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.

All is fantastic! There’s only a little bit small problem with some details.

I liked the Sales people. I didn't like when I was told that I am bound to Fidelity title company and then later on, it depends on builder. Reason being, in the closing cost there charges were very high compared to what I shopped for. It costed me couple of grands extra. Another thing is after first inspection, the repairs were not addressed in 2nd inspection and even 1 month after move-in. Only critical pieces were addressed. I saw the glues on toilet bottoms, chips on bath-tubs, scratches on french glass-door.

The communication from our sales representatives, [name removed] and [name removed], has been superb. They promptly answered our inquiries and provided all the details we requested. Our Customer Care Representative, [name removed], has also been excellent. He addresses any concerns swiftly and understands our perspective clearly.

The agents during the process were excellent. After closing escrow and attempting to work with getting several structural and cosmetic issues it became very challenging. The customer care representative is difficult to get a hold of. His email responses are inconsistent , he does not answer his phone, and he does not respond to voicemails. Even at this time we are still waiting to hear back in regards to several outstanding issues with our home.

I love the staffs!!! Terrific people; especially worthy of mention are [name removed] and [name removed]. They went above and beyond on so many occasions during my purchase experience, promptly responding to every one of my inquiries, even during their off days. They are the best of the best sales managers I have ever met. [name removed], the designer and her assistant, were very patient and provided much valuable and practical suggestions with the option selections. The onsite supervisors and customer care personnels, [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] are extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well. The people are the best and the only down side is with the delay. While I fulfilled my part in closing on time, the glass panels was delayed several times and was not in placed until the day before excrow closing. That makes the closing experience very rushed and I was not able to properly inspect the property. Even now, 22 days after closing, one inside mirror door is still not installed.

Purchase experience was great. The help we are receiving after the purchase is great as well. The quality of the home, work that was performed, and just construction effort itself in providing quality work isn’t good. A lot of mistakes were done that we are still working through, paint job seems really bad (all walls have see through patches and lines), concrete work has puddle patches, windows not level and operate different from each other, cabinets are really cheap and have gaps at connections, even some design ideas aren’t the best.

They were very flexible and cooperated with me and my agent. They extended my time as I needed due to different circumstances. Everything in the house is very nice and in a excellent area and community. I would definitely recommend the New Home Co to other homebuyers in the market!

The whole process was great! The agents were so so nice! The house designs are beautiful! The construction manager was very nice as well! The whole team we worked with was very understanding and happy to help! What we did not like was that many of the things in the house were broken in the process of installation or during construction, and then needed to be repaired after the walkthrough (we chips all over the bathtub; we had broken kitchen cabinets). They were repaired well! but could have been not broken in the first place to be new.

Our "address" of [name removed] [name removed] [name removed] is not recognized as a valid address by the post office, which is making it impossible for us to process a change of address from our present home, Furthermore, if you google the address or look on Zillow it shows just a piece of undeveloped land - NO HOUSE. This leads me to believe that someone at NewHomeCo dropped the the ball in notifying the county, so that they in turn could not notify the post office of it being a valid address. Further, and more aggravating, I was THEN told by your local agent in an email that "Well, no one else in the development had experienced that problem" inferring that it was somehow my failure. She denied any responsibility for ANYONE at NewHomeCo, and told me that I would have to visit the post office personally to resolve the problem and that I would likely have a "learning curve" with them. What she didn't realize is that - not only did I go online with USPS showing the address as invalid, but I went to my local post office in person here in Florida to hear the same thing and my daughter who lives in El Dorado Hills and our realtor went to the post office in El Dorado Hills, only to hear the same response - that SOMEONE from the builder or the HOA would have to take the documentation to the county. After writing me an insulting email, your local rep essentially said "you're on your own" and offered no further assistance. I will be glad to forward the emails to you. The issue this causes for me, is that extremely important U.S. mail containing significant documents like life or death healthcare records, sensitive financial information, remaining bills for which we have local responsibility, and much more that are at risk of ending up in a vortex of lost an misplaced mail. It WON'T be the post office's fault. It will be NewHomeCo's which makes me an extremely unhappy new home owner. My phone number is 216 401 3481. [name removed]

Receptive selling practice from beginning: incorrect sales price that went into contract, real cost of HOA fees were undisclosed with our build phase, misleading information from sales about parking restrictions, and etc.

Like: Salespeople ([name removed], [name removed]) responded timely & promptly and they are very supportive. Don't like: Most of the upgrades are preselected and didn't give me many options. Even within the available options, small changes like adding soft closers to cabinet doors and adding a couple of additional lights weren't allowed. These are very minor changes The paint & tiles job could have been done better
