New Construction
Build smart. Bring your own REALTOR®.
The sales agent in the model home works for the builder. I work for you — same price, very different outcome.
Why representation matters
Where I add real value

Drainage, sun, traffic, future builds, and resale impact.
Contract review
The builder's contract is written for the builder. Let's read it carefully.
Upgrades worth it
Where to spend, where to skip, and what's structural vs. cosmetic.
Independent inspections
Pre-drywall, pre-close, and final — even on new builds.
Warranty walk
Punch list, follow-through, and warranty claims after move-in.
Community know-how
Cane Bay, Nexton, Carnes Crossroads, and surrounding builds.
Common questions
Honest answers, no scripts
Why do I need my own agent if the builder has one?+
The sales agent in the model home is paid by — and works for — the builder. I represent you. Same home, same price, very different outcome at the negotiating table and during inspections.
Does it cost more to bring my own agent?+
No. The builder's marketing budget already accounts for buyer representation. Bringing me costs you nothing extra in nearly every case.
When should I register Jess as my agent?+
On your very first visit to any model home or community sales office — before signing in. Once you've registered with the builder unrepresented, it's hard to add representation back.
Do you do inspections on new builds?+
Yes — pre-drywall, pre-closing, and 11-month warranty. New construction isn't perfect, and a third-party inspector is worth every dollar.
