Alex Sung is the founder and publisher of New Home Know It All. He sells new construction homes for a living in Katy, Texas, which means he spends every week inside the part of the process most buyers only see once: model home tours, lot selection, contracts, build timelines, incentives, and closings. He started New Home Know It All to publish the specifics that are hard to find anywhere else, covering builders and communities across Katy and the 77493 area factually and without a sales pitch. He is not a licensed real estate agent, and nothing published here is real estate, legal, lending, or tax advice.
