I will say the only dislikes that I have is out of [name removed]‘s control, which are community members not following the rules and guidelines. What I like most about [name removed] is how attentive and efficient they are when issues arise. What I LOVE most about Olson Homes is working with [name removed], he exemplifies professionalism in every aspect of his work. He approaches each task with precision, consistently meets deadlines as promised, and communicates clearly and respectfully with me and my wife [name removed]. No questions or concerns are left unanswered with [name removed]. Our interactions with [name removed] makes us feel like a community member unlike a numbered ticket he has to service. [name removed] is truly exceptional—reliable, talented, and a genuine asset that [name removed] is lucky to have.

What I liked the most about my experience is the personalized service I received. At ever step of the process I felt like I was the most important client; they listened, took action and followed up when needed. It started with the Sales process with [name removed], he was courteous, understanding of my needs and kept his word whenever he said he would check on something and call me back. He remembered my name and used it at every interaction. [name removed] is a gem of an asset, straight shooter. If it can be done, he makes the effort to fix it. He under promises and over deliver. Honestly he treated me like a VIP and I know I was not his only client. [name removed], my first Customer Service [name removed] is amazing. He was thorough, accommodating to my schedule and the many moving pieces around my crazy move in schedule. He was patient in walking me through the features, although I was distracted at times, he did not get annoyed. Recently I was purchasing paint, on a Saturday, and I texted him, he immediately responded with the information - AMAZING. Last but not the least, [name removed] my new Homeowner Satisfaction [name removed]. Courteous, accommodating with my schedule and very detailed. From the moment we met, again it was evident that my satisfaction with my home was a priority. He remembered my name and used it - the ultimate professional. Overall, [name removed] is a Top Rated Homebuilder that is not just focused on turning out houses, but really focused on the homeowner's experience and building homes where positive lifelong experiences can be created. The consistency of the service delivery from start to finish speaks to the culture of Olson [name removed]. I will be a lifelong spokesperson for [name removed] [name removed]!! Best home purchase experience EVER!!

[name removed] was great. He was proactive and let us know our resources. He also helped changed our air filters and submitted work orders on our request.

The door knob is too close to the edge of the door. A person with a fat hand has hard time opening the door. Also the the switch for stair should be right next to the door to the garage.

Home had a lot of touchups, including misaligned sink, carpet, vinyl plank, paint on walls, and not to mention dust everywhere.

There is nothing I dislike. I guess the one thing I didn’t expect was to continue to experience the oven setting off the alarms throughout the complex

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.
