THE R&R TEAM ADVANTAGE
13+ Years of New Construction Expertise
Buying new construction is a very different experience from buying a resale home. Builder contracts are written to protect the builder — not the buyer. Upgrade decisions happen quickly and under pressure. Model homes are designed to make everything look simple.
Jacqui Robertson has represented Dustin Shaw Homes for over 13 years, working alongside buyers through both semi-custom and fully custom construction projects across Coweta County. That long-standing relationship — and that depth of experience — gives R&R Team clients a meaningful advantage from day one.
We guide new construction clients through every phase: choosing the right lot, understanding the builder’s contract, making smart upgrade decisions, managing the build timeline, and navigating the final walkthrough. And our representation costs you nothing — the builder pays.
Our representation is independent. We work for you — not the builder — and our goal is always to protect your interests and help you make confident, informed decisions.

OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
What We Do for New Construction Buyers
Lot Selection Guidance
Not all lots are equal. We help you evaluate orientation, topography, drainage, future-phase proximity, and resale implications — so you choose a lot you’ll love living on and selling later.
Contract Review & Negotiation
Builder contracts protect the builder. We review every line, explain what you’re agreeing to, and negotiate where there’s room — on price, closing costs, upgrades, and contingencies.
Design Center Strategy
Upgrade decisions happen fast. We help you think through what adds resale value, what’s cosmetic, and what’s worth the investment — so you don’t overspend or miss something important.
Build Phase Check-Ins
We stay engaged throughout the build — attending key milestone visits, flagging issues early, and keeping communication open between you and the builder so nothing falls through the cracks.
Pre-Closing Walkthrough
We walk the home with you before closing to create a thorough punch list. Our eye for detail, developed over years of new construction experience, means nothing gets missed before you sign.
Post-Close Support
Our relationship doesn’t end at closing. We help you navigate warranty claims, follow up on open punch list items, and remain a resource as you settle into your new home.

COMMON QUESTIONS
New Construction FAQ
Does using a buyer’s agent cost me anything in new construction?
No. The builder pays the buyer’s agent commission in new construction — it’s already built into the builder’s pricing model. You get full professional representation at no additional cost to you. There is no scenario where you save money by walking in without an agent.
Can I use my own lender for new construction?
Usually yes — but builders often offer incentives (closing cost contributions, rate buydowns, or upgrade credits) for using their preferred lender. We help you compare the true value of those incentives against using your own lender so you can make an informed decision, not just one that looks good on paper.
How long does new construction take in Coweta County?
Timelines vary by builder and home type. Production-built homes typically take 6–9 months from contract to close. Semi-custom homes can run 9–12 months depending on complexity. Custom builds may take 12–18 months or longer. We set realistic expectations at the start and stay engaged throughout the build to monitor progress.
Should I get a home inspection on a brand-new home?
Absolutely. New homes are not immune to construction defects, and builders are not perfect. We strongly recommend an independent home inspector — ideally at both the pre-drywall and pre-closing stages — to give you a clear picture of what’s behind the walls before they’re sealed. It’s one of the best investments you can make.
Can I negotiate the price on a new construction home?
Sometimes — it depends on the builder, the market conditions, and the community phase. Builders rarely discount list price, but there is often room to negotiate on closing costs, upgrades, lot premiums, or financing incentives. Knowing where to push and when to accept is part of what experienced new construction representation brings to the table.
What are the differences between production, semi-custom, and custom builds?
Production homes are built from a set of pre-designed floor plans with limited structural options but a variety of finishes to choose from — faster timeline, more predictable pricing. Semi-custom allows more structural choices within a framework — more personalization, longer timeline. Fully custom is your vision built from the ground up on your lot — maximum control, maximum complexity, and the longest timeline. Jacqui has experience across all three.
