How Our Hawkstone Realtors Can Help You Find a Home

If you want to live in Hawkstone, you will have to decide between buying an existing home or building a new home. Whichever option you choose, we can work with you to make sure that you get the best house for your family’s needs.

At Hawkstone, you have the option to purchase a move-in-ready house or select a floor plan and build a semi-custom home. Our Lithia real estate agents can help you through each step of the process. We can help you choose the right floor plan, work with you as you negotiate with the builder, and help you with any questions that you may have along the way.

Our Hawkstone real estate agents use a three-step process to help our clients buy or build a house:

1. Pre-approval: We recommend that all of our clients get pre-approved for a mortgage, regardless of whether they are buying or building a house. It can be easy to get swept up in all of the “extras” that you can add to your new house, so it is a good idea to know exactly how much you can afford before you start your house hunt. Your preferred lender can pre-approve you for a mortgage so that you have a solid budget. You can also use our mortgage calculator to estimate your monthly mortgage payment.
2. Search: Once you know what your budget is, we can work with you to find the best house for your needs. In Hawkstone, your first decision will be between a move-in-ready home and building a new home. There are more than 20 total floor plans for the different “series” in Hawkstone - Artisan, Inspiration, Innovation, and Casa Fresca. We can help you decide on a floor plan based on your specific needs and make an offer on a move-in-ready house. If you are building a house, we can help you negotiate a contract and customize your house. If you aren’t sold on living in Hawkstone, we can also help you find a different neighborhood in Lithia or beyond.
3. Close: The final step in any real estate transaction (including building a home) is the closing. This is a legal requirement where you sign a lot of paperwork so that the legal title of the home can be transferred to you. We will help you get to the closing date, assisting you with each pre-closing step (such as scheduling a home inspection, which is necessary even for new construction homes). When everything is completed, you’ll get the keys to your house and can schedule your movers!
