Your Guide to Buying a New Construction Home with Parkside Builders

Buying a new home is one of the most meaningful decisions you’ll ever make, and at Parkside Builders we believe the entire buying process should feel just as rewarding as the moment you officially get your keys. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or simply new to new home construction, our team is here to guide you through every step with clarity, care and confidence. 

Read on to take a closer look at what the journey looks like when you build your home with our team at Parkside Builders. 

Step 1: Starting the Conversation

It all begins with a simple conversation. At your first meeting, you’ll sit down with one of our Community Sales Managers—your go-to guide throughout the journey. This is where you’ll discuss the key aspects of your home. What does your lifestyle look like? What’s your budget? What features are important to you? You'll also get to explore our communities, available homesites and a wide range of floor plans, from charming single-family homes to spacious townhomes. 

Think of this as the “getting to know you” phase—because the better we understand your needs, the better we can help you find a home that truly fits. 

Step 2: Picking the Perfect Plan and Homesite

Once you’ve found a community you love, it’s time to dive into the details. You’ll select the floor plan that best suits your lifestyle—maybe you need a flex space for a home office, or perhaps an open-concept living area is your top priority. Then, you’ll choose the exact homesite in our master-designed community where your new home will be built. Whether you prefer a quiet corner lot, want to be close to amenities, or a spot close to the entrance for quick commuting, we’ll help you find a location that complements your daily life and long-term goals.

Step 3: Making it Yours at the Design Center

This is where your vision truly starts to take shape. With the help of our expert Design Center Manager you’ll personalize your new home—selecting finishes, colors, materials and optional upgrades that reflect your style and budget.

If you’ve chosen a move-in ready home or one of our pre-designed selections, much of this work is already done, saving you time while still delivering elevated design and style. Whether you’re hands-on or happy to let the experts take the reins, this part of the process is all about bringing your dream home to life. 

Step 4: Signing and Securing Your Home

Once you’ve finalized your home design, it’s time to make things official. You’ll sign the Sales & Purchase Agreement and use our easy online payment system to submit your Earnest Money—no checks or paperwork headaches here. 

At Parkside Builders, we have a few Preferred Lenders that we partner with who can guide you through securing a mortgage that fits your financial goals. From interest rates to loan approvals, they make the process straightforward and stress-free. 

Step 5: Watching it All Come Together

Now the real excitement begins—construction! This phase brings your home from blueprint to reality, and we’ll keep you updated every step of the way. From the first framing to final finishes, our team will walk you through key milestones and answer any questions you have along the way. 

This is your opportunity to see for yourself the craftsmanship, care and quality that goes into every Parkside Builders home. 

Step 6: Final Walkthrough and Orientation

As your home nears completion, you’ll be invited to a detailed orientation with our construction team. This walkthrough is your time to explore every room, ask any questions you may have and ensure that everything meets your expectations. 

We’ll review how your home’s systems work, point out key features and note any last-minute touch-ups that need attention. It’s all part of making sure you feel confident and comfortable before move-in day. 

Step 7: Closing Day–Welcome Home

The big day has arrived, and with paperwork complete and keys in hand, it’s time to celebrate the fact that you’re officially a homeowner. Whether it’s your first home or your forever home, the moment you walk through the front door is always unforgettable. 

Step 8: Continued Care After You Move In

Our relationship doesn’t end at closing. Our team at Parkside Builders is committed to your long-term peace of mind. From warranty support to general questions, our team is just a phone call or email away. 

We’re not just building new homes in Tennesse—we’re building trust and community, and that includes being there for you, even after you’ve settled in.
