It should reflect your personality, your day-to-day life, and, yes, your budget. Which is why we developed the Personal Value List. It's the very first step in building a home with Wayne. The Personal Value List helps you prioritize what you want and need from your new home. And it helps us put together a plan and a price that fits you to a tee. ## Our job is to make this easier than you thought it would be There's a reason why Wayne Homes has won more awards for customer service and satisfaction than just about any other builder out there. It's because we devote as much effort to our homebuilding process as we do to creating great home designs. We've taken what is typically a confusing, unpredictable path and made it smooth and methodical. Even fun. And we support our customers at every step, from the moment they first walk through our door to the moment they walk through their very own front door. ## Our Process: from start to finish with Wayne Homes ### Step 1: Appointments and Tours Wayne is now offering a virtual homebuying experience. Schedule a live, virtual tour from the comfort of your own home, or schedule a safe, in-person tour. We have a number of virtual, interactive tours to give you a fully immersive experience, and you can even begin your design selection process from anywhere in the world with our virtual design studio. ### Step 2: Your 1-on-1 Appointment Your New Home Consultant introduces you to the Personal Value List: Let's talk about the home in your head, what inspires you and what your family really needs, and how to make it a reality without blowing your budget. ### Step 3: Contract Meeting This is where your ownership and building experience truly begins. At your contract meeting, you will be presented with a purchase agreement and various documents that constitute the legal understanding regarding the purchase of your new home. ### Step 4: Color Selection: Design This is where your home really comes to life. Get ready to customize and personalize to your heart's content, colors, lighting, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures and more. ### Step 5: Lot Inspection / Pre-Construction Meetings You will meet your Field Manager at your home site. They will review your plans, selections and land-related allowance items. This meeting is designed to give you a clear understanding of the construction process. You'll also discuss your favorite communication style, would you prefer a phone call or text message to keep you up-to-date on the progress of your home? ### Step 6: Permitting Building a Wayne Home on your lot requires that you apply for permits yourself, which can vary from state to state and county to county. Meanwhile, since a construction loan is different from a regular home loan, you'll need to talk with a specialist. Our Production Administrator is always here to help with any questions you have about both pulling permits and financing. ### Step 7: Dig Day Ready to review those dream plans you just created? Your Design Consultant will walk you through your final selections and blueprints and will mark any changes. You'll also receive an estimate for the total construction cost. ### Step 8: Pre-Drywall Orientation During this meeting, you and your Field Manager will walk through your new home prior to the installation of the drywall. This will help you gain an understanding of how the framing and mechanical systems of your new home work. ### Step 9: Pre-Closing Orientation As your new home nears completion, you and your Field Manager will walk through the home and start a checklist of any items or issues that are of concern to you. This is an extremely important step in our process. Our goal is to turn your home over to you with zero defects. This meeting helps our production team determine what needs to be done in order to meet that goal. ### Step 10: Closing - Welcome Home This is your last formally scheduled meeting with your Field Manager. Together, you will review important information about your new home warranty. Final documents will be delivered, along with your keys. Congratulations on your new Wayne Home. Welcome to the family. ## Your Trusted Guides during the process **Your New Home Consultant:** This is the person that will be at your side through the entire process, helping you select and customize your home design, answering all your questions, and providing everything you need as your home is being built. Your NHC will be with you through every step of our build process. **Your Field Manager:** This is who oversees the construction of your home from the ground up, assuring that it gets built exactly how you wanted it. No surprises. (Well, maybe some pleasant ones.) Your Field Manager will be involved from Step 5: Lot Inspection through your move-in day. **Your Production Administrator:** Your PA will walk you through the permitting process as well as the construction loan process, known as Cycle Two. Since building a home on your lot requires that the homeowner applies for their own permits, and that can vary from state to state and county to county, your PA will guide you through the process step by step. Your PA will walk you through this in Step 6: Permitting. **Your Design Consultant:** Helps you select finishes and create a look that fits your budget and style. --- # The right loan for your journey starts here URL: https://waynehomes.com/building-with-wayne/financing-your-custom-home/ Whether you're going the traditional route or using your VA benefits, we make financing your Wayne Home simple and stress-free.

