Everything you need to buy new construction with confidence — and avoid the mistakes most buyers make.

Builder sales reps are trained professionals who represent the builder, not you. This toolkit gives you the knowledge, tools, and word-for-word scripts to walk into any sales office prepared, protected, and in control.

What's included (3 files, instant download):

new-construction-buyers-toolkit.pdf — A complete 25-page guide covering everything from pre-builder preparation through closing. Includes the Builder Contract Red-Flag Checklist, Upgrade ROI explainer, Lot Scorecard criteria, Negotiation Script, and 12 Questions to Ask Before You Sign.

upgrade-roi-calculator.xlsx — An interactive spreadsheet pre-loaded with 15 common builder upgrades. Enter your builder's prices and it instantly calculates the markup and tells you YES, MAYBE, or NO for each upgrade. Saves most buyers thousands at the design center.

lot-selection-scorecard.xlsx — A 20-point scoring tool with plain-language anchors so you can evaluate any lot without a real estate background. Includes a side-by-side comparison tab to put two finalists head to head.

Who this is for: First-time new construction buyers, move-up buyers, and anyone who wants to understand what they're signing before they sign it.

Important: Buyer representation for new construction is completely free to you — the builder pays your agent's commission. If you're purchasing in the Shenandoah Valley, Northern Virginia, or the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, reach out to Shane before your first builder visit. Outside his area? He'll connect you with a vetted specialist in your market at no cost.
