Builder-direct new construction — from first-time-buyer townhomes to custom luxury. I represent you, not the builder.
The friendly person at the sales desk is a licensed agent who works for the builder. They are not neutral, and they are not yours. Their job is to protect the builder's price, the builder's contract, and the builder's timeline.
Here's the part that costs people money: at almost every builder, if you walk in alone and sign the visitor card without your agent, you can be locked out of having representation on that community — permanently. Not for that visit. For that community.
I work across every builder in the metro, but one relationship goes deeper than the rest.
Third-generation luxury new construction
A family builder three generations deep, building luxury new construction across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. I'm their listing agent and their partner — which means I see lots, floor plans, and pricing before any of it reaches the MLS.
What that's worth to you: presale access at presale pricing, the ability to still choose your lot, and real input on finishes instead of picking from whatever's left. On a new build, being early is the whole game.
Who builds what, and where, across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. I can represent you at any of them — same terms, no cost to you.
Entry to mid
The largest homebuilder in America and the volume leader across Metro Atlanta. Efficient plans, aggressive pricing, and the builder most likely to pair with down payment assistance.
Entry to move-up
Townhomes and single-family across the outer ring. Strong on floor plan variety at the first-time and second-time buyer price points.
Luxury
National luxury builder with a deep design-studio process — you'll make more choices here than anywhere else. Larger homesites, higher-end standard finishes.
Entry to move-up
Atlanta-based and intown-focused. One of the better options if you want new construction without leaving the perimeter — a genuinely different footprint from the national builders.
Entry to luxury
Known for the "Everything's Included" model — finishes bundled into base price rather than sold as upgrades. Simpler to compare, harder to customize.
Entry to luxury
Three brands, three buyers: Centex for entry, Pulte for move-up, Del Webb for 55+ active adult. Del Webb communities are worth knowing about early — they sell differently.
Move-up to luxury
Atlanta-headquartered with a design reputation a real step above the volume builders. Their studio process is a genuine differentiator if finishes matter to you.
Move-up to luxury
Consistently top-rated for customer service and warranty follow-through. If the horror stories about builder warranties worry you, this is the name to look at.
Move-up to luxury
Green Brick's Atlanta brand. Strong in walkable, higher-density luxury — townhomes and estate homes in the north metro corridor.
Move-up
Local family builder, decades in the north metro. Bigger square footage per dollar than most national builders in the same corridor.
Move-up
Cobb-based and family-owned since the 1970s. Deep local land relationships mean infill locations the national builders can't get.
Entry to move-up
Georgia builder focused squarely on value in the west and south metro. Frequently the strongest dollar-per-square-foot in their submarkets.
Move-up
Local builder with a reputation for finish quality above their price bracket. Smaller communities, which some buyers strongly prefer.
Entry
Woodstock-based, built specifically around first-time and budget-conscious buyers. One of the most realistic paths to a brand-new home under the metro median.
Entry to move-up
National builder with quick move-in inventory almost always on hand — the one to check when your timeline is short.
Entry to move-up
Builds every home to a high energy-efficiency standard as a baseline. If your monthly cost matters more than your purchase price, run those numbers.
Move-up to luxury
Well-regarded design studio and a smoother-than-average build process. Solid middle ground between volume pricing and custom feel.
Move-up to luxury
Intown Atlanta specialist. Westside, Grant Park, and surrounding neighborhoods — new construction with actual architectural character.
Don't see the one you're looking at? Send me the community name. I can represent you at essentially any builder in Georgia — and if there's a reason I'd steer you away from one, I'll tell you that too.
Different from resale in almost every way. Here's the honest version.
Budget, area, timeline, and whether you're buying to-be-built or something already standing. This determines which builders are even worth your Saturday.
Builders push their in-house lender hard, usually with incentives attached. Sometimes that's the better deal. Sometimes the incentive is smaller than the rate premium. Get a second quote so you can tell which.
Every single time, before you sign anything. This is the step that protects everything after it.
The lot matters more than people expect — grade, drainage, orientation, what's going in behind you, and whether that "premium" buys you anything real. Some do. Many don't.
We negotiate what's negotiable — usually closing costs, incentives, and upgrades more than base price. At the studio I'll help you separate what adds resale value from what just adds cost.
Typically four to nine months. We do a pre-drywall walkthrough and a final orientation, and I want an independent inspector at both.
Tell me your budget, your area, and when you need to be in. I'll come back with the communities worth your time — and the ones that aren't, which is usually the more useful list.
