The Gulfside Team Assisting Home Buyers at Starkey Ranch in Odessa Florida

Purchasing a home is a considerable financial investment for you and your family and that is why we always recommend you use the services of an experienced Realtor for every home purchase and sale.  Whether you are buying a new construction home or having a home built in Starkey Ranch you would be wise to use the services of a Realtor for your transaction.  I have assisted many home buyers just like you in their new construction purchases and I have made it a priority to train my buyer specialists to know about new construction so we will always provide the Luxury service you expect from our team.  We take the time to tour the new construction communities and build relationships with the builders sales representatives so we can better negotiate on our clients behalf.

The purchase and sales contracts used in a new construction sale differ from the standard contracts Realtors use and they differ from builder to builder.  Having an experienced Realtor in your corner to review your contract and closing statement is always to your advantage.

Can You Buy a New Construction Home with a Realtor?

Realtors can assist you with the sale of any home where the land is included. Manufacture homes in parks where the land is owned by the community are properties we cannot assist with.  Realtors sell the land and the improvements on the land.  When it comes to buying a semi customs home from a builder or buying a new construction home that is built already but never lived in, you should always use a real estate agent to assist you.  We never charge a commission to our home buyers and this is true for new construction also.  The builder will offer the Realtor compensation just like a home seller that is selling their own home would.

Benefits of Using a Realtor to Buy New Construction:

We will Negotiate with the builder to get you a better deal
We will Review all of your contract paperwork 
We will Assist you with questions or concerns

Vista Lakes Community in Holiday Florida - New Homes by Ryland

Part of my business is helping people 

purchase new construction homes in the western Pasco county Florida area and in order to help my customers better, I stay informed about new communities that are available in our area.  This week I was part of a private open house that was given by Ryland homes in Vista Lakes for my Brokerage. We were invited in and given a tour of a few of the model homes available in the Vista Lakes community. 

Floor plans in this new community range from 1,804 square feet for a 3 bedroom 2 bath 2 car garage to 3,582 square feet for a 4 bedroom 3.5 bath 2 car garage and prices range from $284,000 to $373,000+. Some of the features you will see in these homes include maple cabinets with 42" upper cabinets in the kitchen. Granite counter tops in kitchens and bath rooms with undercount sinks. GE appliances in either black or white are included but you may upgrade to stainless steel. These homes also come with pest defense tubes built into the walls which means you don't need to spray chemicals in your home.  There is really too much to say about these homes for me write here but let me just say as a real estate professional, I was impressed at the quality and beauty of these homes.

I apologize for the dark photos. Pictures were taken with a phone. 

Vista Lakes is located in Holiday Florida not too far from the Key Vista community off of Gulf Trace Rd and Straub Memorial Dr. tucked in away from the hustle and bustle of US19 and across from the mangroves that run along Straub Memorial Dr. The location of these homes is important since Holiday has a low millage rate for taxes which means these larger homes have a very affordable tax rate for the home owner. 

I am available to meet you at the model center

in Vista Lakes and we can tour the model homes together. Having a Realtor with you when buying any home is important and new construction homes are no different. You will want someone on your side to help you navigate the process and I am with my customers every step of the way.  Contact me online today to schedule your viewing on these homes.
