Why More Teachers Are Buying New Construction Homes
Many educators moving to the Austin area are choosing new construction homes because builders often provide:
- closing cost incentives
- rate buy-downs
- appliance packages
- warranty coverage
- and lower maintenance costs.
However, many buyers do not realize that builder sales representatives work for the builder — not the buyer.
That is why having your own representation matters.
The Teacher Home Program and David Sammon help buyers:
- compare builders
- negotiate incentives
- review contracts
- understand timelines
- coordinate inspections
- and protect their interests throughout the process.

Depending on the transaction and allowable programs, buyers may benefit from:
- rebate or credit opportunities
- builder incentive guidance
- relocation assistance
- preferred lender connections
- local market expertise
- school and community insights
- personalized home searches
- and ongoing support after closing.
The program also focuses on giving back to schools and communities through partnerships and donations tied to real estate transactions.

Moving to San Antonio as a Teacher
Why many teachers are moving to the San Antonio area
San Antonio has become one of the fastest-growing destinations in Texas for educators, families, and professionals looking for affordability, opportunity, and a strong sense of community.

For many educators relocating to Texas, San Antonio provides something increasingly difficult to find in larger metro areas:
the ability to build a career while still creating financial stability through homeownership.
That is one reason why the Teacher Home Program and educator-led Realtor David Sammon continue helping teachers and school employees successfully relocate to the San Antonio area.

- coordinate inspections
