New Construction

Buying new construction, the smart way.

New homes come with fixed pricing, builder incentives, and a warranty, but the contract favors the builder unless someone reads it for you. Greg's team specializes in new-construction buyers across South Fulton and Metro Atlanta.

Why New Construction

A brand-new home, with someone on your side.

New construction appeals to buyers who want modern efficiency, a builder warranty, and the chance to make a home their own. It also comes with a contract written by the builder, incentives that are only as good as what is in writing, and a construction timeline that can slip.

That is why Greg's team specializes in new-construction buyers. They know the South Fulton and Metro Atlanta communities, the builders, and the questions to ask before you sign.

The Process

Five steps from pre-approval to keys.

The new-home buying process looks simple, but each step has details that matter. Here is how Greg guides buyers through it.

01

Get pre-approved first

Your pre-approval sets the budget and tells you which communities and price points are realistic before you visit a sales center.

02

Choose the community and lot

Compare communities on location, schools, commute, amenities, and lot premiums. The lot choice affects both price and resale value.

03

Reserve and negotiate the contract

Review the base price, upgrades, incentives, and completion timeline in writing. Greg negotiates the details with your interests first.

04

Make selections and follow the build

Choose finishes within your budget, and track the build through key milestones. A pre-drywall inspection is worth every dollar.

05

Walk through and close

A final walkthrough catches punch-list items before closing. Greg coordinates the inspection, the walkthrough, and the closing date.

Questions to Ask

Ten questions to ask every builder.

Bring these to the sales center. The answers, and how willingly the builder answers them, tell you a lot about the transaction ahead.

What exactly is included in the base price, and what is an upgrade?

What does each upgrade cost, and which ones add the most resale value?

What is the estimated completion date, and what happens if it slips?

What warranties are included, and what do they cover for the structure, roof, and systems?

Who inspects the home at key milestones, and can I bring my own inspector?

What are the HOA fees, community amenities, and any special assessments?

What are the estimated property taxes for this home and community?

Are there builder incentives, rate buydowns, or closing-cost credits available right now?

What happens to the price if the market changes between contract and closing?

Is the home eligible for FHA or VA financing, or is it cash and conventional only?

Incentives & Lots

Where the real money is decided.

The sticker price is only part of the deal. Incentives, lot premiums, and timelines move the true cost of a new home more than most buyers expect.

Builder incentives

Rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, and free upgrades are common in Metro Atlanta. Greg asks for the full incentive package in writing and negotiates it like any other term.

Lot premiums

Corner lots, cul-de-sacs, and homes backing to green space carry premiums that can add thousands. Greg helps you weigh the premium against the resale payoff.

Inventory vs. pre-sale

Move-in-ready inventory homes and pre-sale builds price differently and close on different timelines. Knowing which fits your move date matters.

Community amenities

Pools, clubhouses, parks, and sidewalks shape both lifestyle and resale demand. Greg compares communities on the amenities you will actually use.
