Start with how soon you want to move and how much you want to choose. We’ll confirm what is actually available with each builder.
Explore what is already taking shape
A home already underway
A completed home or one under construction gives us a specific property to compare. The remaining choices depend on how far along it is.
Confirm the expected completion and closing dates.
Check which finishes, appliances, and outdoor features are included.
Ask which advertised incentives apply to this exact home.
A useful starting point when your moving date matters.
Explore the choices before construction
A home built from a plan
Start with the builder’s available plans and lots, then compare the selections and costs that would make the home yours.
Separate the base price from lot premiums and upgrades.
Ask when selections and deposits become final.
Discuss what happens if construction or your financing timeline changes.
A useful starting point when you want to shape more of the details.
The numbers deserve a closer look
An advertised rate is only the beginning.
Ask the lender for a Loan Estimate for the home and loan you are considering. Then compare the full picture, including any builder incentive conditions.
Principal and interest, mortgage insurance if applicable, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and any HOA dues.
What you bring to closing
Down payment, lender fees, points, prepaid items, and credits. Ask which costs each incentive can cover.
The offer’s conditions
Which homes qualify? Is a particular lender required? What are the application, contract, closing, and rate-lock deadlines?
The payment later on
A temporary buydown reduces payments for a limited period. Have the lender explain the payment schedule and what happens when it ends.
All financing figures need lender verification. An estimate is not a loan approval or a guaranteed payment. CFPB: why payments can change.
Your questions. Your decision.
Bring your own plan to the builder conversation.
I can help you compare options across builders, organize the questions, and coordinate the next steps. We’ll discuss buyer representation, services, and compensation before moving forward together.
Before visiting or registering with a builder, get in touch so we can check that builder’s agent-registration process.
Questions I want us to ask
Let’s get the details in writing.
What is included, and what would cost extra?
What do the deposit and cancellation terms say?
When can independent inspections and walkthroughs take place?
What does the written warranty cover, and how do you request service?
How will we handle a changed completion date?
A simple place to begin
From a list to a closer look.
01
Request the list
Open the builder rate page and enter your name, phone, and email to unlock the list. You’ll also receive a link by email.
02
Choose what interests you
Follow the home links to my KW site for listing details. Pick homes to tour, or tell me your budget and let me help narrow the options.
03
Make a showing plan
Send your preferred tour times through the list page. I’ll follow up to confirm the details; a request is not yet a confirmed appointment.
Yes. Tell me the places you are considering and the routes you need to travel. We can compare available new homes around the metro alongside local area guides and your own priorities.
Does a builder incentive make it the best deal?
We need to compare the home’s price, the incentive terms, and lender estimates together. Ask for comparable loan options and confirm the costs in writing before deciding which offer fits.
Can I compare new construction with existing homes?
Absolutely. We can look at both, using your budget, layout needs, condition preferences, and timeline. My home-buying guide explains how we work through the broader search.
Your next chapter, considered
Curious about a new home? Let’s start there.
You do not need to have every answer. Bring your questions, a few priorities, and an idea of your timing.
Builder inventory, prices, rates, incentives, and completion dates can change. Confirm availability and offer terms with the builder and lender. Anthony Coby is a real estate agent, not a lender; financing is subject to lender review and approval.
