Buying new construction is different from buying resale. Pricing structures, incentives, and builder contracts all work a little differently. I put this guide together so you can walk into any builder's sales office already knowing what to ask. It covers every active builder and community in Bakersfield and Shafter, and I'm happy to walk through any of them with you side by side. On new construction the builder typically pays my side, so having me in your corner usually costs you nothing.
