Essential advice from an Award Winning Buyer Agent to help you make informed decisions when purchasing a new construction home.
Buying a new construction home in Las Vegas is an exciting journey, but it comes with unique considerations that differ from purchasing an existing home. As an Award Winning Buyer Agent for Beazer Homes, I've helped countless clients navigate this process successfully. Here are my top tips to help you make the best decisions.
This is perhaps the most important tip. Builder contracts are complex and favor the builder. A buyer's agent who specializes in new construction understands these contracts, knows what to negotiate, and can protect your interests—all at no additional cost to you.
As a contracted Beazer Homes agent, I have direct access to current pricing, incentives, and inventory that might not be publicly advertised. I also understand the nuances of the new construction timeline and can help you plan accordingly.
New construction typically takes 4-8 months from contract to closing. If you need to move sooner, ask about "quick move-in" homes that are already under construction or completed.
Factor this timeline into your plans, especially if you're selling a current home or have a lease ending. Delays can happen, so build some flexibility into your timeline.
Pre-approval is essential, especially for new construction. It shows the builder you're serious and helps you understand your budget. I can connect you with lenders experienced in new construction financing who understand the unique requirements.
Keep your pre-approval current (they typically expire after 60-90 days) and don't make major financial changes during the construction period.

Builder upgrades can significantly impact your final price. Prioritize:
Consider doing cosmetic upgrades yourself after closing to save money. I can help you identify which upgrades add the most value.
Builder contracts are very different from traditional real estate contracts and heavily favor the builder. Key items to understand:
As your buyer's agent, I thoroughly review every contract clause and ensure you understand what you're agreeing to. I can also negotiate certain terms to better protect your interests.
You'll typically have walkthroughs at key stages: framing, pre-drywall, and final walkthrough. Attend all of them and bring your buyer's agent. I'll help you:
New construction homes come with builder warranties, but coverage varies by component and timeframe. Understand:
Beazer Homes provides comprehensive warranties on their new construction homes. I'll review all warranty information with you.
Even though it's new construction, always do a final inspection before closing. I'll attend with you to ensure:
