I specialize in the purchase and sales of single-family residences within the cities of Allen, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, Celina and the surrounding areas.
I have many years of experience working with area builders as a construction manager. For the most part, only industry "insiders" truly know what it costs to build your home and the builder's profit margin. Trying to negotiate without this important information will almost guarantee you will pay too much. Because I am a industry insider, I can save you thousands of dollars on your home purchase.
Did you know builders figure Realtor® commissions into the cost of building your new home and that builders do not reduce the price of your home because you do not use a Real Estate Agent? Do not be fooled by fake "discounts" -- where the costs of incentive packages have merely been tacked on to the sale price of the house. You will pay more and go without the upgrades you deserve without the proper representation.
Remember the builder's sales person represents the builder and will try to sell you anything, even substandard homes and lots. Shouldn't you have representation too? Please contact me if you are looking or going to look at new construction, so I can protect your interests, negotiate the best terms and the lowest possible sales price.

More privacy
Are you reluctant to give out contact information through the Web for fear of being pestered or spammed? e-PROs understand. They've learned the Web isn't just a place to do business; you need information from someone you can trust. That's why e-PROs respect your privacy.
