Smile New Home Pricing

We are closing on our new house in Buttonwood on June3rd. Our sales rep is Christie Graham. She is great. We have been working on this for a couple of years.

When we decided what model we wanted we sat down to get an idea what possible upgrades there were and what we wanted. She was able o give us pricing while we talked.

The biggest issue is the site. It not only changes the cost depending on the type of lot (interior, corner, golf, water, etc.) but determines whether some options like golf cart garages or spas can be install on the site.

The interior and exterior finishes are the biggest time consumers and may be the problem for your rep. Each level of finish (cabinets, countertop, lighting, flooring, etc.) changes the price. Before we committed to building, Christie gave us an estimate and used finish levels that she thought would work for us.

Don't stress to much. Talk to your rep and tell them you need an estimate so you can plan and decide. If they have trouble getting you the estimate, then you might want to go "over there head".

Good Luck
