Buyer representation

New Construction Realtor in San Marcos

I represent buyers purchasing new construction in San Marcos between Austin and San Antonio. Builder reps work for the builder; I work for you, and the builder pays my fee.

Why you want your own agent for new construction in San Marcos

The sales representative in the model home works for the builder. They're pleasant, knowledgeable and paid to protect the builder's price and contract terms. As your agent I represent only you — comparing communities, pushing on incentives, reading the contract and tracking construction — and in nearly every case the builder pays the buyer-side commission, so my representation costs you nothing.

Register me on your very first visit

This is the rule that costs San Marcos buyers money. Builders require your agent to be present or named on your first visit to a community. Walk in alone and you can lose representation in that community entirely — with no discount in return. One text before you tour protects you.

What I actually do for you

Shortlist communities that fit your commute, schools and budget. Compare builder quality, warranties and standard features. Model the true monthly cost including MUD, PID and county tax rates. Negotiate rate buydowns, closing costs and design allowances. Review the builder contract before you sign. Schedule third-party pre-drywall and final inspections. Ride the punch list and warranty window after closing.

New construction vs. resale right now

Builders in San Marcos are competing with rate buydowns and closing-cost credits that resale sellers usually can't match, and standing inventory at quarter-end is where the real discounts live. Whether that beats a resale home depends on your timeline, the community's tax rate and how long you plan to stay — that's the conversation I have with every client before we tour anything.
