How did you purchase your lot in TV and know that the model you picked with the stretches you requested would fit?
Myself and a friend both purchased lots last month and both lots will not fit either of the models we chose. We were informed after we put a deposit on the lots. Now, we have to wait for 210 to release. What did your sales person do to help you since, you cannot deal with the design team or even ask them questions until your Design appointment.
Thanks for your help.....
If you are moving for early 2014, you have plenty of time to wait for them to release a new section with lots. In the meantime, if you know the model you want and how much you want to stretch it, tell your rep now that he is to look for a lot that will accommodate that. You will have to be ready to jump because there are lots of other potential TVers who will be ready to pull the trigger. The lot size secret is out.

To give you an idea: I just happened to be here the day unit 208 opened looking at pre owns and then models. I told the rep that I could see us in a particular model, stretched, etc. on the golf course and we went back to the office to look for lots. My rep told me at 3 p.m. that they would release the lots at 5 p.m. and we were standing on the golf course at 3:15. I walked up and down and said I want this one and will take this as a second choice and this as a third. There were others marching or driving back and forth as well. I was really quite shocked. We sped to the office and put in the information and submitted it as the clock hit 5. We secured my first choice and unbelievably by 5:15p.m., there were two other buyers in line who had put in a bid for our lot as their first choice.
I tell that story so you will understand that premium lots...ones that will accommodate those stretches, are highly sought after and you have to be ready to snag it when it comes available. But if you know what your requirements are, and you trust your rep, you can get this done. The reps know in advance, not much in advance but definitely in advance (my rep was rather behind on this since he had only done preowns), the lots will be released. So get ready to take a really fast trip.
