5% Rebate for my clients for a Lennar Home if contracted by October 20th


20131013-134547.jpg

Lennar Homes has decided to offer a larger commission until October 20th that will allow me to give my clients the highest rebate I have ever given at 5%!

20131013-135118.jpg

This is a tremendous opportunity if you are looking for a new home in Frisco. Lennar just opened Villages of Stonelake and it might just be the best value opportunity for a new home in Frisco.

20131013-135345.jpg

The location is off of Independence right before Eldorado. Across the street is the highly anticipated Independence High School that plans to open in the fall of 2014.

20131013-135529.jpg

Why I feel that the Villages of Stonelake matter is the lot size. On a normal 65 foot wife lot in Frisco, the depth is usually around 110-115. Here at the Villages o Stonelake, Lennar offers a 133 foot deep standard lot! Wow! That gives buyers about 20 by 65 feet deeper in the backyard!!!

20131013-135830.jpg

The second reason why it matters is this model called the Acadia. New to Lennar, this is the most incredible floor plan that I have seen under $400,000! They use the space right and is very functional and feels right in the transitions from room to room.

The two story family room is a big wow factor with a staircase opening up the second floor on two of the sides. Kitchen is amazing with the size and set up. Master is large and master bath works from a living standpoint.

20131013-140306.jpg

The upstairs game room is connected to an optional media room that is secluded and located over the 3 car garage.

20131013-140433.jpg

Overall, it by far is my favorite plan under $400,000 in Frisco and will be Lennars best seller in Villages of Stonelake. And there’s more!

20131013-140719.jpg

Originally they were only able to build the plan on some of the lots that have already been contracted, but luckily Lennar has released 8 North Facing lots tht can allow the Acadia floor plan!

Here’s some more pictures of the Acadia model by Lennar.

And lastly, and possibly one if the best bits of information that I can share with you is both of the new proposed schools. Directly south of the community, Frisco ISD plans for both a new middle and new elementary school! That would mean that anyone living in the Villages of Stonelake would be walking distance to Elementary, Middle and High! Wow!

McSpedden Elementary well Underway at Lawler Park in Frisco


20130930-060040.jpg

The big construction vehicles are out in Lawler Park starting the newest elementary school for FISD.

McSpedden Elementary got a green flag at a recent board meeting to help with the growth of East Frisco. Mainly Richwoods and Lawler Park.

Even the stakes are out with the dirt leveled for the footprint of the school!

20130930-060501.jpg

Plans for the new school were previously projected for opening in 2015, but with overcrowding in Curtsinger Elementary this was almost a must for Frisco.

Both Richwoods and Lawler Park seem to have no slow down whatsoever. And once Liberty Crossing comes online things might get worse, but in a good way!

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


20130924-134336.jpg

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.

20130924-171031.jpg

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.

20130924-171315.jpg

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.

20130924-170918.jpg

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.

20130924-145848.jpg

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!

For more information on any of the builders in Richwoods or their available lots or incentives, call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

Richwoods Main Entry on Independence and Kelmscot will see the New Traffic light on Friday


20130822-210212.jpg

And there it is!

The new traffic signal at the main entry of Richwoods at Independence and Kelmscot will be operational this Friday the 23rd of August 2013.

Motorists are urged to use caution since it is new and Hunters Creek and Turnbridge Manor residents are very used to stop signs.

This is needed with the huge growth of families moving into Richwoods. It will also help the cross guard that is at Vandeventer starting school on Monday.

FIRE today at Siena at Stone Hollow – A Standard Pacific Home


20130819-201838.jpg

As I was pulling into my home in Richwoods in Frisco, I noticed a large trail of black smoke located North East of my home.

20130819-202101.jpg

I ran into my house and grabbed my son to go see what the smoke was coming from.

20130819-202148.jpg

As we got closer we noticed that it was on the McKinney/Frisco border. And as we came up on it, it was a Standard Pacific Home in the new community called Sienna at Stone Hollow.

20130819-202317.jpg

There were about 40 onlookers and approximately 4 fire trucks and 6 police cars. The home faced West and looking at the damage it was probably in the frame stage. Completely burned down.

20130819-202458.jpg

The ironic thing is the fire station is located directly beside the community separated by a brick wall.

Fires spread quick!
