Builder Information and Certifications
VA Loan Guaranty Program

This is to certify that this company:

Will not use any marketing practices or sales contracts which include features considered by VA to be unfair or prejudicial to veteran-purchasers per Section 9.08 of the VA Lenders Handbook. I understand that the closing of the loan denotes that the builder has determined that the contract is acceptable to VA.

Will construct every property which is to become the security for a VA-guaranteed loan to substantially conform to applicable building codes, applicable VA requirements and the standards of quality as measured by acceptable trade practices.

In cases processed by VA as "proposed or under construction", the builder must also certify that they understand that in any conflict between construction exhibits and applicable VA requirements, the latter will govern; and that VA will consider changes to those exhibits to be binding only when they are listed on a properly executed VA Form 26-1844, Request for Acceptance of Changes in Approved Drawings and Specifications; and that they will be proceeding at their own risk in changing or deviating from those exhibits without advance VA approval.

A fully executed VA Form 26-421, Equal Employment Opportunity Certification, and VA Form 26-8791, VA Affirmative Marketing Certification, is either attached or was previously submitted to VA. (Please reference the VA Builder Approval I.D. Number).

Names of all persons who have a controlling or proprietary interest in this company or are principal shareholders, officers or directors. This company agrees to keep this list updated with VA:
