Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q: What is the process for buying a custom built home at The Oaks?
A: First, you will meet with The Oaks sales manager and reserve a lot. You will then choose a home style and options. Our sales center will display the many interior and exterior finishes you can choose from. Selections will include: siding, roofing, cabinets, counter tops, flooring, paint, etc. Once you have chosen your features and options, you will sign a Purchase and Sales Agreement just as you would if you purchased an existing resale home.
Q: Will I need to buy the land first?
A: No. You will sign a contract for a fixed price including the land and the house. You will close on the entire purchase only when the house is complete.
Q:How do I order options?
A: The sales manager will have a detailed list of options offered. You will meet and review the options and samples. Once you have made your selections, we will help you add them to your contract.
Q: When can I expect to make payments?
A: You will make an initial deposit at the time you reserve your lot. A second deposit will be paid at the time you sign your Purchase and Sales Agreement. No further payments will be made until closing. The builder finances the construction of the home.
Q: How long will it take to deliver my new home?
A: Roughly 3-4 months from the start of construction. The builder will start construction soon after the Purchase and Sales Agreement is signed.
Q: Is the construction warrantied?
A: Yes, there is an express warranty attached to our standard Purchase and Sales Agreement. There is a complete one year warranty and a two year structural warranty.
