Your buyer guide is ready.
I'll use what you sent to point you toward the right next step. If you're visiting a builder or touring homes soon, text me before you give anyone your information or sign anything.
The Temple/Belton New Construction Pre-Visit Checklist.
If you requested the new-construction checklist, start here before your first model-home visit. It's the same sheet I walk through with my own buyers — incentives, lender restrictions, taxing units, and the items most buyers don't think to ask until after they've signed.
- Confirm builder & community
- Note current incentive offer
- Ask lender restrictions
- Taxing units & MUD/PID
- HOA covenants, rentals
- Payment after buydown
- Inspection & warranty
- Resale & exit risk
If you're visiting a builder soon, text me first.
Builder registration and buyer-representation rules can vary by builder, community, and timing. Before you fill out a builder form, schedule a model-home appointment, or sign in at a sales office, send me the builder/community name and when you plan to visit.
One text saves a thousand mistakes.
Two-second message. I'll tell you whether to register, how to register, or to wait.
What to do next.
Three common paths I see from buyers in Temple, Belton, and the rest of Bell County. Find yours.
If you requested a new-build guide
- Download the Pre-Visit Checklist (above)
- Text Taylor before your first builder contact
- Compare incentives, taxes, HOA/MUD, and lender terms before signing
If you're comparing resale homes
- Send Taylor the address or MLS number
- Ask for repair, resale, tax, and neighborhood context
- Schedule a showing with buyer representation in place
If you're relocating to Temple/Belton
- Share your move timeline
- Compare commute, schools, resale, and payment
- Shortlist neighborhoods before the trip
What I'll look at before I reply.
I read your form. Then I check these. Then I text or call back. The more of these you can answer up front, the faster I can be useful.
- 01 Builder/community or home address
- 02 Whether you've already contacted the builder
- 03 Current incentive and lender restrictions
- 04 Taxing units, HOA, MUD/PID if applicable
- 05 Payment after temporary buydown expires
