Sharon Crenshaw, our sales associate, immediately grabbed the site the moment it was released; today we signed a TON of forms and documents (I hope that I didn't trade off my first born as collateral) and paid our $2500.

Bc the Village of St James reached build out in the past year, we are required to begin construction w/in 90 days. If we fail to do so,
we will have to give back the site, and forfeit the $2500.

Only $2,500 down? I had to put $7,500 down in January. $2,500 could be put on my MasterCard....and $5,000 check = $7500. Interesting!

I am really surprised that St. James is at build out. It was virtually a mass of mud and sand when I was there in January. Wow...PROGRESS!
