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:...read more

  • 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...read less

My salesperson and my builder changed in the middle of things so that made it kind of confusing at first but the people who replaced them were fantastic.

Dislike: -The contract creation was a nightmare as simple mistakes needed to have the entire contract rewritten. Grand Homes not integrating modern software such as DOCUSIGN or equivalent required our contract to be rewritten almost 6 times to even get right. Then entire process was archaic. The design center personnel were great and tried to help as much as possible but having a program that renders a 3d model of the home and be able to appply colors and see the design choices online would help emmensely in customer satisfaction for local and for out of state buyers. The corporate side really needs to invest in proper trainign of their personnel and ensure that they are equipped for all events that may unfold. Likes: the ground staff were amazing. from the agent to the builder they are some of the best and most dedicated people ive every met.

Things we like are the staircase, floating Game room, and high Ceilings. Experience with [name removed] from warranty was good. She helped to fix the fireplace and also helped to remove a big piece of wood from Bathroom #4. Grand Home was able to help with some of the closing costs for interest buy-down. Things we don't like are as below: (1)Our Experience with the Sales Team: We were never given any options that we wanted to add after sending [name removed]. We were promised by ([name removed]-Sales Person) that we could add options later but when we tried to add them we were never allowed. We tried to talk to Manager [name removed] and she was not of too much help on this matter of adding options from the beginning. Also, we found out about the options by looking at some other models in the neighborhood, and those options/information were never provided to us. The only option we were allowed was to make a study room which also was sneaked in due to Grand Home not being able to build a covered Patio. We wanted to change Lot after a couple of days of sending [name removed] and we were told that it is only possible after making a payment of $10,000. At this time we were allowed to add Pantry expansion. (2) Bedrooms felt to be smaller in size, especially for houses this big. They could have been a little bigger. (3) The Main Entrance Door could have been bigger. We had to return a bigger size refrigerator since it didn't pass through the door. (4) The backyard is very sloppy compared to neighbor homes. No actions were taken even after bringing that up. We would not have paid $10,000 extra to get this lot if we knew it would be very sloppy on the back. Kids can't enjoy the backyard (5) We were also not given options to extend the Fence for more privacy on the sides. (6) The quality of materials could have been better (7) The Design Center should have more options to choose from. Move In Day Chaos: Due to Closing Date changes, we had to deal with lots of things like Tenants and the delivery of Furniture and Appliances. Also, Kids were not able to go to school for about a week. Also due to the Title Company change at the last moment, all the paperwork was not done properly and as a result, we along with the moving company had to wait for 5 hours outside the house. We were able to get our keys after 5 hours of waiting outside the new built house

The construction of my house was very quick, and the builder, [name removed], was consistently helpful, providing updates throughout the process. However, I faced challenges with my agent, who did not provide sufficient information before I signed the contract. This resulted in a $10,000 penalty for making changes, as I received incorrect information from the agent. My experience with the studio model was rushed, limiting my ability to include additional features I desired. Unfortunately, it was too late to make any changes. Despite the overall positive aspects of the construction, these issues with the agent and studio experience were significant drawbacks.

I want to start by thanking [name removed] and [name removed](Sales representatives) as they were very helpful and supportive starting from deciding the lot, understanding our needs for the floor plan, and suggesting changes, going over the contract and its details, and weekly progress update videos. Then I want to thank [name removed], since she took over as builder for our home our path was very smooth till the closing date as she was quick to respond to any query we had and she always listened to our problem and tried to provide the fix as soon as she could. We feel that our design center appointment could have been better as looking back we think that we would have made some changes if it had been explained properly at the time of the appointment. Our closing experience was not great as closing was delayed, the title company got changed 2 days before closing, and not all the documents were sent correctly to the new title company so we had to wait an entire day at the title company office for the corrections.

I don't like there's only one option of payment method, which gives me trouble to delay the closing day. It's 2023, there should be more flexible way of accepting payment method, especially for a cash buyer like me, why cashier check is not acceptable? I still don't have the answer.
