New construction can be exciting—but builders represent their own interests. Buyers need a realtor who protects them, explains the fine print, and keeps the timeline smooth. Here are the top reasons clients choose Alex Mayer in Rochester MN.
Deep Knowledge of New Construction Processes
Alex understands how new construction transactions differ from resale deals — from options and upgrades to timelines, builder contracts, and construction phases — so you’re prepared at every step.
Highly Rated & Award-Winning Local Expert
Alex has been voted Best Real Estate Agent in Rochester multiple times and has over 300 five-star reviews from buyers and sellers. This track record reflects consistent results, strong advocacy, and high client satisfaction.
Experienced Negotiation on Your Behalf
Builders often structure contracts to protect their own interests. Alex brings strong negotiation experience to ensure your contract terms, pricing, and incentives are fair and favorable to you as the buyer.
Clear Explanation of Contracts and Allowances
New construction contracts include unique elements like allowances, change orders, and upgrade pricing. Alex breaks these down in plain language so you fully understand your financial commitments and choices.
Strategic Timing and Coordination
New homes involve multiple milestones (e.g., lot selection, foundation, framing, inspections, closing) and timing coordination with your current sale or move. Alex helps keep your schedule aligned and minimizes delays or surprises.
Personalized Attention Throughout the Build
Rather than handing you off to a sales rep or assistant, Alex provides one‑on‑one support through the entire process — from initial builder selection through punch list and closing.
Advocate for Your Interests with Builders
Builders’ sales teams work for the builder’s interests. Alex represents your interests — asking key questions, confirming specs and allowances, and ensuring your expectations are met before you sign or commit.
Insights on Local Builders and Communities
Alex is familiar with Rochester’s local builders, subdivisions, and upcoming developments. His insight helps you choose the best neighborhood, lot location, and builder based on your needs and budget.
Coordination with Lenders and Advisors
New construction often requires specific lender communication for construction loans, draws, and timing with mortgage commitments. Alex connects you with trusted local lenders and ensures smooth coordination throughout.
Support with Inspections and Quality Control
Construction walkthroughs, inspections, and punch list items are critical before closing. Alex helps schedule and attend these reviews so that quality and completion meet expectations.
Strong Communication and Responsiveness
Clients consistently praise Alex for frequent updates and clear communication — essential when multiple parties (builder, lender, inspectors) are involved in a new construction project.
“Alex made our buying and selling experience easy”
Alex made our buying and selling experience easy! From the very beginning he offered helpful advice, located potential properties to view and, when we decided to go with new construction, he set up those initial discussions. As it came time to close on our new home, he was in regular contact with the contractor, banker, and title company so that closing went off without any problems.
He proved just as helpful when selling our previous house. He arranged for beautiful pictures, recommended vendors to make some sale-ready improvements and, when a last minute furnace problem developed, he was onsite supervising the work so as not to delay the next-day closing.
He is the best!
