DiVosta Homes Reviews in Indian River County, FL

Beware of games they play with pricing on their quick move in homes. We were considering 2 different homes with similar upgrades and pricing. Soon after we signed our contract, they drastically lowered the price on the home we didn't buy and eventually sold it for much less than their original advertised price. We feel that we were not treated fairly and overpaid for the home we purchased.

The actual build experience was good. Our construction super, Bill Novels, was excellent. Good follow through and communication. The problem we're having now is the follow through on items that were not done properly the first time. It seems like it takes weeks to get any follow up. I wish I could say that all the issues were minor, bit for example we have a large bump out on the wall in the master bath. It's on the side wall of the vanity and it sticks out about 3/4 of an inch. We can't have a mirror installed until it's fixed. Additionally the quality of the workmanship was fair at best. We had paint splatter all over the tile floor, the master bath vanity lights were not centered over the sink, the exhaust over the stove doesn't work, there's a cabinet door in the master bath with a hinge missing a part, the front door was missing the top hinge pin and the bypass doors in the third bedroom closet are installed improperly. We are out of town right now and the drywallers wanted to come, after waiting since March 27. I'm hoping when we get back that all these issues can be fixed. And one last thing, when are the refrigerators coming in? The loaner we have is terrible. ... More

We did not like the virtual closing.

I love the community and how it is laid out. The landscaping is amazing, not over done. The clubhouse and amenities are first rate. I would recommend this community to my friends. I am happy I made the right decision to move here.

Closing took seven hours instead of 45 minutes - the delay had nothing to do with us! The garage door wouldn't open or close. It took seven days for them to come out to fix it. The employee said he wouldn't charge us this time but the next time we would have to pay! We only lived here a month before it broke. The HOA rep. for Castle group is not helpful or pleasant. After six weeks living here we still have things that need to be fixed - we're sure they will be but we have not been updated.

The home buying experience has been difficult. There are a number of issues with the quality of the workmanship. I have been working to resolve these issues with the warranty team. It is concerning to have to deal with electric and appliance problems in a new home in addition to cosmetic issues.

There is an evident lack of control and supervision in the building of our house. Many details that should be right are not and the response to addressing the details takes too long. There should be more supervision and inspection, as well as a better post-closing service to ensure quality and generate a better buyer experience while keeping trust in Pulte and Divosta.

Im dissatisfied with the finishes. From the They look cheap. From the cheap, plasticy floor that is warped in some areas which creates a weird, dipping effect in some places where you walk. I get the strong impression that the items chosen for the home , all in white mind you, were done so due to their low, bulk price point and not one of first rate quality. Clearly no thought was given to actaul use of home and that bright white paint, cabinets etc are merely a vessel for dirt, smudges, stains etc., I hate the cheap carpets in the rooms. especially when i get to step on carpet nails. When I asked the salesperson if i could pay extra to have a different flooring put in I was told no The carpet is of lower quality as well because places are already started to wear and lose fabric. I hate the sliding glass door assembly that isnt installed correctly. From the massive , disgusting paint mark that someone tried to pass off damage with, to the the cockeyed installation of the frame. The frame has proven difficult to work as Ive tried to install a dog door alongside and it is not lining up straight so that im able to use/lock dog door etc. ... More

Nice house nice area hope all problem get taken care of

Had issues the first day with AC, coil replaced. back again 2 weeks later with a freon leak. These things happen and they responded with some prodding because it was a weekend. First time we use washing machine the sewer line is plugged. again these things happen but should have been addressed before closing with any kind of quality control.

There were many issues that should have been found prior to our move in. The list has been given to rectify and the response to correct has been slow.

Just wish that I knew a year ago what I know about how this builder conducts its business. Word of advice to the next buyer, do your due diligence, take your time and have the house inspected well. It will save you a lot of headaches down the road. Don't sign/agree to anything before you have things fixed.

Quality has gone down. Problems abound after closing 2mos ago!!!

Cannot get the warranty person at the Lakes to answer emails, answer questions about construction deficiencies or schedule contractors to effect repairs. He even told my wife that our problems were "small ". The problems include issues with the windows, doors, HVAC system, tile floors, paint, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, pavers and landscaping. Repeated questions about when and how these issues will be addressed seem to be ignored. Therefore, although the initial construction and communication were good, follow through after closing has been very difficult and frustrating.

Be sure to closely inspect absolutely everything before closing and check that it is all completed before taking possession of your new home.

Issues during build were addressed. Afterwards still waiting for repairs. Doesn’t seem to be a priority. We were told in November of 2021 clubhouse would be finished in a year. Clubhouse isn’t even started October 2022. Gates aren’t closed in the evening as we were told for security.

Lack of attention to detail/finished product.. Sloppy work by construction crew..

This was the second home we have built in less than 4 years and we thought DiVosta was better. Unfortunately for us, we are once again having a lot of the same poor workmanship issues. And the same lack of concern or communication to fix the house issues. Extremely disappointed.

We are now a month past closing and we have many tile, painting, cabinet issues that were supposed to be completed still undone with no schedule for completion.

Once the payment is made it is very difficult to get the small issues resolved.I highly recommend you have several people doing walk thru cause if you miss something that you can't see right of way you are told you can't do anything about it should of been see on walk thru.still waiting for issues to be resolved it is now 2 months since we moved in and still waiting. However one construction manager did go over and above even after his part was done (Todd Griffin) if you are lucky enough to have him. He always responded when we had issues when others did not This is Elaine's Review

The communication with our project manager was good at first. Then once we got further along it was hard to get answers to our questions. Now that we have closed and moved in, there are issues that need to be fixed and it’s a constant follow up with when people are coming to do the work. I know we are in Covid tiles and workforce is low but it’s like they forget the people that have bought homes from them and continue to build homes instead of getting the small things fixed at peoples homes

The quality of materials and workmanship could me better. Two times tickets have been submitted and nothing has been taken care of..

I will never suggest this builder. Only wants money. Pushed to close with a rush walkthrough and many problem found after the fact. Still waiting for resolution to issues.

The actual build process was overall great. Our Construction Manager kept us in the loop and updated throughout the entire process and was quite enjoyable to see. The quality of the over build is very good. Some minor things here and there you catch, but overall more positive than negative. The customer care has been good so far and have been helping take care of warranty related issues. Our major concern and something YOU should be very aware of is the community itself. We were sold that our new community is a "family" community. If you are a "family" looking for a new home, I would thoroughly do your research before making a decision to purchase a property in one of these Divosta HOA communities that permit all ages to buy. The HOA rules set are very strict and many frown upon new families (with little kids) moving in. The perception is that these communities are not advertised as family communities, therefore, they are not. This is unacceptable. As a new family, in a brand new community we are being harrassed by homeowners who think they are in a "retirement" community. We are not felt very welcomed and feel very uncomfortable letting our child play outside our home and at the clubhouse. We also are not allowed to put up a swing set or little playground in our own backyard. BEWARE if you're a family looking for a new home.. ... More

I love the home, Divosta/Pulte however does NOT tell you when there are problems until they can't avoid telling you. Permitting, supplies; these delays are kept secret as long as possible. The building of our clubhouse and pool is a current example.
