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.

Probably just the loan process.

The walk throughs and communication were great, happy all issues were solved after blue tape walks and electric issues were solved rapidly after move in. I didn't go through the full custom process, but it felt like I had to ask for certain documents that I didn't receive up front and didn't even know we're available. For a buyer like me (first time home buyer) maybe it would be beneficial to have a packet specifically targeted for us that walks through your specific process and where to find information about the house (fixtures, materials, etc...)

As our case had been little complicated with the processing , [name removed] the manager of New homes , she was by our side giving a hope and energy whenever there was an issue . It was 3 months long processing , where there was a point we almost lost the hope . But I am grateful for all the team of New Homes for making this dream happen . Thank you so much .

We liked the transparent process throughout the experience. We thank [name removed], our sales executive who went beyond and above to get us the best deal and helped us in getting the offer proposal approved. We were delighted to see the inclusive upgrades and options provided in our new home and it gave us a premium purchase experience.

What I disliked most about my purchase experience was the lack of follow-through and transparency regarding the issues identified during our first walkthrough. During the initial walkthrough, we pointed out multiple problems inside the house and in the backyard. The builder’s representatives assured us that all these issues would be properly repaired and cleaned before the final walkthrough and closing. However, when we requested a final walkthrough before closing, we were told that the team’s schedule was full and that no final walkthrough could be arranged. We were reassured that all issues would be fixed before closing, so we trusted that commitment. Unfortunately, after closing and receiving the keys, we found that more than half of the original issues remained untouched, the interior was not properly cleaned, and the backyard was still full of weeds, dead plants, and debris — exactly as it was during the first walkthrough. We felt deceived and very disappointed because we relied on the team’s promise that everything would be completed before move-in. Even after reporting the backyard condition to the warranty department, we were told it might not be covered, despite the fact that it was part of the original list of issues the builder had agreed to fix. This experience left us feeling misled and dissatisfied with the overall process.

Working through the contract was fairly simple. [name removed] was great to work with. Unfortunately, the quality of the work throughout the house was very poorly done. Quality control was definitely not on their list of priorities. Trim work was poorly done, stucco has lots of spots that were not covered or broken off. Drawers throughout do not pull out evenly or smooth. Kitchen was not painted in satin or semi gloss. It was painted with flat paint the rug that had been replaced in the upstairs and on the staircase was poorly installed. Loose and misaligned patterns in the rug throughout and lots of gaps between the baseboard and rug. Stains on counters in the bathrooms. I’m sure many more issues will arise throughout the first year.

I can’t say this strongly enough: if I ever buy another home and see this lender attached, I’ll walk away immediately. If you asked toddlers to run a mortgage company, they’d do a better job. Months went by before I could even get someone on the phone. They kept bouncing me from one rep to another, losing paperwork at every step. Even after closing, I’m still chasing them for documents. To be clear: I love the home you built. I’d recommend you to anyone. But I cannot in good conscience recommend you as long as you’re tied to this lender. [name removed] even told me my contact was “one of the good ones.” If that’s true, I don’t see how most buyers would even make it to closing. The only reason my loan moved forward at all was because I escalated to their head office in Colorado. I seriously questioned whether the $21k incentive was worth the nightmare. This lender is the absolute worst. Unqualified, unprofessional, and impossible to work with. If you care about your buyers, cut ties with them. Fire your lender.

This is our third new home purchase. Compared to Brookfield and Lennar. The customer service, ability to provide resolution to our questions, and the included appliances is falling short. All the other homes have a refrigerator, dishwasher and smart switches included. The [name removed] appears too much of a gimmick with little value other than aesthetics. The continuous repetitiveness of guiding the sales associate through the purchase, and the constant lacking answer to our questions made it difficult. The service of post purchase has been great and the associate is communicative

The contracts team and finance team ULC teams are not very professional and lack skills and training for customer interaction. They do not communicate or send timely updates and lacks knowledge and skills in their areas of work. Also felt like most of those employees are part time staff or interns. Experience with ULC is extremely bad and deterrent to buy one more property or recommend to friends.

Our broker, [name removed] was wonderful. It was great to pick our interior features, lot and plan. We had many questions and she guided us easily. Our mortgage person, [name removed], was not good. She was inefficient, forgetful, unprepared and made getting the loan arduous.
