What representation protects
Builder contract review
Someone who reviews the builder’s contract, flags risks and keeps your interests at the center.
Independent inspection
An independent inspector evaluates the home, identifies defects and protects your right to address them.
Design center
& HOA review
Someone who negotiates design-center pricing and reviews HOA CC&Rs before you’re locked into the contract.
New construction, full diligence
Knowing a home applies to new construction, too.
We apply our 1,500+ data points and scoring - municipal permit history, soil and grading reports, builder warranty terms, disclosures, and independent inspection findings - into a single dashboard so you can move quickly and confidently.
FAQ
Do I need an agent for new construction?
You don’t have to use one, but the builder’s sales team represents the builder first. An independent buyer advisor helps you evaluate the contract, inspections, upgrades, and resale context.
Does using an agent cost more at a new construction community?
Typically, no. When the builder offers a broker co-op, the buyer advisor is compensated from that existing arrangement rather than adding a separate cost to your purchase.
What is a builder broker co-op?
It’s the compensation a builder may offer to a broker who represents a buyer. Terms can vary by community and release, so confirm them before your visit.
Can I still use Hauser if I’ve already visited the sales office?
Possibly, but registration usually needs to happen at or before your first visit. Contact us and we’ll tell you what options remain.
When should I contact Hauser about any new construction?
Reach out before your first visit so we can explain registration timing and help you arrive prepared for the sales center.
Insights
Why you need an agent, even for new construction
A new build still involves a negotiation. Pricing, upgrades, contract terms, all of it. The builder has someone representing their side of that negotiation. Buyers who go in without their own advisor are handling all of it alone.
The Real Break-Even on Buying a Home (It's Probably Later Than You Think)
The real break-even on buying a home is often 6 to 10 years, not the 3 to 5 most buyers assume. Here is the math, including closing costs, selling costs, and opportunity cost, that shows why.
