Sales reps are good. But unfortunately, service people are not good. For example, many items are not covered by In-Warranty and service rep is pretty rude to customers.

It was a pleasure working with the [name removed] staff. Our sales agent [name removed] was always welcoming and kept us informed at every stage of construction. Our construction foreman [name removed] was wonderful. He kept track of the thousands of details and the work of multiple contractors to produce our absolutely beautiful home.

when we moved in the retaining wall in the back was broken, but the warranty group said it's not covered under warranty. It was broken when we moved in and just need to address that if we could.

It was a pleasure to work with [name removed] and [name removed]. They always responded to our needs quickly and tried their best to resolve any issues. What I didn’t like was the quality of kitchen cabinets paining job. They weren’t sanded enough to make it soft and the brand new soft close hinges were all painted.

My warranty manager always very responsive on my concerns and have addresses the issues I brought up quickly. The customer care team always follow up to make sure my requests were closed completely. I don't like there is a very small file size limit on the warranty request form. I can't even upload a photo from my iphone, and it takes me a extra step to communicate the issue with the warranty service manager.

Liked the organized streamlined process. Did not like some limitations on customer choices such as mandatory double oven in kitchen.

This was a long process building our dream home, however at the end we were absolutely satisfied with the level of quality and craftsmanship that was put into the house. I would like to specially thank the project manager [name removed] for his commitment to the entire process and his attention to detail in ensuring everything was carefully planned and executed. He also made sure every concerns of ours were taken care of promptly. At the end of the build process he gave us a very detailed walkthrough giving every single information in order for us to not only know the home features but also to maintain them. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with everything in regards to the build process and would highly recommend Southgate Homes to anyone who are looking to build their ultimate dream home!

[name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] has been great to work with! They were on top of things and provided me with regular updates on the progress. Any time we had questions or any issues came up, they were handled timely and professionally. We were relocating from Massachusetts, so we were a bit nervous about the entire process given we are not going to be here all the time to check on our house, but they made the entire process very seamless. One item we wished we had a better experience in is communication and responsiveness from your title company. Our lender had requested some information at the end of October and there was no communication or response from them for almost three weeks despite of multiple follow-ups. Given we went with your preferred title company, we expected a better communication and experience from the title company. Once we got their attention (and [name removed] had to follow-up constantly), they were communicative and responsive the last few days but we hoped that it had not come down to the last few days. Our loan would have been cleared to close a couple weeks ago than it did if my lender did not have to wait for the information from the title company. On the day of closing and the last few days before closing, our experience was good with the title company, but prior to that our experience with the title company could have been much improved.

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.
