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.

It was fine. Everything went smoothly on the New [name removed] Co. side. It was Universal Lending that was awful.

[name removed] at The New [name removed] Company played an essential role in making our home-buying experience smooth and stress-free. From the very beginning, she kept us closely connected to the construction process by regularly sending us photos and updates. Living far from the new home, we truly appreciated how she helped us feel involved every step of the way. She was proactive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. When she learned about upcoming tax changes, she promptly informed us, ensuring there would be no surprises later. Even after she had been reassigned to other properties, [name removed] continued to support us without hesitation, guiding us through the final stages of the process with the same care and commitment. One of the most critical moments came when there was a delay and miscommunication between our lender and the title company. [name removed] quickly stepped in to coordinate communication between all parties—us, our mortgage broker, and the title company—and played a key role in ensuring that we still closed on time. Her dedication, responsiveness, and genuine care truly exceeded expectations. It was an absolute pleasure working with her, and we’re so grateful for everything she did to help us into our new home. -------------------------- [name removed] was incredibly helpful during our final walkthrough before closing. He was thorough and attentive, taking diligent notes on all the items that needed to be addressed. His follow-up with the construction crew was prompt and effective—he ensured that everything was taken care of both before and after closing. What stood out most was his depth of knowledge, down to the smallest details—he even knew the exact shade of paint used in a specific room! [name removed]’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to making sure everything was just right gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated his support and dedication during such an important time.

[name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] were fantastic. [name removed] was completed on time. It was not as clean as it could have been when we moved in. It needed a good cleaning and some paint on tile in bath and laundry room.

Quality check and after move in repair, I have come up with a handful of items that impact my day to day living, I submit a request into the system, and I don’t hear back from the request, till I randomly get a call from an unknown number, stating it’s a contractor that is scheduled to fix something. The time windows are usually weekdays, hard to get Fridays, requiring me to take time off from my work, to meet a contractor. The home isn’t cheap, in order for us to be able to afford it, we have to be able to work, if I’m taking time off it means I’m not working! And since these are not easy to live with issues, I’m left with little choice.

I liked the Sales people. I didn't like when I was told that I am bound to Fidelity title company and then later on, it depends on builder. Reason being, in the closing cost there charges were very high compared to what I shopped for. It costed me couple of grands extra. Another thing is after first inspection, the repairs were not addressed in 2nd inspection and even 1 month after move-in. Only critical pieces were addressed. I saw the glues on toilet bottoms, chips on bath-tubs, scratches on french glass-door.

The communication from our sales representatives, [name removed] and [name removed], has been superb. They promptly answered our inquiries and provided all the details we requested. Our Customer Care Representative, [name removed], has also been excellent. He addresses any concerns swiftly and understands our perspective clearly.

The agents during the process were excellent. After closing escrow and attempting to work with getting several structural and cosmetic issues it became very challenging. The customer care representative is difficult to get a hold of. His email responses are inconsistent , he does not answer his phone, and he does not respond to voicemails. Even at this time we are still waiting to hear back in regards to several outstanding issues with our home.

I love the staffs!!! Terrific people; especially worthy of mention are [name removed] and [name removed]. They went above and beyond on so many occasions during my purchase experience, promptly responding to every one of my inquiries, even during their off days. They are the best of the best sales managers I have ever met. [name removed], the designer and her assistant, were very patient and provided much valuable and practical suggestions with the option selections. The onsite supervisors and customer care personnels, [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] are extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. The people are the best and the only down side is with the delay. While I fulfilled my part in closing on time, the glass panels was delayed several times and was not in placed until the day before excrow closing. That makes the closing experience very rushed and I was not able to properly inspect the property. Even now, 22 days after closing, one inside mirror door is still not installed.

Purchase experience was great. The help we are receiving after the purchase is great as well. The quality of the home, work that was performed, and just construction effort itself in providing quality work isn’t good. A lot of mistakes were done that we are still working through, paint job seems really bad (all walls have see through patches and lines), concrete work has puddle patches, windows not level and operate different from each other, cabinets are really cheap and have gaps at connections, even some design ideas aren’t the best.
