Del Webb Reviews

Everything was good until Pulte Mortgage got involved, I would rate their service an absolute zero. Everyone we talked to in the Denver, Co. office was totally unorganized & couldn't decide what they needed when. This is the eighth house my wife have bought & they single handedly made this experience worse than all the others put togather, wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!

Cookie cutter homes. Don’t have the ability to make any change after contract is signed. Poor communication between Pulte and my mortgage company during mortgage approval time.

Overall the experience was about what one would expect from a large builder, everything was dialed in, Not a lot of flexibility but in the end the home is comfortable and the workmanship is good with a lot of quality checks along the way, a pretty standard home. Although the two loan originators were professional and helpful… the actual loan process, especially the underwriting was the absolute worst loan experience I’ve ever had, the underwriting department demanded that I violate a court ordered confidentiality agreement with regards to a large deposit (I refused). They basically added insult to injury. Absolutely would not recommend or use Pulte Mortgage again. We did a conventional loan with a large down payment, cash for closing and beyond in the bank, very little debt (auto loan) and income that exceeds the national median income many times over. It was an absolute joke. ... More

This was our third new build so we believe we've gained a little knowledge and experience with purchasing new homes. This one from Del Webb was nice at the introduction however, having to wait 10 months to close on our new home all the while watching interest rates climb. What is the earnest money good for? That's an experience we did not enjoy at all. Priority should have been given to lock in rates when earnest money is given. Yes we understand about post covid supply issues, but why are the buyers the ones you wait and end up having to pay higher payments? Not good business.

I do not blame the delays on Del Webb, they were the fault of our politicians. However, even several months after moving in, my oven is not completely installed and the hot water recirculating is not working. The contractors have generally been very responsive. This is except the plumbers. They have repeatedly lied, missed appointments, and have not resolved the problem.

The experience was less than positive due to lack of information on what to expect, being 1500 miles away and finding out things we should have been made aware of during the purchase AFTER we moved in.

Pulte was very responsive to the quality related issues encountered. We saw shortcuts that led to some of the quality issues.

Stone Creek used 116,000 gallons of water on our sod prior to ours closing. After our closing we had inadvertently and quite accidentally and mistakenly used 92,000 gallons of water on our new sod. Isn’t that an excessive amount of water and a waste????? Perhaps your notice/awareness Regarding watering new sod to new homebuyers could be made with more emphasis regarding the awareness of the first and second water bill!!!!! It’s been very upsetting to get our first water bill - $733.46!!!!!! It’s absolutely absurd and a shame that we got this kind of bill!!! Very upsetting as new home buyers to Stone Creek!!! We have never experienced this kind of water bill anywhere ever!!!! This should NOT have happened!!! We would trust you more had this not have happened!!! Perhaps literature to new home buyers could be written with a stronger warning regarding their first water bill!!!!!! ... More

Home buying should be fun and this was not. I chose my home lot because of the location and views, not being told that there was a hill and homes being built above me. I paid a premium for my lot and now all my views are blocked. The finishing up my home was delayed over two months, which was very frustrating as I never knew whether it was going to be done or not, and when my move-in date would be. But, when I finally moved in, I love my home, and the small issues have been taken care of. The neighborhood is fabulous and the amenities are beyond amazing. So I guess, all in all it’s worth it.

Sales agent was not helpful other than day when we purchased. Our realtors tried to get answers from sales agent, but wasn't getting prompt responses from sales agent. Sales agent got transferred to another location. Was difficult getting information to close as the Escrow agents also changes 4times.

Sales agent was super. Building site supervisor was responsive. But there were about two dozen issues regarding poor workmanship or carelessness of builders. Fortunately, customer care response to outstanding issues has been great. Builder did promote its mortgage company, which pushed unacceptable terms; we were able to find much better terms easily. Title & closing was a grease fire--completely disorganized. Builder could not produce a Certificate of Occupancy in time for the initial closing date, resulting in a delay and forcing us to waste vacation and travel time. On day of closing, title company was lax communicating with our lender, jeopardizing receipt of funds. Title officer was very tardy arriving to office (we had a three-hour drive; she was local). ...

