New construction

Buying a brand-new home? Have your own agent on your side.

I help buyers with new construction homes from builders like D.R. Horton in Lehigh Acres, LaBelle, Clewiston, and nearby. The builder's sales office works for the builder. I work for you.

Builder incentives

Builders often offer buyer incentives

D.R. Horton and other builders often offer incentives to buyers. These can include:

  • Help with closing costs
  • A lower interest rate through the builder's lender

Incentives are often tied to using the builder's lender. I'll help you understand what you're getting, so you can compare it with other options.

Incentives vary by builder and home, and change often. Ask me what's available now.

Before you visit a model home

Call me before your first visit.

Many builders require your agent to come along, or be named, on your very first visit to the sales office. If not, they may not let me represent you later.

  • Bring me along to the model home
  • Or give them my name: Ofelia Castillo, Pink Seal Realty

Step by step

How buying a new build works with me

Building or buying new is a little different from buying a resale home. Here's what to expect.

  1. We talk first

    What you want, your budget, and your timeline. Then we plan which builders and communities to see.

  2. Get pre-approved

    Know your numbers before you fall in love with a floor plan. We'll also look at what the builder's lender offers.

  3. Pick the home, plan, and lot

    We visit models together and compare floor plans, lots, options, and incentives.

  4. Contract and deposits

    Builder contracts are their own forms. I'll go over the key points with you before you sign.

  5. During construction

    I keep an eye on the timeline and keep you updated. Many buyers also hire their own home inspector, even on a new home.

  6. Final walk-through and closing

    We walk the home together before closing and note anything that needs fixing. After closing, I'll help you know who to call about the builder's warranty.

Builders

Builders I work with

I mainly work with D.R. Horton communities in the area, and I can help with other builders too. Ask me which communities have homes ready now and which are still being built.
