THE BUILDER OFFERS THE HOME. RENEE BRINGS THE ADVANTAGES.
Independent representation, buyer protections, financing opportunities, design expertise and full contract-to-closing support.
Choose Smarter. Buy With Protection. Make the Move Easier.
Renee’s new-construction system is built around three priorities: choosing the right builder and community, protecting the buyer through the purchase, and making the transition from the home you have today as smooth as possible.
Choose Smarter
Compare builders, communities, floorplans, lot options, inventory homes, incentives, upgrades and long-term fit.
Buy With Protection
Independent buyer representation, Love It or Leave It protection, 3-year warranty opportunities and contract-to-closing support.
Make the Move Easier
Buy Before You Sell options, cash-offer alternatives, preferred lender opportunities and design guidance.
Don't Start With a Builder. Start With a Plan.
The builder’s sales team is there to sell that builder’s homes. Renee’s job is to help you compare the market from the buyer’s side—then stay involved through the decisions that happen after you choose the home.
Compare the Market
Community, builder, floorplan, lot, quick move-in options, fees and incentives.
Compare the Real Cost
Base price, upgrades, financing, recurring costs and choices that may be expensive to change later.
Compare the Long-Term Fit
Daily function, future flexibility, design decisions and resale considerations.
Meet Renee Degelau
More than a Realtor, Renee brings more than 20 years of professional interior design experience plus a mortgage and finance background to the buying process.
That means she can help you look beyond the model-home presentation and evaluate layout, functionality, upgrades, ownership costs, financing choices, resale considerations and whether the home truly fits the way you want to live.
Floorplans, function, materials, finishes, selections and upgrade strategy.
Helping buyers understand the purchase as both a lifestyle and financial decision.
Compare the builders instead of being sold by one builder.

Preferred Lender Rate Opportunities

Walkthrough & Decision Support
From model-home visits through pre-closing walkthroughs, Renee helps you identify questions, trade-offs and decisions that deserve attention.
If You Already Own a Home, We Help Solve That Too.
