Oklahoma City new homes | Your Home Awaits
Today we’re talking about your Oklahoma City new homes and the path to get you there and we’re also going to be talking about some of the floor plans and some of the unique features in these floor plans. So thank you so much for taking the time to read this article together. All the information so you can make the best decision for you and your family. Um, just to recap, I’m one of the first things that we do on the path to your new Edmond home is take our customers on a model home tour and it takes about 90 minutes and you drive your own vehicle. And this is great just so you can see all of the floor plan so you can make the best decision for your family. Um, it’s a lot of fun for everybody too. So if you have some friends or family that want to join in and who doesn’t love going around and looking at beautifully decorated model homes, our customers have told us that even if they don’t build with shaw homes, that this model home tour has been the single most beneficial thing that they’ve done during their home shopping experience.
Um, the model home tours just for information and focused on the function behind the design and find the floor plan that fits you and your family best. The second thing we do on the path for your Oklahoma City new homes is connect you with one of our three preferred lenders and get financing situated mainly just so we can help point you in the right direction, you know, with today’s interest rates and your down payment and credit score. And really just try and find that payment that you’re looking for every month so you can stay within a budget for your monthly investment into your home. These three preferred lenders do closing costs, matching and interest rate matching as well. So if you will are already preapproved with a credit union.
Um, they will match the interest rate in closing costs matching as well. They do all types of loans, va, Fha, conventional, native American and rd loans. Um, those three preferred lenders are spirit bank, Bank of Oklahoma, and First Oklahoma Bank. The next step that we’re recapping is the home site reservation. Um, again, we have over 500 different home sites and none of them are exactly the same. So once you find that home site that you want to build your home on a $10,000 check that goes to show homes, this allows you to take your time, get all of your questions answered, and that way you can make the best decision for you and your family. And if for any reason at the end of seven days you’re not ready to move forward. We literally just you the check back and it’s 100 percent refundable. We don’t even cash the check
after that. You were sent to the price out. This is when we skipped on that last article, but the price out is really cool because I’m in the immediate, your favorite model, it takes about 45 minutes. You get itemized pricing for every detail for your Oklahoma City new homes. That way there’s no surprises and get all of your questions answered and it’s priced the way you want to rather than some builders just throwing everything in.

your home site selection is final.
