How we help you buy a new home
Builders have their own sales team working for them. We work only for you. Here is what you get when you sign up with us.
Every new home that fits
We search new-construction communities across the Austin, Texas area and show you every community and home in your price range, including quick move-in homes that are ready now.
One place for every conversation
We contact builders and their sales reps for you. Every message we send and every reply we get is in your account, so you never have to wonder what was said.
Negotiation on your side
We have years of experience in the homebuilding industry and understand builders' pressure points, so we negotiate more aggressively on your behalf. You tell us the most you'll pay, privately. We negotiate price, closing costs, upgrades, and rate buydowns, and we never go over your limit without asking you.
Help from contract to closing
We review the builder's contract with you, keep track of deadlines, attend walkthroughs, and follow up on anything left to finish.
What it costs
You pay us nothing. The builder pays 100% of our buyer's agent fee, and we return 65% of that fee to you, either as a credit at the builder's design center or as a reduction in your purchase price. You choose which.
Help with everything around the move
Buying new often means juggling more than the builder. We'll connect you with people we trust for the rest.
Selling your current home
We'll connect you with experienced listing agents who can time your sale with your new home's completion date.
Mortgage lenders
Using the builder's preferred lender usually gets the best incentives, like rate buydowns and closing-cost credits. We'll help you compare it with outside lenders so you know it's a real deal.
Third-party inspectors
Independent inspectors check the home at key stages (foundation, framing, final) and before your warranty ends, so issues get fixed on the builder's dime.
Title, insurance and movers
Need a title company, homeowner's insurance quotes, or movers? Ask and we'll point you to reliable options.
Recommendations are optional. You're always free to choose any provider you like.
Questions
Can I still visit the model homes myself?
Yes. Tell us before your first visit, or bring us along, so the builder registers us as your agent. Some builders won't work with an agent you add after your first visit.
Do I have to sign up to search?
No. Search as much as you like. Sign up when you want us to start talking to builders for you.
Where do the listings come from?
Builder listings across the Austin area. Availability and prices change often, so we confirm the details with the builder before you make a decision.
How much will I get back?
65% of the fee the builder pays us. For example, if the builder pays a 3% fee on a $400,000 home, that fee is $12,000 and you get $7,800 back. Builder fees vary, so we confirm the exact amount in writing before you sign a contract.
Does my lender need to approve the credit?
Yes. Your lender must allow the credit, and it appears on your closing documents. Some loans limit how much credit can go toward your costs, so we work it out with your lender early.
