Before your first visit

Talk to Janelle before you visit Neal Signature Homes

Janelle began in corporate real estate sales at a Fortune 500 builder company, then oversaw sales and marketing for several of the region's most exclusive custom home builders. In 2017 she moved from representing builders to representing her own clients, so she knows how builders structure pricing, upgrades, and contracts.

  • Having Janelle on your side costs you nothing: the builder pays her fee, and you pay the same price either way.
  • She can save you money. Builder prices leave room to negotiate, and Janelle negotiates the price, the upgrades, and the incentives, then gets every promise in writing.
  • The sales team in the model works for the builder. Janelle works for you, from the first visit to the closing.
  • Call her before your first visit or online registration: most builders accept your own agent only when the agent registers you at the start.
