule, attend key inspections, and hold the builder accountable when timelines shift.

How It Works

From first conversation to move-in day

01

Discovery

We talk about what you want in a home, your budget, your timeline, and which communities fit your lifestyle. I'll tell you which builders I trust and which ones I don't.

02

Community Tours

I take you through the model homes and communities that match your criteria. I know the sales teams, the lot availability, and the incentives they're not advertising.

03

Contract & Negotiation

I provide strategic guidance as you review the builder's contract, ensuring you have clarity around the terms and how they apply to your purchase. I also advocate for you in securing available incentives, price reductions, including closing cost contributions, upgrade opportunities, and lot considerations. My compensation is arranged directly with the builder, in alignment with customary real estate practices.

04

Build & Close

I monitor the build timeline, attend key inspections, and make sure everything is right before you sign. When timelines shift, and they do, I keep you informed and hold the builder accountable.

Where to Build

Active new construction areas

Urban Infill & Custom

Beyond the big master-planned communities, new builds also pop up inside Orlando's established city neighborhoods. College Park is the standout, where David Weekley and a handful of smaller custom builders are placing new homes on infill lots throughout the area. These opportunities are limited and rarely listed publicly – if a walkable in-town address matters to you, ask and I'll source what's currently available.

Frequently Asked

New construction questions answered

Do I need my own realtor when buying new construction?

I offer a high level of representation throughout the new construction process, guiding you through the builder's contract, advising on key decisions, and advocating for available incentives such as closing cost contributions, upgrade opportunities, and lot considerations. My compensation is handled directly with the builder, in alignment with customary real estate practices.

How long does it take to build a new home in Orlando?

Most production homes from national builders take six to twelve months from contract to closing. Timelines can shift due to permitting, weather, or supply chain factors. I monitor the build schedule and keep you informed at every stage.

What upgrades are worth the investment?

Spend on the things you can't change later. Ceiling height, electrical and plumbing rough-ins, structural options, and the floor plan choices that affect resale belong on the contract. Cosmetic finishes are different. Paint, fixtures, and backsplashes can almost always be done better and cheaper after closing.

Can I negotiate the price on a new construction home?

Yes, to an extent. Negotiability often depends on the builder's inventory levels and overall demand within the community. While builders typically avoid reducing base prices to protect future comparable sales, there is often opportunity to secure value through closing cost contributions, upgrade packages, lot premiums, and interest rate buydowns offered through the builder's preferred lender.

Let's walk a community together

The fastest way to know if new construction is right for you is to see it in person. I'll meet you at the models, walk the lots, and tell you what to look for before you sign anything.
