Del Webb Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

They deliver our home in time. Products of our home are exceptional. Sales agent should be upfront and aware of the capacity of Solar system. Choices of elevation should be discussed in detail ahead of time, even before signing up the lot.

Pulte mortgage was challenging. It was very nerve racking.

The little details of finishing the home were left unfinished. I watched my home being built, was here almost every day. Some little things I pointed out that needed to be fixed or replaced, were not fixed and still aren't fixed.

There are some annoying issues that are below expectations and so unnecessary, but overall, they are a fair and reputable company.

I would like to have given 5 stars, but the rush to finish and close at the end of the year left too many issues that needed to be addressed after closing.

Overall we’re happy with our home. There were several bumps along the way. But basically you’re buying a tract home. The buying process felt like a game to increase your cost. Between bidding for your home against “ phantom other buyers “ and the upgrades you need if you want the house to be even close to what the model looked like really drives the price up. We liked the people we worked with but I would do the buying differently next time.

Moved into no heat or hot water after a 20 hour move on a cold winter night. Kitchen island was wrong color as if I wouldn’t notice. Many other problems. The HOA treats me like an enemy. Nasty and condescending. The guards at the gate are horrible to me and my friends. I have buyers remorse. Overall a very bad experience. So far the dream home is a nightmare.

Sean has been excellent in addressing any issues that we had in moving into the new home.

Not much attention to finish work detail. Still waiting on the refrigerator after 3 months in. I wish I had known about the palm tree and streetlight locations before we paid a lot of money for the view.

The home was built a lot faster than anticipated.

While the process took a little longer than anticipated due to supply chain issues, Del Webb generally did a good job communicating progress and addressing issues as they arose

This is a beautifully landscaped community. There are miles of paved walking trails throughout the community.

The whole experience of buying a new home from Pulte was very positive

As a new homeowner I had a bad experience not because of supply issues, but I kept catching mistakes that were made. The quality of the windows is poor, They allow sand to leak into my home because they are not sealed well. They used the wrong grout on my floor. They promised to seal it but after I tested it I found out that they did not seal it. The island lights were not centered over the island. I was pressured to sign my closing check list showing everything was completed when it was not. Only one of the seven items were fixed before I moved in. All others I was told will have to come from the warranty department. I would probably not have Pulte build another home if I were to build another home. ... More

Very very poor customer service

Lack of empathy for buyer during multiple delays of home being ready for move in. Do not get appliances through Pulte.You will pay double the price you can pay for identical item at Home Depot. Pulte use low quality quartz, low grade windows, etc.. Design Center is 2 hours away from New home community - thus very inconvenient.

The delays in construction were excusable given the pandemic. The quality of construction is poor to awful. The service to fix problems is non existent. During the final inspection several problems were identified that are impossible to get fixed. The paint used in the house is of poor quality and the paint job is appalling. All upgrades make this new house livable but not worth the added cost. I would never recommend Del Webb construction to anyone.

It was all about the sales cycle. The quality of installed products was good and bad, and follow-up service is terrible. As an example, it's been 5 weeks since we asked to get our quartz counters (which are a mess) looked at. They don't even respond to requests half the time and once they hand a ticket off to a contractor the Pulte support team help ends there. Zero followup.

Difficult to work with. An assembly line. You’re just a number. Much more interested in meeting their financial commitments to Wall Street on home’s closed than meeting customer’s needs.

House plan was just what me needed. Lot view is great. Quality and on time.

The buying part was fine. My sales agent was very attentive and kept in touch constantly. She also took pictures at various points and sent them to me, which I greatly appreciated since I didn't live close enough to check on progress frequently. Since closing, however, I have had endless issues with the quality and response time in getting problems fixed. Every separate item requires a separate repair order and pictures. Then you wait for someone to approve the repair, the vendor to contact you, and even then, sometimes the items are not all fixed and they have to come back. I feel that my closing was rushed at the expense of quality and that some of the vendors used for the different trades are not experts at what they are doing. ... More

My wife and i have done 13+ real estate transactions to date. This includes two prior home purchases from Pulte in Nevada. This was BY FAR the most excruciatingly stressful, and anxiety ridden home purchase we have ever endured. The closing date was delayed two months which involved two interim moves at a cost of thousands of dollars to us. The delay was due to the complete incompetence of Pulte's forecasting/scheduling and procurement departments. We learned of the delays by reaching out to the construction department as there was NO communication at all from the sales department. Pathetic. All that was said was "we are sorry for the inconvenience" without a shred of empathy. These people had NO idea of the inconvenience we endured, nor did they care. The experience with Pulte mortgage was also the worst home loan process we have ever gone through. The repetitive request for documentation was so maddening we threatened to pay cash. It is VERY clear that the Pulte mortgage staff, and we dealt with many, is instructed NOT to think. They are trained to focus solely on "checking the boxes" to make sure that the transaction is flawlessly documented so it can be quickly sold to a secondary investor as opposed to providing a pleasant customer experience. We will NEVER purchase another Pulte/Del Webb home nor will we EVER recommend to anyone that they consider such a purchase. ... More

Despite economic conditions and deadlines it all came together beautifully

The buying process was easy. However the fact that you only have two weeks to make any changes or upgrades was troublesome. The pricing of upgrades is outrageous. Why the home has tile- carpet - tile in the entry makes no sense. And asking for that small piece of carpet to be tiled was not allowed.

Love the community and we love our home! There were delays outside of our control and outside of Pulte's control as well, so that part was frustrating for everyone. My only real complaint is that we have been in our home over a month now and we still have a non-working oven. We waited weeks for the appliance repair person to come out as instructed, only to learn that the main problem is an electrical issue. Now we have to wait for an electrician to be scheduled. The fact that Pulte is okay with us living without a working oven and isn't doing all they can to more quickly rectify the situation is disappointing. Other than that, the home itself is beautiful and we love living here! ... More
