New construction
Eighty-plus new homes, sold one contract at a time.
Alesia and her Nostalgic Homes colleagues handled the builder sell-outs at Berkley Shores in Denver and West Line Village in Lakewood — more than eighty closings between 2019 and 2022. She knows how a builder contract reads, and where a buyer’s leverage actually is.
What a new-build purchase really involves
A builder’s contract is written by the builder. It sets the deposit schedule, the earnest-money rules, the timeline for the completion date, the allowance for design-center upgrades, and what happens if the home appraises low or the closing slips into a new month. None of that is negotiable in the way a resale contract is — but almost all of it is worth understanding before you sign, and some of it is worth pushing on.
Having sat on the builder’s side of the table for two full communities, Alesia can tell you which incentives are typical, when a lender credit is really a price cut, what the punch-list walk should cover, and what a metro-district tax bill looks like on the first year’s statement. She also keeps track of the resale record: which floor plans in a community have held value, and which have not.
