⚠️ Don’t Visit the Builder Alone
The builder’s sales representative works for the builder. Your own real estate agent can help you compare incentives, contracts, upgrade costs, inspections, and long-term resale considerations.
Some builders may also require your agent to accompany and register you during your first visit. Contact your agent before touring a model home.
