Your New Construction Specialist
Springfield, Dayton, Columbus and Surrounding Areas
Buying a new construction home is exciting, but it comes with unique complexities that resale homes don't have. As a Realtor with experience in appraisal management and an MBA, I bring specialized expertise in property valuations, construction quality assessment, and strategic contract negotiation that protects your investment and maximizes your value with Ohio's top builders.
Why You Need a New Construction Specialist
Many buyers assume they don't need representation when buying new construction. The reality is that builder sales agents work for the builder, not you. I work exclusively for you, ensuring:
Fair pricing based on true market values
Strategic negotiation of builder incentives
Protection throughout the construction process
Quality oversight and timeline management
Post-closing support for warranty issues
What Makes Me Different
-
With experience evaluating property values and construction quality, I understand what your new home is truly worth in the market and can identify potential quality issues before they become problems.
-
I've built strong working relationships with Springfield, Dayton, and Columbus area builders, which means smoother transactions and better outcomes for my clients.
-
Builder contracts are often lengthy and favor the builder. I review every detail, negotiate on your behalf, and ensure you understand exactly what you're signing.
-
From foundation to finish, I know what quality construction looks like. I attend walkthroughs with you and catch issues that untrained eyes might miss.

I'm available for warranty questions, help with any issues, and future real estate needs.
2. Builder & Community Selection
I'll introduce you to builders and communities that match your criteria, explaining each builder's reputation, typical timelines, and common incentives.
4. Contract Negotiation
I'll review the builder contract, negotiate price and incentives, and ensure you're protected throughout the build.
6. Final Walkthrough & Closing
We'll complete a detailed final walkthrough, create a punch list, and ensure everything is completed to your satisfaction before closing.

Common New Construction Questions
Do I really need a Realtor for new construction?
Absolutely. Builder sales agents represent the builder's interests. I represent yours, at no cost to you (the builder pays my commission).
Can you negotiate the price on new construction?
Yes! While base prices may be less flexible, I negotiate incentives, upgrades, closing costs, and included features.
How long does new construction take?
Timelines vary by builder and market conditions, typically 4-8 months for custom builds, sometimes shorter for spec homes.
What about resale value?
My appraisal background helps ensure you're buying in the right location at the right price. I also guide you on which upgrades add value.
What type of new construction interests you?
Many new construction homes sell before they hit public sites. I can get you:
✓ Pre-release access to new communities
