Our Process
Step One
Request a Sales Packet. This packet includes the floor plans, spec. sheets, pricing, and even Lender
recommendations.
Determine which plan suits you and your budget. Getting “pre-qualified” with a lender, if
applicable, can help you in figuring out what that budget should be. ** See more about
financing below.
Make a list of all the upgrades and the “minor” changes you may want to make to get a formal
quote, which can be tuned to suit your budget prior to contract. This quote will become the “exhibit
A” to your contract.
Step Two
You will need a lot. If you already own a lot, please send us the address. Our office will be happy
to do a free lot evaluation and site check, normally within 24 hours. This lot evaluation will include a
thorough online check of the lot in question for such things as Eagle Zones, Flood zones, whether or
not it benefits from Public Utilities, the actual size of the lot, and much more. The site check involves
an actual visit to determine the power pole location, whether or not it needs clearing, fill, has
endangered species, amongst a host of other items. This step is crucial as the lot improvements can
significantly impact your total project price and/or build time. We feel, very strongly, that our buyers
know all possible costs up front so when the project proceeds, no additional surprises are un-
covered.
If you do not already have a lot, any realtor can assist you with this purchase or we can recommend
one to you. Again, prior to the purchase, we would like the opportunity to thoroughly check the lot
for you.
Step Three
Contract and Deposit. The next step is to go into a contract. There is a $2,500 deposit required if
you are looking to obtain financing for the project. (The balance of the 10% will be obtained from
your lender at time of closing). There is a 10% deposit for cash buyers. Those seeking financing are
asked to take their contract to their Lender, along with a copy of their deposit check, to get the ball
rolling. We can also forward this documentation directly to your Lender for you, with your
permission, of course.
