Value Added Program


Our unique programs and services have been designed to give you exceptional customer service both before and after you move into your new home. We conduct extensive market research, hold numerous listening groups and administer follow up surveys with our customers, all of which allows us to further develop and refine our programs and services.

We are always looking for new ways to make your home building experience easier so if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email us and let us know. We look forward to hearing from you. 

Shane Homes Welcomes Realtors!

To find out how the program works, take these simple steps:

Introduce and Register your Client

On your initial visit to the showhome you must introduce and register your client in person with a Shane Homes Area Manager. The client must be a customer we have not had contact with ourselves within the past 60 days.

Registration Agreement

The Realtor - Client Registration agreement must be completed in its entirety with your signature and the date.

We Pay Commission Up Front! 

Commission amounts must be negotiated with the community Area Manager and the terms of cooperation confirmed prior to an 'offer to purchase'. Commission will be given to the realtor as soon as the deal goes firm! 

The Shane Homes Area Manager will complete and process the purchase agreement and all necessary contracts. The customer will receive copies of all documentation.

All contracts must be executed within sixty (60) days of prospect/agent registration.

At Shane Homes, we understand that your new home is one of the most important purchases you will ever make and that choosing the right builder can be a difficult decision.  Since 1979, we've been committed to building strong relationships between our customers, team, and partners.

To show our appreciation, we would like to give you $1979 every time your family or friend purchases a Shane Home.

Master Builder Craftsmanship
 
Shane Homes has the certification mark of Master Home Builder. The Master Home Builder designation provides the confidence that your new home will be built with true professionalism.

The safety of you and your family as well as our trades and staff is very important to us. The ultimate goal is to have everyone go home at the end of the day safe and well. That is why we have implemented many safety policies and procedures that ensure the jobsite is a safe work environment for our trades and a safe place for you to visit your new home while it’s under construction.

Safety Care Kit

As a Shane Homes customer you will also receive a safety care kit for your new home. This kit contains a fire extinguisher and first aid kit providing the many items necessary in case of an accident or emergency.

Full Time Safety Supervisor

We have a full-time safety supervisor on staff to help ensure your safety and the safety of the trades-people working on your new home. We also have our C.O.R. (Certificate of Recognition) in safety which is issued to employers who develop and implement health and safety programs that meet established standards.

Construction Safety Training Program

Our field staff have first aid training, carry first aid kits in their vehicles and have completed the Construction Safety Training System Program. Our trades are also supplied with a jobsite safety video, created by Shane Homes, outlining safe work practices. We have set the above procedures in place to help ensure the safety of our customers, trades and everyone around them.

Personal Protective Equipment

Each of our showhomes is stocked with personal protective equipment and hard hats. As an added safety precaution our customers are required to sign into the showhome to receive and use this equipment before visiting their home under construction.

The Shane Homes List For Free Program offers buyers of a new Shane Home savings by reducing the commissions on the sale of their existing home.

The average commission structure to sell a home is 7% on the first $100,000, 3% on the remaining balance of the sale of the existing home, plus GST on the commission. The total commission owed by the seller to the realtor(s) is 50% to the Buying Representative and 50% to the Listing Representative.

As part of the List for Free Program, Shane Homes will pay the Listing Representative the portion owed to them by the seller. This equates to savings of up to 50% on the commission!
