We Know What New-Build Buyers Actually Need

The Model Home Is Beautiful. The Contract Is Written for the Builder.

What catches new-build buyers

  • The friendly agent in the model home represents the builder — not you
  • Overpaying for upgrades that won't hold their value at resale
  • Assuming brand-new means flawless and skipping the inspection
  • Comparing builders, phases, and lot premiums with no independent read
  • Registering at a sales center before you have your own representation

What you actually want

  • Your own advocate at the table — with the buyer-side fee often covered by the builder
  • Guidance on which upgrades hold value and which just sink money
  • An independent, third-party inspection before you close on a new build
  • A straight read across builders, phases, and lot premiums
  • Confirmation of the exact school-attendance boundary for the lot — not the community marketing map

Why New-Build Buyers Work With Us

An Independent Advocate at the Table — Not the Builder's Salesperson

Your representation, not the builder’s

On a new build the on-site agent is paid by and works for the builder — pricing, upgrades, and contract terms are written to protect them. The Soukup Group represents only you, from the first sales-center visit through closing. In many new-build transactions the builder offers to cover some or all of the buyer-side fee — we confirm the exact terms in writing before you're committed.

We negotiate the incentive, not just the price

Builders hold list price to protect their comps, but they move on incentives — interest-rate buy-downs, a finished basement, design-center credits, or covered closing costs. We know which levers each builder tends to pull, and we get whatever you negotiate in writing.

Fifth-generation Fort Collins

We're not a franchise parachuting in. Five generations here means we know the growth corridors — Timnath, Windsor, Southeast Fort Collins, Wellington — the builders, the phases, and where the lot premiums are worth it. 150,000 sq ft of Old Town Square managed from 2016 to 2022.

One team, first sales center to final walk-through

No call-center handoff and no junior associate who met you yesterday. The person who reviews your builder contract is the person who stands with you at the independent inspection and the final walk-through. We respond soon, seven days a week.

What clients say about The Soukup Group

  • Christina Iskandar

    We can't recommend Izzy and Rodney highly enough. My husband and I were house hunting in Fort Collins while expecting our first baby, and they made what could have been an overwhelming process feel completely manageable. From day one, they were incredibly responsive. Every question got a quick, thoughtful answer and we always knew exactly where things stood. They never once pressured us or rushed a decision; they were patient through every showing and genuinely wanted us to find the right home, not just any home. Where they shined even more was when things got complicated. Buying a home is an emotional rollercoaster, and Izzy and Rodney navigated some complex negotiations on our behalf with the kind of experience and ease that only comes from truly knowing their craft. Through it all, they kept us grounded, level-headed, and focused on what mattered most. We never felt like we were navigating it alone. That support carried all the way through to closing. Once we were under contract, Elizabeth kept us organized, made sure we met every deadline, and ensured we always had the information we needed to make the right decisions along the way. What moved us most, though, was the human touch. This team cared about us as people, not just clients. They looked out for us at every turn and went above and beyond anything we ever could have imagined a real estate team doing to get us into our dream home before our baby arrived. That kind of authenticity and kindness combined with a high level of skill is rare! If you're looking for agents who combine expertise, hustle, and heart, look no further. We're very grateful for their guidance and we love our new home!

    My wife and I worked with Connor Martin at Soukup and... wow... we have bought and sold a few homes in our time, but have never had this kind of service experience. Connor was there every step of the way, including helping locate contractors for post-close improvements. I can sum it up this way: after closing and the hugs and handshakes, we got to our new home and there was Connor on a ladder putting window screens back on. He stayed for a bit to celebrate the moment with us and make sure we were all set. It is as though he is buying the home for himself, and that is how he approaches it. He was really concerned that our home buying experience was a good one, and he made it so. We relocated from Houston and I can't imagine how we would have done this without him. I cannot over-emphasize how much I'd recommend him. Thanks Connor! If I look up service in the dictionary I think your picture will be there.

    Our experience with Izzy could not have been better! She was tireless in helping us find the best home we could get, and once we decided on the one we wanted, she did a brilliant job getting us a great deal and strong seller concessions. Her organized approach and clear communication helped us feel comfortable with the whole process and always know what to expect. As recent immigrants, that made all the difference for us. We can't recommend Izzy and Soukup enough!

    Patrick did a phenomenal job helping us purchase our house. He was very well-versed with market standards and helped us to make a great decision in house purchase. He helped us with our investment questions and gave valuable insight in all the things that we needed to consider with potential renters. I was blown out of the water by his professionalism and knowledge as our agent. I feel very confident in our purchase and it has helped make our life better. Thanks Patrick!

    Connor did an amazing job assisting us with selling our house. He was attentive, informative and engaged. He provided insight and suggestions for increasing the interest we were getting. He clearly worked to get us the best offer and negotiated with our best interest. He invested his time to insure that the traffic coming through our house was consistent. The marketing was on point. We highly recommend Connor and would use him again.

Straight Answers

What New-Build Buyers Ask Before the First Call

Doesn't the builder's on-site agent handle everything?

They handle it for the builder. That agent is paid by and represents the builder — pricing, upgrades, and contract terms are written to protect the builder, not you. We represent only you, from the first sales-center visit to the final walk-through.

Does having my own agent cost me anything?

Who pays the buyer's-agent fee is negotiable on every deal, and we represent you under a written Colorado buyer-agency agreement that spells out those terms before you tour. In many new-build transactions the builder offers to cover some or all of it — we confirm the exact terms with you in writing before you're committed. Builders generally hold their list price whether or not you bring an agent, so having your own advocate rarely costs you and can earn back more than its worth in incentives and upgrades.

What incentives can actually be negotiated on a new build?

Builders hold list price to protect their comps, but they move on incentives: interest-rate buy-downs, a finished basement, design-center credits, covered closing costs, or lot-premium reductions in slower phases. We know which levers each builder tends to pull — and we get whatever you negotiate in writing.

Do I really need an inspection on a brand-new home?

Yes — always. New doesn't mean flawless: new builds carry punch-list defects, and some have issues a model home will never show you. We bring in an independent, third-party inspector — not the builder's own walk-through — before you close, and we hold the builder to the warranty afterward.

Should I register at a sales center before I have an agent?

Talk to us first. Once a builder logs you as an unrepresented walk-in, some will argue you don't need — or can't bring in — your own agent. It's cleanest to have us with you, or to register you, before the builder has your information. If you've already registered, call us anyway — we can usually still represent you.
