The builder's contract is not the state resale contract
Builder purchase agreements are written by the builder. Deposits, timelines, changes, and remedies work differently — read carefully and ask questions before signing. Legal questions belong with an attorney.
The on-site sales team works for the builder. Independent representation costs you nothing extra in most builder arrangements and gives you an advocate.
Inspections still matter
New homes benefit from independent inspections at key construction phases and before warranty expiration.
