Choose Your Location & Floor Plan
One of the many benefits of new construction homes is the potential to customize your home to fit your needs.
You will meet with the builder to confirm your location, floor plan, and details of the types of fixtures and allowances for kitchen cabinets, counters, appliances, bathroom vanities, etc, etc.
Verify Finances
Confirm the method of purchase. For buyers seeking financing, there will be an approval process to verify financial qualifications.
There are a variety of loan programs with different down payment amounts.
A mortgage pre-approval letter is required before any formal acceptance of an agreement.
Go to Contract
