Larry Mitchell, ERA Colonial Real Estate in Harker Heights, offers a host of innovative programs and services to ensure a smooth transition for clients wishing to purchase a newly constructed home in Central Texas.

Do you have concerns about selling their existing home, securing financing and affording unexpected maintenance costs?  Through programs such as the ERA® Sellers Security® Plan, ERA Mortgage, the ERA Home Protection Plan® and Select Services®, Larry offers a real estate experience tailored to meet the unique needs of new construction homebuyers.

Many new construction home purchasers worry about a future drop in the market or an inability to sell their home. The ERA Sellers Security Plan offers buyers the assurance and flexibility to put their minds at ease by offering a guaranteed and agreed upon purchase price and closing date. By participating in the Sellers Security Plan, buyers can also borrow up to $150,000 against their equity for the down payments often required by builders before beginning the construction process.

Once the down payment is paid, homebuyers often turn their attention to securing adequate financing and unexpected maintenance costs. To address these concerns, ERA Mortgage offers a variety of financing options designed specifically for new construction homebuyers. The Extended Home Protection Plan for ERA® can provide coverage for years after the builder’s warranty has expired. ERA Colonial Real Estate also offers buyers savings on homeowners’ insurance, inspection services, home security systems, car rentals and other valuable services through ERA Select Consumer ServicesSM.
