- The Warm Up
Before you start out on your homebuying quest, you'll need to prequalify with our preferred lender. It's free, and it will tell you how much you are qualified to borrow. - The Purchase
So you've fallen in love with the perfect home. To secure this home, you'll need to pay a deposit and make an appointment with your sales counselor to complete the purchase contract. The number of purchasing documents can be intimidating, but don't worry. We'll find a quiet spot for you to read them carefully. You'll find they aren't so scary after all. Keep paper and a pen handy to jot down things that come up? Questions are natural, your sales counselors are available to answer them for you. As with any legal document, make certain you are comfortable in your understanding before signing. - The Money
It's time for the loan, and not all money is created equal. A representative from our preferred mortgage lender will meet with you to discuss your situation and tailor a home loan that's just right for you. If you choose to use our preferred lender, we'll provide an extra incentive to you for the time savings and efficient processing. You can talk with the lender about including additional purchases like design options and upgrades in your mortgage. Next, your loan application is submitted. The lender orders a credit report and verifications are made. Your "good faith" and truth in lending statements are issued. After your home has been appraised, the loan amount is confirmed, your loan is approved and documents are issued. - The Fun Part
Make your home "truly you" with an array of selections and custom options. Now's your chance to let your personality shine! Our sales counselors and design center staff coordinators are ready to help and our design center is filled with imaginative choices to suit your tastes. While you're oohing and ahhing, however, it's best to keep your lifestyle in mind. Perhaps you'd like a home office. Special kitchen counters. Mix and match ? these are the details that will really make your house a home. If you are interested in the options, be sure to learn about the construction cut-off dates. - The Construction Site
Watching your home's progress is exciting, and visits are welcomed. For your safety and security, please ask for and observe our "ground rules from the ground up." Drop in on your home. It's fun. It's also a great way to see the quality of the construction, and get "insights on the insides." Later, these insights will help you understand where things are and how things work. So plan to drop in. Take pictures for a scrapbook. But remember to be careful while you're there! - The Check Out
Homeowner orientation is your opportunity to learn about the features and maintenance of your new home, and to make sure we've delivered everything to your satisfaction. You're officially in the homestretch. From the moment you walk through the door, smell the new carpet and marvel at your options, you'll be overwhelmed realizing that your dream is being delivered. You'll learn interesting tidbits about the features, as well as great maintenance tips. Please look around carefully. Ask questions. Take notes. We're committed to making sure you're happy. - The Closing
Just a few more details, and you get the happy ending. The Escrow company confirms your closing. Funds are received and the Grant Deed and Deed of Trust are recorded. Your final closing statement is prepared and your title is issued. It's all downhill from here, where your wonderful reward is waiting. Start planning the housewarming party and collect your keys. - Happily ever after
