New Construction Buyer Representation
Collins Group Realty Real Estate Specialists provide full-service New Construction Buyer Representation when you decide to purchase a new construction home from a home builder/developer.
Please remember that the sales agent working for the developer is representing the developer’s interest, not yours.
“Our CGR Real Estate Specialist remained in touch while we were building. He worked with us over a year and helped us in every area of building our home. He read through legal documents, spent time with us at the design center, at all the inspections and even helped us secure a rental home until we were able to move in. He was a true representative for us, his clients.”

We had an excellent experience with Collins Group. We built a new home and they were with us each step of the way. They listened to our needs, help guide us with available options, advocated for us with building concerns, gave us local resources for additional needs, showed support during the process (20 months), and were very professional and pleasant to work with as well as being super knowledgeable on the area.
