Buying New Construction: How To Save Money 

Let’s start by demystifying something. You do not save money by buying a new construction home directly with the builder. Why? By lowering the price of a home, builders are effectively reducing the value of their own comps in the future. They just don’t do it.

How do you protect your own interest and save money?

  • Work with an expert realtor/negotiator, such as the Glass House team. Our team of talented and qualified master negotiators keep your best interest in mind, providing a full-service experience from contract to close. Glass House has sold nearly 100 new construction homes, so you know that we are a trusted resource for new construction home buyers.

  • When you work with Glass House, our commission is rebated back to you at a rate over 1%; typically, homeowners can expect to receive up to 1.5% back. For instance, if you buy a million dollar home, you can generally expect to receive up to $15,000 of our commission refunded to you.
