Every Bastrop new-construction community I have toured, with an honest walk-through of the builders, the real pricing, the tax rate, and the trade-offs. Tap one for the full rundown.
From your first model-home visit to your eleven-month warranty walk: builder contracts, what a new build really costs, and the tax districts most Bastrop buyers miss as the town grows. Grab the free New Construction Guide.
The real appeal of building, and the whole picture most buyers only half-see.
Who actually represents you, and why registering me before your first visit matters.
What to ask before you sign, and why the model home isn't the house you're buying.
Production vs. custom, how to vet a builder, lot premiums, and spec vs. build-to-order.
Builder contracts, incentives, the design center, and what a new build really costs.
The real timeline, slab to systems to handoff, and how to stay involved.
Why a brand-new home still needs its own inspection, and what inspectors find.
The final walkthrough, closing on a new build, and your warranty decoded, plus four printable checklists.
"My wife and I bought a new home in Bastrop, and every step with Brandon was first class. We were on a tight deadline with a difficult seller's agent, but he stayed steady and calm and made sure we closed on schedule. He genuinely cares, and I give him my highest recommendation."
"Brandon helped us buy a home and we had an amazing experience with Holley Homes Realty! He navigated us through the entire process, and we felt lucky to have him on our side while dealing with our builder."
"We were relocating on a tight timeline into a brand-new market, and Brandon made it so much more manageable. He pulled together detailed builder payment comparisons and helped us focus on what actually mattered. He felt like someone in our corner the whole time. I could not recommend him more!"
Bastrop is close to my heart, and it's a market I know deeply. I was named a FastExpert 2026 Top Agent for Bastrop, and with 175+ closed deals since 2016 across Central Texas, I've watched this town's growth bring a wave of new construction and new builders to the area.
This guide is everything I'd tell you if you were sitting across from me, deciding whether to build in Bastrop, and how to read the contract behind the model.
