Builder purchase agreements are prepared for the builder and can differ significantly from standard resale contracts. They may address construction delays, change orders, deposits, financing, and other builder-specific terms. Buyers should understand the agreement and consider appropriate professional review before signing.

Builders may offer rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, or other incentives, sometimes conditioned on using an affiliated or preferred lender. Compare the builder lender with an independent lender using the full loan terms, costs, credits, and available incentives before deciding which financing option best fits your situation.

Flooring, countertops, cabinets, structural options, and other upgrades can materially affect the final purchase price. Compare what is included, what costs extra, and which improvements may make more sense after closing before finalizing selections.

For homes still under construction, an independent new-construction inspection, including a possible pre-drywall inspection, may help identify visible framing, plumbing, electrical, or other concerns before the walls are closed. Inspection access and timing vary by builder and contract, so confirm the builder's procedures early.

Projected completion dates can change because of weather, permitting, labor, materials, inspections, and other construction factors. Review how your builder agreement addresses estimated completion, delays, rate-lock timing, housing plans, and closing-date changes.

When financing a new home, the lender may require an appraisal depending on the loan and transaction. Appraisal requirements and options if the value differs from the contract price depend on the financing program and contract, so review those terms before committing.

Meritage emphasizes energy-efficient construction. Energy features and certifications can vary by home, plan, community, and building program, so review the specifications and documentation for the particular home you are considering.

Meritage homes may include connected-home features depending on the home, plan, community, and current builder package. Confirm the specific devices, services, and included features for the property before relying on them in your purchase decision.

New homes typically include builder warranty coverage, but the scope, duration, exclusions, and claim procedures vary. Review the current written warranty for the specific home rather than relying on a general description.

Compare carefully: interest rate, APR, lender fees, discount points, loan options, lock terms, and any conditions attached to the builder's incentive.

Bottom line: An incentive can be valuable, but the best financing choice depends on the complete terms and your circumstances.

Compare: available loan programs, rates, APR, lender fees, points, closing costs, credits, and qualification requirements from the financing sources available to you.

Why compare: a second financing option can help you evaluate the builder lender's offer and understand the trade-offs between incentives and overall loan terms.

When should I contact Marshawn before visiting a model home?

Before your first visit. Builder registration requirements can vary by company and community, and some builders have specific procedures for recognizing a buyer's real estate agent. Contact Marshawn first so representation and registration requirements can be reviewed before you tour.

Can I still get the builder's incentives if I bring my own agent?

Builder incentives vary by builder, community, home, lender, and promotion. Having a buyer's agent does not by itself determine whether a particular incentive is available, but eligibility and conditions should be confirmed for the specific offer. Marshawn can help you review the current terms before you proceed.

What is a pre-drywall inspection and do I need one?

A pre-drywall inspection is an independent inspection performed before wall coverings are installed, when accessible components may be easier to observe. Whether it is available or appropriate depends on the builder, contract, construction stage, and inspector. Marshawn can help buyers plan for inspection questions and timing.

How long does new construction take in Jacksonville?

Construction timelines vary widely by builder, community, home type, permitting, materials, labor, weather, and whether the home is already underway. Treat projected completion dates as estimates unless your contract states otherwise, and review how delays and closing-date changes are handled.

Should I use the builder's lender?

Compare the builder lender's written offer with other financing options available to you. Builder-affiliated lenders may offer meaningful incentives, but rates, APR, fees, points, credits, loan programs, and conditions should be evaluated together before you decide.

What communities does Marshawn cover for new construction?
