The Rush Was Real.
The high ceilings. The fresh-paint smell. The sales agent who was helpful, answered every question, and made the process sound effortless. What they didn't mention — because they didn't have to — is that they work for the builder, not for you.
In Texas, builder contracts are custom documents written by builder attorneys. They are not standard TREC forms. They contain provisions that protect the builder's timeline, the builder's budget, and the builder's options if something goes wrong. Buyers who sign them without representation regularly discover the gap — after closing.
Maybe you're comparing communities in Katy and Fulshear and not sure which builders actually deliver on their promises. Maybe you're heading into a design center appointment overwhelmed by upgrade options. Maybe you've seen an inventory home that looks perfect and you're wondering if you can negotiate — and how much.
This page is for you — the buyer who is excited about new construction and smart enough to know that excitement alone isn't a strategy.
Why Fort Bend County Buyers Choose
Bobby Mohebbi for New Construction
-
He Works for You — Not the Builder
The sales agent at the model home in Katy or Fulshear is a licensed professional employed by the builder. Their legal obligation is to the builder's interests. Bobby Mohebbi’s legal obligation is to yours. That difference matters in every conversation, every clause, and every concession negotiated on your behalf.
-

Bobby has guided buyers through new construction and inventory home purchases in Katy, Fulshear, Brookshire, Sealy, Cypress, and the broader Fort Bend County corridor for 12 years. He knows which communities have the strongest resale performance, which lot premiums are negotiable, and which builders' timelines are reliable.
-
Contract Review Before You Sign

-

How Bobby Mohebbi Guides You Through
a New Build in 5 Steps
-
Builder Strategy Session
Before you tour a single model home in Katy, Fulshear, or Fort Bend County, Bobby reviews available communities, builders, floor plans, and lot availability. You walk into every sales office informed — not overwhelmed.
-
Contract Review & Negotiation
Builder contracts are custom documents written to protect the builder. Bobby reviews every clause, identifies risk areas, and negotiates closing cost contributions, lot premium reductions, and upgrade packages before you sign.
-
Design Center Guidance
Bobby helps you navigate the design center without overspending — identifying which structural options add lasting value and which cosmetic selections are more cost-effective to source and install after closing.
-
Independent Inspections
Bobby coordinates a third-party inspection at the pre-drywall stage — while framing, plumbing, and electrical are still visible — and again at final walkthrough. New homes regularly surface defects that builder inspectors miss.
-
Closing & Punchlist Resolution
At your final walkthrough, Bobby documents every incomplete or deficient item, ensures your builder punchlist is formally recorded, and confirms resolution before you sign at the closing table.
Not Every New Home Starts
With a Dirt Lot and a 9-Month Wait
Builders across Katy, Fulshear, Brookshire, Cypress and Fort Bend County consistently carry inventory homes — spec builds already under construction or fully completed, staged, and ready for occupancy. Buying an inventory home means a faster closing, locked-in finishes, and a builder motivated to move. It also means the negotiating landscape looks very different — and that difference works in your favor when you have the right representation.
Bobby’s Services to His Buyer Clients
-
Locate Available Inventory Across Target Communities
Bobby Mohebbi searches active inventory across builder communities in Katy, Fulshear, Brookshire, Sealy, and Fort Bend County — identifying spec homes that match your price range, floor plan preferences, and move-in timeline before you spend a weekend driving between subdivisions.
-
Identify the Builder's Position — Then Use It
Inventory homes carry real costs for the builder every day they sit unsold — construction loans, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Builders with standing inventory in Katy and Fort Bend County are motivated. Bobby identifies that leverage and deploys it directly: negotiating purchase price reductions, closing cost contributions, and additional concessions the builder's sales team would never volunteer.
-
Assess What's Already Built In
With an inventory home, finishes, upgrades, and structural selections are locked — you're buying what exists. Bobby walks through every selection with you, assesses which upgrades genuinely add resale equity versus which ones inflated the builder's ask without delivering long-term value, and advises whether the home's current configuration justifies the price.
-
Coordinate an Independent Inspection
With inventory homes, there is no pre-drywall inspection window — the walls are already closed. This makes the final walkthrough inspection more critical, not less. Bobby coordinates a qualified independent inspector to document every deficiency before you sign, ensuring your punchlist is formally recorded and the builder is contractually obligated to resolve it prior to closing.
-
Close Fast — on Your Terms
Inventory home closings in Katy and Fort Bend County can happen in 30 to 60 days — sometimes faster when the builder is motivated. Bobby manages the timeline, coordinates your lender and title company, and ensures no step is rushed at the expense of your protection. Speed is the builder's goal. A clean, protected closing is yours.

New Construction Questions Katy, Cypress & Houston Buyers Ask MostDo I need a real estate agent when buying a new construction home in Texas?
You don't legally need one, but you should have one. Builders employ their own sales agents whose legal duty is to the builder, not to you. A buyer's agent like Bobby Mohebbi represents your interests exclusively, reviews your contract, negotiates on your behalf, and costs you nothing out of pocket in most new construction transactions in Texas.
Does using an agent cost me more when buying a new construction in Texas?
No. In virtually all new construction transactions in Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, and Fort Bend County, the builder pays the buyer's agent commission. You receive full professional representation — contract review, negotiation, design center guidance, and inspection coordination, without adding a dollar to your purchase price.
Can a real estate agent negotiate with home builders in Houston, Katy & Cypress?
Yes, and it matters more than most buyers realize. While builders rarely move on base price for a build-to-order contract, an experienced agent can negotiate closing cost contributions, lot premium reductions, free upgrades at the design center, and extended rate lock periods. On inventory homes, price negotiation is also on the table. Bobby Mohebbi has negotiated these concessions for buyers across Katy, Fulshear, Brookshire, Cypress, New Caney and Fort Bend County.
What is an “Inventory Home” or “Spec” home in new construction?
An inventory or spec home is a new construction home a builder has already started or completed without a contracted buyer. Builders across Katy, Cypress, Fulshear, and Fort Bend County carry inventory homes to keep construction crews active and generate faster revenue. These homes close in 30 to 60 days, have locked-in finishes, and represent strong negotiating opportunities because the builder carries real daily costs on standing inventory.
What should I know about the builder preferred lender incentives?
Builders offer incentives — like closing cost credits — to buyers who use their preferred lender. These offers are real, but the rate may not be competitive. Bobby Mohebbi helps you compare the builder lender's total loan cost against outside lenders so you can make a fully informed decision before committing to financing that may cost more over the life of your loan.
How long does NEW CONSTRUCTION take in Katy, Cypress, Fort Bend County Texas?
Production builds in Katy, Fulshear, and Fort Bend County typically take 4 to 9 months depending on the builder, floor plan, and trade availability. Inventory homes close in 30 to 60 days. Semi-custom and custom builds can take 12 to 18 months or more. Bobby Mohebbi monitors your build timeline, attends key milestones, and keeps you informed so you are never left waiting for answers.Which New Construction upgrades are worth paying for in Texas?
Structural options and electrical upgrades are almost always worth adding at build — additional outlets, upgraded insulation, extended patios, and room conversions are expensive to change later. Cosmetic selections like flooring and countertops are often cheaper to source after closing. Bobby Mohebbi helps you allocate your design center budget where it delivers the most long-term value.Book a Free New Construction
