Hello Jorge,

This is a terrific house, built by a very reputable local builder who grew up in Arlington. The Ventura Group currently has two new construction homes in the neighborhood of Woodmont that you might like to go see, just for their quality of construction. Those Woodmont homes are listed closer to $2million, but the cost of the land is an integral part of the cost of the home. One of those homes is already under contract, but the other is currently still active.

You can contact the Ventura Group directly at 703-536-8576, or ask for Jerry at 703-898-8785. Most builders will honor a commission to the buying agent, and that is something that can help you. There are a myriad of details that need to be worked out when you're working with a builder, and you often need some leverage to get them through the final punch list. Of course the commission is free to you -- as you probably know, the commission is always paid by the seller.

Let me know if you contact Ventura. I think they're a wonderful builder. There are lots of other local builders, and it is a good idea to be sure you're working with a builder who is financially strong, as lots of them are experiencing financial difficulties these days.

Best of luck to you,
