Path

Getting pre-qualified helps you to establish a price range and payment with which you are comfortable. This is a wonderful time to do your homework and develop a relationship with a local lender. Don’t have a lender or not sure who to contact? Grant works with a qualified network of preferred lenders we would love to connect you with. Just reach out to one of our Sales Specialists for assistance! Planning ahead will help you make the best financial decisions and ensure you have the support of your mortgage lender.

Decide which Grant community and home is right for you. Check out the Community page of our website to find the best and then make plans to visit one of our professionally decorated model homes to see what is available in that community.

Choose the home that fits your lifestyle – Grant always has homes under construction for your consideration, or you can choose your lot and home plan and customize your new home with colors and options in our Design Studio. A Grant Sales Consultant is always ready to help you make this decision.

After you decide on the location and home plan – the hard part is over! Once you have chosen the new home of your dreams, we will prepare the paperwork and go over all the details of the purchase contract with you. You will finalize the purchase agreement with earnest money and a contract deposit.

If you have chosen to build your new home from the ground up, you will officially meet your builder, review your home plans and discuss the building process at your Pre-Construction Meeting, which is held within 2 weeks of contract in the Grant Design Studio.

The Fun Part – Immediately following the Pre-Construction Meeting, you will meet your personal Design Studio Consultant who help you choose the perfect exterior look for your new home – You will select your brick and exterior paint colors from the array of colors and materials in our Design Studio. We know our expansive Design Studio can be a bit overwhelming, so you will be given a second selection meeting with the Designer to make interior selections – choose your flooring, countertops, lighting, fixtures, and paint colors – all guided with expertise by your personal designer.

At this point, you may feel that nothing is happening, but rest assured that behind the scenes, your home is under construction. You will start to see dirt moving on your homesite, a foundation poured and then framing starts. Your next official meeting is the Pre-Drywall Meeting with your builder on your home site. Now is your opportunity to have the unique experience of walking through your framed home before sheetrock is applied. To see the “bones” of your new home. We encourage you to ask questions, take pictures, and some homebuyers even officially claim their new home by writing Bible verses, words of wisdom, dates or even names on studs and floorboards. We love that!

Inspections all along the way – Your Builder is not the only one who is inspecting your new home -City and county inspectors ensure the house has been built to appropriate standards and that various zoning ordinances have been met. Final inspections by building officials assure that your new home is 100% complete.

Homeowners Orientation and Homeowners Acceptance Meetings - Two weeks before your closing is your Homeowners Orientation Meeting. Your builder will walk through your new home with you to make sure it has been finished according to expectations and standards. Your builder will also teach you about the functionalities of your new home and orient you to it prior to moving in. You can also expect to learn more about our Warranty process during this orientation as well. We encourage you to ask questions and take notes during this meeting. This meeting is most likely one of the most important during your home-building journey. We will also invite you back right before closing for a final meeting with your builder to take a second look to make sure everything is completed, and your home is ready to move in.

Your closing! The most exciting time of the entire process is finally here – Your closing day! You will meet with the closing agent to officially sign all the closing documents and get the keys to your new Grant home!
