Hi, I’m Tana Showalter
I’m the Broker/Owner of Rogue Realty, a boutique brokerage in Sarasota, and new construction is what I do every day, across Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota and Manatee County.
Originally from Ohio, I know how many questions come with buying a home from hundreds of miles away. Which builder is right for you? Which community fits your lifestyle? Is that quick move-in really a good deal? I built this site to answer those questions with plain-English guides and short video tours, so you can shop with confidence before you ever get on a plane.
Why have an agent for new construction?
The sales office works for the builder
Builder sales consultants are great resources, but their job is to sell that builder’s homes. I can help you compare builders, communities and incentives side by side.
Typically no cost to you
On most new construction, the builder pays the agent’s commission. Many builders require your agent to be with you at your first visit, so reach out before you tour.
Help from contract to keys
From builder contracts and upgrades to inspections and closing, I’ll help you keep track of every step, especially if you’re managing it from out of state.
