    I was just walking my dogs on Claiborne Parkway and saw a new sign above a Van Metre new home sign offering an opportunity to win a new home......no purchase necessary. Seems they are really hurting for foot traffic in the new town homes they are building. WOW!

    Re: Win a New Home!!!!!!!!

    :) If I didn't already live here, I know I'd like to win a new home here.

    Despite all the complaining, etc. on these message boards, I'd rather live here than anywhere else. I love the unique and plentiful amenities that this community offers and I like that the residents have a collective social conscience which appeals to the greater good of wanting to continually see things improved. I have seen the residents be respectful, caring and concerned for one another on a daily basis, despite their differences in opinion. I know this community has the ability to rise to any challenge to find the solutions it needs in order to continually improve itself. It's the complete package of a great neighborhood.

    Re: Win a New Home!!!!!!!!

    Now I feel like holding hands by a camp fire...ahhh, I just needed a moment to wipe the tear from my eye. Seriously, I would agree that Broadlands is a very unique community...guess that's why some former residents keep posting in the forum, they must miss the community:D

    Re: Win a New Home!!!!!!!!

    :) lol, yes, but you know I'm correct. This community has great character, doesn't it? That's not to say that our neighboring communities don't have any less character - because we also have a good group of folks from other communities who post on this board, and hey, they, too, are welcome to be a part of this online community.

    Well, in whatever community I live, I will fight hard for it.
    Okay, I've been snapped out the sappiness now. Now, back to work.

    Hate to say it, but I think I saw an ad for this "win a free home" in the newspaper a few weeks ago. The funny thing was that it is a Broadlands ad, but the prize is a townhome in Stone Ridge. Did anyone else see this?

