The process

Here is how a new build goes.

Six phases, from your first community visit to closing day. You always know where we are and what comes next.

Phase 01

Plan

We get clear on your goals and budget, and get your representation in place before you start touring.

  • Talk through what you want and your timeline
  • Get pre-approved so your budget is real
  • Connect before you register at a builder on your own

Phase 02

Explore

We compare your options side by side, so you choose with information rather than pressure.

  • Compare communities, builders, and floor plans
  • Weigh lots, upgrades, and current incentives

Phase 03

Contract

The builder's contract is detailed, and I review it closely with your interests in mind.

  • Choose your home, lot, and plan
  • Review the builder contract and negotiate incentives

Phase 04

Build or move in

Here the path forks, depending on whether your home is being built for you or is already standing.

  • To be built: design center selections and construction milestones, with a steady hand on the budget and the calendar
  • Move-in ready: a shorter path, since the home is already finished and we move straight toward inspection and close

Phase 05

Inspect and finance

New does not mean flawless, so we verify before you commit.

  • Independent inspections, even on a new build
  • Financing locked and a pre-closing walkthrough

Phase 06

Closing

We finish strong, and I stay available after the keys change hands.

  • Final walkthrough and closing day
  • Warranty period follow-up

Why this works

A background most agents don't have.

Before real estate, I spent years in finance and operations, reading contracts closely and turning complicated processes into something calm and clear.

On a new build, that means reviewing the builder's agreement with your interests in mind, keeping the timeline and the budget honest, and staying steady from the first model home to closing day.

My job is simple: keep your interests front and center, from the first visit to the keys.
