Questions that matter more than an award
- How many new-construction buyer transactions has the agent personally handled recently?
- Which builders and communities has the agent worked with?
- How does the agent handle builder registration before the first visit?
- What is the agent's pre-drywall and final inspection process?
- How does the agent compare builder incentives and preferred-lender offers?
- What does the agent do when construction or closing timelines change?
Individual experience versus team volume
Team production can be a useful signal, but buyers should understand who will personally handle the transaction and what that person's direct new-construction experience is. New Home Hero's screening is designed around relevant individual experience and process knowledge rather than marketing claims alone.
