5 Ways to Celebrate Father’s Day

Are you spending your weekends looking at homes for sale? McKinney, TX is one of the best places to live in the U.S. with excellent schools, safe streets, low crime and ample job opportunities. While it may be tempting to tour the available homes for sale in McKinney on Father’s Day, here are some other ways you can celebrate Dad’s special day:

1. Make Dad breakfast in bed. Let Dad sleep in, then treat him to his favorite foods – maybe eggs and bacon or pancakes for breakfast.

2. Have a family barbecue. Invite all the dads in your family to celebrate, but let someone else handle the grill for a change! You don’t have to stay at home either — go the beach, a local park or any other favorite spot of dad’s.

3. Take dad to his favorite sporting event. Is your dad a sports buff? Splurge on tickets to see his favorite sports team in action, or join him for a day of fishing or a round of golf.

4. Get creative. Forget the usual store-bought gifts of socks and ties. Come up with a personalized gift for dad. Write a poem. Make a gift basket of his favorite homemade cookies. Draw a picture or frame a favorite photo. Burn a CD of his favorite music, or upload tunes to his mp3 player.

5. Acknowledge him.  Don’t forget to let your dad know how much you care, and what a great job he’s doing. A heartfelt speech, a hand-made card, a toast, or simply some loving words at the dinner table will be a wonderful way to celebrate this special occasion.

Happy Birthday, Landon Homes!

This month, Landon Homes turns two-years-old and to celebrate, we’re giving YOU a gift!  You can take advantage of our 2/1 interest rate buy down promotion or you can receive some extra money to spend in our design center. This promo is being offered on select new homes that are financed through our preferred lender, Flagstone Lending

Landon has come a long way in just two short years.  The company has built and sold more than 250 new energy efficient homes throughout Little Elm, Frisco, McKinney and North Dallas, TX. It’s a significant achievement in two short years, considering that John Landon started this company in the midst of an economic downturn. However, the president of Landon Homes saw the economy as an opportunity, rather than an obstacle.   

Landon realized that lumber, land, and labor prices had fallen considerably, making it more affordable to build homes. And he knew that if people were in a position to buy now, they would have an exciting opportunity to get a lot of high quality at a very good price. Landon says, “If we build the right product, at the right price, in the right location, we’ll do OK, even in this environment.” “We call it our Value Equation.” 

Landon has the experience to back up his beliefs. He created Legacy Homes in 1987, when the economy was in the midst of another recession. “We were profitable in five months,” says Landon. And Legacy Homes eventually grew from a single community in Dallas to become the 12th largest builder in the nation. 

The Landon team brings an unmatched wealth of talent, expertise and enthusiasm to every home they build. Our energy experts work hand-in-hand with our architects to create a home that is both beautiful and eco-friendly. Our goal is to build homes with lasting value and quality – creating the very best home for you in exceptional neighborhoods with highly acclaimed school systems.

Don’t Just Buy, Buy “Down”!

Landon Homes is running a 2/1 buy down promotion through August 31 on select new homes that are financed through its preferred lender, Flagstone Lending.  Under the promotion, the interest rate on the loan would begin at a very low rate, then increase gradually over the next two years, before settling at a permanent rate for the remainder of the 30-year loan. 

For instance, if the current interest rate is 4.5 percent, the interest rate for the buy down would begin at 2.5 percent the first year, increase to 3.5 percent the second year, and then rise to 4.5 percent the third year, where it would stay throughout the remainder of the loan’s 30-year term. The title policy is included in the promotion, and there are no loan origination fees. 

As an added incentive, Landon says every customer that purchases one of the special 2/1 buy down homes will go into a drawing for a brand new Nintendo WII family gaming console package. 

If for some reason you don’t need to take advantage of the extra-low interest rate buy down being offered by Landon, Flagstone loan officer Patrick Iglinsky says he can mold the promotion into something that will be beneficial for you. 

The mortgage process may not be easy to navigate these days, but Iglinsky says he works closely with the Landon team and the title company to manage the flow of information for the home buyer. As a result, Iglinsky says he helps ensure that the approval process goes smoothly from the day the contract is signed to the day of closing.
