How I guide a new construction purchase
- The brief. A short call on budget, timing, must haves and towns. I bring the current projects and the ones coming soon.
- The short list. Tours of the projects that truly fit, with honest notes on location, layout, finishes and builder track record.
- The numbers. Base price, upgrades, closing costs, common charges or HOA, taxes and any abatement, side by side.
- The contract. Deposit and escrow terms, completion dates, delay clauses, upgrade pricing and walk through rights, reviewed with your attorney.
- Through closing. Construction updates, the final walk through and the punch list, until you have the keys.
Before you sign: the new construction checklist

Yes. Through The Garay Team and SERHANT. I often hear about projects before they launch, and I share them with my clients first.
