Dade City, FL - May 5, 2026

The best decision we made during our home-building journey was working with Rich Noto. His knowledge and dedication stood out from start to finish.

His service is free to the buyer (the builder pays), yet you get a true advocate. Rich is more than a realtor—he’s a construction expert who understands every phase of a new build. He ensured we had a pre-slab inspection, giving us confidence from the start.

He held the builder accountable, caught issues early, and was always responsive. He helped us find and vet home inspectors for each construction phase, and showed us how to create a strong repair list. He even reviewed our emails and guided our approach.

Most importantly, Rich found solutions and kept everything moving. His goal is for you to have the best-built home in your community. If you’re building in Wesley Chapel, Florida, or nearby areas like Zephyrhills, Dade City, San Antonio, Land O' Lakes, Riverview, Parrish, Lakeland, or Plant City, I highly recommend Rich.

I was unsure about hiring a realtor for our new construction home. Even knowing the builder pays the commission, I thought I could handle it myself and that the process would be simple. I was wrong.

Like many of Rich’s clients, my wife and I found his videos online. After watching a few, we called him, and that ended up being one of the best decisions we made. From the first conversation, he was not focused on selling “the dream.” He was focused on making sure we understood the new construction process and that things were done the right way.

Once we were under contract, it became clear to us how complicated new construction really is and how dismissive some builders can be when addressing concerns. Rich knew what to look for, how to deal with the builder, when to push back, and how to navigate the process when issues came up. He gave honest, straightforward advice the entire time. In the end, his guidance helped us get out of a bad situation and move forward with another new home.

I highly recommend Rich Noto for new home construction. He was a fantastic advocate throughout my build, especially since I was relocating from Pennsylvania to Florida. Living states away, he sent detailed videos of construction progress and found defects during various inspections. His communication and availability far exceeded my expectations.

Rich has a keen eye for potential issues and a deep understanding of building codes that many other agents, and even some inspectors, might miss. He truly knows the critical phases of construction, from the foundation on, and when to schedule inspections. He understands the tricks builders use to hide problems and is a fierce advocate for his clients. I have no doubt he saved me from future headaches. He is an invaluable resource who ensured I ended up with a high-quality home.

I highly recommend Rich Noto for anyone considering a new construction home. The process of buying a new build requires an agent who not only understands the sales transaction but, more importantly, knows the ins and outs of the construction process.

Rich was a fantastic advocate throughout my build, especially since I was relocating from Pennsylvania to Florida. While living states away, he made detailed videos of defects found during various inspections, as well as videos showing the progress. His communication and availability far exceeded my expectations.

Rich truly knows the critical phases of construction and when to schedule inspections, starting with the foundation and continuing beyond. He understands the tricks builders use to hide problems and knows exactly how to advocate for his clients. When my builder's construction manager was missing items and failing to resolve issues, Rich stepped in, met with the builder face-to-face, and got everything resolved. He was the keystone that held the entire process together.

As first-time homebuyers in Florida, we truly appreciated Richard’s experience and guidance throughout the entire real estate process. He always acted in our best interest and offered valuable tips during the construction of our home. One of the most helpful recommendations he made was to conduct multiple home inspections during the construction phase. This proactive approach helped us avoid costly issues down the line. We're very grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone navigating the home buying journey.
