Self-Tour, Open House, or Sales Appointment: Which Should You Choose?

Every person’s homebuying journey looks different. Some people like to quietly browse on their own timeline, and some prefer to jump into the details right away.

When you’re ready to start exploring EGStoltzfus homes and communities, you have choices!

Beyond our website we have three unique ways you can learn more about EGS, with each offering a different level of guidance from our team.

It’s like choosing your own adventure – you can just dip your toes in the water or take the deep dive into the homebuying process! Let’s look at which option might be best for you.

Option 1: Self-Guided Tour

Perfect for the independent explorer or someone who’s in the early stages of their home search, our self-guided tours let you experience an EGS home on your terms.

There’s no sales interaction or scheduling around someone else’s availability. It’s just you and our beautiful homes!

Take a tour before work, over lunch, or during the evening or weekend. You can walk through the model or quick move-in home at your own pace, spend time in each room, and really picture how you’d live in the space.

Besides touring the home, you can also get a feel for the neighborhood. Drive the streets, check out the nearby amenities, and see if the community vibe matches what you’re looking for.

To take a self-tour: Visit the property and scan the QR code near the front door, or schedule in advance at a time that works for you. After a quick registration, you’ll receive an access code to enter the home.

Option 2: Model Home Open House

Our open houses strike the perfect balance between independence and guidance.

You’ll have the chance to meet an EGS team member and ask a few questions while having the flexibility to explore the home at your own pace.

During open houses, you’ll likely see other buyers who are also considering EGS. While our sales specialist is on hand to chat, they may be managing multiple visitors. So the interaction may be more casual.

Like the self-guided tours, open houses also give you a chance to check out the neighborhood. Take a walk through the streets, check out the community amenities, and see if the location works well for your lifestyle.

To attend an open house: Visit our website for details on each community open house schedule and model home hours.

Option 3: Private Sales Appointment

If you’re ready for a more informative EGS experience, a private sales appointment is your best option.

This is our most consultative offering – a scheduled, one-on-one meeting with the sales specialist who knows your desired neighborhood inside and out!

At your sales appointment, we’ll dig into the details that matter most to you.

Want to compare floor plans in detail? Review homesite availability and pricing? Discuss budget and financing options? We can have these conversations, and more.

A sales appointment can happen in person at one of our model homes, or virtually if that’s preferred. Either way, you’ll have the sales specialist’s exclusive attention for the entire appointment.

To schedule a sales appointment: Call Leslie Rhinier at 717-537-6968 or schedule through any neighborhood page on our website.

Ready to Get Started?

There’s no wrong way to explore our homes and communities! The right approach is the one that helps you feel confident and informed as you make one of life’s biggest decisions.

Many of our buyers actually use multiple options – starting with a self-tour, stopping by an open house to ask initial questions, and then scheduling a sales appointment when they want to learn more.

Pick the option that’s best for you and take the next step toward finding your new EGS home!
