Next Steps

12 steps to a new low maintenance lifestyle!

We are excited to be involved in your decision to make a lifestyle change. You probably haven't bought a new home for many years, and possibly never experienced the process of building one. We want you to take the time you need to feel comfortable with your decision. We will never pressure you for answers. Here is the typical process to purchase one of our homes...

1. Visit our model home and the development (if you are working with an agent, please advise us right away). Many buyers visit us several times before they are comfortable with the thought of a lifestyle change.

2. Reserve your favorite lot with a $1000 refundable deposit for 14 days. 

3. Schedule a meeting with Elizabeth, Leanne or Kitty to choose the options you would like in your home. This will establish your proposed investment. No color choices are needed at this time. 

4. Go home to review and discuss. Make a list of questions and any changes. We can meet again or discuss over the phone or via email. If you are not ready to move forward, your lot reservation deposit will be returned. 

5. Schedule a meeting to sign the purchase documents. Additional funds ARE NOT required at this time. The $1000 lot reservation check will become the first payment towards the $10,000 construction deposit required to start building your home. 

6. You will receive the booklet which explains the operation of the homeowner's association. You will have 10 days to review the documents and choose to move forward with your purchase or cancel your purchase. 

7. A sketch of your home with the structural options you choose will be forwarded to our architect - Phillips Planning. In approximately one week, we will receive a PDF of the proposed structure via email for review. After we have approved, full size blueprints will be drawn. We will let you know when you can pick up your personal copy from the model home. 

8. Once we have received the building permit from the city of Elk River, we will schedule the meeting to choose your colors for cabinets, countertops, flooring, paint, etc. 

9. When excavation begins, the remainder of the construction deposit will be due ($9000). 

10. If you have a home to sell, we will start the process to prepare for the sale. If you have hired another company to list your home, we will be in close communication to work towards having one move. 

11. Before closing, we will walk through to introduce you to your beautiful new home, explain our warranty program, answer questions, provide mailbox and house keys and garage door openers. 

12. See you at closing! 

Please note: If you are in contract with an agent/brokerage to represent you in a real estate transaction, they are required to attend all meetings/visits to our model home to fulfill their contract.
