We are happy that we finally made a decision on our dream home. we started our journey from November 2012 after my DH accepted full time opportunity with his company. we thought we would settle down in Carolina..we really liked the place in all the aspects of cost of living and more scenic places with more greenery every where which is why i liked the place so much...we decided to buy our new home in south Carolina, we did our research and our Realtor also helped us a lot with our search. we finally made a decision that we are going to build a new home in Rosemont community Indian Land. Also coming from an Asian community we would consider the direction in which the LOT is facing, we decided to see "North", "East" and "North East" facing lots and finally we found "North East" facing LOTS, and made a decision that we would build a verona Elevation C, with full brick on the front in LOT 153<br />
<br />
Last Saturday on Feb 2nd 2013, we made an offer with Ryan Homes, and we got an email on Monday with a counter offer which is $6000.00 more than the offer we made..But we decided to go ahead as it still is with in the budget that we estimated. After we made a decision i am happy but there's always a feeling, did we make a good decision..? .This is our first time buying a home and we are enjoying the journey and the process of building a new home...<br />

we also decided to use NVR mortgage, as Ryan home would cover $3500 towards closing costs, we made an appointment with Loan officer yesterday, we felt good as far as yesterdays session with loan officer, she did explain everything that we asked in detail. It took 2 hours to complete all our first meeting with loan officer and she said we would know about our loan approval in 3 -4 weeks.</div>
