Flood information
Flood zones are set by address, not by community. Look up the exact address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and Fort Bend County's floodplain map page. On a resale, read the Seller's Disclosure Notice; a never-occupied new home has none, so ask the builder about the lot's elevation and drainage. Also get an elevation certificate and a flood insurance quote. We provide these tools and links; the official maps, disclosure and quote are the sources to rely on. See flood zones and elevation certificates in Houston.
How we represent new-construction buyers
Register us with the builder before or at your first visit. Many builders recognize a buyer's agent only if registered by then, and a walk-in without us can be treated as unrepresented. The builder's on-site agent represents the builder; we represent you. Builders use their own contracts, so we review deposits, completion dates and warranty terms with you. Bring your own inspector at pre-drywall and the final walk-through, and ask each builder about incentives such as rate buydowns or closing-cost help, with terms in writing. See how we work with new-construction buyers, builder contracts and walkthroughs and Houston builders.
