Walk the model. Ask the next question.

Agree on the questions and people involved before you tour.

• Discuss your priorities, timing and representation with Justin.
• Ask the builder about visitor registration and agent registration procedures.
• Know which documents you are being asked to sign and ask for time to review them.

Ask for a written description of the home and lot you are considering.

• Identify included features versus displayed upgrades and optional selections.
• Ask for written base-price, lot-premium and option details for the actual home.
• Request the conditions and expiration dates of any advertised incentive.

The community and finished home each have details to research.

• Request HOA rules, fees, district assessments and any other community charges.
• Ask about utility service, maintenance responsibilities and planned amenities.
• Research taxes for the completed home and address-specific insurance.

Build your plan around the written contract and its unanswered questions.

• Review deposit requirements, refund conditions and selection deadlines.
• Ask how completion dates, delays and change requests are handled.
• Discuss financing conditions and seek professional review of terms you do not understand.

Confirm access and communication while there is time to plan.

• Ask when independent inspections are permitted and how to arrange access.
• Clarify construction updates, walkthroughs and the process for reporting concerns.
• Request written warranty information and the process for service requests.

Look beyond the walkthrough to the first days in the home.

• Ask how unfinished work or punch-list items are documented and followed up.
• Confirm possession, keys, utility connections and any access requirements.
• Keep manuals, warranty contacts and important handoff documents together.
