We looked diligently at new and pre-owned homes on the internet for about a year after we first visited TV. We personally liked the Gardenia model, but we ran off floor plans of every model available. The main problem we had was that every time we found a home we liked, it would be gone within a matter of days. We scheduled a second visit to look at more house the first week of July. However, even though we never thought that we would buy without a visit, we did so last week, and instead of looking we are now closing on a Hadley home on July 1st. We had an associate of the TV rep who showed us around last April take pictures of the exterior surroundings of the home and had her e-mail them to us. We saw the home, reviewed the pictures, and put down our $2500 deposit via credit card within about a total of 1 hour!!
This probably seems stupid, but we basically knew what we wanted, so it was not as scary as we thought, even though we have not yet sold our WY home, and will not move to TV until around Oct 1st. We have already contacted Floormasters to replace the carpet in in the living room with tile that matches the of the tile. They give you about a $150 credit and the extra cost will be around $3500. We also have made contact with a guy whoo will paint the garage floor (with non-slip sprinkles ) for around $375. We have also contacted the various telephone, internet , television companies so hopefully when we move in Oct. everything will already be installed (including 4 new flat screened tvs )
We found the sales reps to be very helpful with regard to just about every ques. we had.
Good luck!!
