New construction
A new home, with a clear understanding of the details.
A model home shows the possibilities. Your purchase also involves the homesite, included features, upgrade costs, builder paperwork, financing, and a completion timeline. Valentina helps you organize those decisions before you commit.
Before choosing a home
- Compare available communities, floor plans, homesites, move-in-ready homes, and homes still being built.
- Separate standard features from model-home upgrades, and ask about appliances, landscaping, blinds, and other items that affect your budget.
- Review the total price and ask how available incentives compare with lender terms and closing costs. Offers and eligibility vary by builder and lender.
From contract to move-in
- Organize questions about deposits, financing, appraisal, anticipated completion, and what happens if the schedule changes.
- Coordinate inspection conversations, walkthroughs, punch-list items, and warranty information.
- Discuss ongoing ownership expenses, including HOA dues and the possibility that property taxes change after a completed home is assessed.

Questions you may have
What should I compare beyond the model home?
Ask about included features, upgrade costs, the homesite, total price, financing incentives, completion timing, inspections, and warranty information. Features and incentives vary by builder and lender.
When should I contact a broker about a builder visit?
Contact Valentina before visiting so you can discuss representation and the builder’s registration process. Ask how that builder handles registration before relying on an assumption.
How do I compare two builders’ offers?
Ask for a written breakdown of the home price, included features, selected upgrades and any offered incentives. Review the conditions attached to credits, the proposed completion date and the inspection and warranty information. Have your lender compare financing options using the same assumptions.
What if I need to move before a home is finished?
Tell Valentina your required move-in date at the start. Ask each builder what is complete, what remains and how changes to the schedule are handled in the proposed agreement. Discuss a backup housing plan before relying on an estimated completion date.
