Purchase Experience Testimonials from Real Homebuyers

Colorado Springs, CO, on May 24, 2022

Our experience overall was outstanding. Your staff has been amazing from Josh Woolery our salesman, to Kimberly keeping us updated weekly as we were in Florida during the build, to Trent and Chris our construction managers who also kept us well informed about delays and issues. Just a few things that we didn’t like were #1 our realtor who we love only received a 2% commission and only on the base price which we didn’t think was fair to her and her team, 2 we paid for a gas line that we were led to believe would work for a fire pit in the backyard which it is not big enough to do so. I wish that was communicated better, 3 our tile work in the showers isn’t the best but hopefully that will be fixed via our warranty appointment, 4 we have been having GFI outlets popping in our storage room. Jack promptly got the electricians out, but we are still having some issues. Like I said overall we are extremely happy with the overall product and services. Just looking for to everything working properly and looking amazing. Thank you, Erica and Daryl Page

The warranty service/customer care experience has been very positive/responsive in person. There has, though, been numerous e-communications that have been redundant and disorganized.

Warranty (and repairs listed on closing) repairs were done shoddily. Apparently Classic Homes is ok with caulk repairs and spackle to fix wood damage. I finally got our fridge, and it doesn't fit. I had to push back with the cabinet folks to get the repairs done properly. The more and more time goes on, the more and more it's apparent that Classic does the least it can to resolve these issues. Often meaning they are not doing it right. Beautiful home, I'm concerned about the quality of what I cannot see because of what I've seen since we closed.

There were many mistakes made along the way, some were corrected, some were not correctable. Most of them could have been avoided with a little more attention to detail. We are mostly happy with how are home turned out though and the people we worked with through the whole process were very nice.

We loved the weekly phone call update. The warranty process is very slow moving.

I liked the quality of the construction. The house is well built. The floors do not make a sound. Love it!

We were knowledgeable of the fact that we purchased a spec home. However, the fact that fact that we contracted a matter of days from submitting for permit, we would have happily taken the opportunity to make limited, specific, non-structural changes to the build. The sales staff, Lisa and June were great to work with as they made consistent contact with us. Living out of state as most of the construction in. progress, they provided regular updates through pictures and video to help us feel a part of the process. Curtis was a fantastic superintendent to work with. He was excellent in his communication and I was impressed at the amount of respect all the trades I had contact with had for him. This is our fifth new home purchase and this experience is the best we have had with quality, sales staff and construction interaction.

It’s not easy to find a contact for them.

Likes: Quality of Product –I am impressed with Classic's standard of quality in materials and finished product. Above and beyond! –I really enjoyed the design phase (Ashley Warnoff was amazing to work with) –I'm thankful for Classic's decision to swallow rising lumber costs and not pass that on to the homebuyer. –I am also thankful that Classic allows homebuyers to lock in a housing price in a rising market. Dislikes: Lack of Support/Communication –I completely understand that covid ramifications and supply chain backorders made things really difficult for Classic, but overall I was disappointed in Classic's support for the homebuyer during the evolving situation. I felt very little support from Classic as I was trying to plan furniture drops, interest rates, a closing date, loan paperwork, career move, etc. And I wasn't even in a precarious housing situation. (I can't imagine trying to navigate the extending timeline of a new build while selling my current house!) I am not angry. I just think the situation could have been handled/communicated better as changes emerged. –I was not informed until later that my GC was replaced. I think I cycled through 3 GCs? Kyle, Justin, Seth? Maybe there were more? I don't even know if that is typical or not. –I was under the impression I would be given a weekly update on the house, but there were several weeks that went by with no communication. Not a big deal. Just unmet expectations in my mind that reflected poorly on Classic.

One step that I believe is unnecessary is the multiple final walk throughs. In my frame of thinking, the final walk should be a Classic Rep and the new buyer walking through and admiring the marvelous craftsmanship, and educating on the home features with the possibility of locating a handful of minor defects. Not walking through with colored tape and marking dozens upon dozens of defects and then doing it again and again albeit locating less issues each time.

Few things not completed. And no clue on when they will be done. No follow up.

Classic made the process easy and stepped us through it. It was just a very long process due to the current supply chain and labor market issues. Classic kept us informed about what was going on the entire time and help with expectations about how long the process would take.

Disappointed that we met your deadlines to make selections. Were told needed to do this so you could order our selections. But you waited 6 mos to order things like kitchen cabinets and it caught you and us in the supply chain issues.

Homebuilder Customer Reviews

No one knows more about a homebuilder's quality and service than the builder's customers.

Since 1984, Eliant has been independently evaluating the performance of homebuilders across the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East:

  • We ask recent homebuyers to evaluate their builder's purchase process.
  • Then, we ask homeowners to evaluate their builder's quality and service (1) after the first 5-months in the home, and (2) again at the end of the first year.

In "Homebuilder Customer Reviews", we present the ratings and comments collected from new-home buyers at these three points in time.

Eliant verifies that only evaluations completed by actual customers are included in this "Homebuilder Customer Reviews" site. No other evaluations - whether collected by the builder or those appearing on other public sites - are included here. All customer comments are included verbatim, no editing is permitted.
