Before you visit
Buying New Construction
Bring Your Realtor on Your First Visit
Many builders ask on day one whether you already have a Realtor, so it helps to have one before you walk in.
Compare the Full Monthly Cost
Taxes, HOA dues, and special district fees can differ a lot between communities, even at the same price.
Ask What Is Included
Find out which finishes are standard and which are upgrades, and get the answer in writing.
Consider Your Own Inspection
A new home can still have issues. An independent inspection is worth thinking about.
Curious About a Community?
Dillon can tell you what is available and what to look for. Questions are always welcome.
