The firm points to its streamlined management process and its vertically integrated operation as drivers behind its ability to price high quality units at below market rates. According to Khakshouri, by running his own construction crews, buying quality materials such as marble and cabinetry by the container, and negotiating rates with home warranty A Home warranty is an insurance contract that covers the repair and replacement costs of home appliances. The warranty generally covers equipment and appliances such as dishwashers, plumbing systems, electrical systems etc.  companies, title insurance and escrow fees, the firm is able to pass the savings along to the buyer.

In addition, the firm provides borrowers with access to a variety of state-run loan programs. If the buyer qualifies, these programs can provide financing that serves as a silent second mortgage, thus offering additional financing. While the state may share in a percentage of the equity of the home, these plans may defer repayment until the house is sold or refinanced. Until then, the buyer pays no interest on this portion. And when the buyer sells the property, he shares a percentage of the home's appreciation with the state.
