New Construction FAQs
Do I need a Realtor to buy a new construction home in Greenville, SC?
You aren't required to have one, but it's a smart move. The builder's sales consultant represents the builder. Your own Realtor represents you by comparing incentives, helping you understand the builder's purchase agreement, attending inspections and walk-throughs, and following up on repairs. I do this for new construction buyers in Greenville County and Spartanburg County from the first model tour through closing.
Can I bring my own agent to a builder's sales office or model home?
Yes. Builders in the Upstate commonly work with buyer's agents, but many have a registration policy that requires your agent to come with you, or register you, on your first visit. Before you stop by a model home in Simpsonville, Greer or anywhere else, call or text me so I can register you or meet you there.
What happens if I visit a model home before I contact an agent?
It depends on the builder. Some will still let you add an agent if you do it quickly, and others won't allow it for that community once you've registered on your own. If you've already visited a sales office, contact me and I'll check that builder's policy with you.
What builder incentives are available in the Upstate?
Common builder incentives in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties include mortgage rate buy-downs, help with closing costs, and design or upgrade credits. Offers change often and vary by builder, community and closing date, and many require using the builder's preferred lender. Contact me for the current incentives in the areas you're considering.
What is a rate buy-down on a new construction home?
A rate buy-down lowers your mortgage interest rate, often paid for by the builder as an incentive. A temporary buy-down, such as a 2-1, lowers the rate for the first one or two years. A permanent buy-down lowers it for the life of the loan. I help you compare a buy-down's value against other incentives, such as closing cost help.
What is a pre-drywall inspection, and is it worth it on a new build?
A pre-drywall inspection happens after the framing, wiring, plumbing and ductwork are in, but before the walls are closed. It's the last chance to see those systems before they're covered. Builders do their own checks, and an independent inspection adds a second set of eyes. I attend these inspections with my clients.
What is a blue tape walk-through?
A blue tape walk-through is a walk of the nearly finished home with the builder, where you mark cosmetic issues like paint touch-ups, scuffs or nail pops with blue painter's tape. The builder fixes those items before closing, and the final walk-through confirms the work is done.
How do I buy a new construction home from out of state?
Start with an agent who can be on site when you can't. I attend the pre-drywall inspection, blue tape walk-through, final inspection and final walk-through in person, and I keep you updated at each stage. That way you can buy a new build in the Upstate, whether you're settling in Greenville or Anderson, without flying in for every milestone.
Can I sell my current home while buying a new construction home?
Yes, and timing is the key. Build schedules can shift, so the sale of your current home should be planned around the builder's estimated completion date. Because I represent both buyers and sellers, I can handle your sale and your new build together and keep both timelines lined up.
Can I use a VA loan to buy new construction in South Carolina?
Yes. VA loans can be used on new construction homes when the home meets VA requirements and the builder works with VA financing. VA has its own limits on seller and builder concessions, so it's worth comparing each builder's incentives with your lender before choosing a home. I'll help you do that.
