It was a long process with the lender and a lot of paperworks besides that I like everything from the contract to moving-in. I do not have anything to dislike.

The process with the lending group, first choice lending, was very tedious. As a self employed employee, they asked for many things that self employed do not get and made the process a bit difficult. Overall was not satisfied with that but in the end we made everything work and we are happy now. Other than that, the house and community itself are great and am satisfied with our purchase.

I would never use the Lending company again. My experience with LEGEND has been fantastic, but the I experience with First Choice --specifically [name removed] was TERRIBLE.

There was a mix up of time during closing. Overall I had a good experience and efficiency of the builder and realtor.

The work is very sloppy and poorly done. I keep finding things that need to be redone. The warranty department is extremely slow and doesn’t get back to you for weeks. It took 3 1/2 weeks to get my Ethernet cords replaced that were not functioning correctly. And again the work on these homes are poorly done I have found paint all over my floors. Caulking is missing around toilets and there is holes in my carpet. No one seems to care and it’s very frustrating. I have told all my family and friends to not buy from legends the quality of work is terrible.

Seeing the step by step building process was enjoyable. However the communications from the onsite sales team was horrible. The miscommunications from [name removed] cost us thousands of dollars. The house features and ground elevation was not communicated. We weren't given a proper 45day closing date. The punch list was not complete by closing date. We had no idea the AC unit was broke until we arrived onsite to get our keys. We could not move in until a week after closing. Costing us more money to reschedule movers and paying for living arrangements. With nothing done by upper management. Definitely a rush job from the builders. Very disappointed and discouraging for a first time builder. The overall process was awful, not sure I would recommend anyone to this development.

Some of the materials used were low grade. The painters and flooring installers left white caulking and paint dots on the floor that required me to get on hands and knees and scrub off. I have had to have 3 items done through warranty after closing.

The purchase process was ok, however the house has a design issue in the kitchen and the builder said they would fix it but nothing has happened. Also, I had a water leak in the garage because someone forgot to do plumbing work for the HVAC, so we had to put in a warranty ticket. There are also a few construction mistakes that we discovered when installing shelving units in the house. I was expecting the house to be in perfect condition when I moved in.

Disliked the fact that I was told that things would be completed by the time I moved in but weren’t. Still waiting….

The communication was great the entire time. The only issue that wasn’t communicated was the new construction postal problems, nothing the builder could have done, but it would’ve been nice to know that mail wasn’t coming to our home yet.