If you're looking for land in Ohio or Pennsylvania, check out our Neighborhood Finder that's updated with available homesites. There is a lot to consider when looking to select the right home site for your new Wayne home. We've taken the guesswork out of the process. Here are a few pointers to get you started. Remember, Wayne Homes is available for a free home site evaluation before you buy your land. 1. **Consider your connections** - What do you want to be close to? Get a map of the area and put a star on the places you want to be close to: schools, work, friends, family, shopping district, etc. 2. **Resources for finding a homesite** - Once you've decided on a general vicinity, there are great resources for finding a range of available home sites. 3. What to keep in mind about rural home sites. 4. What to keep in mind about subdivision home sites. ## The Basics Of Buying Land Here's a simple way to remember the basic criteria of a land purchase: don't buy the land if it doesn't spell L-A-N-D. - **L** - Lot surveyed by a registered surveyor to have the deed approved. - **A** - Approval of deed by county tax map department, planning commissions, and health department. - **N** - No outstanding liens or deed restrictions such as mineral rights, easements, etc. that would hinder construction. - **D** - Designated in an area that is not subject to floods. Remember: Once you've met with a New Home Consultant, Wayne Homes is available for a free homesite evaluation before you buy your land. ## Answers To Some Of The Questions We Hear Most Often **Can I buy the land directly from the seller and not use an attorney?** Yes. But very few people are familiar with real estate law and deeds, so we highly recommend that you work with a real estate attorney. All title companies have at least one staff attorney. **Must I buy land through a real estate broker?** No. Many people sell their land themselves without the help of a broker. But, again, we recommend that you have an expert, such as an attorney or realtor, assist you and the seller. **May I deed the land in whatever name I choose?** Yes. But there could be tax and legal implications, so consult your attorney. Also, depending on how you finance the land, the name on the deed may need to match the name on the loan. **What is a land contract?** Simply put, it's a written agreement filed at the county courthouse showing that a seller agrees to sell and the buyer agrees to buy at a set price, for a set term, at an agreed-upon interest rate with payments. But the deed does not transfer into the buyer's name until the contract price is paid in full. **Can I get a construction mortgage on land that I am buying on "land contract"?** No. Either you or the bank must pay off the land contract balance. Then a deed must be prepared by an attorney to transfer the title of the land into your name. --- # Frequently Asked Home Building Questions URL: https://waynehomes.com/building-with-wayne/faqs/ ## How do I know if you can build on my land? We offer a free home site evaluation for our customers. If you own a piece of land or are trying to decide if you should make an offer to purchase, we'll come evaluate your property to make sure the Wayne home you are thinking about can be built on that property. Let our experts help you make the right decisions. ## What if I don't have land? Most of our customers don't have land when they first come to us. We are here to help. We have contacts throughout the area that update us on available land. We can help get you started on your search based on where you want to live, and whether you want to live in a neighborhood or out in the country. We're just a click or a phone call away. ## How do we communicate during construction? Our Field Managers understand the importance of consistent communication. In addition to the phone calls and emails keeping you up to date on the schedule of your new home, you will also have regularly scheduled meetings with your Field Manager at your home during construction. When you have questions about the construction of your new home you will have your Field Manager's cell phone number in order to contact them directly. But you also want to see the home, right? That's where the Wayne Homes App comes in. Your field manager will upload your personal portal with photos of your home at every stage of the process. ## How do I find out how much my new home will cost? Make an appointment with your New Home Consultant, call the Model Center, or chat with Julie. Any of these will help you start from the beginning. First, you will select the home, then move onto the custom changes and options that you'd like to add. Second, determine how much your land will cost and the allowance items necessary to prepare your land (well and septic, driveway, sidewalks, landscaping, etc.). Your New Home Consultant can give you accurate estimates for all these items. What they won't do is give you a low-ball price to make your total investment look great but end up costing you more money in the end, but an accurate estimate with experience and local knowledge behind it. ## What kind of warranties come with my Wayne Home? Warranties and taking care of our customers after they move in is something we pride ourselves in. When you buy a Wayne Home, you receive a 10 year structural warranty. You also receive the manufacturer's warranties on each of the products that have been put into your home. These warranties range from a minimum of 1 year up to 10 years. We are most proud of our 