Purchasing a Showcase Home

You’ve made a great choice to build your dream home so let’s make sure we get all the paperwork handled right up front. An earnest money deposit to Allen Edwin Homes can be paid electronically or by check. You will receive a signed copy of your purchase agreement from your sales counselor and email that to your lender. At this time all structural options must be selected from the structural options catalog.

Allen Edwin Homes will work with your lender to ensure you receive a valid mortgage approval for your home. We strongly recommend using one of our preferred lenders who are familiar with the Allen Edwin Homes process. Preferred lenders have proven to do the best job at providing our customers with the best interest rates, low closing costs, timely approvals, and high customer satisfaction. Your goal is to complete this step within three days of purchase.

Your loan counselor will work with you to obtain a loan approval for your new home. In addition, they will provide you with information regarding how much you can spend to customize your home at the Design Studio. Your goal is to complete this step within 15 days from signing your purchase agreement. Your mortgage approval amount will limit the amount of options you can choose at the Design Studio. The Design Studio consultants may not exceed the amount of your mortgage approval for your home.

After framing is complete, the mechanical installation, heating and cooling, electrical and plumbing is your next step. From mechanical start, it will be approximately 3-4 months until the completion of your home. Your production manager will inspect and manage the quality assurance of your home during the construction process. Your Production Manager will provide weekly updates as construction progresses on your home.

Your lender will verify employment, credit score and bank statements. A timely response to your lender’s requests can equal a timely closing! You will be notified by the Allen Edwin Closing Team 14 days prior to your scheduled close date.

It’s time to get introduced to your new home. We think you’ll make a great match! Your home is nearing completion and your production manager will schedule your new home orientation meeting. During the meeting, your production manager will present your new home to you and demonstrate everything was completed to Allen Edwin Homes model finish standards. Your production manager will also review and educate you on how to operate the features and the benefits of your new home.

Your dream home now becomes a reality. We have completed the finishing touches and your home has received the certificate of occupancy. Upon funding of your end loan you will receive the new keys to your Allen Edwin Home.
