🏗️ New construction & builders

Custom on acreage — the standard — build to suit on your own parcel

No production subdivisions — Franktown stays rural; new homes are custom, not tract

💡 Buying new construction? Have me represent you — usually at no cost to you

In many builder communities the builder will often cover your agent's commission, so it's usually free to you — but you generally must register me as your agent on your first visit, before you tour. Then I negotiate price, incentives, upgrades and contract terms on your side.
