Del Webb Reviews

Alejandro was a great supervisor on our home after starting out with someone else. All minor issues were resolved and the house is engineered very well. Well designed house for use of space and functional.

Home buying experience went smoothly - no complaints. Just slightly disappointed with some of the limited choices - example: baseboards, interior doors, lighting fixtures - pretty basic and not really my taste - no option to forgo or purcahse our own.

Wish there was more info provided about steps in the buying process. Also since models have higher end features, when making your final selections the design should inform buyers about affects of options chosen. For example, if you select the arch package your baseboards will not be standard (now curves). Found out near end of process videos were available ( and wasn’t told) to talk about steps in the homebuying purchase. More info about earnest deposit and how is applied to final purchase or not. More info also about extra paid for additional options chosen and how it is applied to final purchase or not. People were friendly. Would also say since my spouse had never purchased a new house before that more communication would have allayed fears and more info about process the total build process took over 14 months from start to finish. ...

Everyone at Pulte Mortgage was nice to work with and supportive. The construction manager was wonderful and so helpful & really listened to my concerns. There were some things about the house I wasn’t pleased with, but overall the quality was pretty good. I thought the house was a little overpriced for the size of it - it is a small 2 bedroom home & the second bedroom is tiny. The front yard is all right but the back yard is very small with a slope where you can’t plant anything.

You are paying a premium to join a 55 and older community. The option costs range from reasonable to wildly overpriced. We had a good build process manager and we are pleased with the end result. It is a nice tract home. But it is not a semi-custom home by any stretch. The lack of landscaping support post sale is disappointing. The builder gives excuses about the trees being stressed by transplanting, but no help in what to do to help them recover.

We were very pleased with our builder team, especially our project manager Daniel. He kept us informed throughout the process and responded immediately to our questions/requests. More importantly he was honest and trustworthy.

Great responsiveness and quality from Manny and Matt. Pulte was pretty inflexible but the people overcame this.

Stella in sells was a little difficult to work with and a little pushy. Steve has been better to work with but mostly things were done when he took over. My advice to others would be don’t let the sells people push you into making quick decisions. Know what you’re getting into upfront. We came from a custom home experience to a production home experience. It’s very different.

Tanya ((sales) and Brogan (production) are terrific people and excellent to work with. Tanya especially kept us informed and/or resolved problems (very few) as they occurred. Overall I'd say our Pulte contacts rate a 10 out of 10 stars.

My concerns would be with the houses, as offered before options, are not really quality homes. Quality as in 24 inch center roof trusses. 24 inches seem a bit far apart but that would be a way to save money on building a home. If you do not take an upgrade option in anything, you will get sub standard materials (sinks, carpet, fixtures, etc) in the home. If you pay more for options, the materials are a bit better. For the cost of the home, seems like just offering a better grade of materials would be better than sitting across the desk talking about upgrades that really should be standard in a home. A good example would be paver driveways and walkway. This should be a standard for homes since it seems no one takes the standard concrete driveway / walkway. Why are pavers an option when concrete driveways / walkways are somewhat discouraged? Carpet is another example of placing quality carpet in your home rather than sit across the desk and discuss optional upgrades. Almost seems like the folks offering upgrades get a bonus for you obtaining upgrades rather than have a comfortable home. Are the upgrades offered really increase the value of your home if and when you decide to sell? Some upgrades do help increase the value of your house but I am not sure about most of the upgrades having weight in determining the value of a re-sale. ... More

This being our first experience building and owning in a 55+ community my wife and I are rookies for sure. I have worked in the construction industry for my whole life so I speak with experience in the trade. The buying phase of the process went well and without a hitch. Lisa our sales rep was fantastic and guided us through the initial lot and home purchase and was super helpful. 3 months later construction started and we were introduced to John our construction manager who equally was superior throughout the building phase keeping us informed and up to date on any and all issues. Being from Pennsylvania the communications and updates from John were appreciated. Structural and mechanical phases went well and were sound as well as the masonry work. We are currently working through finish carpentry and painting issues which are of concern namely too much debris on drywall not cleaned up before finished paint, moulding install and finished caulking sub standard. Too many dents and dings and scratches on doors windows and hardware. The problem is a lack of pride of workmanship and accountability for whatever the reason. On the flip side we are having the issues addressed through the warranty team and hope to have them alleviated soon. One public issue of concern is the slow approach to the amenity complex completion date. We as residents are paying nearly full HOA dues and feel deserving of a timely completion of the campus. Overall it should be a great place to call home and enjoy life in a beautiful community. ... More

