Lennar homebuyer, Marvin Aviador, recently enrolled in the Peace of Mind program when purchasing his four-bedroom single-family home in Lennar’s Centre Pointe community in Concord.

“I considered all the benefits and advantages of buying a home now and it just seemed like the perfect buyer’s market,” Aviador said. “It was my first time buying a home and it was just the comfort of being secure. It’s called the Peace of Mind program and it gives me peace of mind.”
