THP writes their own agreement of sale. THP discourages agents, lawyers, etc. from participating in any contract negotiations.

I can recall many times where a real estate agent stormed out of the office with 'potential' homeowners following behind. YOU NEED TO READ YOUR CONTRACT WORD FOR WORD. They count on you to sign it on the spot.

The only time THP worked with anyone in real estate is when they needed settlements. They would use an outside agency to market their homes.

Unfortunately it is the responsibility of the customer to read their contract, take it to a lawyer, and get the facts.

so if you are in a planned community and your deposit "should" have been put in escrow but wasn't, the only way to get your money back is for them not to build your home??....even if that's a year from now??? How long does one have to wait before they can move on? How many temp. moves does one have to make? I have made every deadline and have done everything I was suppose to do.......THP hasn't held up to their end of the contract to date.
