Do I have to pay for a Realtor when buying a new construction home?

In most cases, no. The builder typically pays the buyer's Realtor commission whether or not you bring your own representation, so there's little downside to having someone advocate for you.

Can I negotiate the price on a spec home?

Sometimes. It depends on how long the home has been sitting and the builder's current incentives, but there's often more room to negotiate — on price, upgrades, or closing costs — than the posted price suggests.

How long does a full custom build take?

It varies by builder and scope, but most full custom builds in the Edmonton area take somewhere between 8 and 18 months from contract to possession.

Can you help me find a lot as well as a builder?

Yes — we can help you evaluate lots, whether you're purchasing one directly or working through a builder who controls their own inventory.

What's the difference between working with a builder's sales rep and working with my own Realtor?

A builder's sales rep represents the builder's interests in the transaction. Your own Realtor represents you — reviewing the contract, flagging concerns, and negotiating on your behalf, generally at no cost to you.

Should I get pre-approved before looking at new construction?

Yes. New builds often involve deposit structures and rate-hold timing that differ from a resale purchase, so it helps to know your numbers — and have the right financing structure in place — before you commit to a builder or a lot. Our team can work with you from pre-approval through the whole process.
