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.....
You really don't need the design team to chose a model or/and lot. (Unless you plan to my extensive changes to the layout of the model). I'm very surprised an agent would let you buy a lot that the model you want does not fit. I guess you and your friend fell in love with lots before you fell in love with a model. Unfortunately in my book that was not a good idea...

So that's the bad news. Since you have about a year to make a final a decision you can right what is wrong.

1> You should know that you can change a lot without penalty as long as you begin the build within 90 days. However the issue is getting an appointment with a design specialist in time. If you think your agent let you down by all means make a change.

2> You may change your mind about the model house you like. Most people do make a change. My wife and I have changed three times so we are building our 4th choice that we eliminated at the very beginning. As mentioned before possible stretches are key in the process. The value the stretches give are well worth the extra cost as they are not that expensive.

There is a lot of great info on TOTV. My recommendation is to search for things you need to know and keep up with the forum. I'm glad I have.

Lastly the best way to search is to you use google as follows:

Talkofthevillages Forum "search term" ie "electric golf carts"


Good luck!
