My Clients last chance for 4% Rebate with Darling Homes in 2013

Dec30

My clients have been thrilled about receiving 4% Total Commission on their purchase when buying a Darling Home. But on Wednesday it will go away. Darling Homes will start paying me less so the rebate program will disappear.

So if you are looking to contract on a Darling Home by the end of 2013, text or call me today at (469) 733-2723 for not only the rebate but so I can make sure you are getting the best deal that can be made.

And for other builders like Toll Brothers, K Hovnanian, Landon Homes, Shaddock, American Legend ETC, they too will be changing up their realtor commission programs in 2014 so if you are seriously considering let me know.

Premium Tree Lots to be released TOMORROW at Richwoods in Frisco by John Landon Signature Series Homes!

Dec29

If you are looking for a very unique backyard in a great neighborhood with existing trees, here you go!

Ideally located on the South Side of Richwoods in the Landing and behind the K Hovnanian Model and the Landon Homes Richwoods Place Model there are 4 lots.

They are unique in a couple of ways. First, they are oversized by both width and extremely for depth for Richwoods Landing. A normal Standard Lot in this section is 84 Wide by 125 Deep. These lots range from 85 foot wide up to close to 100 foot wide on some of the lots!

The Depth of the lots will also range from 135 to 160! They are absolutely stunning lots. The second unique feature is the backyard. Only two of the John Landon Signature Series plans, the 903 and 905, fit on the lots due to the backyard being approximately 4 feet to 6 feet below.

There will be a very well done set of stairs that you can walk down to get to the backyard.

They are amazing and I am pretty sure they will be sold quickly. Landon Signature is putting a $35,000 premium on the lots but I feel that is low for what you are receiving.

Below is one of the Lot Fits that Landon has for only one of the lots!!! Wow!

A mature tree lot at Richwoods in Frisco, WOW! That will not happen anytime soon for a new build in Frisco.

Call or Text Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723 for more info on the lots or about my 4% Total Rebate on any Landon Home by the end of 2013.

Village Park offers Fantastic Location to Highways and Amenities from the $270’s

Nov21

Village Park is located off of Lake Forest and Highway 121. This location is fantastic for not only access to major highways, but also restaurants and movie theaters minutes away.

Both K Hovnanian and American Legend have beautifully built homes at very affordable prices. K Hovnanian (KHOV) Homes starts around 1,900 square feet in the $270’s and maxes out at 3,485 square feet.

Village Park is located in the highly acclaimed Allen School District. Lindsey Elementary School is located within the neighborhood is brand new! And Village Park is the most affordable new home community located in Allen ISD.

The standard lot size is oversized with 53 foot wide by 120 foot deep. Also, the build line in the front is 15 feet so the backyard is huge! Tax rate is 2.53.

The exciting thing for Village Park and K Hovnanian is they have MANY homes that will be available sooner than most neighborhoods. I always hear from new home buyers that they would like to buy and move in a new home in the next 30-45 days and for the last year, it has not been an option due to the high demand and small supply.

And K Hovnanian has a great buyer incentive with hard wood floors and $10,000 for design options. An if you use their lender, they pay $2,000 of your closing costs which is very rare now for new home builders.

And as you can see from the plat map earlier, K Hovnanian Homes has 13 homes planned to be ready near the beginning of 2014! And that’s only KHOV. That does not include American Legend, David Weekley or Lions Gate.

And K Hovnanians Cedardale 2 plan is fantastic! It is their model in the community and just works!

For more info on Village Park or K Hovnanian, American Legend, David Weekley or Lionsgate text or call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723.

“And don’t forget to ask me about my 4% Total Rebate Program for my clients that purchase a new home in Village Park.”

K Hovnanian Homes at Richwoods in Frisco has an Oakview 3 Back on the Market!

Nov11

I was in a contract yesterday at KHOV and Kim the salesperson let me know about this home.

On one of the best locations in Richwoods, K Hovnanian Homes has an Oakview 3 that is available today!

The home should be ready in January 2014. It is a 3,967 square foot with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths.

It has a beautiful open floor plan from the entry to the kitchen and family room. Almost the entire first floor has wood already down. Study is to the left and has great molding both high and low.

Kitchen has upgraded features and will have a upgraded backsplash and granite.

Upstairs a large game room and more secondary bedrooms.

Here’s the best part, the price. The home was originally contracted around $505,000. Right now it has been decreased to $489,990. And then again to $479,990.

I would say you could offer $467,000 and get pretty close! Again, that is what I am recommending on an offer!

Best deal in Richwoods today!

Call or text me today at (469) 733-2723 for more info on this KHOV home or lot availability for new builds at Richwoods in Frisco.

K Hovnanian hosts Realtors at Stonebrook Crossing in Frisco

Sep26

K Hovnanian Homes at Stonebrook Crossing in Frisco hosted a Grand Opening for Realtors today. And needless to say, I was impressed!

