Making claims was easy but the reply to get them fixed took a while

Staff was very kind! Homes are beautiful. Overpromising made things hard sometimes, but it all worked out.

Everyone made me feel like I deserve this home. There was no information about what plants and trees they planted, that's my only complaint.

Walk through was terrible it felt rushed and an inconvenience for [name removed]. Lack of consistency between the diagrams we were shown for lightening for the comfort level and was delivered. I purchased previously from Pacific Communities (37267 [name removed]) and expected that same quality this time. I have been disappointed.

I liked everything about my home purchases. There are things I would have wanted to do before house was built but I understand that I did not own the house yet untill completion.

Overall, my wife [name removed] and I had a positive experience purchasing our new home with Pacific Communities. From signing the contract to receiving our keys, we appreciated the assistance and professionalism throughout the process. Purchasing a home is a major milestone, especially when you're doing it for your family. What we enjoyed most was seeing everything come together and finally moving into a beautiful new home where we can raise our three boys and create lasting memories. We're happy with our purchase and grateful to have a place our family can call home for years to come.

The feed back when submitting a ticket isn’t as insuring. I also wish the home interior should of all been gloss paint, the wet paint is TERRIBLE it dirties fast and it isn’t a simple clean otherwise it smears all over.

The inside door handles are very poor quality and always stick. We have had them checked and "fixed" multiple times but they are a bad design and always get stuck. Also, the team may respond to issues relatively promptly but do not fully resolve the issues. There are some issues that have not been resolved since my prepurchase inspection. Also, before we closed escrow we scheduled an appointment to view out home, drove over 3 hours with two small children only to find out the builder changed the locks and did not know how to access them. No explanation was given and we were basically told "oops" with no empathy or apology or concession given for wasting our whole day for nothing.

Not to happy with the [name removed] Timer switch on the home. It somehow resets itself for no reason at all, causing power outages all over the home.

I feel like it’s a question of quality assurance. Loose wires leading to AC going out within 10 days of moving in. Cabinet with broken boards shored up with nails sticking out. Door handles that are loose and locks that stick. Front door jamb that was damaged and molded over. Blinds that were paid in full but not installed in a timely manner with no formal apology from the design center about the huge inconvenience.

I like that in my own home and that [name removed] and [name removed] made the move feel comfortable. I dislike how the air conditioning system is put in incorrectly. I notice the builders did not do a good job on important appliances.

The way I was treated. With dignity and respect by the seller and the mortgage company.

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.
