Buying new construction? Have someone in your corner.
The friendly agent in the model home works for the builder. I work for you — from the first site visit to the final walkthrough. And I've been through it myself.
Why work with me on a new build
I haven't just sold new construction — I've lived it
I've personally bought new-construction condos and several single-family homes as they came up across Naples, and I've been through the entire process as a buyer myself — including with builders like GL Homes and Lennar. I know what it feels like to choose a lot, sit at the design center, watch the price climb, and wait out the build.
That experience is exactly what I bring to my clients — across every builder and community, not just the ones I've owned in. New construction looks simple from the model home. It isn't. Having an advocate who's done it before, and who works for you, changes the outcome.
What I actually do
From site visit to closing — handled
Lot & homesite selection
Which lots are worth the premium, which orientations and views hold value, and which homesite you need now if you ever want a pool.
Design-center & option consulting
What to upgrade at the builder vs. do cheaper after closing — the difference can be $15,000–$25,000.
Price & incentive strategy
Builders rarely cut base price, but they offer credits and incentives. I know where the levers are and when to pull them.
Personal accompaniment
I go with you to the model and the design center — an advocate in the room, not just a friendly sales rep who works for the builder.
Construction-progress updates
Site visits and updates through the build, plus a real pre-drywall and final walkthrough so issues get caught early.
Deep neighborhood insight
Which communities fit your life, what the fees really are, and how each builder and floor plan resells.
