It costs money to build a house. We have worked hard to streamline the process as much as possible, and decrease the number of payments you must make. You’ll pay for all your deposits separately: initial agreement of sale, floorplan options, and your Selection Gallery choices. So you’ll need to be aware of your account a few different times along the way:

• Pre-approval — your account needs to reflect to the bank that you have the financial potential to purchase a home.
• Deposit — $5,000.
• Mortgage application
• Deposit for upgrades — you’ll need 50% of whatever you choose. This can be anywhere from $5,000 - $100,000 (we promise the morning room is worth it!).
• Mortgage commitment
• Appraisal
• Closing — the last check! You’ll need a certified check for any funds owed.

As the top home builders in PA, we pride ourselves on inviting our customers into the process as much as possible. We want you to know exactly how we do things and allow you to weigh in as much as you want. This does take some time, so we want to give you the chance to evaluate your calendar and plan to come to meet with us. Here is what the time commitment looks like:

• 1 hour for a Selection Gallery Virtual Tour
• 8-12 hours (over a few different meeting days) to choose your floorplan, and structural options and to sign your Agreement of Sale
• 2-4 hours to make selections at Selection Gallery
• 2-3 hours for the pre-construction walkthrough
• 2-3 hours for the pre-settlement orientation
  
• 30 minutes for zero defect walkthrough
• 2 hours for closing

We want to be as transparent as possible and let you know that there will be bumps along the way. Not because we aren’t good at what we do, but because there are so many moving parts when building a home in PA. There is a lot that is out of everyone’s control, but we are proud of our process and communication. We will communicate with you as much as possible, keeping you in the loop each step of the way. Here are those steps so you can keep track of when you’ll be hearing from us the most:

• Writing your agreement
• Selection appointment
• Pre-construction meeting
• Pre-drywall meeting
• Pre-settlement orientation
• Zero defect meeting
• Closing

Don't forget, we offer a referral reward for you when you refer a friend who purchases with us!