    Prize: One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded for the Sweepstakes. One (1) Grand Prize Winner shall
    receive the Grand Prize consisting of:
    A new Van Metre condominium located in a Van Metre community and valued at $415,000 (the
    “Condominium”), or a $415,000 credit toward the purchase of either a Van Metre single family
    home or a Marquis Custom Homes single family home located in a Van Metre community (the
    “Home Credit”).
    The Grand Prize Winner shall have five (5) business days from the date of the Grand Prize Drawing to
    elect the Grand Prize of either the Condominium or the Home Credit. The election is final. The
    Condominium value is approximate. Actual value depends on market fluctuations. All decisions
    related to the Grand Prize, whether the Grand Prize chosen is the Condominium or the Home Credit,
    including in which Van Metre community the Condominium shall be located, shall be at the Sponsor’s
    sole discretion. The Grand Prize Winner will be required to enter into and execute the standard Van
    Metre Homes Sales Agreement (without any financing, sale of current home, or other contingencies in
    favor of the Grand Prize Winner as buyer thereunder) (the “Sales Agreement”) on or before March 30,
    2007, to effect the transfer of the Condominium or the purchase of the Van Metre single family home
    or Marquis Custom Homes single family home in a Van Metre community (the “Home”) to which the
    Grand Prize Winner wishes to apply the Home Credit, as applicable. In the event the Grand Prize
    Winner defaults under the Sales Agreement (and such default continues beyond any applicable notice
    and cure period), and the applicable seller under the Sales Agreement terminates the Sales
    Agreement, the Grand Prize will be forfeited. In the event that the Grand Prize Winner fails to settle
    on the transfer of the Condominium on or before April 30, 2007, or use the Home Credit towards the
    purchase of the Home on or before September 28, 2007, as applicable, the Grand Prize will be
    forfeited.
    All taxes, costs and fees relating to and associated with the award of the Grand Prize shall be the sole
    responsibility of the Grand Prize Winner, including, but not limited to, any federal, state and local
    taxes on the Grand Prize, any real estate transfer taxes, deed recording charges, and closing costs in
    connection with the transfer of the Condominium or the purchase of the Home, as applicable, all
    future real estate taxes and other maintenance expenses related thereto, any applicable insurance
    costs, homeowners association fees, and all other costs, taxes, fees and expenses associated with the
    Grand Prize. The Grand Prize Winner will be issued a 1099 tax form for the approximate retail value
    of the Grand Prize.
    The Grand Prize Winner shall have five (5) business days from the date of the Grand Prize Drawing to
    complete, sign, and return to Sponsor an Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and Publicity
    3
    Release. If the Affidavit of Eligibility, Release of Liability and Publicity Release is not returned to the
    Sponsor within five (5) business days of the Grand Prize Drawing, the Grand Prize Winner will forfeit
    the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize Winner will be required to consent in writing to a background check
    in order for Sponsor to verify eligibility under the Official Rules. If the Grand Prize Winner refuses
    consent to a background check, or is found to be ineligible, the Grand Prize Winner will forfeit the
    Grand Prize.
    If the Grand Prize Winner is found to be ineligible or forfeits the Grand Prize after the awarding
    thereof at the Grand Prize Drawing, the Grand Prize will not be awarded to another Finalist (as
    hereafter defined).
    Odds of Winning: Odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received at the Van
    Metre Homes Sales Offices, Marquis Custom Homes Sales Offices, and Van Metre Design Center during
    the Promotion Period.
    Selection of Winner:
    Finalists
    To be eligible for the Grand Prize, participant entries will be randomly selected each month from
    among all eligible entries received in the Sweepstakes during the preceding calendar month (as set
    forth on the schedule below) (“Monthly Drawing”). Five (5) entries will be randomly selected in each
    Monthly Drawing and, unless, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, any such entry is found ineligible
    under the Official Rules, said entrants shall become “Finalists” eligible for the Grand Prize Drawing.
    All non-winning entries from a Monthly Drawing will be discarded. Eligible Finalists will then be
    entered automatically in the Grand Prize Drawing to be held on January 20, 2007. The names of the
    Finalists will be posted at Van Metre Homes Sales Offices and Marquis Custom Homes Sales Offices
    within five (5) business days of each Monthly Drawing. All Finalists will be sent a letter by certified
    mail within five (5) business days of each Monthly Drawing advising them that they are a Finalist in the
    Grand Prize Drawing. Once an entering household has been selected as a Finalist, such household is no
    longer eligible to enter the Sweepstakes during subsequent months.
    Grand Prize
    Finalists must be present at the Grand Prize Drawing to be eligible to win the Grand Prize. One (1)
    Grand Prize winner will be randomly selected from among all eligible Finalists. The Finalist chosen for
    the Grand Prize will be notified immediately, in person, upon winning. The Grand Prize Drawing will
    be held on January 20, 2007, at an exact time and location to be announced, such location to be
    within 25 miles of Ashburn, Virginia. Finalists will be advised at least one week in advance of the
    Grand Prize Drawing, by certified mail, and, if possible, by email and telephone of the time and
    location of the Grand Prize Drawing. If a Finalist selected for the Grand Prize is not present at the
    Grand Prize Drawing, an alternate Grand Prize Winner will be selected at random from the remaining
    eligible Finalists who are present, and the initially-selected Grand Prize Winner shall be deemed to
    forfeit the Prize. The Sponsor will continue such process until a Grand Prize Winner is selected. The
    Sponsor is not responsible for and shall not be liable for unsuccessful efforts to notify a Finalist of his
    or her standing as a Finalist and/or the location of the Grand Prize Drawing.

    by the Official Rules, and all interpretations of the Official Rules and decisions of the Sponsor shall be
    final in all matters relating to the Sweepstakes. The Official Rules cannot be amended or modified by
    any representation, written or oral, made by any representative or purported representative of the

    disqualification from the Sweepstakes and forfeiture of the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize is nontransferable
    and non-redeemable for cash. All components of the Grand Prize are subject to
    availability. The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to substitute a prize of comparable

    including, but not limited to, fraud, virus or other technical or administrative problem, the Sponsor
    may, in its sole discretion, either: (a)suspend the Sweepstakes to address the impairment, and then
    resume the Sweepstakes in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of the Official Rules; or (b)
    award the Grand Prize in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received up to the time of
    the impairment. The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it
    finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in
    violation of the Official Rules or any other promotion by a Van Metre company (or an affiliate or
    subsidiary thereof), or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to
    undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law,
    and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such
    person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sponsor's failure to enforce any provision of the
    Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

    permission for the Sponsor and any Van Metre company to use the Grand Prize Winner’s name, address

    These people already have a 1 in 30 chance of winning the $415,000 home credit. From the rules, it looks like they can use their "home credit" anywhere that VM builds.
