December has
been hectic. We are packing to move and we are completing last minute
inspection fixes for closing. On December 6th Toll Brothers
contacted us. The sales rep said that they are ready to schedule our Pre-Construction
Meeting. YAY! Finally... after seven months of waiting and weekly drives pass the
dirt filled lot. I was excited, overjoyed! The pre-construction meeting is
scheduled for December 14th at 9am.
I'll blog about the Pre-Construction meeting later this week.
We currently
reside in central Prince Georges County Maryland. Before I started the home search
I scouted all of the new construction models in my preferred location.
My best friend and I love to drive around looking at model homes and “dream” as
we would explain it. Most of the homes are way above our price range but I
guess we get a thrill imagining our families in 6000+ square foot mini-mansions
minutes away from the nation’s capital. Of the many great builders in my county
my heart fell in love with the resort style equestrian community in the heart
of Upper Marlboro named Marlboro Ridge. What ultimately moved
us to put a contract on this beautiful home was the strong since of community,
incentives and standard options that I hadn’t seen offered in any other
community in my price range. My husband is very strict about budget and if you
know anything about the DC Metro area is that home prices are extremely high. I
think we did pretty well. Yes, we couldn’t get everything that we (I) wanted
but we agreed that some things can wait until after closing.
So now here
we are, two millennials getting ready to build our dream home. I found a lot of blogs for building Ryan homes that were really helpful. There were only a handful of bloggers documenting the Toll Brothers process so I've decided to share my journey. I look forward to sharing my ups and downs
during this process. I hope that our experiences will help the next person in
their home buying and construction journey.
