OUR 7 STEPS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP
1. SELECT YOUR FLOOR PLAN AND HOMESITE
Choosing the perfect floor plan and home site is the exciting first step in your homebuying journey. At Comerio Homes, we offer a diverse range of thoughtfully designed floor plans to fit various lifestyles and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a cozy starter home or a spacious family residence, our team will help you explore options that meet your needs.
Once you’ve selected your ideal floor plan, you’ll choose a home site that complements your vision and lifestyle. We offer homes at all price ranges that can be built in a variety of locations/communities, including on your own land! When choosing a homesite, consider community amenities, schools, shopping, recreation, taxes, etc. We’re here to provide guidance and answer any questions to ensure you make an informed decision and find a home that truly feels like yours.
2. SELECT YOUR BUYER OPTIONS & UPGRADES
In this crucial second step of your homebuying journey, you’ll have the opportunity to personalize your new home by selecting from a range of buyer options and upgrades. This is where you decide on larger, impactful features such as finishing your basement, adding extra cabinets, installing a deck, or opting for a walkout package. These choices allow you to tailor your home to fit your lifestyle and preferences, enhancing both its functionality and appeal. Our design team will guide you through this process, helping you understand each option’s benefits and how they can align with your vision for your new home. This step ensures that your home not only meets your needs but also reflects your unique style and desires.
3. REVIEW FINAL PRICING
Once you’ve made your selections, it’s time to review the final pricing for your new home to ensure everything is in order before moving forward. This step provides a comprehensive overview of the costs associated with your new home, including any upgrades and options you’ve chosen, and also includes two important sub-steps: discussing financing options and finalizing the earnest money deposit.
First, we will provide you with our list of preferred lenders and financial experts who will work with you to explore and discuss various financing options, including mortgage types, interest rates, and loan terms. This discussion is essential for finding a financing solution that best fits your budget and long-term financial goals.
Next, we’ll review the details of the earnest money deposit, which is to secure your commitment to purchasing the home. We’ll explain the deposit amount, its role in the overall transaction, and how it will be applied toward your purchase. This step ensures that you have a clear understanding of the financial aspects of your new home, setting the stage for a smooth transition to the next phase of your homebuying journey.
4. FINALIZE YOUR NEW HOME PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH A DEPOSIT
With the final pricing in hand, you’ll proceed to finalize your new home purchase agreement. This step involves a thorough review and signing of the purchase agreement, which details all the terms, conditions, and specifications of your home purchase. Our team will assist you in understanding each clause to ensure everything aligns with your expectations. Additionally, you will make the initial earnest money deposit (EMD) at this time. This deposit is a critical part of the process, demonstrating your commitment and securing your place in the purchase agreement. Completing this step officially moves you closer to becoming a homeowner and lays the groundwork for the next phases of your homebuying journey.
5. PERSONALIZE YOUR HOME AT OUR DESIGN CENTER
Once the new home purchase agreement is executed and processed, you’ll have a chance to bring your vision to life, at our state-of-the-art Design Center. This step of the homebuying process allows you to make personalized selections for exterior and interior finishes and features, creating a space that reflects your unique taste. From choosing paint colors and countertops to selecting fixtures and flooring, our Design Center offers a wide range of options to help you craft your perfect home. Our design experts are available to offer advice, guide you through this step, and ensure your choices come together harmoniously.
6. WATCH YOUR DREAM BECOME A REALITY
Once the design selections have been finalized, the home is placed on the Construction Schedule. As construction begins, you’ll have the opportunity to watch your dream home take shape. This step involves weekly updates on the progress of your home, including key milestones and any important developments. We provide transparent communication throughout the construction process, so you’re always informed and involved. Seeing your home come to life is an exciting experience, and we’re here to ensure everything goes smoothly from start to finish.
7. CLOSE, FUND, PICK UP KEYS, AND MOVE-IN!
Finally, the day you’ve anticipated has arrived! The final step in your journey is the closing process, where you’ll complete the necessary paperwork and finalize your financing. Once everything is in place, you’ll receive the keys to your new home and can begin the moving-in process. We strive to make this final stage as seamless as possible, with support and guidance every step of the way. As you settle into your new home, our team is here to assist with any last-minute details and ensure a smooth transition into your new living space.