Stonebrook Crossing is not a typical Frisco neighborhood because it only has 67 total homesites. K Hovnanian Homes and Shaddock Homes are the two builders currently building in Stonebrook Crossing. The standard size lot is 65 feet wide by 120 foot deep.

The model home is called a Westhaven at 3,888 square feet and done very well. It is a 5 bedroom 4 bath home with both media and game room upstairs.

Every exterior on this plan has the beautiful courtyard with a rod iron gated entry. And lastly a must, a 3 car garage.

The most impressive part to me is the price. They start out at $428,900 for 2,943 square feet in West Frisco! And this doesn’t take into consideration the $20,000 incentive for the grand opening.

Why is this a fantastic deal? It’s simple.

The entrance is off of Stonebrook and as soon as Stonebrook is completed to the Tollroad, prices should go up due to the convenience.

K Hovnanian has 4 Spec homes coming up planned to be complete in both January and February.

For more info on K Hovnanian at Stonebrook Crossing in Frisco, text or call Brad Holden at (469) 733-2723 for more information.

And don’t forget to ask Brad about his Rebate for his clients that purchase a new home in Frisco.

K Hovnanain Spec home at Phillips Creek Ranch in Frisco slashes it’s Price and is ready for move in at the end of September!

Sep26

This should be titled “Frisco’s Deal of the Month,” because it is!

K Hovnanaian Homes at Phillips Creek Ranch has this 1 story home available to move in this September. But that’s not all.

I have had a couple other clients that contracted on KHOVs in other communities in the last couple days and they are getting smoking deals! Why? Simple, stockholders.

K Hovnanian is a National Company and traded on the stock exchange. That being the case, they want higher numbers at the end of the fiscal year ending in October.

And considering this Southport model plan with it base price, elevation, lot premium and location in the community etc. totaled $488,900, there I a deal to be made.

My best guess is that you could contract today at $465,000 taking into consideration what other neighborhoods that KHOV builds in have been doing on their specs, but I am not sure.

The reason this home matters is for a couple of reasons. First it is located perfectly within Phillps Creek Ranch. Secondly, it’s a one story with a perfect layout. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a study. Family room is beautiful and high connected to the kitchen. And lastly, it had a 3 car garage.

For more info on this k Hovnanian deal in Phillips Creek Ranch in Frisco, text or call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

And add my Rebate for my clients and this might be the deal of the year!

My 100th Closing in Richwoods and this is what I have seen are “Must Haves” of my clients.

Sep24

I have worked hard the past two years and have just eclipsed 100 sales in Richwoods as of yesterday. That is a combined total of K Hovnanian Homes, Toll Brothers, Landon Homes, Newcastle Homes and John Landon Signature Series homes. This has allowed me to be a part of 100 families needs vs. wants when building a new home.

I thought it would be very beneficial to list out what my clients thought and decided on. Again, everyone is different in style and taste but here are 10 of the “Must Haves” when you build a new home in today’s market.

1. Wood Floors

It is almost 95% that in this price point ($380’s-$1mm) that there is somewhere in the house you will find hard wood flooring. Either glued down or hand scraped hardwood will do.

2. Media Room

Personally, I don’t understand the Fad, but a media room is a MUST HAVE for about 90% of my clients. Even if it is upstairs for some reason people just have to have one. This can also be your “Man Cave!”

3. Electrical Outlets for Flat Screens

The Flat Screen TV is taking over. But many builders do not change the outlet unless the buyers request it. Just think twice about it. Even if you don’t use it, you will have it for resell and it would be easy to hair behind a picture.

4. Laundry Room Location

Finally, people are realizing how much time they spend in the laundry room. Make sure in your plan that the location of the laundry room is around the majority of bedrooms.

5. First Floor Extra Bedroom

I can’t tell you how many clients walk into a house, look for the extra bedroom downstairs and can’t find one, then they walk out. It is very important to have an extra bedroom for parents, guests, hobbies etc.

6. Three Car Garages

At this price point, the majority of my clients purchase this as their next home. So many want a larger garage, no question about it.

7. Wider Hallways

Most hallways are 3 feet wide according to minimum standards for Frisco code. But if you can make them wider (4 Feet) it looks better and feels more roomy.

8. Large Drawers in the Kitchen instead of Cabinets

Old school is cabinets. New school, larger drawers. Large drawers make more sense and allow you to easily access the items towards the back.

9. Free Shower Caddies

This is something I learned first hand and if you address it with your builder at the time you are walking electricals, they are very likely to accommodate your request. It’s easy to build the box and they will either tile it or marble it and is ESSENTIAL when you are in the shower.

10. Oversized Kitchens with Large Island

On average, over 10 hours a day is spent in every kitchen in America! It’s the most used room of any room in the house. Make it large, make it nice and it will make you smile!
