New Home Builder Q&A
WHAT IS A MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITY?
A master-plan involves engineering and developing an entire section of a city using the latest sustainable eco-friendly building practices. Our approach to master-planned communities provides special attention to preserving natural space and creating necessary infrastructure designed to grow with the community itself.
WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF A MASTER PLAN?
We work along side other builders, community leaders and elected officials to ensure the creation of beautiful and inviting neighborhoods, as well as vital lifestyle amenities like schools, parks, libraries, retail, restaurants and other gathering places.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A 'GREEN BUILDER'?
We are an earth-friendly builder and take a comprehensive approach in caring for the environment. This includes responsible development such as minimizing construction waste, jobsite recycling, timber management, and water conservation. Once constructed, our high performing LivingSmart homes save on electricity, gas and water and provide an exceptionally healthy indoor environment.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BUY SMART?
BuyingSmart is an interactive guide to what you need to know, and do, to find and buy your dream home from Pardee Homes. We'll help you through financing, design choices, construction, escrow, moving, and more with handy worksheets, a mortgage calculator, even a wishlist to capture everything you're looking for in your new home.
WHERE CAN I FIND A GLOSSARY?
Learn all about ARMs, ammortization, APR, appraisals, assessments, automated underwriting, contingencies, curb appeal, debt-to-income ratios, down payments, earnest money, equity, title insurance and vesting options. All in one convenient place!
WHERE CAN I FIND A MOVE-IN READY HOME?
Ready to move? These Move-In Ready Homes are ready too. They already include designer-selected flooring, countertops and other finishes, so they're ready to go. Search by neighborhood and floor plan, then contact a Pardee sales counselor for all the details.
WHAT IF WE ARE FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS, OR HAVE CREDIT PROBLEMS?
First-time Homebuyers May Overcome Credit Obstacles; Purchase New Home with Pardee's HomewardBound Program. "We came to Pardee after working with people who did not really want to help us, but Pardee helped us overcome the obstacles to buying a new home by giving us the information we needed to improve our credit. Their team of caring and attentive sales people and lenders were amazing, working hand in hand to make the process quick and easy. We followed their instructions and after the second month we were ready to move forward because our credit rating had improved significantly,"
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE AN AWARD-WINNING HOMEBUILDER?
Pardee Homes is honored to receive continuous recognition from our industry and peers. But our real source of pride isn't a plaque on the wall. It's the satisfied homebuyers who come back to us for their second and third homes. Each award we earn takes on greater meaning because it represents better quality, better efficiency, better service for you.
HOW IMPORTANT IS SAFETY?
Keeping people—ours and yours—safe is as important as anything else we do. We conduct our business in a way that gives priority to the health and safety of every employee, subcontractor and homebuyer. Our vision is to be the safest homebuilding company in all areas that we operate.
