[REDCART]

Renee, We purchased in Nov. 2005, so of course it's possible that things have changed since but it's unlikely! When we expressed interest in buying, we put our name on a waiting list, and gave the sales rep a $2500 check to hold. (In hindsight We could have used a credit card for this payment.) That $2500 was considered "earnest" money. Once we committed to a particular home, we had ten days to come up with a 10 percent downpayment, which had all of the normal contingency clauses. The closing was scheduled for 30 days later. TV was completely honest and truthful about all disclosures, however exorbitant-- but we had the normal scepticism. I'd be very surprised that a rogue sales agent would jeopardize his and TV's reputation. They don't need to be deceitful or aggressive and high sales pressure, the place sells itself. ---George
