"Your Wish. We'll Make It Happen!®"
New construction purchase agreements are written by the builder's legal team to protect the builder. Jerrod reviews every builder contract before you sign — identifying one-sided clauses, warranty limitations, change order risks and buyer protections that need to be negotiated before you put any money down.
Most buyers spend $20,000–$60,000+ at the design center beyond base price. Jerrod knows which upgrades add resale value and which are pure margin for the builder. He negotiates upgrade allowances and package pricing that most buyers never knew were available — saving you real money on day one.
Pre-drywall, pre-closing and final walkthrough inspections with an investor's trained eye. Jerrod documents every concern in writing, holds builders accountable to their commitments and ensures your punch list items are completed before you close.
Builder inspections are not independent. Jerrod strongly recommends and coordinates an independent inspector for every new construction purchase — and accompanies them through the walkthrough to ensure every issue is documented and addressed before closing.
VA loans work for new construction — but the process has specific requirements around appraisals, builder certification and draw schedules that many agents don't understand. As an Army Ranger veteran and MRP certified agent, Jerrod navigates VA new construction financing with genuine expertise.
You hired a builder to build your home to specification. Jerrod holds them to it — attending walkthroughs, documenting discrepancies in writing and advocating for your interests at every stage from contract to keys. You should never navigate that process alone.
We meet before you visit a single model home. Jerrod explains how new construction contracts differ from resale, which builders are active in Colorado Springs, what to watch out for in the sales office and how to avoid the most common and costly buyer mistakes.
Guidance on builder reputation, quality tier, community HOA structure, lot positioning, elevation selection and base price versus true final cost. Jerrod helps you evaluate options across Colorado Springs builders with the same analytical discipline he applies to investment properties.
Before you sign anything, Jerrod reviews the full builder contract and purchase agreement. He identifies buyer-protective amendments to request, negotiates upgrade allowances and ensures earnest money and cancellation terms are clearly understood.
Jerrod attends the design center appointment as your advisor — helping you prioritize upgrades with the best resale value, avoid over-customizing and negotiate package pricing with the design center representative.
Pre-drywall inspection, pre-closing walkthrough and final blue tape session with an investor's trained eye. Every concern is documented in writing and tracked through resolution before you hand over any additional funds.
Independent home inspection is coordinated and attended. All punch list items are documented and confirmed complete. Closing is coordinated with builder, title and your lender — VA loan or conventional — with Jerrod managing every detail through key handoff.
