Home Orientation & Inspection Complete!

Today was our Ryan home orientation and third party inspection. Both went very well. The home orientation lasted for about two hours. Our PM went over every aspect of the new home. I feel comfortable with everything. We were left with a lot of manuals and a large binder with tons of information related to our home. After the orientation, we had our own inspection done. There were no issues inside the home! On the exterior, the inspector had a few comments regarding downspouts and flexispouts being further away from the house. He also said that with new construction you can get sink holes in the soil around the foundation overtime, so make sure that we have someone come back and tamp down around the foundation to compact the soil.

Here are a few pictures from today. I'm going to take more photos on Tuesday. Closing Day!!!! There were still a few things that needed touched up.

Clear to Close...12 Days to Go

NVR called and said that we are clear to close! No additional documentation needed! That is great news. The loan officer said that he will do a final credit pull 10 days, or less, prior to settlement to ensure there is no new debt and no change to the credit score. Other than that, all of our conditions have been met!

There has been loads of progress made at the house. They are mainly focusing on the exterior at this point. The exterior paint needs to be done, the stone needs to be completed, a couple of shutters are missing, grading, landscaping, etc. Our PM said that stone was being completed today. Here are a few pictures of progress to date.
