Austin Sorrenti × Real Estate Partners
New-build advice.
Research to possession.
The builder knows its homes. Your advisor should know how to compare builders, ask construction-aware questions and keep your interests visible through a long, milestone-driven purchase.
Why Austin
A Calgary specialist with a construction foundation
Austin Sorrenti is a third-generation Calgarian and Real Estate Partners agent. Before real estate, he built more than a decade of residential, commercial and industrial experience and qualified as a Red Seal Journeyman Electrician. That background is useful when a buyer needs to translate plans, systems, upgrades and construction milestones into practical decisions.
Austin and the REP team work with Calgary-area builders and sales teams, but the relationship is kept clear: a builder representative speaks for the builder; when REP represents you, the team advises and negotiates from the buyer’s side.
Read Austin’s biography and contact detailsLot, plan and specification review
Separate standard features from upgrades, examine lot orientation and constraints, and compare usable layouts instead of relying on model-home presentation alone.
Price and incentive comparison
Build a complete-cost view that includes lot premiums, structural options, design selections, closing adjustments and any incentive conditions.
Contract and milestone coordination
Identify questions for your lawyer and lender, track deposits and conditions, and keep selections, walkthroughs and possession dates organized.
Construction-informed walkthroughs
Austin’s Red Seal electrical and construction background helps the conversation move beyond finishes to practical systems, sequencing and documentation.
Possession and warranty preparation
Prepare for the pre-possession walkthrough, deficiency reporting, warranty start dates and the first-year maintenance calendar.
Bring REP in before the first showhome visit
Builder registration and co-operation practices vary. Connecting early gives the team time to understand your search, clarify its role and confirm the process with each builder before you register or sign anything.

Already visited a showhome?
Tell us which builder, when you visited and what you registered or signed. We can discuss your options without assuming every builder uses the same co-operation policy.
How is REP paid?
Ask how fees or builder-paid compensation would apply to your transaction. We do not promise universally free representation, a particular incentive or a lower purchase price.
What should you bring?
Your area shortlist, comfortable budget, timeline and questions. Keep sensitive financial records and contracts out of the public inquiry planner; arrange an appropriate way to share them with the relevant professional.
