A new home purchase combines property selection with a construction, financing and delivery plan. Josh Wiser and The Wiser Real Estate Group help buyers organize the questions before choosing a builder or signing a contract.
Compare the complete project
What is included in the base price, and what is an allowance or upgrade?
Which lot costs, utility connections, grading, landscaping and appliances remain outside that price?
What construction milestones and completion dates are contractual?
How will changes, deposits, financing and rate lock timing be handled?
Which inspections can your independent inspector complete, and when?
What does the written warranty cover, and how are service requests handled?
Building on your own land
Coordinate access, zoning, site work, utilities, well and septic questions before assuming a parcel fits the home you want. Start with our land and acreage hub.
Understand representation
Discuss your representation with Josh before visiting model homes or registering with a builder. Review the builder agreement and ask qualified legal and lending professionals about terms that affect your purchase.