Covid was not your friend if you were building a house. The 18 month process was indeed long and at times frustrating, not to mention the historic price increase in such as short period of time. However, our Del Webb sales person and construction manager kept in touch with us on a regular basis with updates on progress and provided pictures. Material and worker availability affected the entire country, so we understood. After finally moving in, we love the house and found very few minor issues that were handled immediately. We've only been in a month, but love the house and community. Best decision we ever made! ... More

The Carolina Gardens Community is great! Lots of wonderful people to meet. My only complaint is……. Being in an OVER 55 Community ……67 years old and living alone ….most everything needs to be done online on a computer ….And Not a phone. I totally understand that this is the times now but after a certain age my technology knowledge is not one of my best abilities. I asked my salesman if I could get a printout of all the paperwork and he said NO! Straight out No! I don’t have a printer and spending close to $800 thousand on my home I did not feel I was asking too much. How was l suppose to easily read and view all my paperwork and contracts? It’s hard to scroll up and down over a hundred pages on a computer or phone to look up information with the typed letters being so small and the buttons so tiny. It would have meant so much to me if I could have just gotten a print out! I would have loved to hear SURE THING! Was I really asking too much??? I finally got a friend who helped me get it all printed out and feel so much better. Remember we are senior citizens! Don’t need to concentrate on things like the dishwasher was raised a few inches to help with the senior citizens back issues…..concentrate on listening to the people needs. Technology needs! ...

Our sales agent, Kristin was helpful thorough and very responsive

Our house manager Manny was just great. Having several houses built before , so I am used to dealing with contractors and builders, but in this case it was a pleasure as when Manny said something, it just happened. Can't be beat. Have discussed his performance with others and was surprised to hear what trials other others had with their managers. All I can say is we hit the jackpot when we got Manny.

It was a good purchase.

Project took longer than expectation set

Sales support was excellent construction manager has great customer, focus and follow through on all items

The sales-rep (Alex), Construction Manager(Ryan) and warrantee manager(Jason) have all been exceptional. All get top marks. It's odd that Del Webb keeps saying "Congratulations" when they should be saying "Thank you". The purchase process is almost deliberately confusing and is not client-focused. I asked the online team one question and the response was non-sensical so I did not communicate with them again.

The process was very well organized. Sometimes I felt under pressure to do things and make decisions more quickly than I would have liked. I hope we made the right decisions. Selection of options / extras / style / colors was an especially stressful process. On the other hand I understand that Del Webb had to nail down the specs to build.

Overall, very nice experience. I would recommend a friend.

Our Sales person was absolutely wonderful. She keep us updated on the entire process of the the home being built. Every 2 weeks we received a status update on the home from ground breaking to the week before closing. As always, there were a few issues upon closing but the crew was very professional and great to work with in getting the issues resolved. Overall, we are very happy with the build of the home.

Overall experience was good. Make sure you are fully committed to your choices because changes can be frustrating and expensive.

Every aspect of dealing with Del Webb from lot choice to move in was terrific. The only detractors from an otherwise perfect experience were dealing with Pulte Mortgage and Pulte Insurance. I love my home.

There was only one real issue that was always present and that was the 15 month wait to build the home. We signed the contract in May of 2022 and were assured that the home would be built by April, 2023. We didn't move in until Sept 22, 2023. The problem was that we had to move to 2 different rental locations due to this delay. We would see our lot set idle for 2-3 months before any workers arrived. Communication from Pulte was spotty and not informative, very frustrating. Once in the home, I believe that it was well built and we are enjoying our living experience. Pulte needs to better inform clients with accurate info. ... More
