Brand-new home?Register first. Tour second.
The onsite agent at a builder’s model home works for the builder. Once Kenny is registered as your rep (free, 30 seconds), you get a real advocate at the contract table, on inspections, on closing-cost negotiations, and through the 11-month warranty walk.
Step 1, before everything else
Register Kenny
as your new-home rep.
Quick form on the New Home Builder portal. Once registered, you’re free to tour any model home in the 512 with us in your corner, and zero impact on your purchase price.

Four steps. One trusted advocate
01
Register Kenny first
30 seconds on the New Home Builder portal. We get your name on file with the builder of your choice, and any others you want to tour.
02
Tour together (or alone)
Visit model homes with us along, or solo with our name on file. Either way, the onsite rep knows you have representation.
03
Build & negotiate
When you find the right floor plan and lot, we negotiate upgrades, incentives, closing-cost credits, and contingencies builders rarely volunteer.
04
Closing + warranty walk
We attend your pre-drywall, final walkthrough, and 11-month warranty inspection, catching items the builder would otherwise quietly skip.
Brand-new vs. previously loved.
We’re agnostic. Both are great. Here’s the honest comparison so you can pick what fits, and then we help you do that one well.
The questions everyone asks.
Does using Kenny cost me anything?
No. Builders pay agent commissions out of their existing marketing budget, your purchase price doesn’t change whether you register us or not. The only difference is whether you have someone in your corner at the contract table.
I've already visited a community without registering. Am I locked out?
Usually no, as long as you haven’t signed a contract or put down a deposit. Reach out and we’ll check with the builder’s onsite team. Most are flexible if it’s been less than a couple of weeks.
Will the builder treat me differently if I bring a rep?
In our experience, the opposite, they take you more seriously. Builders know reps bring repeat buyers; they’d rather negotiate with someone who knows the playbook than scare off a buyer who feels outgunned.
What can you actually negotiate on a new build?
More than people think. Closing-cost credits (often $10–30K), rate buydowns, free upgrades on appliances/flooring/lot premiums, extended warranties, and contract contingencies (inspection, financing, appraisal). Almost never the base price, but the total package, yes.
How does the property tax appraisal work?
Texas appraises on January 1 each year. New builds often close mid-year with land-only valuations the first year, then the full value the second year, which can spike your escrow $300–800/month. We model this into your budget upfront, not after the surprise.
What's the 11-month warranty walk?
Builder warranties cover most defects for 12 months. At month 11, we walk the home with you, document every issue, and submit one consolidated punch list, so the builder fixes everything before the warranty expires. Most buyers without a rep skip this and pay out-of-pocket later.
