Cost of Own Luxury Homes® new construction buyer representation at every Wellness Way builder
Buying new construction in Wellness Way is not the same as buying a resale. The builder's sales agent works for the builder. The builder's contract is written to protect the builder. The builder's preferred lender is not necessarily the best rate. Own Luxury Homes® is the buyer's advocate in every one of these decisions — and the builder pays the commission.
CRITICAL: Register Own Luxury Homes® as your buyer's agent BEFORE your first contact with any Wellness Way builder — model home visit, website inquiry, or phone call. Late registration is not honored by any active Wellness Way builder.
Contract Review
Own Luxury Homes® reviews every clause of the builder's contract: escalation clauses, inspection rights, change order procedures, closing date flexibility, and cancellation terms.
Upgrade ROI Strategy
Not all upgrades add resale value. Own Luxury Homes® guides every design center selection for maximum resale ROI — which upgrades to take, which to skip, which to negotiate.
Lot Selection Intelligence
Lot position matters: lake views, corner lots, cul-de-sacs, and proximity to community amenities all affect resale value. We know which lots are worth the premium.
Preferred Lender Comparison
Builder preferred lenders offer incentives (closing cost credits) in exchange for a slightly higher rate. Own Luxury Homes® helps you run the math to determine if the incentive is worth the rate.
Construction Milestone Inspections
We schedule independent inspections at pre-drywall, framing, and final walkthrough milestones — the stages where defects are visible and correctable before closing.
Phase Timing Intelligence
We track which phase each builder is in across every Wellness Way community — so you know whether you're at Phase 1 entry pricing or paying the Phase 3 premium.
Ryan Brown — Principal Broker & CEO, FL BK3626873The builder's sales agent is professionally obligated to represent the builder. They are not your advocate. Own Luxury Homes® is. And the builder pays our commission — not you. There is no rational reason to walk into a Wellness Way sales center without registering a buyer's agent first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Wellness Way corridor in Clermont FL?
Wellness Way is a 15,000+ acre planned mixed-use development corridor in Clermont, Lake County FL, anchored by the future Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) health campus and several new master-planned residential communities. The corridor runs along the Olympus development near US-27 and FL-50, approximately 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 30-35 minutes from the I-4 corridor. Communities in the corridor include Del Webb Lakehaven, Esplanade at McKinnon Groves, Hickory Groves, Panther Run, Integra Heights, Lakehaven Estates, Parkside Trails, Reflections at Olympus, and Wellness Ridge. Ryan Brown · FL BK3626873.
Is Wellness Way a good place to buy in 2026?
Wellness Way and the Clermont/Olympus corridor offer new construction in a market that is 20-25 minutes from Disney World, has significant infrastructure investment underway (Olympus development, US-27 widening, new Lake County schools), and has lower price points than comparable Orlando/Orange County communities. Lake County has no CDD in most Wellness Way communities (check with OLH for each specific community), which reduces monthly cost of ownership. Ryan Brown · FL BK3626873 covers all active Wellness Way builders.
