Building or buying a custom luxury home in Southlake is a high-stakes decision. From selecting the right lot to navigating builder contracts, you need a REALTOR® with hands-on experience — not just someone who knows how to open doors.


Hiring the wrong agent can lead to construction delays, budget overruns, or ending up in the wrong neighborhood. These key questions will help you hire the best REALTOR® for your Southlake custom home.


Top Questions to Ask a Southlake Custom Home REALTOR®

1. How Many Custom Home Transactions Have You Handled in Southlake?

You want someone who's worked with luxury builders, not just resale homes.

2. What Builders Do You Have Relationships With?

The best agents know who delivers on time and who cuts corners. Ask about Toll Brothers, Britton Homes, and Shaddock.

3. Do You Have Experience With Lot Selection and Site Evaluation?

A poor lot choice affects future resale, foundation risk, and build complexity.

4. Can You Help With Design Center and Upgrade Negotiations?

Builders mark up upgrades significantly. The right REALTOR® can negotiate credits or concessions.

Southlake communities like Carillon and Clariden Ranch have strict architectural controls.
