Buying a Home in Pasco
Ready before you tour, the real costs up front, and a hard negotiation after the inspection and appraisal.
Why buyers choose TKO Realty Group in Pasco
Buying a home in Pasco usually starts with one choice: an established home in East Pasco, or something newer in West Pasco, where there's a lot of new construction and brand-new neighborhoods. Both can be the right answer. They come with different costs, different trade-offs and different negotiations.

Buying new construction in Pasco
The builder's sales office works for the builder. Having your own agent means someone is reading the builder's contract and pushing on your side. We'll agree on how I'm paid before your first visit, and bring me with you on that visit, since some builders require it.
Inspect it anyway. New construction can have wiring that isn't connected, outlets that don't work and other mistakes. Builders are human, and so are their subcontractors.
