Trusted Guidance
Buying new construction is different from buying an existing home — different contracts, different timelines, different builder relationships. iad agents know how to navigate all of it, so you don't have to learn it on the fly.
From comparing floor plans and lot premiums to understanding what's negotiable with a builder, we help you make informed decisions at every step — not just at closing.
Yes, and it doesn't cost you anything extra. The builder's on-site representative works for the builder — your iad agent works for you, negotiating on your behalf and reviewing the contract in your interest.
Sometimes. While base prices are often firm, there's frequently room to negotiate upgrades, closing cost credits, or incentives — especially with your agent advocating on your behalf.
A spec home is complete or nearly complete and ready to tour, while a pre-construction home is purchased based on floor plans before it's built. Timelines, customization options, and pricing can vary significantly between the two.
Timelines vary by builder and community, but typically range from a few months for a spec home to 6–12+ months for a fully custom build. We'll help you understand realistic timelines before you commit.
It depends on the stage of construction and the builder. Some communities offer extensive design options, while others have limited customization. We'll help you understand what's available before you sign.
Not always — it depends on the market and community. New homes often come with fewer immediate repair costs and modern features, which can offset a higher upfront price.
Beyond finishes and features, you'll want to check for construction quality, unresolved punch-list items, and warranty documentation. Your agent will help you know what to look for before you close.
