Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned mover, our step-by-step approach ensures you’re informed and confident every step.
Ready to get started? Here’s what you can expect when you choose Ashlar Homes:
Personal Consultation & Discovery Meeting
It all begins with a conversation. During your initial meeting with our team, we’ll discuss your lifestyle, budget, ideal timeline, and must-have features. This is our opportunity to understand what home means to you, so we can start shaping your vision into reality.
Community & Home Selection
Next, we’ll guide you through our available communities and floor plans to find the perfect fit. Whether you’re drawn to a move-in-ready home or want to build from the ground up, Ashlar offers flexibility and options for every type of buyer. Our thoughtfully located communities offer access to great schools, parks, and local amenities.
Financing & Pre-Approval
We’ll connect you with trusted lending partners who can help you get pre-approved and explore mortgage options tailored to your financial goals. With a clear budget in place, you can move forward with confidence.
Design Studio Experience
If you’re building a home, this is where the fun begins! You’ll work one-on-one with our design team to personalize your home, inside and out. From cabinetry and countertops to flooring and fixtures, you choose the details to reflect your style and preferences.
Pre-Construction Meeting
Before we break ground, you’ll meet with our construction team to review your home’s layout, selected features, and timeline. This meeting ensures alignment and allows you to ask any final questions before we begin building.
Construction Updates & Walkthroughs
As your home is being built, we keep you in the loop with regular updates and milestone walkthroughs. You’ll see the progress firsthand and have the chance to celebrate key moments, like when the foundation is poured or framing is complete.
New Home Orientation
Once construction is complete, we’ll walk you through your new home, demonstrate key features, and provide you with your new homeowner manual. This orientation ensures you feel confident in operating and maintaining your home from day one.
Closing Day
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. We’ll finalize the paperwork on closing day, hand over your keys, and welcome you to your brand-new Ashlar home. It’s more than just a transaction—it’s a celebration of your journey.
Move-In & Beyond
Our support doesn’t stop once you move in. A warranty and a dedicated customer experience team back every Ashlar Home. We’re just a phone call away if you need assistance or have questions about your new home.
