Bringing your own agent to the builder, so someone at the table is looking out for you.
New construction in the Sheaborhood: what to expect
The Sheaborhood is an established area, so large new-home communities are not what you will find here. What you may find are extensively remodeled homes and occasional rebuilds on existing lots. If a brand-new home is your priority, it helps to compare those with builder communities elsewhere in North Phoenix.
Remodel, rebuild or new build?
A remodeled older home can offer a larger lot and mature trees with updated finishes. A new build offers a warranty and new systems. We compare what each gives you and what each costs over time. For a remodeled home, we check permits and the quality of the work.
If you visit a builder
Talk with me before your first model-home visit, since many builders have rules about when your own agent must be introduced. I am an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty. More: new construction.
