What should I do before I visit a builder?

Please register with your own agent before your first model visit or online registration, because most builders accept your agent only from your first visit or first contact. The sales team in the model works for the builder.

Before you choose, compare the contracts, the deposits, and what each incentive requires, such as using the builder's lender.

Quick move-ins, close-outs, and what is coming soon

These are homes the builders have finished or are finishing now. They are the fastest way to move in, and they are where builders put their biggest incentives.

Close-outs: last homes8

These communities are down to their last homesites, where a builder will often bargain to finish.

Coming soon2

These communities are announced but not yet selling. Please register with me before you join a builder's interest list.

Completed neighborhoods24

These are communities the builders have finished. Homes there sell as resales, often with part of the builder warranty remaining.

Before your first visit

Talk to Janelle before you visit a builder

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.

  • In most new construction sales the builder pays my fee, so having me on your side usually costs you nothing extra.
  • I can save you money. Builder prices leave room to negotiate, and I negotiate the price, the upgrades, and the incentives, then get every promise in writing.
  • The sales team in the model works for the builder. I work for you, from your first visit through closing.
  • Please call me before your first visit or online registration, because most builders accept your own agent only when that agent registers you at the start.

Questions

New construction FAQ

How many builders sell new homes in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties?

54 builders are selling or opening 124 communities in Babcock Ranch, Bradenton, Englewood, Lakewood Ranch, Myakka City, Nokomis, North Port, and Palmetto, and more at the price points I focus on. Builders open and sell out communities all the time, so I am happy to tell you what is new this week.

What incentives are builders offering right now?

Builders change their offers every month: rate buydowns, closing cost credits, design studio money, and price cuts on finished homes are the most common. Each community's page shows the incentives its builder publishes today. Offers usually require the builder's lender or a contract by a set date, and I compare them by your total monthly cost.

Should I buy a quick move-in home or build?

A quick move-in home is built or nearly built, so you can move in within weeks, and builders put their biggest incentives on these homes; the homesite and most finishes, however, are already chosen. Building lets you choose the homesite, plan, and options, and takes about 6 to 12 months. Comparing both in the same community, side by side on price per square foot, shows which is the better buy.

Do I need my own agent to buy new construction?

The builder's sales team represents the builder. Builders usually pay the buyer's agent from their marketing budget, so the price is the same with or without one, but most builders require your agent to register you on your first visit or first contact. Please call me before you visit a sales center or register online.

What is a CDD fee?

A Community Development District pays for a new community's roads, utilities, and amenities with bonds, and homeowners repay them through a yearly assessment on the property tax bill, on top of any HOA dues. Many new communities in the area have one. Before you sign, ask for the yearly CDD amount and how many years remain on the bonds.

Which county is Lakewood Ranch in?

Both. Lakewood Ranch spans Manatee County and Sarasota County. The county sets the property tax rate and the public school district, so two homes a few miles apart can differ on both. Check which county a community is in before you compare prices.

Builders change their prices, plans, and incentives often. If you have a question that is not answered here, I will be happy to give you today's answer. Email me or call me at (813) 394-3313.
