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

We liked the expertise and level of detail that went into (a) helping us select the lot that met our needs best ([name removed]), helping us select features for our home ([name removed] and [name removed]), communication and updates provided throughout the build process ([name removed]), and communication and convenience in closing ([name removed] and her team). We loved the friendly team members in the sales center always making us feel welcomed. Overall, a great experience!!!

Everything was excellent from the contract point though to move-in. Any questions that we had about the contract were answered quickly and clearly and we were kept fully informed of progress throughout the construction process by our builder. We especially liked the fact that we received pictures along with the commentary with the weekly construction updates. We also liked the "meet your builder" session where we were provided with descriptions of the key features of the construction, and the fact that we met with our builder again to go through the house prior to it's completion. In that session, we were able to see the quality of construction and get answers to any questions that we had.

Didn’t like the amount of deposits and number of deposits, limited selections (for example gold fixtures and hardware that would MATCH), once we signed a contract, we were rushed through the selection process, rushed to close, dead plants at move in, and cashmere paint. What we did like - our builder and sales rep - they were fabulous!!

The entire process; contract through closing was much easier than I expected. The sales team, design team and our building supervisors all seemed to go the extra mile to make sure we got exactly what we wanted in our new home.

There was very little pressure. We’ve been considering this move for about 4 years. We would stop into the sales center every time we visited PCB knowing that we would eventually make the decision. The sales people we met, and all the residents, had such confidence in the product and the lifestyle that there was never any pressure to make a sale. The prevailing attitude seemed to be, “Look around, get all the information you can, you’ll know when the time is right for you.” That’s exactly what happened!

My experience from start to finish was exceptional! The front sales office team was friendly and knowledgeable! [name removed] was my sales representative and he always greeted me with a smile and willing to take the time to help in anyway he could! [name removed] at the design center took her time and was very patient as I made my decisions! She asked me all the right questions to help make my vision possible! I can’t say enough about my builder [name removed]! From the initial phone call when he introduced himself I knew we would work well together! His attention to detail is amazing! [name removed] is no nonsense and straight forward! He clearly is proud of his work and wants his clients to be happy! He sent pics every Friday and kept me closely informed! He returns calls promptly and has followed up with me several times since closing! He works for you and 100% wants you to be happy! [name removed] at Mastercare was great! He knows his stuff and has expressed for me to reach out to him with any concern no matter how small you think it may be! [name removed] was my loan and closing officer! She is so pleasant, personable and I loved dealing with her! All in all my team and the folks in my corner made building a home in [name removed] fun and stress free! I can’t say enough

We were most impressed that each home buyer had a dedicated contractor/supervisor to keep us informed of progress. Everyone from beginning to end was very upbeat and had a positive vibe making a fun experience.

The extra fees that were applied to at closing was a big dislike.

Purchasing a home with Minto Communities at [name removed] [name removed] [name removed] was a great experience. . The ultimate reward is an exceptionally built home in a great community which was accomplished. The sales team does a great job at selling the [name removed] Lifestyle and our sales person, [name removed] was great. Prices are very transparent and features are clearly understood upfront. Design center is in need of a major up date but very organized in what they do. Our builder, [name removed], was top notch, honest and kept us up to date. We are absolutely thrilled with our new home in [name removed] [name removed] build by [name removed] and would highly recommend [name removed] and the [name removed] [name removed] community to anyone looking at this lifestyle.

We had a highly disappointing experience building with Minto, marked by deceptive lending practices, cheap materials, and poor communication. Before signing, we asked specific questions about the contract addendum and were misled about the incentives being tied to using a Minto "preferred lender". That preferred lender disqualified us—despite finding us well-qualified before we signed. Because of this, two weeks before closing Minto stripped away our $25,000 incentive. We immediately went to our previous mortgage lender, who qualified us without issue. While Minto's business practices might technically be legal, they are deeply unethical. Furthermore, the standard builder-grade materials used in 2026 are shockingly low quality. Bathrooms feature Formica countertops, there is an excessive amount of carpet, and the cabinets are extremely cheap. Compared to a builder-grade home we constructed in 2012 (which included granite countertops in bathrooms and kitchen, engineered wood flooring, and [name removed] wood cabinets), Minto expects buyers to pay massive markups at the design center for low-grade materials to upgrade from the even lower quality builder-grade materials. Communication was also non-existent. Our sales representative, [name removed], completely ignored emails, phone calls, and texts from both me and my lender. He didn't even have the courtesy to speak to me at closing. The sole bright spot was our project manager, [name removed] was wonderful to work with, highly professional, and is truly the only thing Minto got right with our build.

The sales office. They made us feel like they didn’t want or need our business.

Working with everyone along the journey from purchasing to closing was great. I was very disappointed that there was a hole in my roof that left a significant amount of water sitting on my den floor
