The Buying Process

Gathering information and understanding your options is an important first step in your home search! Browse our website to learn about our communities, home plans, and design series. 

Our Buyer University course is your quick and easy guide to understanding the entire home buying and building process with Summit Homes. Complete the course before going to contract and get a $1,500* builder credit when you buy your new Summit home!

Have questions? Our new home specialists are ready to help! They can answer any questions you might have and book an appointment for you to visit our communities. 

Meet with a lending professional to learn about your financing options, get pre-qualified for a mortgage and establish your budget. Our partner lender, Silverton Mortgage, offers our buyers up to $3,000 in closings costs when you buy a Summit home and use Silverton to finance. 

Meet with one of our Community Managers to start narrowing down which communities and home plans fit your needs. Tour model homes and visit communities to choose the homesite and floor plan that is best for you. You'll be able to explore our design packages firsthand, allowing you to choose the one that best aligns with your vision for your new home.

Once you've selected your new home, meet with your Community Manager to sign a contract, review the process and meet your Project Manager.

Your Project Manager will introduce you to your new home and its many features. We will walk through the home to confirm the installation of selections and condition of cosmetic surfaces. Your Project Manager will also review key maintenance points to ensure you have years of satisfactory homeownership. Finally, we will discuss planned warranty visits and reporting procedures.

Once you've signed the final papers, you'll be an official member of the Summit family of homeowners. Congratulations!
