The free buyer's guide

What Nobody Tells You About Buying New Construction in Pflugerville and Hutto: everything I explain to clients on the drive to the first model home, written down. 11 pages, free.

What is inside

  1. MUD and PID fees, decoded1

    How to find a community's rate in five minutes, what it adds to the payment, and how long it lasts.

  2. The builder's lender is not always the best deal2

    What a preferred-lender credit is really buying, and how to compare an outside loan estimate on the same lock date.

  3. How incentives actually work3

    Permanent buydowns, 2/1 temporary buydowns and ARMs, what each is worth in dollars, and the strings attached.

  4. What a buyer's agent costs you4

    Nothing. Who pays, why the builder budgets for it either way, and what changes if you walk in unrepresented.

  5. 19 communities side by side5

    Price band, builders, HOA, district, all-in tax rate, schools and commute.

  6. The questions to ask at the model6

    A one-page checklist to take with you.

Who it is for

Buyers looking at new construction in Pflugerville, Hutto or the northeast Austin ring who want the whole payment before they fall for a model home: first-time buyers, people relocating for Samsung Taylor or the Domain, and move-up buyers who have never bought from a builder.
