Representation that works for you

The builder has a sales team. You should have your own advocate.

A builder’s sales representative works for the builder. Tawnya works for you - helping you compare options, understand the contract, evaluate incentives, negotiate available concessions, and keep the transaction moving.

Her background in negotiation is especially useful when the price is not the only place value can be created. Closing costs, financing incentives, upgrades, lot premiums, timelines, repairs, and included features may all affect the real cost of the home.

The buying process

Four stages. One informed decision at a time.

A clear plan helps you compare homes, protect your leverage, and move forward without unnecessary pressure.

01

Strategy and readiness

Clarify your goals, timing, budget, financing plan, preferred areas, and the tradeoffs that matter most.

02

Explore and compare

Evaluate new construction communities and resale homes with attention to value, location, condition, ownership costs, and future marketability.

03

Offer and negotiate

Structure the offer, compare the complete financial picture, and negotiate price, incentives, timing, repairs, upgrades, and other available terms.

04

Due diligence to closing

Coordinate inspections, appraisal, lending, walkthroughs, deadlines, and closing details while keeping you informed throughout the transaction.

New construction guidance

Builder incentives are only valuable when they fit your priorities.

A large incentive can sound impressive, but the details matter. Tawnya helps you look beyond the headline and compare the complete offer, including financing, upgrades, fees, timelines, and the long-term cost of ownership.

01
Community and builder comparison

Review location, plans, lot choices, included features, upgrade structures, timelines, and builder reputation.

02
Contract and incentive review

Understand builder-specific documents, deposits, deadlines, financing incentives, and the terms that differ from a typical resale purchase.

03
Negotiation beyond price

Pursue available value through concessions, closing costs, upgrades, lot premiums, rate incentives, or other builder-approved terms.

04
Inspections and walkthroughs

Coordinate independent inspections and stay focused on documented concerns, completion items, and final walkthrough details.

Negotiation experience

The best deal is more than the lowest price.

Tawnya evaluates the full transaction so you can understand where leverage exists and which terms create meaningful value for your situation.

Purchase price

Use market context, comparable choices, inventory, and timing to shape a well-supported offer.

Concessions and incentives

Compare closing-cost assistance, rate programs, upgrades, allowances, and other available benefits.

Inspections and repairs

Prioritize material concerns and negotiate practical solutions with the overall transaction in mind.

Timing and risk

Protect important deadlines, evaluate contingencies, and keep the transaction aligned with your financing and move.

Resale buyers are welcome

New construction is a focus, not a limitation.

Houston homes | Established neighborhoods | Informed comparisons

Tawnya also represents buyers purchasing resale homes throughout Houston. She helps clients compare condition, location, renovation needs, inspection findings, ownership costs, and future resale considerations.

If your search includes both new and existing homes, she can help you evaluate them on the same practical terms so the incentives, finishes, or emotions surrounding one option do not hide the bigger financial picture.
