Buyer-side, not builder-side

Toll Brothers in St. Johns County: A Buyer's Read

I represent buyers, never builders. Three decisions determine whether a Toll contract is a good deal, and none are on the sign in front of the model: the homesite, the structural options you lock at contract, and the all-in number after the design studio. Call 561-504-4798 before your first model visit.

Six things that actually decide the deal

Read the standard spec, not the model

Read the standard spec, not the model

Read the standard spec, not the model

The model home is fully optioned. Ask for the standard feature list, then walk the model and mark every item that is not standard. That gap is your real upgrade budget.

Price the homesite on its own

Read the standard spec, not the model

Read the standard spec, not the model

Lot premium is a separate line item. Orientation, drainage, traffic, and what gets built behind you outlive every finish you choose inside the house.

Structural first, cosmetic later

Read the standard spec, not the model

Structural first, cosmetic later

Structural options lock at contract. Cosmetic choices can wait or be replaced later. Budget in that order, not in the order the design studio presents them.

Build the all-in number

Test the builder lender against yours

Structural first, cosmetic later

Base price plus lot premium, structural options, design studio, closing costs, CDD and HOA, then blinds, gutters and landscaping. That total is what you pay.

Incentives tied to the builder's lender are not free. Price the rate, points and fees against your own lender before you trade one for the other.

Most builders only credit your agent if that agent is registered at your first visit. Touring alone can quietly forfeit representation for the whole contract.
