Closing

After receiving final approval and completing all necessary conditions with your lender, you’ll move on to a smooth and efficient closing process. This simple step, which usually takes about an hour, officially makes your new home yours.

Step 6

Delivery

Once the closing is complete, a certified installer will evaluate your home site and prepare it for delivery. This includes creating a foundation pad to ensure proper drainage and protect against moisture. Your new home will then be carefully delivered and set up according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Finally, a regulatory inspection will be conducted to confirm everything meets industry standards.

Verify

After your new home has been delivered and set up at your location, the lender will request a call to confirm its arrival. Once verified, you’ll be all set to move in and begin enjoying the comfort and excitement of your brand-new home!

Step 8

Set Up

The first step in the setup process is safely delivering your home to the site. Once it arrives, the home is carefully positioned on its foundation or piers. Afterward, we connect key utilities, such as water, electricity, and sewage. The final touch involves installing skirting around the base, which helps protect your home from the elements and pests, while also giving it a clean, finished appearance. This detailed setup ensures your new home is stable, functional, and ready for you to enjoy!
