## The short answer
Central Brevard and Central Florida are building fast — master-planned Viera, growing Palm Bay, and the corridors around St. Cloud. Here is the part builders do not advertise: their on-site agent works for the builder. Bringing your own representation costs you nothing, and it means someone reads the builder contract, negotiates the extras, and walks your inspections — pre-drywall to closing — on your side of the table.

## How we work this specialty
- **Builder-contract fluency:** Builder paper is not the standard Florida contract — deposits, timelines, and escalation clauses read differently, and we translate before you sign.
- **Negotiating what actually moves:** Base price rarely budges; rate buydowns, closing costs, lot premiums, and upgrade credits often do.
- **Independent inspections anyway:** New does not mean flawless — we schedule pre-drywall and pre-closing inspections with your inspector, not the builder’s.
- **Resale thinking on day one:** Lot choice, elevation, and floor plan decide your resale ceiling years before you list.

## Straight talk (the honest local knowledge)
- **The model home is the ceiling:** Models show every upgrade in the catalog. We keep the delivered-spec sheet honest against what you toured.
- **Districts and fees ride along:** Master-planned communities often carry CDD or stewardship assessments on top of taxes — real money that belongs in your monthly math.
- **Timelines are estimates:** Build dates slip with weather and supply. We build rate-lock and lease-timing plans around that reality.

## Best-fit towns
- **Rockledge & Viera** (https://7wavesrealestate.com/service-areas/rockledge-viera): Viera is the Space Coast’s flagship master-planned community — ~8/10 schools, ~10% flood share.
- **Palm Bay** (https://7wavesrealestate.com/service-areas/palm-bay): The region’s volume builder market — new homes near ~$320K with tier-2 insurance.
- **Kissimmee & St. Cloud** (https://7wavesrealestate.com/service-areas/kissimmee-st-cloud): Fast-growing corridors with inland tier-1 insurance exposure.
- **Titusville** (https://7wavesrealestate.com/service-areas/titusville): New phases riding the Cape’s space-economy boom, ~$300K typical market-wide.

## Frequently asked questions
### Does using my own agent cost more on new construction?
No — representation is typically builder-paid and the price is the same either way. Register your agent on the first visit; walking in alone usually signs you up with the builder’s house agent by default.

### Do I still need inspections on a brand-new home?
Yes — pre-drywall and pre-closing at minimum. Municipal inspections check code, not quality; an independent inspector catches flashing, ductwork, and grading issues while they are still cheap to fix.

### What is a CDD fee?
A community development district assessment that repays a development’s infrastructure — common in master-planned communities like Viera and many Central Florida builds. It appears with your tax bill, so we include it whenever we run your monthly payment.
