What’s the best way to find a new home community that meets your needs and price point? Contact your Dickson Realty agent. Our team keeps a comprehensive list of the new home developments, their price ranges, size ranges etc.
Caution: If you are going to consider new construction for your next home and have not yet started working with an agent, MEET WITH AN AGENT FIRST before visiting the new home developments. In Northern Nevada new home builders will only pay commission to an agent representing you if your agent visits with you the first time you go to the development. We want you to have the best representation possible rather than be an unrepresented party in your purchase. The sales agent in the office, although friendly and knowledgeable, represents the seller/builder.
