  • Pets are not permitted while touring a Parade home. Service animals are welcome.

What should I expect when I arrive?

  • Upon arrival, you may be asked to sign in or provide your contact information. You can then browse the home, ask questions, and enjoy all the home’s features. 
  • Although not required, you may want to meet with a sales rep to ask about home prices, features, and availability.

May I take photos and videos when touring a Parade home?

  • For certain homes, it’s best to ask the host for permission before taking photos. Some builders may have restrictions, while most encourage photos and videos. Feel free to use #ParadeofHomesOrlando on social media @ParadeOfHomesOrlando on all platforms.
