David Weekley Homes Launches Innovative Online Concept For Homebuyers

by David Weekley Homes

Homebuyers wanting to stay abreast of the progress made on their new home without regularly venturing to the construction site have an exciting, convenient alternative. David Weekley Homes recently launched mydwhome.com, a password protected Web site that allows homebuyers to see photos of their home's construction process during each of the homebuilding phases as well as communicate directly with their personal builder and sales consultant.

Keeping track of the construction process is only one of the many features mydwhome.com provides homebuyers. The easy to navigate site also contains an electronic version of the selected floorplan and a copy of David Weekley Homes' Homeowner Portfolio. The portfolio provides a step-by-step guide to the home buying process, expectations of the buyer and the builder as well as company facts and background information. In addition, homebuyers can refer to the Web site for helpful moving tips and links, seasonal home maintenance advice and information on home appliances and systems.

"We understand that choosing a home is a very personal decision and homebuyers want to be as involved as possible during the construction process," said David Weekley, chairman of David Weekley Homes. "However, most consumers are extremely busy and may not always have the time to drive out to the site. The desire for all families to feel like they are part of the process is what inspired the creation of mydwhome.com." Homeowners can visit the site as often as they wish to access information about their home and view the latest construction photos. New photos are added during each homebuilding phase and then archived on the site for homeowners' convenience. "The feedback we've been receiving from our homebuyers regarding the new site is extremely positive. For example, one home buyer was so excited about his new home that he logged on to mydwhomes.com 164 times in a little over a month to show it off to coworkers and family members," commented Weekley. "The site is quickly becoming a tool that homebuyers turn to for updates on the progress of their home, and that's our number one goal."
