Get the Best of Both Worlds When Buying a Home

Written by Jessica Goldberg | Mar 3, 2025 4:09:10 PM

Weighing the benefits of new vs. used homes? Now you can get the best of both.

Meritage Homes, the fifth largest public home builder in the US, based on homes closed in 2023, has started 2025 like no other new home builder, with an all-new agent-centric strategy. Rather than just focusing on home buyers, they are now positioning real estate agents as their core customers and trusted expert partners. A new loyalty and rewards program has been rolled out to encourage agents to do continued business with Meritage – this includes benefits like hosting Open Houses and being added to the new Agent Finder tool on their website in the case someone is without a real estate agent.

Meritage Homes now also offers a Closing-Ready Guarantee, ensuring your home is ready to close within 60 days or less. If delays occur, they’ll reimburse up to $5,000 in related expenses. This eliminates long construction timelines and seller-dependent schedules. Additionally, their Move-In Ready homes come with a full set of new Whirlpool® appliances—including a refrigerator, range, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer—as well as whole-home blinds, all included in the price. This provides a turnkey experience with the benefits of a brand-new home. For details, speak with a Meritage Homes Sales Counselor.
