In a program designed to increase the opportunity for more consumers to achieve the American dream of home ownership, Brayson Homes has initiated a program which offers a buyer incentive worth $15,000 to purchasers of its “build to order” homes in the Greenville, S. C., and Metro Atlanta markets.

The promotion, which opened on Friday, Aug. 22, 2008, and ends on Friday, Oct. 31, 2008, can be used toward upgrading designer features or toward closing costs on “build to order” homes from the company. The offer applies to all purchasers of Brayson’s “build to order” homes with the stipulation that buyers must contract and close through BH Financial.
