Step 1

Choose your Dream Home

View our MLS listings or visit one of our many model homes to pick the community, lot and home that suits your needs.

Step 2

Complete a Purchase & Sales Agreement

Scott MacDonald our Director of Sales will help you navigate the paperwork completing a purchase and sale agreement. Provident is also happy to work with you and your real estate agent. We cooperate with all Brokers.

Step 3

10 Day Review – Financing, Legal, Deposit and Insurability

Once you have an accepted offer there is a 10 day period where 4 milestones are completed. A) Proof of financing, typically your bank or mortgage broker will provide you a pre-approval letter for the value of the home you are purchasing. B) Both the sellers and buyers’ lawyers review the completed paperwork to ensure they+ are satisfied. C) Within 48hrs of an accepted offer a deposit is due that is held in trust by our lawyer D) Buyers need to contact their insurer to confirm insurability for the home they are purchasing. After these 4 activities are satisfied, the deal is firm and the home is officially SOLD.

Step 4

Complete the finish schedule (for a new construction home)

Within 3-4 weeks of a deal becoming firm the buyers will sit down with Provident to customize their interior finish selections. This task will take approx. 1.5 hrs and be completed at one of our sample showrooms located at our model home. Buyers have the opportunity to choose paint colors, floor tiles, hardwood, countertops etc… all selected from on site samples.

Step 5

Construction of Your New Home

Provident will build your new home from start to finish in 5 months. Once a deal is accepted the permit process begins followed by footings, foundation & framing.
