Locked In... and Some Happy Moments!

We finally locked in a comfortable rate with NVRM. Though they didn't match penny to penny against our other GFEs, we think it is a decent rate and cost.
Historically the rate seems to go lower in the winter months. Maybe we rushed through the process, but we wanted to put the mortgage issue behind us and enjoy the rest of the 30 days. We will just have to refinance if the rates go well below 4% like last year.

Our visit this time was a happy one since things are coming together. The new PM gave us a quick tour. A lot of things have been completed.
We felt that our choices didn't go wrong any where.

Though we did not upgrade the carpet everywhere, we got the upgraded carpet pad throughout the house. It doesn't feel cheap at all.  We will be installing hardwood later on.
Couldn't get clear pictures since the tile and carpet were all covered.

The kitchen cabinets and the counter tops are a perfect match. (The granite is covered.) We are planning to install glass tile back-splash later on.

We have the biggest pantry a townhome can have. And a lot of storage spaces as well...










Love the Powder Room! The Master bath tile is not finished yet. That is something we are looking forward to since we upgraded it.

The spacious dining room with NVHomes signature finishes.










The whole row of houses look wonderful!

More pictures to come...

It is Beginning to Look a lot Like....

It  is indeed an exciting phase since it is really starting to look like a house. 

The cabinets are up and the tile is done in most of the places.

Still waiting for the granite in the kitchen and the tile in the master bath room. 

The mortgage issue did burst the bubble out of us. We are really tired of all the negotiations.
NVRM has a lot to improve in timely communications and earning customers trust.

Malaise is contagious and their actions make us mistrust them in every step of the way.

However, we have to give it up for our SR. She has been a true advocate fighting for us while keeping her promise to resolve the issue. We might go with NVRM after all, but we'll have to pay a little higher to get the market rate.
Hopefully they will make the 'Closing' painless.

Just when we synced up with our PM, he was replaced. Not sure if he left the company or just moved to a different community.

The new PM is updating us on all the work being carried in the week. No problems there so far.

The finished kitchen and master bath room may put the excitement back in this process. Will post pictures when we visit the house again...
