New Construction Home Buying Services in Florida

Buying new should be exciting: your plan, your finishes, your dream home.

Reality: dozens of builders, weekly-changing incentives, hidden premiums, and contracts that protect the builder—not you. One wrong step can cost tens of thousands.

Most agents don’t specialize in new construction. I do — every single day.

I live in Lakewood Ranch and work with every major builder in the area. I know the incentives, the lots worth paying for, and exactly how to negotiate the best deal for you (because I work only for you).

Straight answers and full support from shortlist to closing day.

15 minutes to see what’s actually possible for you right now — no pressure.

What This Service Includes

  • We short-list only the builders and communities that truly fit your lifestyle and budget — no wasted weekends.
  • Full pricing breakdown (base, lot premiums, structural, design) so you never overpay for upgrades.
  • Real-time incentive tracking — clients regularly walk away with $15K–$50K+ extra in free options or price cuts.
  • Smart lot selection — I show you how the exact same floor plan can be worth $100K–$150K more (or less) at resale simply because of view, privacy, and location.
  • Live model tours (in-person or Zoom) with honest side-by-side comparisons of homes and communities — no builder spin.
  • Thorough contract review and smart negotiation — we get you the best possible terms and pricing the builder will actually agree to.
  • Structural + design-center guidance so you stay on budget and love the finished home.
  • Pre-drywall and final inspections + weekly build updates — issues get fixed early, not after closing.

We work for you from day one to keys in hand — because the builder already has their agent.

New Construction FAQ

In most cases, no. Most builders include compensation for a buyer’s agent at no additional cost to you. On the off chance the builder does not offer fair compensation, you will always know upfront and before offering so you can decide how to proceed — no surprises.

In 18 years of working with buyers, none of my clients have ever paid me directly for buyer representation.

You don’t have to — but it’s strongly recommended. Builder representatives work for the builder. We work for you to help you compare builders, understand pricing, choose the right lot, negotiate the best price and navigate the contract and build process.

Absolutely. We offer full relocation support including Zoom consultations, virtual walk-throughs, community comparisons, and guidance on timing your move.

Yes — significantly. Builder contracts, deposits, timelines, incentives, and inspections all work differently. Most new construction contracts offer fewer buyer protections than resale, so expert guidance is critical.

We walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect.
