Nico's Specialty

New Construction

The builder's rep works for the builder. Nico works for you, and it costs you nothing.

Why bring your own agent to a builder

The Model Home Is Designed To Sell You

Builders pay the buyer's agent commission. It's already priced in, whether you bring representation or not. Walk in alone and you're negotiating against professionals with nobody in your corner. Walk in with Nico and you get someone who knows which builders are discounting, which communities carry four-figure annual CDD fees, which lots flood, and when the end-of-quarter incentives actually drop.

What Nico checks before you sign

The New-Build Checklist

CDD Fees, Verified in the MLS

Community Development District fees can add thousands per year, and the blogs get them wrong constantly. Nico verifies CDD status against the MLS record on every single community. It's the only source that's actually reliable.

Incentives & Rate Buydowns

Closing cost credits, rate buydowns, design center dollars. Builder incentives change monthly and are always negotiable at the right moment. Timing the contract matters as much as the base price.

Lot Selection & Premiums

Water view or retention pond? Preserve lot or future road? Nico walks the community, reads the plat, and tells you which lot premiums are worth paying and which are pure margin.

Independent Inspections

Yes, you should inspect a brand-new home, at pre-drywall and again before closing. Nico coordinates inspectors who work new builds and knows what builders will actually fix.

Contract Review Support

Builder contracts are written by the builder's attorneys, for the builder. Nico flags the deposit structure, escalation clauses, and completion timelines before you're locked in.

Remote-Buyer Friendly

Relocating from out of state? Nico video-tours models, walks your homesite on camera, and attends builder meetings on your behalf until you get here.
