The Service

New construction buyer representation

New construction buyer representation puts an advocate on your side of a table the builder normally owns: contract terms written by their attorneys, upgrade pricing with invisible margins, and “inspections” by the seller’s own inspectors.

New construction buyer representation in Chevy Chase centers on a short list of projects. On March 9, 2023, the Planning Board approved 147 townhouse lots on Manor Road, split into a 63-lot first phase and an 84-lot second phase. That site previously held 66 apartments from 1949 and 67 townhouses from 1959. Toll Brothers markets the first phase as Chevy Chase Crossing, with list prices starting at $1,225,000. Elsewhere, new detached houses mostly replace older ones on existing lots.

Sales staff in a model home represent the seller. A base price seldom survives contact with lot premiums, structural choices and design studio selections. Our first request is a written price list covering options and incentives, which we set against recent townhouse resales on Manor Road and nearby streets. Certain incentives require the builder’s affiliated lender, so that loan gets priced against an outside quote before you commit.

Maryland law sets a floor for new-home buyers. Implied warranties protect a buyer for twelve months on workmanship and twenty-four months on structure. Builders must also state in writing whether they participate in a warranty plan. Independent inspections get booked before drywall and again before settlement, since defects caught early are cheaper to correct.

Phased communities shift as they build out. Prices often rise between releases, and later phases may differ in lot size or included features. We follow each release and compare what’s available today with what’s planned. New construction buyer representation explains the broader service. Contract terms get reviewed on builder contract review in Chevy Chase, and community comparisons on townhome communities in Chevy Chase.
