Buying a home in Kolbe Farms can be challenging. Many new construction communities have non-standard contracts that are very one-sided and benefit the developer. Unsuspecting buyers can be at a material disadvantage from the start.

In addition, since Houston recently issued more single family new home construction permits than the entire state of California, some new construction quality has suffered. It’s critical that buyers get help from a great realtor to navigate the contract and inspection process.
