Who Should Represent You When Buying at Agave Boca?
Agave Boca has not opened for sales, which means the most important buying decisions are still ahead of every buyer: which residence, which position in the site plan, which structural options, what to spend at the design center, and how to time a purchase against selling a current home. The builder’s sales team will guide you through those decisions from GL Homes’ side of the table. An independent buyer’s agent sits on yours. For that role, Ryan Jabbour of The Jabbour Group at Keller Williams Realty Boca Raton offers something rare: he has personally been the GL Homes buyer, the GL Homes homeowner, and the agent selling GL Homes resales, in this exact corridor.
Last Updated: August 18, 2026. Agave Boca is a GL Homes community. Ryan Jabbour and The Jabbour Group are independent of GL Homes and are not affiliated with or endorsed by the builder.
Why Ryan Jabbour’s GL Homes Experience Matters at Agave Boca
Agave Boca has no resale history yet, so no agent can honestly claim an Agave sales record. What a buyer can evaluate is documented GL Homes experience. Ryan’s runs the full lifecycle:
- As a GL Homes homeowner. Ryan has personally purchased and built GL Homes residences and lived in both Lotus Palm and Lotus Edge. He knows what happens after the sales presentation ends: the construction timeline, the walkthroughs, and what the ownership experience is actually like.
- As a new-construction buyer. He has sat on the buyer’s side of the GL Homes process himself, in Lotus Palm and in the process involving Lotus Edge, making the same lot, structural and design-center decisions an Agave buyer will face.
- As someone who has been through it across community generations. From helping his sister-in-law through her home in the original Lotus, to his own homes in Lotus Palm and Lotus Edge, he has watched GL Homes’ product, pricing and process evolve across three community generations.
- As a listing agent. His team’s public record shows 16 listing sides in Lotus Palm and 3 in Lotus Edge, including both community record sales. Selling those homes shows exactly which original construction choices help at resale and which do not.
- As a buyer’s agent. Six of those closings included the buyer side, so he also sees what resale buyers pay premiums for, and what they walk past.
- As the active specialist in the surrounding market. Lotus Palm, Lotus Edge and the original Lotus form the immediate competitive and resale market around Agave Boca. Ryan closes in it continuously; his full ledger is public on the Lotus Palm and Lotus Edge agent pages.
That is the difference in one sentence: Ryan does not merely sell homes near GL Homes communities. He has personally lived through the process his clients are about to undertake.
What I Know From Actually Building With GL Homes
In Ryan’s words:
I have been through the GL Homes process as a buyer more than once, lived in the communities, helped family build in the original Lotus, and then sold GL homes for other owners years after their construction decisions were made. A few things I tell every new-construction client come straight from that experience.
The homesite decision outlasts every other decision. Finishes can be changed later. The lot cannot. In our closed Lotus Palm sales, five homes with the same recorded 4,605 square feet sold across a $370,000 spread, and lot position was a major driver of that gap. When a site plan is released, knowing which positions carry real long-term premiums, and which premiums the builder charges that resale buyers will not repay, is where representation earns its keep first.
Structural options are forever; design-center finishes are not. Anything that changes the structure, the extra bedroom or bath, the garage configuration, the club or loft space, is realistically a one-time decision at contract. I have sold homes where a four-car garage helped carry a record price, and homes where expensive cosmetic upgrades returned far less than they cost. Spend on structure first, and be skeptical of design-center spending that only reproduces what a buyer could add after closing.
Square footage does not set the price; the right configuration does. Two Lotus Edge homes our team closed on the same day sold within about $3,200 of each other with nearly 2,000 square feet of difference between them, roughly $713 per square foot against $439. In a townhome community like Agave Boca, where residences will share size bands, configuration and position will separate values even more sharply.
Walk through like the future seller. At the walkthrough stage, I bring a punch-list mentality, because I have stood in listing appointments years later where the small unresolved items became the buyer objections. And before any contract is signed, I want my client to understand exactly what is included versus what is an upgrade, because that gap is where new-construction budgets break.
Where a topic is not covered here, it is because it depends on details GL Homes has not released for Agave Boca yet. Those sections will be added as the builder publishes floor plans, options and site information.
Building for Today — Without Hurting Tomorrow’s Resale
Most new-construction buyers make their decisions once and find out at resale whether they were right. Ryan’s clients get the feedback loop in advance, because he is simultaneously selling the resales of homes whose construction choices were made years ago. From that seat he sees which layouts attract resale buyers, which homesite characteristics command premiums, which upgrades buyers actually notice at showings, which expensive options never recover their cost, and what makes a competing home sit on the market. The 16 Lotus Palm and 3 Lotus Edge closings in his public record, spanning $1.85 million to $3.3 million, are that feedback loop in writing.
The principle for Agave Boca buyers is simple: Ryan advises a new-construction purchase while thinking like the future listing agent who may one day have to sell that same residence. Every option, lot and dollar is weighed against what the next buyer will pay for it.
