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 Gaithersburg matters because builders keep filing plans. As of 2026, the Stevenson-Metgrove final site plan covers 232 single-family homes west of Metropolitan Grove Road. Stacked townhouses add another format, with 72 approved for 1 Central Avenue on February 6, 2023. Each project sets its own lot premiums, upgrade pricing and incentive rules. Sales offices represent the builder.

Price-controlled units come with most large projects. Gaithersburg requires 15% of the units in developments of 20 or more to be moderately priced dwelling units. Those homes follow separate eligibility rules and resale controls. Buyers who qualify should ask about them early, since they’re allotted by program rather than at the sales desk.

Warranties need a close read. Under Maryland’s implied warranty, a builder answers for ordinary defects during the first year and for structural problems through year two. Whether the builder participates in a warranty plan has to be disclosed. We note those dates on your calendar. The pre-drywall walkthrough and the final punch list are where most issues get caught.

Contract terms favor the builder by default. Deposits, completion dates, lot selection and upgrade credits are all negotiable to some degree. Builder-preferred lenders often attach incentives, so we compare that offer with an outside quote. Independent inspections at framing and before settlement add cheap protection. Resale value matters as well. Early phases often price lower than later ones, while the final homes in a community compete with resales. We track both.

Answered

Gaithersburg, answered.

Q: What new homes are planned in Gaithersburg? A: Several projects. The Stevenson-Metgrove final site plan covers 232 single-family homes west of Metropolitan Grove Road, and 72 stacked townhouses won approval at 1 Central Avenue in February 2023. Gaithersburg projects of 20 or more units also set aside 15% as price-controlled homes. Q: How long does a new Gaithersburg home’s warranty last? A: Maryland’s implied warranty makes the builder answer for ordinary defects for a year and for structural problems for two. Builders must also say whether they participate in a warranty plan. On a Gaithersburg purchase, we calendar both end dates so any claim gets filed in time. Q: Should I use the builder’s sales agent in Gaithersburg? A: The sales agent works for the builder. Having your own representation in Gaithersburg means someone reviews lot premiums, upgrade pricing, lender incentives and contract deadlines on your behalf. Some builders expect your agent at the first visit, so bring us in before touring models.