2 Year Fit and Finish Warranty which is the best in the industry and is unmatched in the area. We go one year further and provide coverage to ensure that all warranted items will function and operate just like they did when you first moved in. ## Can I finance land in my construction loan? Yes, you can finance your land and your new home into one construction loan. You can also combine these if you already own your land but still have a remaining balance. The balance owed on your land will be added into your loan. This saves you from having two separate closings and also saves money on closing costs. ## Can I build a new home when I have an existing home to sell? Yes, most financial institutions offer Bridge Loan and/or Interest Reserve programs. These programs can give you access to some or all of the equity in your present home. This equity can serve as your down payment and might also reduce your existing home payment. Using these programs also allows you to move right into your new Wayne Home without having to move twice. ## How do I take care of the site work and utilities? Your personal Field Manager will assist you in taking care of these items. There is also a whole team of people in the office that are there to help you. Our Production Administrators and Design Consultants work with you and your Field Manager to make sure all the prep work gets scheduled and completed in a timely manner, helping you get closer to move in day. ## Will you build from my plans? Generally, we don't build from anyone else's plans. Most of the time we're able to review a floor plan and suggest one of ours with design and structural changes. ## What type and size of homes do you build? We offer more than 50 different floor plans ranging from 1300 square feet to nearly 3600 square feet of living space. We also offer a wide variety of plans from cozy cape cods to split levels, and from ranches to two-stories with master suites on the first floor or upstairs. It's your choice. ## What manufacturers do we use? We use only the finest quality materials in our homes. Here are a few of the many nationally known and recognized companies who help us create a home of quality and value. Partners like Pella, Pfister, Mohawk, Dow, Carrier, Wilsonart, GAF, Mannington and Kwikset, just to name a few. It's because of companies such as these that we can offer you more choices for less. You can buy with confidence, knowing that your home has been built to last. ## How do I find out how much various options are? The best way is to sit down with a New Home Consultant and determine what type of home is the best for you and your family. Our sales teams are experts at working with you to find out what's most important and what you absolutely have to have in your new home. Call and ask how you can get a Value List, that's the most valuable tool you can have in your new home search. ## How much are the exteriors? We have over 50 floor plans and each of those floor plans has two to four exteriors. Our exterior prices range from less than $1,000 to over $20,000. It just depends upon what's been added to the classic exterior. Please email Julie and she will be able to give you those specific prices based on where you are planning to build. ## Can I walk through a plan that's not a model? We would love to have models of each of our floor plans. Obviously that's not economically feasible. So we ask our homeowners if new customers can walk through their homes while under construction. It certainly makes a difference when you can see a home first hand rather than on a brochure or blueprint. Your New Home Consultant can find out if your home is being built in the area. Keep in mind, it might not be close. We've had customers drive across the state just to be able to walk through the home and make sure it's the one. ## Where do you build? Currently, we build in four states, Central and Northern Ohio, Southern Michigan, Western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Please contact Julie, our Online Sales Consultant, or call your local sales center to find out their exact building area. ## Can I make changes to the plan? Yes. We build exactly what you want, right where you want it. Go ahead, ask us to move a wall, add a window, create the kitchen of your dreams or add a sunroom, we'll do it. We'll make our home completely yours. ## What are the additional building costs? A lot of that depends on where you are building. Each county, township or borough has their own fees and permit charges. Septic systems are more expensive than hooking up to a city sewer system. We have experts on staff who are able to give you the answers that you're looking for. Please call your local sales center or 1-800-WAYNE60. We'd be happy to help. ## How much is land? Land costs vary widely. The local sales office can help you find the area that you would most like to live and provide you with estimates of land costs. ## What's included in the price? Check out our list of included features. We recently made this list even longer. To tell you the truth it's easier to tell you what's not included. Basically, that is your land and anything that needs to be done to that land including adding a well and septic system or city water and sewer hookups. Call or email Julie or a local New Home Consultant. They can help with the info that you're looking for. ## Are basements included in the base price? Absolutely. All homes include a 12 course basement, perfect for storage or finishing off for extra family space. ---
