Buying a New Build in Calgary? Get Cash Back at Closing.
The showhome rep works for the builder, so bring your own REALTOR® and I'll work for you.

Three simple steps
Talk to me before you sign
Reach out before you visit a showhome, if you can. Most builders let you bring your own REALTOR®, but only if I register with them first. I'll explain how it works in plain words. There is no cost to have this first chat.
We pick the lot, model, and upgrades together
I help you compare lots, floor plans, and upgrades. Some upgrades hold value and some do not. I'll share what I see, so you can choose with clear eyes. You make every call.
I guide you through the contract and closing
Builder contracts are not like resale contracts. I walk you through deposits, timelines, the walkthrough, and Alberta New Home Warranty. If a buyer rebate applies to your deal, I'll put the terms in writing. A rebate is provided upon discussion, on a case-by-case basis and is offered case by case.
Why bring your own REALTOR® to a new build
The rep at the showhome is paid by the builder and works for the builder. When you bring me, I work for you. I look out for your side on lot choice, upgrades, the contract, and warranty.
- Lot and model fit. Grading, orientation, and what sits behind your lot. These are things you can't change later.
- Upgrades. I'll share which upgrades tend to hold value and which you may be able to add for less after closing. The choice is yours.
- Contract and warranty. I guide you through deposits, timelines, the walkthrough, and Alberta New Home Warranty.
In many cases the builder pays my fee, so my help may cost you little or nothing. That is not a promise. My fee is fixed or negotiable, whichever works for you, and set out in a written agreement (on a new build it is often paid by the builder), and we'll confirm who pays it in a written agreement before we begin.
About buyer rebates and cash back
You asked about cash back at closing, so let me be straight with you. A buyer rebate is not guaranteed and is not a set amount. It is offered case by case and can depend on the builder and the deal. Any rebate is provided upon discussion, on a case-by-case basis, and the terms go in a written agreement.
- A rebate can affect your financing, so it must be disclosed to your lender.
- It may have tax effects. I'm not a tax advisor, so please check with an accountant.
- Ask me whether a rebate could apply to your purchase, and I'll give you an honest answer.
First-time buyer questions
New builds can carry different taxes, rebates, and fees than resale homes. Some buyers ask about GST and other programs. I'm a REALTOR®, not a tax or mortgage advisor, so I won't quote you a figure here.
- For tax and any GST rebate, please speak with an accountant or the CRA.
- For financing and pre-approval, please speak with a licensed mortgage professional.
- For legal questions on the contract or title, please speak with a real estate lawyer.
I'm glad to work alongside your team so everyone stays on the same page.
