Built New, Bought Right — New Construction Homes in Austin, TX
Ironside & Pike represent buyers on new builds and pre-construction across Austin — because the builder's agent works for the builder. We get you the right lot, the right upgrades, and the right price, at no cost to you.
Your Agent, Not the Builder's
Ironside & Pike have specialized in Austin new construction since 2013. We know the builders, the developments, the floor plans, and the fine print — and we work for you, never the builder.
That matters more than most buyers realize. The friendly agent in the model home is paid by the builder to protect the builder. We're paid the same whether you use us or not — so we push for the right lot, the upgrades that actually add value, and terms that protect you through a build that can take a year or more.
- ✓Twelve years specialized in Austin new construction
- ✓Relationships with 18 Austin-area builders

New Homes, Bought Smart
Ironside & Pike represented us on a Mueller new build and caught things we'd never have known to ask — upgrade pricing, lot premiums, warranty terms. They saved us more than their commission.
They got us into a pre-construction release in East Austin at the first-phase price. Two years later it's worth a third more. That's what builder access gets you.
The builder's sales agent works for the builder — we didn't get that until Ironside & Pike explained it. Having our own rep at no cost changed the whole negotiation.
From lot selection to final walkthrough, they knew every builder in Austin and exactly which floor plans and upgrades were worth it. Twelve years of new-construction expertise, no question.

New-Construction Questions
Do I need my own agent to buy new construction?
Yes — more than you'd think. The agent in the model home represents the builder. Having your own agent costs you nothing (the builder pays it) and gets you honest advice on lot, upgrades, price, and contract.
Is it really free to use you on a new build?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. Builders budget for a buyer's-agent commission whether you bring one or not — so bringing us gets you representation at no additional cost.
What is pre-construction and why does it matter?
Pre-construction is buying into a community before or during its first phase, usually at the lowest prices of the project's life. Our builder relationships get our clients early access to these releases.
Which upgrades are actually worth it?
It varies by builder, but structural options, lot premiums with resale value, and kitchen finishes usually pay back; many cosmetic upgrades don't. We'll steer you to the ones that count.
How long does a new build take?
Typically 6–12 months depending on the builder, plan, and market. We track your build, walkthroughs, and warranty items the whole way so nothing slips.
Do you work with builders and developers directly?
Yes. We partner with Austin builders to market and sell new communities, bringing qualified buyers and honest feedback. If you're a builder, let's talk.
