I had an excellent experience with Olson Homes from start to finish. The entire team was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in creating a beautiful home. Their attention to detail, quality craftsmanship, and thoughtful design truly set them apart. The process was smooth and transparent — every step, from the initial walkthrough to closing, was handled with care and clear communication. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and I always felt supported throughout the build. The finished home exceeded my expectations. The layout is well thought out, the finishes are beautiful, and you can tell Olson Homes takes great pride in their work. I would absolutely recommend Olson Homes to anyone looking for a builder that combines modern design with top-notch customer service.

I liked how [name removed] finished the home with nice look. But I did not like the fact that the switch for 1st floor staircase is not next to the door to the garage.

I love the quality of the homes. Make sure that every part of the home will last a long time. The materials are exceptional and tastefully designed. I’ve always had someone to contact and known who to contact for any reason. They have set up and helped the [name removed] community to run its own HOA. They always listen to concerns or questions. I would definitely build again with Olson Homes.

What I dislike most is the inability to move a variety of furniture into my place due to small entry way. What I did like about my purchase is the ability to call on someone when a problem arises and the friendly employees that work for the company..

What I like most about my experience with [name removed] is their professionalism yet personal appeal. Although this was a major business transaction I never felt that [name removed] didn’t make my interests a priority. And yet, cultivated a new family with them and my new community.

Builder Profile

#1 Builder for Best Overall Customer Experience
2017-2018 & 2020!

Each Olson community starts with a simple question. How can we give homeowners the best quality of life possible? The answer starts with where we build. Committed to seeing the potential of the urban landscape, we re-entitle, rezone, and develop underutilized parcels, building energy-efficient homes that are close to jobs, key transportation links, and numerous recreational and entertainment options. Since most of our communities are in mature neighborhoods, they require minimal infrastructure, helping to keep construction costs low, taxes reasonable, and home prices attainable. Each Olson community name includes the word “walk” because our vision is for homeowners to be able to exit their front door and walk to shopping, restaurants, cafes, and schools, engaging with their neighbors and becoming part of the fabric of their cities.

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.
