Lakeshore HBA Parade of Homes BUILDER REGISTRATION

Ready to have your homes showcased in this season’s Parade of Homes? Review the information below!

Click Here to Enter a Home

…You will then be prompted to create a one-time login profile.  This will help you edit your own company profile that Parade guests will see. As you proceed with entering, your information will auto-save, so you may return later to complete. You will receive a notification checklist on what information is still needed every time you log in. Once all information is entered, you will be prompted to submit the entry.

PHOTOS OF THE HOME:
Note: All entries include 15 professional photos with rights, listing in the official Guidebook ($1,975+ value) and advertising/promotion + exposure!

YOUR HOME DOES NOT NEED TO BE COMPLETE TO BE SUBMITTED. YOU WILL SUBMIT HOME DETAILS AND A RENDERING OF THE HOME ONLY. * Builders will need to provide a high-resolution rendering of the home that will be the main photo of the home on the entry page in the Official Parade of Homes Guide Book. You may use whoever you wish to complete this rendering. If you do not have a rendering artist, we recommend Lakeshore HBA member, Steve Nyhof Designs.
If you do not have the rendering ready you may submit your entry along with the deposit and return later to complete, but the rendering is due by April 5. The home rendering will be the only image of the home in the Guide Book (exception for remodel entry before/after photos). However, professional images taken by the HBA assigned photographer will be displayed on the HBA website. These photos are taken closer to event date.

After selecting optional add-ons, a total will be shown in your cart for reference, but payments must be submitted directly to the HBA via check or via email using the hard copy payment page. The entry payment form must be submitted via email to admin@lakeshorehomebuilders.com or in-person to the HBA.

If you would like to set up a time to complete with an HBA staff member in-person or over the phone, please contact us prior to the deadlines.

The Parade Committee is excited to be able to allow homeowners an opportunity to visit homes that are near completion. Ticket holders will be aware of which homes are "under construction" or "In-Progress". It is assumed, that the guests through these homes would be quality prospects, as they're clearly interested in not only the finished product, but the building process.
  * Homes will be far enough along that they're not a safety hazard (a few weeks shy of completion). Entry includes follow up promotion of completed home.
