Community-by-community guidance on new homes — floor plans, incentives, timelines, and the neighborhoods that fit your life.

My practice is intentionally narrow so every client gets the depth of a specialist — with the full Nubuild platform for anything outside my primary focus.
Compare more than the base price — builders, incentives, timelines, and value.
A guided path from pre-approval to keys.
Coordinated moves between markets with one team.
Buying new isn't just picking a lot and a floor plan. It's comparing builders, communities, incentives, timelines, and total ownership value with someone whose only job is representing your interests.
Current awareness of builder incentives, rate buydowns, and closing-cost programs — and when they're actually worth taking.
A clear framework for comparing communities, inventory homes, model homes, and floor plans against how you actually live.
The builder's rep works for the builder. Your advisor works for you — on contract, options, timelines, and inspections.
Structured walkthroughs, warranty expectations, and the questions most first-time new-home buyers don't know to ask.
Understand your budget, timing, must-haves, and the lifestyle you're building around.
Shortlist builders, communities, and floor plans that actually fit — not just what's being marketed.
Structure incentives, upgrades, and terms with the builder in the buyer's favor.
Manage design center, inspections, and construction milestones through delivery.
Coordinate walkthrough, closing, and the handoff into warranty.
The builder's sales representative works for the builder. Your advisor works for you.
