Buying New Construction Without the Right Advisor Is a Costly Mistake
New construction is not “easier” real estate. It is more complex, more controlled, and far less forgiving than resale—especially for buyers who assume the builder is neutral.
The Builder Is Not Your Advocate
The sales representative works for the developer. Their responsibility is to protect pricing, manage absorption, and control concessions— not to optimize your position.
When buyers walk in unrepresented, they often:
- Overpay for “released” inventory
- Miss incentive windows tied to construction stages
- Accept contracts that heavily favor the developer
- Fail to negotiate deposits, upgrades, or exit flexibility
New Construction Requires Strategy — Not Tours
I do not show new construction the way most agents do. I approach it as an inventory system with leverage points.
Every project has:
- Phases where pricing is flexible — and phases where it is not
- Units used to anchor future price increases
- Internal incentives not advertised publicly
- Risk tied to delivery timing, financing conditions, and resale restrictions
My job is to identify where the developer needs movement — and position you there.
Contracts Matter More Than Floor Plans
New construction contracts are written to protect the builder: timelines, remedies, deposits, defaults, and change orders are rarely balanced in the buyer’s favor.
I focus on:
- Delivery and delay language
- Assignment and resale limitations
- Deposit exposure and escalation clauses
- Upgrade pricing versus post-delivery alternatives
Most buyers discover these issues after they are locked in. My clients understand them before they sign.
Why Sophisticated Buyers Use Me
Buyers who work with me are not looking for hype. They want:
- Clear analysis of value versus marketing
- Guidance on when to buy now — and when to wait
- Protection against one-sided contracts
- A strategy that considers resale, rentability, and exit
Whether the goal is end-use, appreciation, or long-term positioning, new construction must be approached with intent — not excitement.
