Get ready for some of the logistical stuff!
Though no one likes paperwork, there sure seems to be a lot of it when buying a home. Several David Weekley forms, including the Purchase Agreement and several addenda, are used when your client buys a new David Weekley home. Our Sales Consultants will prepare the Purchase Agreement to get the ball rolling. The Purchase Agreement is only binding once all parties involved, including David Weekley Homes management, have signed it.

Yes, we will allow contingencies
David Weekley Homes is one of the few builders that will begin construction of a buyer's new home while their existing home is for sale. Each community has a limited number of contingencies that may be allowed at a given time. Homebuyers that purchase a home contingent on the sale of their existing home are required to "list" that home with a Realtor and it must be placed in MLS.

In order to accept a contingency, your client must be prepared to furnish a copy of the appropriate listing agreement setting out the terms of one of the above. Typically, contingency agreements are taken only on a "dirt" (to-be-built) sale and give the Homebuyer until sheetrock stage of the new home to sell their existing home.

We ask for your help in making sure that the home is listed at a marketable price that will allow it to sell within a 30 day time frame. No one wins if the home is listed "too high" and the buyer isn't able to complete the purchase of their new David Weekley home!

What about earnest money?
The amount of earnest money required for a Purchase Agreement is determined at a community level. Simply check with the Sales Consultant to find out the appropriate amount.

Is there an Options Deposit?
Typically, the Options Deposit required on Custom Choices is 20% at the time of selection. This is different for Homebuyer Change Requests where we require 100% at the time of selection. You can check with the Sales Consultant to confirm the specific policy on making deposits so your Homebuyers are well informed and prepared.
