How to Save on New Construction
Sign up and save
We can offer you a fixed flat fee. If the builder ends up paying us more than that, we can provide you with a closing cost credit to get you money back!
Timing is Everything!
Feel free to do some driving around without us, but secure a representation agreement with us BEFORE you sit down or sign anything with the builder.
Please Call
Call 303-376-6111 or contact a team member on our ABOUT page to discuss your particular needs, and confirm the process.
Local and Live
Do not try to save money with some internet broker who thinks they can do it from another state. They may not be in compliance, which could jeopardize savings. We’ll look forward to attending your closing and getting your deal done right!
Why Early Engagement Matters
Some builders require that you identify or register your broker at the soonest opportunity. If that isn’t done, they may refuse to pay our brokerage firm, leaving you out of luck. Please reach out to us to discuss the process sooner rather than later.

What Are The Details?
You would be identifying us as your real estate agent. As your agent, builders would typically pay us a commission, just as you’d find with the purchase of a regular existing home on the market. In fact, the commission is usually the same as existing homes (around 3%), but every deal is unique, and builders have requirements for paying a commission to agents. For this reason, call us to discuss a path ASAP. (303-376-6111)
While we’d need to discuss your needs and objectives, we typically take half of what the builder pays us, and we credit it back to you at closing. This credit is applied against your closing costs and prepaids, but know that most lenders will not let you use it as part of your down payment. The result is you bringing a smaller check to the closing table, leaving more in your bank! We advise you and coordinate the anticipated credit from us with your lender at the soonest opportunity, ideally before you even make an offer on a property.
We can afford to do this because we maintain low overhead, and you are one of those easy buyers that saved your agent a lot of time. Our buyers typically save us time on the front end with the home search, although are happy to talk about ways we can help. But truth be told, a lot of time is saved after you go under contract and/or after construction begins. We structure our relationships with clients such that the client agrees to work directly with the builder as much as possible. No need to have us in the middle when picking out tile. And all of the big builders have teams in place to make the process as smooth as new construction can be. So while we are available as needed, we play a very limited role in the time between the contract signing and the closing.
Please reach out to us early and often. Too many homebuyers engage the builder’s friendly sales reps on their own before realizing that it may become too late to engage a Realtor® or Buyers’ Slice Realty. And why not have a broker represent you since we have yet to see a builder discount a home just because a homebuyer is working directly with them. If you are moving fast, you’ll be just fine presenting the below savings certificate, and we’ll look forward to working with you at the soonest opportunity!
