DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Great experience, as a first time new construction homeowner. While the process is very intensive- it was not difficult. I appreciate the level of support provided to me.

Divosta/Pulte is systematically creating an entire neighborhood roads and all! They must be completing 5 new perfect homes a month!

The builder and colleagues were up front and well informed

We selected a "move in ready" home and it indeed was...down to the last detail. We were paired with a project manager who has been a Plus in terms of responsiveness. So far, our feeling is that DiVosta Homes sold us a well built home in a lovely, sought after community. We look forward to spending many years here.

I loved having a field manager who was informative, available and went over and above on several occasions.

Easy process to select options. Regular updates and helpful communication. Construction manager very knowledgeable. Still waiting for repairs to items found at closing. Only disappointment is the lack of accountability and coordination between the sales team. Me and new neighbor not happy with orientation of homes.

Our experience with Divosta was excellent, especially with our construction manager Vincent. We are extremely satisfied with purchase and feel we got good value for the price we paid. Our only complaint is the warranty department. Our customer care representative is terrible at responding to emails. When I send an email I wait one week for a response, if I don't get a response I resend the same email, sometimes more than once before I get a response. We have a pool and we are experiencing the same with the pool punch list, it has been over six weeks and the no items have been addressed on our original punch list. This is extremely frustrating, I feel now that we have closed we have been hung out to dry on our warranty items. This is the second home we have purchased from Divosta, our first purchase was in Naples and we got great customer service from the warranty department. This experience is unfortunate and will affect our decision to purchase any more properties from Divosta. ... More

Sales department was really good. So was our construction manager. The finish work is below average!! Love the community!!

Three of the PGT windows installed needed still need adjustment or calibration but I’m told this delay is on PGT who were forced to shut down for several weeks due to the pandemic. My initial thoughts were, DiVosta should have more influence with PGT due to the amount of business they provide. This delay is unacceptable for the consumer.

Overall pleased with build. A few hiccups on the way, but most was corrected.

Overall excellent, but could be better with prompt service request follow up.

I chose to purchase due to the prime location, lifestyle, great neighbors, and the fact that prices were trending sky high at the time. If I would have purchased a year earlier, I would have spent hundreds of thousands less. Be that as it may, I assumed a certain quality of workmanship for the amount paid as these are considered high-end homes. Unfortunately, that was not the case. First of all, all-plywood construction cabinets were not even an option. This was quite disappointing. Secondly, while I certainly expect to have some punchlist items at closing, I did not anticipate numerous pages of issues including scratched and dented appliances, gouged sliders, scratches on many windows, lack of a seal around a vent pipe which resulted in a leak, and much more. During construction there was also a lack of respect for the home as the workers threw their garbage in the pool as it was being built (even with a dumpster out front), and they did not cover the brand new flooring so spackle and paint splatter were everywhere on the floor. We also found electrical issues: one switch that was supposed to run a ceiling fan was not connected to anything and many outlets had loose grounds which resulted in outlets not working and needing to be redone. This was all found the first week. I can only hope that there is nothing worse that we haven't yet found. While I still love the location and neighborhood, and the people living here are wonderful, had I known the workmanship would be this sketchy, I likely would have passed and chosen to buy elsewhere. ...

Cleanly built and nice landscaping. Issues are slowly getting handled. Still awaiting a damaged door and an appliance after 7 weeks. Communication on when issues will get handled will be good to improve upon. Overall, nice home was built to the design specifications and we are loving it!

After taking ownership it’s been like herding cats but worse to address punch list items. Embarrassing for such a large company. It’s seems like the 90% rule is the norm. Strange at best.

When we moved in we expected everything to be pretty much in order and we have had one problem after another the quality of paint is terrible. Our toilet has been leaking since the day we moved in which was two months ago. The paint job is something to be desired.

