Buying a new build home in Justin means modern layouts, energy-efficient construction, and the opportunity to customize finishes—all in a growing community with strong schools and affordable land. But new construction operates under builder-controlled contracts, strict timelines, and incentive structures designed to protect the builder's interests. That's why buyer representation is essential from your first model-home visit.
New build homes often offer:
Here's the critical detail most buyers miss: the on-site sales team is helpful and friendly, but they represent the builder, not you. If you tour or register without your own agent, you may lose the ability to have buyer representation—and the negotiation leverage that comes with it.
Pro tip: Even if you've already visited a model home, reach out anyway. Depending on the builder's registration policy, representation may still be possible.

New builds operate differently than resale homes. These answers cover the most common questions buyers ask before touring model homes and signing builder contracts.
Visiting a builder and signing in without their own agent. The builder's on-site rep works for the builder, and some communities won't allow buyer-agent representation if you don't register correctly on the first visit.
Often yes—especially on quick move-in homes or around month/quarter-end. Incentives frequently require using a preferred lender. A buyer's agent helps you compare the incentive to the true loan cost.
Quick move-ins can close faster and sometimes include stronger incentives. Building from scratch offers more customization but takes longer. The right choice depends on timeline, budget, and how much personalization you want.
Yes. Many buyers do a pre-drywall inspection (when allowed) and a final inspection before closing. "New" doesn't automatically mean "perfect."
No. The on-site rep represents the builder. Your agent represents you—contract terms, incentives, inspection strategy, timelines, and protecting your best interests through closing.
Lot premiums, structural options, design center upgrades, landscaping/backyard finish-out, and closing costs can add up quickly. We estimate these early so you can shop confidently.
A punch list documents incomplete or defective items found at walkthrough. Clear documentation helps ensure items are addressed before closing (or tracked for post-closing completion).

Builder reps are trained and helpful—but they're not on your side of the table. Let's plan your tours, register you correctly, and keep you protected from day one.
Pro tip: If a builder asks you to "just sign in," pause and contact your agent first. One small step can determine whether you're allowed representation.
Inventory, pricing, incentives, school boundaries, HOA details, and community availability can change quickly. This page is intended to be helpful, but it may not reflect real-time releases or MLS updates. Always verify details during your purchase process, and use professional guidance to confirm timelines, costs, and contract terms.
Touring new construction model homes can feel exciting—but also a little overwhelming. The on-site sales agent is knowledgeable and friendly, but it's important to remember: they represent the builder's interests, not yours.
When you bring your own real estate agent, you gain a calm, experienced guide who helps keep the conversation balanced, explains builder language clearly, and ensures your priorities stay front and center—without pressure or intimidation.
Think of your agent as your professional advocate—there to level the playing field and help you make confident, informed decisions throughout the new-build process.
Pro tip: Even if you've already visited a model home, reach out anyway. Depending on the builder's registration policy, representation may still be possible.
| Decision Point | Builder Sales Rep | Your Real Estate Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Contract terms | Uses builder contract designed to protect builder | Explains clauses, deadlines, deposits, and risk points |

| Lot selection | Shows available lots | Evaluates location, noise, sun exposure, and resale factors |
| Upgrades | Sells upgrade packages | Helps prioritize ROI upgrades vs. “pretty but pricey” choices |
| Inspections | May discourage extra inspections | Encourages phased inspections + punch list accountability |
