DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Post closing and punch list is huge. Waited a long time for mirrors and shower glass. Still waiting on many other missing and repair needed items to complete before we can actually feel settled in our new home.

From initial excitement, promise and cheerful messaging playing throughout the model homes, quickly became silence and lack of urgency from sales, project managers and broken promises. As our home languished through a series of changing project managers, and lack of any type of communication of timelines, our home disappeared for 60 days as other homes purchased after ours, closed and became occupied. More disappointing, it was later stated that our home should never have been released, as pointed out by a Sr. Field Manager, who quote, "this is not a DiVosta quality type product home". The final insult, upon closing after a 17 month process, a plumbing system that was inoperable on our first night after close. To date, we continue to experience a lack of ownership for punch-list issues, and any sense of urgency to satisfy a customer. To that end, a detail as important as our DiVosta "Celebration" Walk Through Document with our Project Manager was never signed by this owner. As stated, this demonstrates the lack of ownership, attention to detail and responsibility throughout the build process. And with that, no accolades here from this disappointed owner in BeachWalk. ... More

Ryan our point of contact with any minor issues we encounter has been great at resolving and addressing the issues. Kudos to his professionalism. Thank you.

It is a disappointing experience because this is our last home, our retiring home, and besides being the smallest, and the third built it was the worst experience we have had as home owners. I honestly would not recommend Divosta.

We developed a solid relationship with Justin, our construction manager. his guidance and support through the construction process was very helpful as we all dealt with material and personnel shortages due to Covid as well as the destruction from hurricane Ian.

The home will be terrific at some point it has many issues and quality of workmanship is not good.

We just retired and searched Florida for the ideal place for our "winter home". Beachwalk by Manasota Key is the only place we found where we are 2 miles from the beach, and it is an any age development with great amenities. The building process was guided by Nadine, our constructions manager and our Salesperson Linda was also very helpful. I would also suggest a realtor to guide you through the process. We have a lovely well built home in a great location with wonderful neighbors.

The home took 7 months longer than targeted closing date, but that was a supplies and labor issue. Our Field Rep, Dustin, was attentive and always answered our questions in a timely manner, but the workmanship is shoddy, at best. There is no pride in the finished product and certainly no quality control at all. A supervisor should look at work done and correct most mistakes before closing. Our pat answer was "It is on backorder." We love our home but there are so many issues that should have been addressed prior to closing. In the long run that would save DiVosta money because there would not be 50+ items on a Punch List after ownership. ... More

My project manager, Pat, was outstanding. DiVosta out of goodwill fixed some of the damage from hurricane Ian even though they didn’t have to. The entire process from buying, choosing options and closing was seamless. Everyone was very helpful and polite. Highly recommend.

Beautiful homes, great people within the community. Lots of pain and suffering to get to completion. Deleted over 5 months taking T total build time of 15 months. Hard to get repairs. Imported timely after sale closed. Disappointed with all the commitments by Divista that didn’t happen. Divosta is still telling home buyers unrealistic delivery durations.

I'm still waiting for the pool company to do some replacement of pavers and to get the hot water heater working. We closed on the house 8/10/22 and can not use the hot tub because the heater does not work.

The home and community are gorgeous, but the lack of pride in the workmanship is a disaster. I know times are bad finding proper trades, but you need to do better!! Plus once the home is built trying to get your punch list address is a disgrace. It is disorganized, and the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing. Very frustrating!

Poor quality, basically we closed on a house that DiVosta should be embarrassed to call "completed". My bad for going thru with the closing. Now we have blue tape everywhere to note the warranty issues, which are slow and so far issues they say are fixed are clearly not fixed. Beachwalk is an awesome location with awesome neighbors, but DiVosta has been a big disappointment unfortunately.

Beautiful house, but too many serious issues like water leaks (before the storm). Not enough experienced personnel to oversee the process and ensure quality. Communication slips when things get busy and homeowner is left to fend for themselves. Their building process can not deal with supply chain issues in a systematic , orderly process although the managers do their best. Warranty issues take a long time to get resolved.

We realize that building a home comes with many little moving parts. So we appreciate the effort of Joe and Kaitlyn, who is taking care of the little things that need to be done.Special kudos to Joe who always answered our emails and provided us with timely updates on our home. Over, the quality of the build is excellent.

Jim John Carissa thank god for them they were great with the process of getting us into our home.

Jessica and Justin were excellent to work with. They were both extremely quick to respond to our needs and always very nice.

The construction process was the antithesis of the communicative engaging process shown in the promotional videos. I'm an architect and the DiVosta policies and techniques don't pass construction 101. Who builds a house, brings in doors, trim, and cupboards and then leaves the finished house in an environment that is not temperature or humidity controlled for June and July? Drywall, painting, and carpentry are terrible.

We knew we were building at a difficult time due to supply chain issues and labor shortages, but the experience was mostly positive. Our CM, Justin, was great through the process. Our salesperson, Linda, stepped in and got us through a few rough spots. Biggest negative was the closing process. Unrealistic expectations were set. Closing agents insisted we be ready to transfer funds when we knew closing was impossible. Seemed very one sided. Builder wanted there final payment at first opportunity without any regard for the planning necessary on the part of the customer. Never really knew when closing would finally happen until 48 hours before it actually did, and even then there was a fiasco about the C of O and a reluctance to release keys, even though builder had our money. That process needs to be looked at, as it tarnished and otherwise positive experience. Without our sales agent, Linda, getting involved, I do not know what would have happened. ... More

Words and actions align with Divosta. Buying during the end of Covid, the great "resignation", and supply issues in every industry, DiVosta did a great job communicating and finishing the job.

Poor quality. Trades rushed through to get closing date. Numerous issues needed to be addressed by warranty after closing. Many neighbors are sharing the same experience. DiVosta needs to slow down and make sure the quality of the finished product meets consumer expectations. I would not recommend this builder until they get priorities in line.

Slow and unresponsive especially after closing. Delayed closing. Poor communication. Not at all customer centered

Great experience-Linda, our sales rep has and continues to do a great job taking care of our needs. Justin did a great job keeping us informed during the home building process. Gene is also doing a great job taking care of our after closing needs.

Our home is basically nice but there are many follow-up items waiting to be addressed. The process took more that twice as long as we were told up-front and proactive communication regarding the ongoing status did not happen. We had to ask. I have never built a house before but the process was stressful.

I purchased a home from Divosta in Jul 2021 and closed in June 2022. During the process I had to initiate calls to get updates and have questions answered from the salesman and the project manager. Often I got responses after days (if any) saying that they were on vacation or had the day off. It has been impossible to get any problems with their website for home owners resolved even after tons of emails. There seems to be a breakdown in communication between Divosta and it's customers.. The quality of the workmanship is average. There are areas where the stucco is missing on the exterior, window screens are broken or bent and the sliding glass door is not installed correctly. The door issue was brought up when we did the pre-drywall inspection and it was never addressed. The materials are not great quality. I could purchase better quality floor tiles at a large home improvement store. The door handles for the sliding glass doors are low quality. ... More
