Before you visit a model home

6 things smart new-build buyers know

In plain English — no jargon.

The builder's agent isn't yours

The person in the model home works for the builder. You want your own agent in your corner — at no cost to you.

Closing costs are negotiable

I only take you to builders who cover your closing costs. That's thousands that stays in your pocket.

Incentives are on the table

Rate buydowns, free upgrades, price cuts — builders offer them, but you have to know to ask. I ask.

You still need an inspection

Brand-new doesn't mean flawless. I make sure your new home is inspected and fixed before you close.

Financing that fits you

VA ($0 down for veterans), FHA (about 3.5%), or conventional — I help you choose what actually works.

There's a builder warranty

New homes come with a warranty, so you're covered after you move in.

Real homes, real wins

New-construction homes I've helped buyers land

Closing costs covered. Prices dropped. Payments lowered. This is what having your own agent looks like.

Why bring your own agent

The model-home salesperson works for the builder

Not for you. Bringing me along from your very first visit costs you nothing and changes the whole deal.

I vet the builder and community first

Not every builder or community is a good deal. I check reputation, financing fit, and the fine print in the contract before you sign — so there are no nasty surprises later.

I squeeze the builder for extras

Free appliances, zero closing costs, price reductions, a lower monthly payment, free upgrades — builders expect a buyer with an agent to ask, and I push for every perk I can get you. My clients regularly walk away with thousands in savings and extras they didn't know were on the table.

I explain the whole process

New construction has a lot of moving parts. I break every step down in plain English — financing, builder contracts, timelines — so you always know what's happening and why.

I've got your back to the finish line

Inspection, appraisal, build delays, closing day — I handle the moving parts so a months-long build never derails your loan or your nerves.

How it works

Four simple steps

1

We talk — free

A quick, no-pressure chat about what you want and what you can qualify for.

2

I vet the home & builder

I confirm the community and financing fit and that the deal is fair — before you sign a thing.

3

I negotiate your perks

I push the builder for paid closing costs, a lower payment, or free upgrades.

4

You get the keys

I'm with you through inspection, appraisal, and closing day.

Why buyers pick Rami

Someone who works the builder for you

I'm a San Antonio realtor and a 100% disabled Air Force and Army veteran. Whether you've served or you're buying your very first home, I bring the same thing: someone in your corner who knows how to work builders, spot a bad deal, and keep your money in your pocket. Last year I closed 55 homes ($19M) for families across the area.

"Rami was a tough negotiator — he worked our price down by 8 grand and even got them to throw in a fridge. He made it his mission to get us the home we wanted, and even picked up the keys for us after closing."

Really grateful I clicked on Rami's Instagram ad and decided to go with him. I was able to purchase my brand new home, and he made the buying process super easy! Thank you, Rami!

My experience with Key Turn was the best in home buying I ever experienced. Everything about the process that was promised was exactly what we experienced. The expert research that was done before we started looking at homes made the search smooth and easy. I appreciate our realtor Rami and how he walked us through the process without a hitch. We LOVE our new home!

Donna W.Google

I'm so grateful for Rami and his realtor services. I saw his ad on Instagram and messaged him to see if I qualified for any of the homes he was advertising. He contacted me right away, then again the next day about the mortgage loan I qualified for. He gave me builder options, set up tours of new-built homes, and was right by my side as the builder presented the home, price, and incentives. He even helped me buy out my remaining apartment lease. I'm grateful to him for helping make my dream of becoming a homeowner a reality.
