Why Refer Your New Construction Clients to Barrett?
New construction is a specialty. The contract is different, the negotiation is different, and the process has steps that resale does not — design center selections, pre-drywall inspections, builder lender analysis, and more. If new construction is not your primary focus, referring your client to a specialist protects the relationship and earns you a referral fee.

What Your Client Gets
Community matching
Barrett matches your client to the right community based on budget, commute, schools, amenities, and lifestyle — not just what the builder is pushing.
Builder contract review
New construction contracts are written by the builder's attorney. Barrett reviews every clause and explains what it means for the buyer.
Incentive and upgrade negotiation
Barrett knows what each builder will negotiate — closing costs, design center credits, lot premiums, rate buydowns — and pushes for maximum value.
Pre-drywall and final inspections
Barrett coordinates independent inspections at the pre-drywall and final stages to catch issues before closing.
Builder lender comparison
Most builders offer incentives tied to their preferred lender. Barrett helps your client compare the builder's lender against outside financing to find the true best deal.
Closing coordination
From contract to keys, Barrett manages the timeline and keeps your client informed at every stage.
