Before you go to the model home, let's talk for 20 minutes: many builders ask that your agent come with you or register you from your first visit.
Book my 20-minute callBefore Sully can accompany you to a model home, she signs a written agreement with you first (Texas law since 2026). The call comes with no commitment.

- The MUD, the PID and the HOA vary by section and by lot: ask for the figures for the lot you like.
- Ask for the MUD or PID notice before you sign.
Before you visit the model home
The model-home salesperson works for the builder. These questions look after your side; get the answers in writing.
What is your rule for working with my agent?
Many builders ask that your agent come with you or register you on the first visit. Ask their rule before you leave your details.
Can the PID be paid off at once?
Some PIDs let you pay the balance and stop the yearly charge. Ask the balance and how many years are left.
What does the incentive ask in return?
Many incentives depend on using the builder's lender. You can choose the title company. Compare before you accept.
