Process
Some of our clients come to us with land, some don’t. Others have a full set of blueprints in hand, while even more need the help of our experts to design a home that fits their family’s needs.
No land? No problem! We are here to help.
- Land Search – Our Realtor Partner Caitlin helps to narrow down your search and find the best property for you
- Land Assessment – Our Infill Specialist Amanda will visit your property or the property you are looking at to determine what we can build and what is required to prep the homesite (demolition, utilities, tree removal, and so on)
- Land Acquisition – Should you wish to purchase the home and lot from Kimberley and finance them together on your mortgage, Kimberley will secure the lot for you saving you time and money
Home Design and Pricing
- Our Infill Specialist Amanda will work with you to design a custom plan, or modify a Kimberley Homes floorplan with your budget in mind
- Many factors determine the final cost of your home. Our unique pricing system allows us to give you more accurate costs and avoid surprises down the road which in turn allows you to have peace of mind when receiving financing approval and reviewing your Purchase Agreement (in Stage Three).
When your land, home design, and pricing has come together the next step is to write your Purchase Agreement! If Kimberley Homes has previously secured the lot for you, the price of your Land and your Home are both included on the Purchase Agreement. At this time a $10,000 deposit is made. While a mortgage pre-approval is helpful to have at this stage, as it helps the process move along faster, it is not required.
When conditions of the Purchase Agreement are met and financing is approved the remainder of your down payment (less the initial $10,000 deposit) is due. CONGRATULATIONS, you have bought your new home!
Together we finalize your blacklines and make any additional structural changes. With exterior elevations complete and these final touches we are ready to create the blueprints! Amanda reviews the blueprints with you and when you are happy with your home, blueprints will be signed off on and sent in for city approval.
We take care of applying for all necessary permits and approvals.
It’s time to build your home!
