Choose Your Floor Plan

Drafting Your Home Plan

Agree to the Sale

Once you have drafted and approved the detailed features of your new home, it is time to sign an Agreement of Sale.

Apply for Your Mortgage

Now is the time to secure financing for your new home through a reputable mortgage company. The Mortgage Financing Process section provides detailed information to help guide you through this step. 

Finalize Your Home Features

Now that construction is nearly underway, an appointment with a Hallmark Homes Group design specialist is in order. Here, your creativity and imagination can be applied to the many design finishes, options and upgrades that will express your individual style in your new home. 

Let the Building Begin

Upon completion of all paperwork detailing your selections and upgrades, the building begins.
