FLAHERTY BUILDERS TO BUILD HIGH-END HOMES IN ORLAND PARK’S DEER HAVEN ESTATES COMMUNITY

ORLAND PARK, IL, May 24, 2008 - The Village of Orland Park is home for a new, premier custom home community named Deer Haven Estates, which will offer 1/3 to ½+ acre homesites with lookouts, walkouts and water or tree conservation views. Exclusive custom homes by Flaherty Builders will be priced starting at $1 million and be filled with luxury amenities like, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood or imported flooring and full brick exteriors.

Deer Haven Estates is located on the south side of 143rd Street, west of LaGrange Road and east of Wolf Road. Flaherty Builders offers homebuyers the opportunity to select a home from its extensive library of blueprints and then modify them to meet their lifestyle. If homebuyers desire, Flaherty is prepared to design a luxury home from a blank sheet of drafting paper as well.

Homebuyers seeking a one-of-a-kind luxury home will be pleased with Flaherty’s attention to detail and its ability to construct custom homes finished with hand-crafted cabinetry, 9- to 12-foot first floor ceilings, solid core interior doors, fireplaces with various surrounds, stamped colored concrete or brick paver driveways, central vacuum systems, intercoms, fully landscaped lots with in-ground sprinkler systems and deluxe covered porches with hot tubs and more. Offering full basements, three to five bedrooms, 2.5 to 4.5 baths, formal dining rooms, soaring entry foyers, great rooms or family rooms with vaulted ceilings and elegant master bedroom suites, Flaherty homes will start at approximately a $1 million and go up from there.

The community's extensive selection of two-story and ranch plans will typically feature central air conditioning, oversized three-car garage with garaged door openers, natural stone counter tops, volume ceilings, recessed lighting, hardwood flooring, oversized-whirlpool tub in master bath, plus additional high-end amenities. Flaherty Builders is eager to make alterations or design a home from scratch because our staff has more than 35 years of experience in the residential homebuilding industry.

To encourage families to purchase homes in Deer Haven Estates, Flaherty is offering a new sales program. The “Building Peace of Mind” program is designed for maximum flexibility, so that it can accommodate a variety of potential homebuyers. Homebuyers may choose from any of the five options offered:

1.“Existing Home Sale Plan” – If a buyer’s existing home doesn’t sell by the time they need to close on their new Flaherty home, the builder will cover the buyer’s existing mortgage and real estate taxes for up to 6 months for a maximum of $3,500 per month. Given that is takes 6-8 months to construct their new home, this option effectively gives homebuyers more than one year (12 to 14 months) to sell their home.

2.“Split The Difference Plan” – Flaherty will cover ½ the difference between the asking price and sale price of a homebuyer’s existing home up to a maximum of $20,000. The home must be listed with a preferred realtor and the asking price must be realistic in today’s market (verified by a preferred realtor or appraisal).

3.“Realtor Commission Covered” - Flaherty will cover the homebuyer’s realtor commission on the sale of their existing home for up to $20,000. To qualify the home must be listed with a licensed realtor of their choice.

4.“Get What You Want Plan” – Homebuyers can request up to $25,000 worth of options/upgrades and Flaherty will pick up the tab.

5.“More For Less Plan” – Flaherty will subtract $20,000 off the base price of any new home in any of its eight communities (individual lot sales excluded).

“We wanted our Deer Haven Estates customers to be able to pick the option that gives them the most

benefit and reduces the anxiety they might be feeling about buying a new home”, said Flaherty. “We also believe this program will help existing home sales by creating some interest in the resale market.”

Although Flaherty offers beautiful, well-crafted single-family homes, of equal importance are the village in which Deer Haven Estates Pointe sits and the schools that educate its children.

Orland Park is a town of approximately 55,000 residents and in 2006 it was awarded the title of "45th Best Place to Live In America" by Money magazine. Orland Park is home to a large amount of commercial and retail development, among these developments is Orland Square Mall, and the recently rebuilt Orland Park Place. The major north-south transportation route is La Grange Road (Route 45), with the Tri-State (I-294) and Veterans Memorial (I-355) Tollways close at hand. Five Minutes to the south is I-80. Commuters can board trains in Orland Park for a 35-minute trip to the Loop. Drive times to Midway and O’Hare airports are 35 and 50 minutes respectively.

For relaxation the Orland Park District offers an aquatic center, parks, baseball fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, soccer fields, basketball courts, fishing ponds picnic areas and ice-skating rinks. The community, known as the golf center of the world, boasts 71 holes of golf within 15 miles.

Of course education is a top concern for Deer Haven Estates homebuyers, and they will not be disappointed. Children will attend Orland Park Elementary School District 135 and teenagers will attend award-winning Carl Sandburg High School District 230.
