We are enclosing for your consideration (i) a prospectus dated                     , 2010 (the “Prospectus”) of Meritage Homes Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), (ii) a related Letter of Transmittal (which together with the Prospectus constitutes the “Exchange Offer”) relating to the offer by the Company to exchange up to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.15% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Exchange Notes”) that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for up to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding unregistered 7.15% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Outstanding Notes”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer, and (iii) an Instruction to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner. As set forth in the Prospectus, the terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the Outstanding Notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions relating to the Outstanding Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal more fully describe the Exchange Offer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Letter of Transmittal.

This material is being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner of the Outstanding Notes carried by us in your account, but not registered in your name. A tender of such Outstanding Notes can be made only by us as the registered holder for your account and pursuant to your instructions. The enclosed Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used to tender Outstanding Notes.

Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish us to tender on your behalf the Outstanding Notes held by us for your account, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the enclosed Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal.

Your attention is directed to the following:

  2. The Exchange Offer is for any and all Outstanding Notes.

  5. Any transfer taxes incident to the transfer of Outstanding Notes from the holder to the Company will be paid by the Company, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 7 of the Letter of Transmittal.

 

  6. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2010, unless extended by the Company. If you desire to exchange your Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, your instructions should be forwarded to us as promptly as possible in order to permit us to tender the Outstanding Notes on your behalf at or before the Expiration Time in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Offer. Any Outstanding Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time at or before the Expiration Time.

if such a holder is a broker-dealer, such broker-dealer will receive the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Outstanding Notes and that:

 

   

such Outstanding Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities; and

 

   

it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of Exchange Notes, and will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act with respect to resale of any Exchange Notes.

The enclosed “Instructions to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner” form contains an authorization by you, as the beneficial owner of Outstanding Notes, for us to make, among other things, the foregoing representations on your behalf.

We urge you to read the enclosed Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal in conjunction with the Exchange Offer carefully before providing instructions regarding your Outstanding Notes. If you wish to tender any or all of the Outstanding Notes held by us for your account, please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching, and returning to us the instruction form attached hereto.
