Who do you represent in this transaction?

Ask it first and ask for the answer in writing. In North Carolina agency has a specific legal meaning, and the onsite agent at Anderson Farm Townes is paid to sell Anderson Farm Townes.

What is the due diligence fee here, and is any of it credited at closing?

The due diligence fee is nonrefundable and goes to the seller. Get the number, and get it 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 it is on top of the base price until you are told otherwise in writing.

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 builder's answer next to your lender's lock expiry and see whether the two agree. A due diligence contract has no financing contingency.

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.

What D.R. Horton is building in Anderson Farm Townes

D.R. Horton has 7 homes selling in Anderson Farm Townes right now, from $282,490 to $301,940. That band sits under the $414,893 midpoint for new construction in Wendell, which is what pulls buyers to Anderson Farm Townes in the first place. It is also what makes the paperwork worth reading twice. Entry pricing is where builders lean hardest on incentives, preferred lenders, and what counts as an upgrade — and where the gap between the base price on the sign and the number you actually sign for opens widest.

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. D.R. Horton's Broker Referral Program recognizes your agent only if they are registered on or before your first visit — by accompanying you, by contacting the sales office beforehand, or by you naming them at that visit. Any of the three works. None of them works afterwards. The person in the model home has no reason to raise it.

What to ask before you sign in Anderson Farm Townes

Take these to the model home. The answers are all reasonable to ask for in writing.
