Warranty
The 1-2-10 warranty in plain English
The headline says ten years of structural coverage. The reality is more nuanced. What's covered, what isn't, and which year-of-ownership actually matters.
New construction
A buyer's reference
New construction looks like a streamlined process — the sales counselor runs the room, prices are on a sheet, the contract is "their standard." That's exactly why understanding what you're signing matters. Here are the things Kaz walks every new-construction client through.
Warranty
Financing
Builder lender vs. your own lender
The builder's rate looks great. The closing-cost credit looks generous. Sometimes both are real wins. Sometimes the rate spread eats it. How to tell.
Decision
New construction vs. resale
An honest comparison by buyer profile. New isn't automatically better, and resale isn't automatically a discount.
HOA
HOA reality check
The headline monthly fee is the smallest part of the story. Reserve studies, special assessments, builder transition. What to ask before signing.
Commission
Who pays the buyer's agent on a new build now?
After the NAR settlement, who pays buyer-side commission changed for resale. New construction mostly didn't. Here's how that conversation actually goes.
