NEW YEAR, NEW TENDER

In December, Wisdom Homes shut down for the Christmas break so we knew our Tender Presentation would happen in mid to late January of 2018. We had been looking forward to this day since paying our Holding Deposit because even though we had already handed over cash, it only gets real when you sign on that dotted line! I had prepared for this day – going through the house plans, the sketch, the Sales Quote over and over. I had spreadsheets with all my budget and all my questions. So to say I was organised, is an understatement! We spent many weekends going to display homes and taking pictures and notes! Dragging the kids along too! I even had a display folder, or dare I say, a “portfolio” of pictures to show the Tender Presenter of all the things we wanted included so I knew we would be on the same page.

PRE TENDER MEETING

A few weeks after paying the holding deposit, we had another meeting with Lisa. In this meeting, you get to walkthrough the display home where you get to pick and choose the additions and items you want added in your Tender. This process is really exciting because you get to tell your Sales Consultant – “I want this, I want that”, while pointing at the things you think you can afford – or can’t!

A few weeks after the Pre Tender Meeting, i received the Plan Siting and Sketch in my inbox. There were a few more changes, amendments and questions for our very patient Sales Consultant!
