Timing a Parterre Resale Around Builder Releases
A Parterre resale competes against whatever the builder happens to be releasing that month. How to read the three stages of a release cycle and time a listing around the calendar.
Thornton's newest master-planned community: five named neighborhoods on 800 acres at Quebec & E-470. Represented by a team that pairs live MLS data with the builder relationships and quick move-in inventory that public portals don't show.
The Parterre Difference
A large share of Parterre homes are sold directly by the builder and never reach the public MLS. By the time the typical buyer sees the listings on Zillow, they're seeing roughly half of what's actually available, and the homes that hit the portal first are rarely the best values.
Public real estate portals pull from the MLS on a lag. By the time a new Parterre listing appears on Zillow® or Realtor.com®, it has typically already been shown, and sometimes already taken.
A large percentage of new homes at Parterre are sold directly by the builder before they ever appear on the MLS. Quick move-in homes, unannounced floor plan releases, and premium homesites move through the builder's sales office first, not Zillow.
We maintain the full builder inventory list, including quick move-in homes that don't appear on public portals, and we pair it with direct MLS access for any Parterre resale. The result: you see every home that's actually available, not just the ones that made it online.

The Neighborhood
Parterre is an 800-acre master-planned community in Thornton, being built across five named neighborhoods. The streets are new, the trees are young, and the floor plans are still being released. Buying here means choosing a community that will grow into itself over the next decade.
The first phase, currently active. A mix of detached single-family homes and attached townhome-style plans on a curvilinear street pattern, with corner lots, end-of-cul-de-sac homesites, and homes backing to open space on the most desirable parcels.
Walk the neighborhoods ›Immediately adjacent to Parterre, Heritage Todd Creek is a 55+ active-adult community with substantial lifestyle programming. Different audience, similar geography. Many Parterre buyers tour both before deciding.
Compare communities ›The community sits at the intersection of Quebec Street and E-470, with reasonable access to I-25 and DIA. Five-minute drive to Heritage Todd Creek; under thirty minutes to most of the metro Denver business corridors.

A deliberate six-stage engagement, designed around how new-construction buyers should actually shop a community like Parterre. Patient, informed, and protective of your negotiating position from the first builder visit forward.
A private conversation about your criteria, timeline, and lifestyle priorities. No pressure, no pitch. Just listening.
The full Parterre inventory list direct from the builder, including quick move-in homes and unannounced releases that don't appear on Zillow or Redfin, paired with a real-time MLS feed tuned to your exact preferences.
Showings scheduled around your calendar, coordinated discreetly with the builder's representative. We register you on arrival to preserve your right to representation throughout the transaction.
New construction is different. With two decades of experience selling new homes and working with builders, we know exactly what to ask for to get our buyers concessions: rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, design center allowances, premium-lot reductions.
For build-to-order homes, we attend the design center appointment, the major construction milestones, and the final walkthrough. For quick move-in homes, we manage inspection findings, builder warranty items, lender liaison, and title review.
Vendor introductions, school admissions contacts, neighborhood orientation, and ongoing market intel after move-in. The relationship doesn't end at closing.
Selling In Parterre
The industry norm is a six-percent commission and a generic marketing playbook recycled from one listing to the next. We've built our practice the other way around: top-notch marketing, precision pricing, expert negotiation, and a fee structure that returns real equity to the seller.

What Our Clients Say
David helped us buy a 4-bedroom home for only $1,650 down. We used a down payment grant program and David helped us get a $5,000 seller concession to help pay the remainder of our closing costs. This allowed us to buy a home with almost no money down.
David and Tom did a fantastic job selling our home. They were very professional and responded quickly to every question. We were out-of-state selling our home, which adds complexity, but with the system that David and Tom have, the sale was quick and easy. We had an accepted offer within a few days and closed within a month.
David respected our price limits and only showed us homes within our budget. We are able to afford our home perfectly. We loved David's attention to detail and the way he was always very honest instead of trying to act like a potential problem didn't exist.
Your Parterre New-Construction Advisors
The Principal Team is David Lampe and Tom Grant, a small, experienced practice with two decades of experience selling new homes and working with builders. Many buyers incorrectly believe they'll get a better deal by walking into a builder's sales office unrepresented. The opposite is true: the builder's representative is friendly and seems to be on your side, but they actually represent the builder and are working to get the best deal for the builder. We work for you, and we know exactly what to ask for to get our buyers concessions.
