Purchase Experience Testimonials from Real Homebuyers

Birmingham, AL, on Jul 15, 2024

I was very informed about how the steps were going to go as far as my frame walk, times of my next appointments and when to get things moving on my current house.

After the completion of my purchase [name removed] did a walk through and explained all of the technical details. He explained all the warranty information. He was very helpful and left cell# should we have additional questions or concerns

I do like the home and layout. Communication throughout the process was not great. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the office and the builder. At the walk thru, I was under the impression we would be marking spots on the wall that needed paint. The house was not done which made the walk through overwhelming. The fence was not installed and the builder was not aware we were getting a fence as a part of the home. The fence was not complete by closing and then the fence was installed in the wrong spot which then had to be removed. My yard still has 9 concrete spots where grass is missing where the posts were moved from. I was told they would come to fix the yard but still waiting for it to be completed. I was told it will be fixed when they put in sod at the house next door. We love the house, there were just aspects where communication seemed to be lacking and we were told to close and they would fix it afterward which didn’t give me a great feeling.

Once you are in contract there can be no changes unless you want to be charged $500. Per change. So we obviously disliked that. We didn’t like that some of the other homes were allowed to have things that we weren’t- extra concrete for parking, outside lights, and also gutters that are different colors than the trim. These are just the examples we specifically asked about. Lastly, them not sodding all the way to our lines regardless of hill was a huge dislike. We really liked the communication from the agents and our builder!

I don’t like not being able to speak with someone about the issues I am having. Also, I don’t like that some issues aren’t being resolved.

We love our home! We have voiced our complaints a few times already. It is over the “pond” behind our home. And the weeds around the pond that back up to our metal fence, and the debris in the water.

Air conditioner had to be rewired to work correctly. CAT6 and coax plugs were not prewired and had to be set up by me after moving in.

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.
