The builder has a team.
So should you.

Builder purchase agreements run 30 to 50 pages and are designed to give builders maximum flexibility and minimum liability. I review every page before you sign, flagging clauses that matter: dispute resolution limits, timeline change rights, material substitution language, and warranty restrictions.

Builders negotiate differently than individual sellers, but they do negotiate. Closing cost contributions, lot premiums, design center credits, rate buydowns, and included upgrades are all fair game. I know the inventory, the builder's sales pace, and the end-of-quarter windows that create the most leverage.

Builders make strong margins on upgrades. Design center consultants are skilled at presenting options that maximize the builder's revenue, not your resale value. I help you prioritize the upgrades worth every penny and skip the ones you can add later for a fraction of the cost.

Before drywall goes up, I schedule and attend a pre-drywall frame inspection. This is the single best opportunity to catch construction deficiencies. Once the walls are closed, problems become exponentially more expensive to fix. I bring a systematic eye and document everything.

I conduct a thorough final walkthrough before closing so any remaining deficiencies are documented and addressed. This is your last opportunity to ensure your home is delivered to the standard promised in your contract.
