Your Commitment

At the time of finalizing the purchase agreement, our sales consultants will work with you in tandem so that your decisions regarding the perfect floor plan, home site, and structural options lay the foundation for your dream home.

Purchase Agreements and Earnest Money Deposits

An initial earnest money deposit is due at this time to secure prices resulting from these choices. A second earnest money deposit is due once you finalize your options selections. (Thereafter, with each change order Gladstone reserves the right to collect additional earnest money) The balance is due at closing.

Username and Password

Stated in your purchase agreement, you will receive a unique username and password to gain secure access to the Gladstone Home's Website which will allow you to view pertinent documents regarding your new home purchase: including, the warranty manual, association forms, By Laws and Declaration of Ownership for your community.

Attorney Approval

You will be allotted 5 business days for your attorney to review and make minor modifications to the purchase agreement if necessary. Then, you will be notified if these modifications have been accepted.

Mortgage Approval

Another value-added service that we provide is the opportunity to speak with one of our preferred lenders and complete a free in-person or via telephone mortgage loan application to assist with the purchase of a new home. Our Preferred Lenders have a combination of both knowledge and experience working for them... and you. Each lender has gained invaluable experience in the field from closing hundreds of Gladstone homes each year. Gladstone Home's well-established relationship with lenders means that they're experts at locking you into a competitive rate and for longer lock-in periods than less experienced lenders.

Because we understand each customer's financial picture is unique and has specific requirements, Preferred Lenders also make available a broad range of mortgage programs to suit your exact needs. Whether you're short on cash for the initial down payment, want to lower your monthly payments or are rebounding from a past credit situation, our lenders will do everything possible to secure the financing you need. Best of all, all of our Preferred Lenders have been chosen for their high customer satisfaction rating. You can rely on them to professionally guide you through the mortgage process, help you obtain the best possible loan and close your home in a timely manner.
