How many times have you walked into a model home and wanted to move right into it, exactly<\/em> as it is? Buying a model home is an adventure in itself! We often get asked about this process so here\u2019s the scoop.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We collect lists of interested folks for months ahead of time before a model is built. Once it is available to sell it will be listed on our website right here.<\/p>\n\n\n

There will be a final price that includes the furnishings as well as all the fabulous choices that most model homes exhibit. After all, this is a living breathing showcase of all the things you can do with a home. This home will be used to inspire potential new homeowners throughout the community, so it has to be spectacular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are head over heels and the terms work for you, all it takes is a purchase agreement and some cash to be yours! Can you move in now? Nope, not just yet. A leaseback by definition means that we lease it from the owner, that\u2019s you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will rent the home to use as a model for an agreed upon monthly payment and rental term (usually 1-2 years). In the meantime, you are not only gaining appreciation in your investment, but acquiring monthly rent from Schell Brothers! During this time, we continue to maintain your home. We keep it clean and looking its best. At the end of the rental term the ownership of the model home transfers to you. At the time of transfer, we make sure that you receive the home in pristine condition. All you need to do is bring food and clothing on move-in day. The home is all yours! You won\u2019t even have to hang art on the walls-unless you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The biggest benefit of buying the model home is that all aspects of the decision-making process were done for us. Having the talented design team select every detail resulted in a perfectly coordinated look and feel. We especially like some features we would never have thought to choose, such as the black plumbing fixtures.” – YVONNE & CHARLIE<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>
