Buying a new home directly from a builder might seem simple—until the unexpected hits. From missing appliances to upgrade confusion and contract surprises, many buyers only realize the risks of going it alone when it’s too late.

This blog reveals the most common pitfalls in DFW new construction—and how Nitin Gupta helps you avoid every one, starting from your very first builder visit.


Nitin Gupta protects buyers from the inside out—starting before you even step into a model home. His expertise prevents costly mistakes, contract traps, and post-closing headaches.


Quote from Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI, REALTOR®

“The biggest mistake buyers make is waiting to call me until after they’ve visited the builder. That delay costs them leverage—and often money.”

Top Builder Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Registering Without Your AgentMany builders won’t let a REALTOR® represent you later if you register alone on your first visit

  • Misunderstanding Base Price vs. Model Home FeaturesBuyers are often shocked to learn most model features cost extra

  • Not Reviewing the Builder’s ContractThese contracts are written to protect the builder, not the buyer

  • Ignoring Lot Selection RisksDrainage issues, lack of privacy, or future development nearby can hurt resale value

  • Skipping Third-Party InspectionsBuilders may push back—but inspectors catch construction flaws that could cost thousands later
