The Masala Homes Advantage
A common myth in new construction is that you don't need a REALTOR® if you're buying directly from the builder. This is one of the most expensive mistakes a buyer can make.
The friendly sales agent in the model home is a lovely person, but they are an employee of the builder. Their job is to represent the builder's best interests, not yours.
When you partner with Santy Kumar and Masala Homes, you get an expert negotiator and a dedicated advocate on your side. The best part? Our expert representation is 100% free for you. The builder pays our fee, and it does not change the price of your home.
Expert Negotiation
We negotiate on price, incentives, and upgrades to get you the best possible deal.
An Investor's Eye
Santy's 10+ years as an investor helps you choose a home that's also a sound financial investment.
Contract Guidance
Builder contracts are complex. We help you understand the fine print, timelines, and your obligations.
Inspection Advocacy
We connect you with trusted, independent inspectors for pre-drywall and final walkthroughs.

Understanding the New Construction Journey
The new home building process can seem mysterious. To help you feel prepared, here is a simplified overview of the typical phases you'll experience.
Location & Pre-Construction
Select your builder, community, and home site. You'll finalize your floor plan and structural options (like an extra bedroom) and sign the purchase agreement.
Foundation & Framing
Your home's foundation is poured. Framing goes up, and the roof, windows, and doors are installed to create a "weather-proof" shell.
The "Mechanicals" (Rough-In)
Before walls are closed, crews install the "guts" of your home: all plumbing, electrical wiring, and the complete HVAC system.
Insulation & Drywall
This is a critical step! Insulation is added, and then you'll have your "pre-drywall walkthrough" to verify what's behind the walls before they are closed up.
Finishes & Final Touches
The fun part! Interior trim, cabinets, countertops, flooring, light fixtures, and faucets go in. Landscaping and exterior finishes are completed.
Final Walkthrough & Closing
You're at the finish line! You'll do a final "Blue Tape" walkthrough to identify cosmetic fixes. Then, you proceed to closing, get your keys, and move in!
