The builder has an agent. You should too.

Buying a new construction home feels straightforward, you pick a lot, choose your finishes, sign the contract, and wait for the keys. But there's something most buyers don't realize until it's too late: the agent at the builder's sales office represents the builder, not you.

​

That's not a criticism. It's just the reality. Their job is to protect the builder's interests. Mark's job is to protect yours.

What buyer representation actually means in new construction

 

New construction contracts are written by the builder's legal team. They're designed to favor the builder, on timelines, change orders, warranties, and what happens when something goes wrong. Having an agent in your corner means someone is reading that contract with your interests in mind, not the builder's.

​

Mark has worked alongside builders and developers across Central Indiana. He understands how these deals are structured, where there's room to negotiate, and what questions to ask before you sign anything.

What Mark does for new construction buyers

​

• Coordinates builder tours Not sure which builders are worth your time? Mark knows the Central Indiana new construction market and can put together a tour that matches your budget, preferred locations, and must-haves, so you're not walking into sales offices blind.

​​

• Reviews your contract before you sign Builder contracts are long and detailed. Mark walks you through what you're agreeing to, including clauses that could cost you if the project runs long or materials change.

​

• Negotiates on your behalf Builders negotiate more than most buyers realize, on upgrades, closing costs, and sometimes price. Mark knows what's actually moveable and how to ask.

​​

• Attends walkthroughs with you Pre-drywall and final walkthrough inspections are your best opportunities to catch problems. Mark knows what to look for and how to document it.

​​

• Keeps the timeline honest New construction timelines slip. Mark stays in communication with the builder throughout the process so you're not left guessing where your home stands.

​​

• Coordinates your financing timeline Getting financing right on a new build is different from a resale. Mark works with your lender to make sure your rate lock, closing date, and build schedule are aligned.

​

​

You can use your own agent, at no cost to you

​

Builder commissions are built into the price of the home. Bringing your own agent doesn't cost you more. It just means you have someone in the room who works for you.
