What to look at first
Before visiting or registering, discuss how the builder handles outside buyer representation. Policies vary, and representation should be clarified at the beginning. Obtain a written picture of the base price, lot premium, selected options, incentives and closing expenses. An incentive tied to a particular lender or title provider needs a complete comparison with other available terms.
Read the actual provisions on deposits, changes, construction timing, inspection access and warranties. Ask what happens if the home is delayed and which features are included in the purchase. Independent inspection can be useful even for a newly built home. Preserve a written record of selections and outstanding items rather than relying on a model-home conversation.
Bring these questions to the conversation
- Clarify representation before registration or touring.
- Compare total price and financing terms together.
- Review delivery, inspection and warranty provisions.

The Broker’s Field Angle
Acreage introduces a different set of questions. Legal access, water source, wastewater arrangements, survey information and the allowed use of the land should be investigated before a buyer relies on a future plan. County and municipal boundaries, utility service areas and water determinations need parcel-specific verification. Jessica helps organize those inquiries with the appropriate professionals.
