Buying a newly built home is exciting, but it can also be very different from purchasing an existing property. From evaluating the location, builder, plans and specifications to understanding allowances, upgrades, timelines and pricing, there are many details to consider before making a decision.
With more than 25 years of real estate experience in Scarsdale and lower Westchester, Maryann Petrescu brings extensive local knowledge and a thoughtful, experienced approach to new construction.
