Our Bright Move Package

Our Bright Move Package simplifies the building process. It's a wonderful way to avoid the stress and overwhelming details often associated with building. Our Guaranteed Pricing eliminates things like cost overruns, unforeseen expenses or hidden costs. With our Bright Move Package, your pricing is guaranteed! All you need to do is choose your home, select a lot from one of our wonderful communities and viola! You have your pricing. If you plan to add optional upgrades, we can define that pricing up front or during the selection process. Everything's pre-priced and you get your answers today.*  No estimates. Just plain, upfront pricing guaranteed.  For your convenience, you make  all** of your selections in the comfort of our in-house Design Center. That's right, no more running all over town, or dealing with "allowances".

Our Bright Move Package saves you TIME and MONEY!

What's Included in our Bright Move Package?

Mark Winter Homes has tried to simplify and make the building process an easy and enjoyable experience. After all, building a new home should be one of the most exciting events in your life, not the most stressful. Our Bright Move Package homes include the following:

The Building Process

Finalizing the features and various options in your new home is an exciting and important part of the planning process. If your home has been purchased during construction, the "window of opportunity" for certain selections may already have passed. However, we will do our best to accommodate any special requests or preferences. We will inform you of which selections can still be personalized and any deadlines relating to those choices.

If your home is purchased before construction or during the early phases of construction, you will have two selection sessions in our Design Center. The first session will include exterior finishes and any critical features that affect the framing or mechanical systems of the home. (A physical on-site walk through of the home will also be done with the owner prior to mechanical rough-ins for placement of such items as phone jacks and cable outlets.) At the second session we will determine post-plaster options such as flooring, cabinets, countertops, lighting, and hardware. Our customer service manager will keep you advised of what must be decided and assist you in meeting these deadlines.

The construction of a new home is a complex process that requires the careful coordination of many different trades and skills. To many homebuyers, the process is somewhat confusing, involving periods of intense activity followed by periods of inactivity. However, it is all part of a thoughtfully orchestrated construction schedule. We will make arrangements for you to review your new home in detail at certain key points in the process and have any questions answered at that time.

Upon completion of your home, a thorough inspection is conducted (our customer service manager breaks out the white gloves and fine-toothed comb!) Any final touch-ups and minor repairs are then done. We aren't satisfied until your home meets our "100% completion" goal. Now your new home is ready for your final approval. A walk-through with you, the homeowner, will be done with our customer service manager. At this time we will present you with a complete "Homeowners Manual" containing such information as emergency phone numbers, your list of color and brand selections, Warranty Service Program guidelines, your Home Warranty, and a Maintenance Guide for your new home. At Mark Winter Homes we are just as concerned with our service to you after the move-in. We know our reputation depends on it!

Guaranteed Pricing

Builders often price their homes with the phrase "base price plus lot improvements". The base price is based on specifications and allowances. The "lot improvements" and "allowances" can add significant cost to your home.

Mark Winter Homes knows a better way to build. Our Guaranteed Pricing protects you from unexpected costs. When you build on a Mark Winter Homes home site, we guarantee that there will be no hidden costs, no cost overruns, and no allowances to deal with!
 

Permits, erosion control, excavation, water and sewer laterals, backfill, grading, hauling fill, garage, basement & driveway gravel, clean up ... it's all included!

Select your flooring, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, siding, and roofing at our Design Center

Compare the final price of a Mark Winter Home to the competition, the peace of mind of guaranteed pricing, and our wide selection of quality standard features and options and you'll make the logical choice

... A Mark Winter Home is simply better!

Why is it a "Bright Move"

Because it saves you time and money! Two things most of us don't have enough of. With our Bright Move Package everything is easy. You make your selections, your pricing is guaranteed and you don't have to pay for the home until closing. That's right, no double payments, no multiple closings, no insurance payments during construction. Our specifications are clearly defined, so you know exactly what is, and what is not included.