Experience was pretty good so far but after 60 days of possession we’re still not certain what warranty work I’ll be done and when. Because of this I can’t rate the overall experience

The buying experience was excellent. Our salesperson Gladys was knowledgeable, informative and followed up quickly on all questions. She was a pleasure to work with. The construction group on the other hand rushed to close on the property with many items not finished or improperly completed. I have interior doors that do not close, the front door jam was destroyed and has to be replaced. I’m missing sod after closing over a month ago. The walls are bowed so badly, trim can’t hide the issue. I’m spending $24k to replace all of the interior doors since almost each one has been dropped, damaged or improperly painted. I would not recommend this builder or would I purchase again from this company. The construction manager assigned to my build spent a bunch of time telling me how important that I score 10’s on the survey I received from the builder but failed to complete the house. The workers throw food all over the place and discard trash in the house and yard even thou dumpsters are everywhere. The builder needs to raise their standards and police the poor quality (especially the dry wall and trim work) the workers are producing. Once I fix everything that the builder didn’t complete correctly, I’m selling the house. Very disappointed over all! ... More

I don’t even know where to start. I closed In May 14 2024. And I still can’t move in because Items on the punchlist or not yet repaired including the floors. I don’t even know why I opted to upgrade the flooring because the low quality flooring that was installed in my home is of such poor quality !!! And the mess the installers left, I can’t get it clean. It just looks like old shoddy floors which does Not make the home look like a new home . And then I also upgraded to get a bigger Extended patio with a close screen in porch That Is also another overpriced joke there’s more bugs inside my screen than if I stood outside, so obviously the screen wasn’t put up properly That all the bugs are able to get it. I can understand a a few bugs here and there, but not the amount that I get inside the area. The screen is supposed to keep the bugs out. It just seems that upgrading is not the thing to do because the materials that they use for upgrading is of poor quality!! I’m very disappointed adding to another issue is my white baseboards are bright white and then all my doors did not get painted so the doors look dingy against the baseboards. Then the contractors and cleaning ladies are very careless by pouring their dirty water into my white tile master shower and sinks , causing slow drainage and backup , Also with them pouring the dirty water I can’t get the stains off the white tile shower , So my shower looks like a dirty stain old Shower!!Overall, the tile installer were very sloppy in doing their job !!! And it doesn’t help that the quality of the tile is a low quality And then the careless way that they install things and do things it doesn’t give you a feel of excitement coming into what should be a nice clean new home!! Chris G and William D have tried to help and William keeps calling workers but they don’t show up and when they do show up they do a lousy job !!I So here it is August and I am still waiting. Can’t move my furniture in because I don’t want my furniture in and then I have to move it when they have to clean the floors properly it’s a mess and I’m very disappointed!! My family and I are still not moved in Due to waiting for things to get done properly if I had known that, it wasn’t going to be taken care of in a reasonable manner , I would’ve never signed closing documents until it was completed !! Very disappointed.!! P.S. Jennifer in Sales is Great she is very nice and professional! So home buying experience was Great!! Everything else is lacking even though Chris G and William D are also professional and nice but I am needing for them to step up and resolve all the issues that were found and noted to be completed, so that I can enjoy my new home!! Thank you and I hope my home issues can be resolved soon!! ... More

The builder takes the time to build an amazing shell then totally lets you down on the interior finish...just horrible!

100% virtual. Effortless and beautiful.

Our experience with DiVosta was great. We look forward to enjoying our new home.

Building a new home is a major undertaking. We appreciate the processes DiVosta has in place to handle the myriad details involved. Our construction manager, Dustin, was incredibly helpful, and truly cared about building a quality home. The construction manager, Ryan, also became involved, communicated promptly, and really made things happen so we could close on time. Dominic, our sales rep, was very knowledgeable and guided us in our decision-making. Our construction care manager, Richard, is on top of things, and has helped us with many problems already, without being dismissive! We are happy to be in Talon Preserve! ... More

Good experience, but overwhelming with all of the requirements to set up the home.

We closed on our home in October of 2023. Our home has exceeded our expectations. The house is very well built with a high degree of attention to detail. Our construction manager was driven to deliver a high quality product and paid attention to many small details. Our community is beautiful and extremely well designed.

Our initial DiVosta sales person was not responsive at all but eventually was replaced with a very good one. There were 'supply chain" long waits for materials to arrive. In one instance the material arrived and disappeared overnight, lengthening the build time. Our project manager was very good at communicating with us, and he was responsive to addressing any concerns that arose during the build. There were incentives during the build that would have lowered our cost but we were in included in them. Had we been, we would have rated the value for the price paid higher. We love our new home and the development as well. ... More
