Meritage includes spray-foam insulation, Low-E windows and high-performance HVAC, and it has been named an ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence eleven times. Its site explains the HERS Index — lower is more efficient, and a typical new home scores around 100 — so ask for the score of the plan you are considering.

Yes, and register them before your first visit. The on-site agent works for Meritage. Buyer representation gives you an advocate on incentives, the options, contingencies and the pre-closing walk-through. The builder usually pays the buyer's agent's commission, and the written agreement you sign with your agent sets their pay — we walk you through ours before that first visit, so you know whether any of it would fall to you.
