STEP 1 - LOT DEPOSIT
A fully refundable deposit will hold the site of
your choice for up to 15 days, while design and pricing
are finalized.
STEP 2 - CONTRACT
Once pricing and design changes have
been finalized, the formal purchase documents will be drawn
up. At the time of contract signing, a total of 10% of the purchase
price of your home is required as earnest money.
STEP 3 - FINANCING
Once the contract is finalized, you may
work with the lender of your choice to secure financing of your
new home. AT KEIM CORP., WE CARRY THE COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION -
so all you need to do is apply for a conventional mortgage
that is paid out at closing.
STEP 4 - BLUEPRINTS
While you are obtaining your financial commitment,
we will be preparing your blueprints - reflecting those design
modifications that are noted in your contract.
STEP 5 - SELECTIONS
Prior to the start of construction you will
need to make your decisions regarding colors, cabinetry, lighting,
carpeting, tile, etc. Available appointment times may vary, so
be sure to call ahead.
STEP 6 - PERMIT
Once financing has been secured and blueprints
approved, we can submit to the appropriate building department for
a permit to begin building your new home.
STEP 7 - CONSTRUCTION
Construction can begin as soon as a building
permit is issued. At this point, you can figure on approximately
150 days of actual construction time.
STEP 8 - QUESTIONS
Should you have any questions during the
construction process, you are welcome to call us at
630.232.1400. Our Sunset Prairie Model is open Monday thru
Friday 8:30 am - 6:00 pm and Saturday/Sunday 10:00 am - 6:00 pm.
STEP 9 - FINAL INSPECTION
Upon completion of your home, you will make a final
inspection of the property with a Keim Corp. representative. Any
items in need of adjustment will be noted at this time.
STEP 10 - CLOSING
Congratulations!
Upon closing - at the local offices of
Chicago Title & Trust - you will become the proud owner of one
of the finest custom homes in the western suburbs!
