No negotiation. Also can one pick out the colors of the rooms before they are painted? Comments would be appreciated.

You do have some choices. Let's see if I get this correct. They want you to pick a full decor package but I think you can sometimes have choices within the package. Seem to remember the tile and rug went together and the cabinets and counter top went together. Not many granite choices. Once you pick the home you want they then show you samples of the interior packages. You choose the ones you think you would like, than they take you to a model home with that package in it. Many of the homes have structural options, like 2 foot stretches to garage and other rooms, extended lanais. This is why you will see different sf. shown on the listings for both new and used homes on the web site compared to the floor plans. When your friend first looks with a sales agent tell them to be sure to ask about the different options (stretches) available for the different homes. When I first looked I think the sales person did not really tell us much because he knew we were not quite ready to buy. I have ruled out some homes because of bedroom size and have since learned about some of the options.
Hope this helps.
