This is where you buy your Creative home! By now you should have selected your desired floor plan and homesite within the community. Your New Home Specialist will walk you through each step of this purchase agreement to help you understand everything that is being covered. At this point, everything becomes official and the process begins!
When you sign your purchase agreement, you will submit an earnest money check to the New Home Specialist. This simply represents that you are ready and willing to move forward and allows us to get started on your plans.
After your New Home Specialist receives your preliminary set of plans, you will have a structural review meeting with your New Home Specialist to review your plans. This is where you will review all of your selected plan options and review the structure of your home! Once everything is good to go, you will then approve on the plans for your home!
After signing a purchase agreement, you will have 30 days to receive a pre-approval letter from a lender of your choice. At Creative Homes, our preferred lender that we work with is Better Built Mortgage. Your Mortgage Coach at Better Built will be involved throughout the construction of your home, to ensure your financing is squared away prior to close. When using a preferred lender, you get $6,000 off closing costs!* Promotion varies by community. Talk to a New Home Specialist for further details and important legal disclaimers.
Learn MorePrior to breaking ground on your homesite, you will meet with your New Home Specialist and Neighborhood Builder to verify your plans and homesite survey. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions about the “nuts and bolts” of your home and to understand the construction process.
Prior to the installation of your mechanical systems such as your electrical, heating, cooling, and plumbing, you will go on a Pre-Drywall Tour with your Neighborhood Builder. At this meeting, you will verify the location of the outlets and switches in your home.
You are welcome to visit your homesite accompanied by your Neighborhood Builder or New Home Specialist throughout the construction of your home. At Creative Homes, safety is our number one priority, so we ask that you always wear close toed shoes, and a hard hat which the Neighborhood Builder or New Home Specialist will provide you when necessary. Please do not enter your home without a Creative Homes representative with you.
As the completion of your new home nears, we will contact you to schedule your closing date. Our goal is to provide you with a closing approximately 30 days prior to completion.
Your Welcome Home Orientation is an introduction to your new home and its many features. During this Orientation, we will:
Demonstrate the features of your new home.
Verify that your selections are installed per plan and identify corrections that need to be addressed, if any.
Review our Warranty Process including discussing the 60-day & 11-month check ins.
This is where you become Creative Homes homeowner! At the closing table, you will be handed the keys to your new home! We will guide you every step of the way through the signing process and work with your lender to help you understand what you will need to bring to the closing table. From this point on, Welcome Home to your brand-new Creative Home!
60 days after you close on your new home, you will be sent a survey form a third-party survey company called Constellation Homebuilder Systems. Please take time to fill out this survey as it provides us with important information on how to continue to improve our business to provide you and future homeowners with an unmatched customer experience.
We will contact you to schedule a warranty check in within 60 days after closing, and 11 months after closing. During these check ins, we will review your home, and address any concerns you may have, if any, regarding the warrantable items of your home. Please reference the Limited Warranty Manual to understand our Warranty. You can also review our warranty here.
This is the second home we have built and after the horrible experience we had the first time, I said we would never do it again. Thankfully, our experience with Creative Homes was the exact opposite. We have had a wonderful experience with the quality and detail of the home and everyone we have met from Creative Homes.
Our family recently purchased a move in ready home from Creative Homes and we absolutely love it. The design and quality of the home was done with great attention to detail. The staff, in all phases of our purchase, was amazingly accommodating and professional. I would recommend Creative to anyone who is looking to move into a new house or build a new house!
I really enjoyed the weekly calls with the builder. It made me feel like I knew what progress was happening during the build, and really set a tone of trust with the builder that I wasn't expecting. I found those conversations, even when very short, to be extremely helpful in staying calm during the build process.
Everyone at Creative Homes was very easy to work with. They were very kind, helpful, professional and helped us through some ARC roadblocks so we could get the home we always wanted. My husband and I highly recommend Creative Homes!
