Buying Guide
How buying a Metro Atlanta home works.
From pre-approval to closing, here is the process Greg guides buyers through, with a focus on new-construction communities where his team has deep experience.
The Process
Six steps to your new home.
Get Pre-Approved
A lender reviews your income, credit, and debts to set a realistic budget. Greg connects you with lenders who know Metro Atlanta and builder financing.
Define What You Need
Location, schools, commute, size, and timeline. For Greg’s buyers, that usually means a new-construction community in the right corridor.
Compare Communities & Homes
New construction is priced by the builder, so the comparison is about incentives, finishes, lot premiums, and completion timelines.
Negotiate the Contract
Price may be fixed, but incentives, upgrades, closing costs, and contingencies are not. Greg reviews every clause before you sign.
Inspect & Walk Through
Pre-drywall inspections and a detailed final walkthrough catch issues before closing, not after.
Close
Final documents, funding, and keys. Greg attends closing with you so the details match the contract.
Buyer Tips
Six things every buyer should know.
The details that separate a smooth purchase from an expensive surprise.
First-time buyer hubYour pre-approval is your budget. Do not shop homes before you know your number.
Ask every builder for the full incentive package in writing before you compare communities.
A pre-drywall inspection is worth the cost. It is the only time you can see behind the walls.
Read the warranty terms: what is covered, for how long, and who to call.
Confirm the completion timeline and what happens if it slips before you sign.
Use a buyer’s agent. In most new-construction sales, the builder pays the commission.
