Q:     Do you have a list of approved builders?

A:     Manderley is an open development in that you may bring your choice of builder.  Your building contractor must show that he or she has successfully built luxury homes in this price range in the past, and must agree to follow our architectural requirements.  You are building your dream home; we want you to work with the builder with whom you feel most comfortable to make that process go as smoothly as possible.  If you do not have a builder in mind, we can suggest local builders you may wish to interview.

 

Q:    What price range do you anticipate for the homes in Manderley?

A:     We believe homes in this subdivision will range from the upper $400,000s to over $1 million. 

 

Q:     Is the development within the city limits of Kansas City? 

A:     Manderley is located within the city limits of Kansas City.  In addition, Manderley is supported by all Kansas City services, including water and sewer. 

 

Q:     What schools will my children attend?

A:     Children in Manderley attend the award-winning Liberty Public Schools.  Starting in the 2009-2010 school year, grades K-5 will attend Warren Hills Elementary, grades 6-7 will attend South Valley Middle School, grades 8-9 will attend South Valley Junior High, and -- starting in 2010 -- grades 10-12 will attend the new Liberty Senior High, which will be located 1/2 mile from Manderley.   For more information on Liberty Public Schools, visit the LPS website.

 

Q:     What about real estate commissions?

A:     There are no real estate commissions at Manderley.  At many developments, even if you build a custom home, you will pay 6% of the total cost of your home and lot to the Realtor marketing the development.  At Brownfig Development, we would prefer that you put that money into your home or use it however you wish.  So, keep this in mind when you are comparing Manderley to other developments:  if you build a $500,000 house (including your lot), you will save $30,000 in real estate fees at Manderley, as compared to what you might spend at other developments. 

         Obviously, a Realtor can be an invaluable resource in constructing your new home.  If you have a Realtor you would like to use to help you in this process, all Buyers' Realtors are welcome. It is up to you how you want construction of your dream home to work.

 

Q:     What common areas and amenities does the development have?

A:     At the entrance to the development, there are two ponds and a wooded walking trail that are open to homeowners.  The east pond and walking trail lead to an amphitheater which will be used for community gatherings and events.  We anticipate holding concerts and movie nights in the amphitheater.
