What McKee Homes is building in The Walk at East Village
McKee Homes has 7 homes selling in The Walk at East Village, from $359,490 to $433,392 — roughly the $392,240 midpoint for new construction in Clayton. Priced with the market, which means you are choosing The Walk at East Villageon the lot, the plan, and the build, not on a discount. Those are the three things a builder's own agent has the least incentive to talk you out of.
The agent in that model home works for McKee Homes
The person staffing the model home is paid by the builder and represents the builder's interests in the transaction—not yours. Before you visit, understand Questions that uncover the details of a new build so you can decide how you want to be represented.
Before you register at the model home
No builder can stop you from bringing your own agent — that choice is yours and it stays yours. What a registration policy affects is whether the builder recognizes your agent on this purchase, which is why the timing matters. Ask before you go. The person in the model home has no reason to raise it.
What this means in North Carolina
- The due diligence fee is nonrefundable and goes to the seller. Not held in escrow, not credited back if you walk. You write it, the builder keeps it, and it buys you a window to inspect, appraise, and arrange financing. Walk after that window for any reason and you can lose your earnest money too.
- A due diligence contract has no financing contingency.This is the one that costs people real money. Once due diligence ends you are committed whether or not your loan closes. If rates move, if the appraisal comes in short, if underwriting turns on a detail in your file — that is your problem, not the builder's.
- The contract is the builder's paper, not the standard NC form. Every agent in this state knows the standard Offer to Purchase. A builder's contract is written by the builder's lawyers for the builder's benefit, and the clauses that matter most — completion dates, change orders, what happens if the build runs long, which disputes go to arbitration — are the ones that differ from the form you would otherwise be signing.
What to ask before you sign in The Walk at East Village
Take these to the model home. The answers are all reasonable to ask for in writing.
- Who do you represent in this transaction? Ask it first and ask for the answer in writing. In North Carolina it has a specific legal meaning, and the answer is not you.
- What is the due diligence fee here, and is any of it credited at closing? Get the number before you fall for the plan.
- Is the lot premium inside the base price or on top of it? On a corner, a cul-de-sac, or anything backing to trees, assume on top until told otherwise.
- What is standard at this price and what is an upgrade? Ask specifically about flooring, cabinets, countertops, trim, and the garage. The model home is built to sell, not to spec.
- What is the build timeline, and what happens if it slips past my rate lock? Put the answer next to your lender's lock expiry and see whether the two agree.
- What do I give up by not using your preferred lender? Builder incentives are often tied to financing. That is legal and common — you just need the number so you can compare it against a better rate elsewhere.
- Can I bring my own inspector, and at which stages? Pre-drywall and final are the two that matter. A yes here tells you something about the builder.
- What are the HOA dues, what do they cover, and what is still to be built? In an actively building community, the amenity you are buying for may be three phases out.
- What is the warranty, and who honors it? One year, two, ten — and whether it is the builder or a third-party administrator answering the phone in year three.
