Gladden Farms Pro-Tip

"One of the biggest mistakes I see buyers make on Zillow Gladden Farms is missing out on 'Builder Incentives.' Because there is so much new construction here, I can often negotiate things like rate buydowns or closing cost credits that you won't see listed on a public app. Before you walk into a model home, Just Ask Jill to represent you and walk into a builder’s office with the confidence of an agent on your side. — Jill Paddock
