• Double sided signs should be used where traffic can pass from either direction.

Model Signage

Sales and Construction Closing Schedule Process

Who is responsible: Sales Advisor

What is the Goal: To ensure we are communicating proper finish and closing dates to our buyers and their realtors.

Why is this important: To keep Rockhaven communicating thoroughly and consistently in each community to insure that each homebuyer has the highest potential for a Superior Homebuying Experience regardless of where they choose to live within our Rockhaven communities.

7/7/23

Sales and Construction Closing Schedule Process

Sales Advisors will not schedule closings directly with the Closing Attorney-Trade Partner (McMichael and Gray). The following core process will ensue:

Closing Dates Established

• Contract & Closing Coordinator and VP of Sales will discuss date for closing with VP of Construction during the Pipeline Meeting for the sole purpose of establishing a closing calendar for under contract homes that are at “post counter-top installation” stage of construction for the upcoming month. This is to ensure consistent closings throughout the calendar month.

• No contract changes that will change the contract price within the 30 days prior to closing. By not accepting any changes during this 30 period, we can be more certain that nothing will be missed or installed incorrectly, and have the best opportunity of receiving a full price appraisal for the property.

• VP of Construction will determine a hard completion date along with closing dates for each community with closing backlog within the above parameters as well as any foreseen delays and convey this to the VP of Sales during the Pipeline meeting. Presale closings that require an “Estimated Close” date for the contract will still be done by reviewing the Closing Slot Schedule prior to writing the contract until further notice. (No closings will be scheduled on the last two closable days of the month).

• Construction VP will provide closing dates during the Pipeline Meeting. Any updates that require a quick change will be relayed to the closing attorney by the Rockhaven Homes Closing Coordinator. Sales Advisor will get closing dates by email of the pipeline report for their community no later than Wednesday each week.

• The following process will ensue:

o Sales Advisor will notify the Buyer and Co-Op Agent (where applicable) immediately of the closing date, time and available dates and times for 1st Walk Through via the attached outlined email template. The goal is for Sales Advisors to have this completed with response from buyer before the following Monday.

o During the Weekly Level 10 Community Team Meeting, the Sales Advisor and Project Manager will establish that dates and times for the 1st walk throughs are agreed to by all (Project Manager, Sales Advisor and Buyer/Co-op Agent).

7/7/23

Sales and Construction Closing Schedule Process

The finalized Walk-Through dates and times will then be with the Project Manager through sending a meeting invite.

• Project Manager and Sales Advisor will set the Final Walk Through immediately following the completion of the 1st Walk Through based on the established closing date, time, and punch list items that need to be completed.

• Any changes in closings due to buyer’s financing, construction delays or unforeseen issues must be conveyed to the VP of Sales, Contract & Closings Coordinator, and VP of Construction as soon as you have knowledge that there is no other resolve to keep the process moving forward and on time.

• 100% completed Inventory Home closings will be scheduled with no less than a 30day turnaround using the estimated completion date in IHMS as the guide.

• Within 24 hours of receipt of executed contract, the Sales Advisor will distribute the copies to the current distribution list, attorney and preferred lender with the following added to any additional information in the body of the email: ***30-DayClosing*** (It is the sales advisor’s responsibility to confirm if the home is 100%, C.O. in hand and the loan can be funded in the allotted timeframe prior to sending this email).

• The Closing Attorney-Trade Partner will then follow the process of scheduling the closing time and send the Outlook calendar as outlined previously. (Cash closings on 100% completed inventory homes will be handled on a case-by-case basis if closing in less than 30 days, and determined by VP of Construction and VP of Sales).

The Goal

Pre-established closing dates and times will be on hand and ready to effectively fill out the following month’s Weekly Community Team Meetings. This will allow time for corrections to issues that could potentially arise well in advance of the closing date. The optimum outcome is a zero-punch list prior to closing. The consistency of closings throughout the month will allow trade partners and internal departments to offer a better support system for everyone.

7/7/23

Who is responsible: The Sales Advisor is responsible for uploading Addenda to IHMS.

What is the Goal: To ensure that the binding documentation for each Agreement is uploaded to IHMS so other Department Members can access them.
