    Guide for First-Time New Construction Buyers

    If you’ve never purchased a newly built home, the process may seem overwhelming. That’s why we take the time to explain everything in simple, clear steps.

    Start with the Basics

    ​Types of New Construction Homes

    • Inventory/Spec Homes – Completed or nearly completed; quick move-in.
    • Semi-Custom Homes – Choose a floorplan and personalize finishes.
    • Fully Custom Homes – Designed and built entirely around your vision.

    We’ll help you understand the differences so you can choose the best fit for your budget, timeline, and lifestyle.

    Why You Need Representation

    • Contracts, timelines, and contingencies
    • Upgrade vs. structural investment choices
    • Neighborhood comps and pricing strategy
    • Builder incentives and negotiating opportunities
    • Inspection options and construction milestones


    You pay nothing for our representation. Builders compensate us to support you.

    Understanding the Build Process

    We guide you through each milestone:


    • Lot selection and contract review
    • Pre-construction meeting
    • Foundation and framing stages
    • Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation
    • Drywall and interior finish stage
    • Builder and third-party inspections

    Warranties Bring Peace of Mind

    Most builders include:

    • 1-year workmanship warranty
    • 2-year systems warranty
    • 10-year structural warranty

    We help you understand what is covered — and how to use your warranty.

    Guide for Experienced New Construction Buyers

    Even if you've built before, each builder, community, and market cycle is different. Working with The Nestwell Group ensures you make highly strategic decisions.

    Builder Evaluation & Due Diligence

    We help you compare builders based on:

    • Quality of construction
    • Reputation and warranty responsiveness
    • Standard features vs. upgrades
    • Architectural controls & lot requirements
    • Build timelines and change-order policies

    Our experience working with builders gives you an advantage.

    Maximizing Builder Incentives

    We help you secure the most favorable terms, including:

    • Interest rate buy-downs
    • Closing cost credits
    • Appliance packages
    • Design upgrades
    • Lot premium reductions
    • Extended warranties


    Our relationships often open doors to incentives which are not widely advertised.

    Smart Upgrade & Structural Choices

    We guide you in understanding what adds value and what doesn’t:

    • Structural upgrades offer long-term ROI (Return on Investment)
    • Cosmetic upgrades are often cheaper after closing
    • Pre-planned electrical and plumbing additions can save thousands later


    Examples of high-ROI upgrades:


    ✔ Additional bedrooms/flex rooms
    ✔ Extended patios
    ✔ Energy-efficient systems
    ✔ Window and slider upgrades
    ✔ Electrical enhancements

    Avoiding Common Mistakes

    Even experienced buyers can hit snags with:

    • Builder delays affecting home sale timelines
    • Over-improving compared to community values
    • Incorrect assumptions about lot grading or setbacks
    • Change-order limitations
    • Underestimating design-center costs

    We keep your investment strategic and protected.