The front gate system is terrible half the time people can’t get in and then some days there own all day . They are unnamed a lot . The management company is a bit irresponsible and too far away with only a email not a phone number . If there was a true emergency it would be a disaster . Need more resposible people at front gate .

the work was done by non speaking English so they couldn't read all my change orders so I,can't give a good rating on work man's hip way too many major mistakes!!

The workmanship has a lot to be desired. I think the building of the house was rushed and the attention to detail was lacking. We had numerous problems with the house. The response to the problems was excellent and our project manager was on top of everything.

The materials used are of mediocre quality. The design is sub-par for livability in the Martin Rey unit.

Our building construction manager was very responsive however he took time off during birth of his son and during that time, response was less than acceptable. He is back and I assume we will be getting the same response to our punchlist items as expected

The contractor site managers and other personnel have been knowledgeable, polite and considerate. I have had minor problems with the dwelling but so far these issues have been resolved except for items deleted or on backorder. I purchased the backyard landscaping from contractor. I am disappointed with the results and would not recommend this option purchase. However, homeowners who are installing their own backyards and pools lack consideration of the near neighbors. Overall my experience has been marginally positive.

Be aware that the builder does not work well with lenders or customers when it comes to scheduling the closing.

I think they build a good solid foundation, but the finishing details are far from decent. Painting, trim work, landscaping should be better for the price you pay. No changes are allowed to be made.

The Builder and the Builder manager were very good. Thank you Parker. The Pulte mortgage and everyone involved were awful, with the exception of Josh locally. Worst experience of my life and I will never do it again with Pulte. With all due respect and thank you for asking

Lack of proper cleanup resulted in brown floor becoming gray. Spackling dust was not clean up. entire house needed a VERY needed cleaning. Very Disappointed

Dealing with the salesperson, could have been a better experience!! Customer service could have been much more bettter!

Generally speaking, my home is well-built structurally. The quality of the finish work (flooring, trim, paint) however, is fair at best. Pulte was definitely more interested in getting the house finished quickly versus finishing it well. Someone, other than local construction management, needs to have the power and authority to insist that quality is prioritized over a closing date. This is my eighth new home. I know what a well-built, quality home looks like and entails. I love the location and the community. Over time I can and will correct all the quality issues. It’s very disappointing to have to do so. ... More

Our home took almost twice as long to build as originally told, but that was fine as that seems pretty typical in the Las Vegas market, and we weren't in any hurry. The home is very well built, but right when we did our home designing (after contract was signed) we were told we could ONLY paint the inside FLAT WHITE due to supply issues (no other builders seem to have this restriction). Once our house was eventually complete, we had to wait about 2 months for the wall microwave/oven combo to arrive (more supply issues apparently). The worst part, though, was that we originally went with Pulte Mortgage (Del Webb in-house financing) and while we had a lot of hoops to jump through since we are both self employed, we seemed to check all the boxes to get approved. The main reason we went with Pulte Mortgage was because we were given a $6k credit at closing if we did. Well, it's late January and our house was almost done so we were told that we were closing by end of February and we needed BOTH our personal AND business 2022 tax returns done to get final approval for our loan. The IRS had not even finished publishing final guidelines for the tax year yet. So, VERY LONG story short, we ended up going with Del Webbs "backup lender" and they did NOT honor the $6k closing credit since we did not go with their preferred in-house lender. Very disappointed in how they handled that. They knew from the beginning that if we did not close by the end of 2021 that they were going to require our 2022 tax returns, but NO ONE EVER SAID A THING!! All that said, we love our home and it is very good quality, there were just too many pot holes and speed bumps along the way that, in the end, made it a very frustrating experience and ultimately showed that Del Webb is just looking out for themselves and their bottom line and not really caring about the customer. ...

The whole experience of taking out a mortgage for 1/2 the cost of the property was absolutely terrible. It took me 3 days too pay cash for the house but they couldn't figure out in 4 months if I could afford the mortgage payment. If you have a business, investment properties etc. don't waste you time with Pulte!
