New Construction Specialist

Search new construction across South Florida, at every price point

From entry-level new builds and first-time buyer communities to modern condos, townhomes, and high-end waterfront estates, new construction is Russell's specialty. High-end and luxury new builds are his preferred focus, but he works every tier with the same care. Tell Russell your area, budget, and property type and he'll put together a shortlist of new homes that genuinely fit.

Start your new build search

Pick your area, budget, and property type

New construction is everywhere in South Florida right now, and it spans every price point. Share where you want to live, what you want to spend, and the type of home you're after, and Russell will shortlist new builds that fit your life and your budget, not just the newest listings.

Miami-Dade

From Brickell and Miami to the suburbs and the Keys side of the county, new condo towers and single-family communities.

Broward

Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Weston, and the growing suburbs with new single-family and townhome neighborhoods.

Palm Beach County

Boca Raton, Delray, Wellington, and West Palm with upscale new builds and master-planned communities.

Monroe County

The Florida Keys, where new waterfront construction is rarer and requires an agent who knows the build rules.

What Russell brings to a new build

Buying new construction is still buying real estate, and it comes with its own contract, warranty, and timeline questions. Russell handles builders the way he handles every part of a deal: with local market knowledge, clear communication, and an inspector's eye for what will hold up over time.

No spam, no pressure. Just a conversation with Russell.

Tour, compare, and decide

Model visits, spec comparisons, and contract review, with an inspector's insight into every new home you're serious about.

Builder inventory and models

Russell tracks new home communities across the four counties, at every tier from entry-level to luxury, so you see real floor plans and pricing, not just renderings.

Honest spec comparisons

Builders differ in included finishes, base prices, and upgrade costs. He compares specs line by line, at every price point, so you know what you're actually paying.

An inspector's eye from day one

As a former home inspector, Russell reads new-build quality, contracts, and warranty terms with a professional's scrutiny before you commit, whatever the price tag.

Negotiation that protects you

Incentives, closing costs, and upgrade credits are often on the table. Russell negotiates the full picture, not just the sticker price.

The inspector's advantage

A new home still deserves a critical eye

Just because a home is brand new doesn't mean it's flawless. New construction comes with its own set of questions: builder warranties, included versus upgraded finishes, HOA terms, construction timelines, and the quality of the build itself.

Because Russell spent years as a professional home inspector, he reviews new builds with the same scrutiny he'd apply to a resale. He reads the contract, the specs, and the fine print, and he tells you honestly what's worth paying for and what isn't.

  • Contract and warranty review
  • Spec and upgrade comparison
