TRENDMAKER HOMES

Since 1971 Trendmaker Homes has been building new homes in Houston, Texas. Trendmaker has built a reputation as Houston's leading builder of affordable luxury homes. Exciting architectural designs combined with the confidence that comes from buying from one of Houston's most tenured builders makes Trendmaker the clear choice for discriminating home shoppers.

Trendmaker has transcended production home-building by incorporating high architectural design with the SmartDifferences™ providing lifestyle conveniences normally found only on much higher priced custom homes. Trendmaker has found the delicate balance between creature comforts and conveniences and logical cost conservatism, thus affordable luxury.

Home innovation is key to Trendmaker's SmartLiving Collection. Our tenured home-building teams have learned that listening to our customers about how they live in their homes will spring forth a river of great ideas about how to make truly unique homes that blend and mold to easy, convenient daily living.

Trendmaker has consistently enjoyed the highest level of co-op sales with professional Realtors. This is because Realtors have learned to appreciate Trendmaker's proven record of professionalism and customer satisfaction. Ask your professional Realtor about Trendmaker Homes to get the full story about the ownership and resale benefits of owning a Trendmaker Home.

We invite you to tour our beautiful new homes and the outstanding planned communities in which we build and discover what SmartDifferences™ is all about. Or E-Mail Trendmaker Homes if we can serve you in any way with additional new home information.

Buying a new home involves lots of serious issues. Finding the right value for your family means evaluating your unique family needs and matching those to the numerous new home choices. Trendmaker Homes is not the only great builder out there, but we are the only great builder out there matching the qualities of exciting luxury homes with the economies of production home building.

Custom homes can be wonderfully elegant and fashionably current with the latest products as well as an exciting experiment in architectural treatments and floor plan design. However, custom luxury homes can be notoriously expensive and the results may not turn out the dream home you anticipated.

Trendmaker has created the opportunity for you to find proven homes that have been carefully scrutinized over years of evolution to result in fantastically livable floor plans. Excitement and elegance is found in every Trendmaker home, the difference will be obvious to you, your family and your friends. While we do design/engineer for efficiency, we do not engineer the excitement out of our homes. Dramatic architectural design is not free, but it is within your reach when you buy a Trendmaker Home.

Additionally you will love the huge Design Center loaded with the latest materials for your selection and customization of your unique home. Our buying process allows you to make your own individual mark on your home in ways other production builders would not even attempt.

Elegance and architectural high design is obvious as soon as you enter a Trendmaker model home, but a careful eye is needed to see and understand the many SmartDifferences exclusive to Trendmaker. Trendmaker has spent years developing its unique collection of innovative features found in almost every room in the house. Learn about them at this web site or go see them for yourself at our model homes. Once you understand Trendmaker's SmartDfference you will not want to buy a new home without them.

To understand a luxury home is to understand a Trendmaker Home.

Trendmaker wishes to build a home that will be a source of pride and pleasure for your family for many years to come. Our primary focus is for your Trendmaker experience to be safe, enjoyable and relaxed. Our ultimate goal is that you will be highly satisfied and refer Trendmaker Homes to your friends, family and associates.

With that in mind, the information below will provide you with a general guide to help you understand the Trendmaker processes and your role and responsibilities in those processes.
Your Safety
During construction your home is a job site, and it can be a dangerous job site. Your safety is of the utmost high priority to Trendmaker Homes.
Construction sites are filled with materials, tools and equipment that can cause serious injury. When you visit the job site we require that you wear a hard hat. We will provide you hard hats for your use from the sales office. We strongly encourage you to visit the home without your children, especially during the construction stages prior to sheetrock. If children do visit the home, please do not ever allow children to move about the home without your direct and immediate supervision. Trendmaker Construction Quality
For more than thirty years Trendmaker has been trying to build the perfect home, and we have not been able to do it yet!
Unlike many builders, Trendmaker model homes are built and displayed with very few upgrades so that you can actually see what your Trendmaker home should look like. You can expect that your home will be substantially of the same finish standard as seen in our model homes.
Buying and building a new home is like no other purchase you will ever make. Most of the things that we purchase are made or built mechanically in a highly controlled environment, which we never see. Homes, on the other hand, are built by hand right out in the open elements for all to see. Each home, which is composed of several thousand individual components, is a unique, hand-crafted product combining art, science, technology and the raw labor of hundreds of tradesmen and vendors.
During construction, job sites are not pretty sites. Your home will be dirty and the site will appear disheveled, but in the end it will be a beautiful Trendmaker home.
Trendmaker is very proud of our reputation for satisfying our customers and of the homes we build. However, every home ever built, including Trendmaker homes, has its own cosmetic character, complete with flaws and irregularities. Construction Drawings
Prior to the start of construction you will attend a Plan Review Meeting to review and sign your actual construction drawings. We will build your home in substantial, but not exact, conformity to that specific set of plans, and the features specific to your community.
Because we are continuously reviewing, improving and changing our plans, as well as meeting ever changing codes and regulations, your home and construction drawings are unique and are the most current set available. Your home’s windows, cabinet configurations and other important elements are not likely to be the same as an existing home, or even a model home, with the same plan number that you may have seen or been shown in the past.
Additionally, due to varying windstorm requirements along the gulf coast, Trendmaker actually builds different versions of the same plan in different communities. Be advised that houses built in southeast Houston are similar to, but different from, houses built in other parts of the city further away from the coast.Getting Your Mortgage
Getting the right mortgage lender can make a big difference in making the home buying process go smoothly. Your sales representative may suggest mortgage lenders with whom Trendmaker has had a successful history in providing good customer service and are able to work with each individual’s specific needs.
The suggested lenders are reputable and qualified, but they are separate and distinct companies from Trendmaker and we do not control their fees, decisions or actions. Trendmaker Homes has no financial association or agreement with any mortgage company. Trendmaker buyers are free to shop for and obtain a mortgage from any mortgage company, provided that they allow you to comply with the terms specified in your purchase agreement.
As required by the home purchase agreement, you must apply for a loan within five business days from the effective date of the contract and obtain loan approval within forty five days from your contract date. This is a very important responsibility of yours and should be acted upon immediately.
There are some very important items for you to remember regarding your mortgage.

• First, if you are planning to finance items not covered by your original contract, such as additional upgrades or options, a swimming pool or window coverings, you must inform your lender as soon as possible, in that this information is required before loan approval. This information is also needed before ordering the appraisal.
• Secondly, if your home is nearing completion at the time of your purchase and you anticipate a quick closing, please make sure your lender is aware of this at your initial meeting.
• Third, each lender has their own checklist of the required information for loan processing. Be sure to obtain that list and promptly get every single item on the list turned into your chosen lender as soon as possible
