Our settlement went without a hitch. It started with a status update from our project manager, Jason, regarding the punch items outstanding from the New Home Orientation. Feeling excited, we met at the Settlement Office (NVR). The settlement staff worked us through a decent sized stack of papers for signing. There were no surprises, no extra fees, no unreasonable rules/policies to deal with, so we collected our keys and headed back to the home.
As fate would have it, it was a beautiful sunny day - perfect for day one in a new place. We walked around a bit and then I started on my list of "must do's" - things I decided I wanted to have done before we moved in. These are mainly things that I would consider annoyances - nice-to-have things Ryan could have done but does not do unless you negotiate them in up front. Some experience can be very valuable here. They are mostly small things. For instance, installing wall-mounted door stops on interior doors, completing the drywall and insulation in the garage, or insulating the unfinished space in the home design. No complaints - but it would have been nice if ... Just saying.
In any case, the house was spic and span and ready for us when we got there. It just looked so nice and new. Here's some photos:
