Where do you work?
Every week: Parrish, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Venice and Wellen Park, about forty miles of Florida's Gulf Coast in Manatee and Sarasota counties. For Tampa Bay, St. Pete, Wesley Chapel, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers and Orlando we partner with local agents we trust.
Do you only work with new construction?
New construction homes, new construction communities and condo projects are what we specialize in and what we know best. That includes builder incentives, lot premiums, CDD and HOA fees, and which builders actually deliver on time. See what's being built and what it costs.
How do we get started?
Every conversation starts with the questionnaire. It takes about a minute, tells us your timeline, budget, areas and must-haves, and lets our first reply be specific instead of generic. We follow up personally after it comes in.
I'm moving from out of state. Can you help before I get there?
Yes. Most of the people we work with are relocating to Florida. We run the search, talk directly with the builders, line up private home and community tours for the days you're in town, and keep everything moving between visits. Once you decide on a home, we even handle construction appointments and walk-throughs, inspections and more. Start with the relocation roadmap.
When do buyers get the best new construction deals?
Regardless of your path, the best opportunities for deals, discounts, incentives, below-market rates and more are always on homes that are ready now and can close within 30 to 60 days. That's why we get our buyers pre-approved and planned early, so they're ready when the right move-in-ready home comes up.
Do you work with second-home and vacation-home buyers?
All the time. A second home is financed, insured and taxed differently from the home you live in, and builder incentives are written differently too. We put the whole process, with the numbers, in the second-home roadmap.
Do you also sell resale homes?
Of course. New construction tends to be where all the best opportunities are, though, and it's easier to work with from an insurance and mortgage approval perspective.
What does it cost to work with you as a buyer?
Nothing. We do not charge buyers any commissions or random transaction fees to work with us, and our written agreement with our buyers confirms this. Not all agents can say the same.
Do I need a real estate agent to buy a new construction home?
You don't have to have one, but you should, and with us it costs you nothing. The friendly team in the model home works for the builder. We work for you: the lot, the floor plan, the upgrades worth paying for, the incentives and the contract. Bring us in before your first visit to a sales center, because most builders won't recognize your agent after the fact. Here's how we work.
Will you list my home?
Yes we will. We are selective, though. Too many agents take a listing making promises they can't keep. If we don't think we can sell your home, we won't waste your time convincing you otherwise.
