STEP FIVE

Buy or Build

Step Five occurs when relocation makes sense financially and emotionally. And the Discovery Trip confirms Austin is the place to build the next chapter of your life. When you're ready, Austin is here for you to explore!

This is the step that requires the most skill and experience. A great real estate agent is knowledgeable about mortgage financing, and construction, and is a good listener, communicator, negotiator, and project manager. 

Major steps for new construction include:

• Mortgage preapproval
• Purchase contract negotiations
• Design center appointment
• Pre-construction meeting
• Construction progress communications and videos
• Pre-drywall meeting
• Homeowner orientation
• Punchlist
• Signing documents

Relocation often means we are attending on behalf of our out-of-state clients and/or coordinating Face-time calls.

In addition to all the technical steps, we always keep in mind there is an excited family who is eager to see their new home. Our construction progress videos are often the highlight of their week.
