Buying a new construction home can feel exciting and simple at first glance. The homes are beautiful, everything is new, and the builder is there to guide you. But even with new construction, there are contracts, details, and long-term costs that buyers often don’t realize until it’s too late.
That’s why working with a new construction realtor is so important. My role is to protect your best interests, explain the fine print, and help you make informed decisions from the very beginning.
Yes, Yes, and Yes! It’s absolutely in your best interest to bring your realtor on your first visit to the builder.
A builder’s sales team works for the builder, not for you. As a new construction real estate agent, I work for you. I ask the questions buyers don’t always know to ask and make sure nothing is overlooked.
Having a realtor is not about commission. It’s about protection, guidance, and advocacy throughout the process.
Most builders have a rule that says a realtor must accompany you on your very first visit in order to represent you. If you visit the community on your own first, the builder may not allow a realtor to step in later.
That’s why I always tell buyers:
Please don’t visit a new construction community without your realtor.
It ensures you have someone reviewing contracts, explaining terms, and looking out for your long-term interests from day one.
When I walk new construction communities with my clients, I focus on details that directly affect your monthly payment and future costs.
Some of the most important questions include:
Newer communities often have higher tax rates due to Mello-Roos or special assessments. We need to understand the total property tax percentage, not just the base rate.
Is there an HOA? What does it cover? Is it likely to increase over time? These fees matter long-term and should be understood clearly before committing.
Model homes look amazing, but many features are upgrades. I help you understand what comes standard, what costs extra, and whether those upgrades are worth it for your budget.
Are the solar panels owned or leased? Who is the provider? Are the terms transferable? These details can impact resale and monthly expenses.
Many builders offer incentives if you use their preferred lender. While this can be helpful, you are not required to use their lender. I always encourage buyers to compare rates and terms to make sure they’re getting the best deal.
Yes you can.
Many buyers assume there is no room for negotiation with new construction, but that’s not always true. Negotiation may look different than resale homes, but builders can often offer:
A realtor for new construction knows how and when to ask for these opportunities.
In many cases, yes.
If you already visited the community without a realtor and registered yourself, the builder may not allow a realtor to represent you afterward. This is why timing matters so much.
If you’re unsure whether it’s too late, it’s still worth asking. I’m happy to review your situation and let you know what options are available.
As a new build realtor, I focus on education, clarity, and protection. I help you:
My goal is to make sure your new home purchase feels exciting and confident not stressful or confusing.
New construction homes offer amazing opportunities, but only when you understand the full picture. Having a new construction realtor near me means having someone on your side who knows what to look for and how to protect you.
If you’re considering a new build, or even thinking about visiting a community, contact Rosa Camacho first. I’m here to guide you through the process and help you move forward with confidence.
