Before You Visit a Builder

Model homes are designed to impress. A few questions help you compare offers clearly.

New or resale

Before the first visit

Planning to tour builder models? Ask about their agent-registration policies before your first visit if you’re considering representation.

New or resale

Questions to ask

  • What is included in the base price, and what in the model is an upgrade?
  • What is the premium for the homesite I like, and why?
  • What incentives are available, and do they require your lender or title company?
  • What is the estimated completion date, and what could change it?
  • Which inspections can I schedule during construction?
  • What does the warranty cover, and for how long?
  • What are the HOA and CDD amounts for this phase?

New or resale

Compare like with like

Ask each builder for a written price on the same kind of home with the options you actually want. That finished number is the one to compare.
