We are committed to building not only the right home, but making sure our buyers have the right tools to move them through a smooth and enjoyable path to homeownership.
The Path to Your New Home Starts Here:
Find the right Smith Douglas Home
We seek to find the perfect locations that offer convenience and long-term value. For a list of our communities and model home hours, visit the Find Your Home page on our site.
Choose Your Home Design
We offer a variety of floorplans for you to choose from. With over 40 years in the business, we make sure to design a floorplan around a buyers’ needs and wants. When you visit one of our communities, one of our New Home Specialists will help you choose your homesite and the best floorplan to suit your lifestyle as they guide you through the process of home ownership. Together, we want to build a home that’s all about you.
Financing
Once you have chosen your community and floorplan, our expert team will connect you to our preferred lender to help you get pre-qualified for a new home loan. For more information on financing and other homebuying tools, contact one a New Home Specialist today.
Pre-construction
We will order proper building permits and begin construction. A building schedule will be designed specifically for your new home along with your move-in date.
Personalize Your Home
Now that the process has begun, you can start to add your own style. A meeting will be set with your Smith Douglas New Home Specialist to personalize your home with the features and fixtures you most desire.
Building and Quality Control
The construction process takes approximately 12 weeks and a walk through is scheduled before closing. The final walk through is scheduled to inspect final details and discuss warranty information. We pride ourselves in making sure your home meets all required code regulations and is in prime condition before your move-in date.
Warranty
Every Smith Douglas home comes with a 1-Year Limited Warranty and 10 year structural defects limited warranty.* Service requests can be submitted at 30 days, 90 days and 11 months. Items that are covered under our 1-Year Limited Warranty will be addressed at that time.
Moving Day
Congratulations! The day you have been waiting for…moving day! Your personal Smith Douglas New Home Specialist will schedule your closing at the attorney’s office, which typically takes around one hour. Please plan to bring your photo ID, copy of homeowner’s insurance policy, personal checkbook, and wire the required down payment to the attorney a day in advance. We will then hand over the keys to your brand new home!
Refer Friends and Family
Smith Douglas Homes takes every step to ensure you have a pleasant and wonderful experience in building your new home. We hope you will continue to refer friends and family to our communities! We offer limited time “Referral Programs” that reward you for referring friends and family to a Smith Douglas Homes community.
