Unlock The Top Six Things To-Do

 Know where you stand financially—your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and buying power.  In new construction most builders will offer an incentive to use their preferred lender. 

 Not all agents are experienced with new builds—work with someone who knows the process, timelines, and builder incentives 

 Factor in lot premiums, upgrades, HOA fees, and design center costs—not just the base price. 

 Tour model homes, read reviews, and compare warranties, included features, and reputation.
 

 Consider elevation, orientation, view, privacy, slope, and proximity to amenities. 

 Know what’s customizable and what’s set in stone. Review structural options early.
