Hi Nancy! The best advice I can give you is to have a firm idea of what, if any, additions you want to make to your house. My wife and I went through the process in early July and are moving into our home as we speak. If you want more room the bump outs are fairly inexpensive (about $1500 per 2') but well worth it, especially on the lanai and bedrooms. I would definitely recommend a golf car garage for extra space and storage if your model doesn't have it included. The standard interior colors are white and hayseed and other colors will cost additional. Look carefully at the models to get an understanding of the cabinets, flooring, lighting packages, etc. Also drive around and look at exterior colors because the same color can't be within 2-3 houses of each other. Check out door styles and colors and exterior lighting packages. We found the process to be extremely painless and actually enjoyable. Don't get stressed and have a good time with your designer. They're there to help...really!!!!
