Modern Collection — varies by plan; Club is always +$240/month

Buying at Trilogy Sunstone: why you want your own agent
Shea Homes has on-site sales representatives. They’re knowledgeable and professional — and they work for Shea, not you. Shea pays the buyer’s agent commission separately from your purchase price, so you get independent representation without adding to your cost. In practice: honest lot selection guidance, help reviewing HOA documents and CC&Rs, contract review, and no stake in Shea’s outcome.
I’ve personally walked every model at Trilogy Sunstone. I know which floor plans suit which lifestyles, which lot features matter for each collection, and how the Crescendo priority list works in practice.
