DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

They could care less once they get their money. We have animal feces in our attic (and maybe a dead animal?) and they do not respond. We moved in and simple things like water to the dishwasher and faucet were Not turned on. The dryer wasn't even hooked up.

The people are amazing. Justin, Jessica And Kaitlyn Were terrific

Exceptional good experience. My wife and I have no complaints only positive things to say.

What a nightmare! I’ve built several homes over the years and have always enjoyed the experience. Building always has issues but as long as the builder is honest with you it all works out. There were many instances where Divosta/Pulte was not honest with me. So disappointing. The problems were not due to supply chain issues, it was the dishonesty from several employees of Divosta/Pulte. They just don’t seem to care about the homebuyer. You’re just a number. They certainly don’t make your home purchase an exciting time, just super stressful and unpleasant. The finished product has potential - just still have many major corrections to be fixed - after the closing. Such great home models and design choices! What a mess they make out of the process. ...

We were delayed and other houses who signed after us were completed before our house. We could not get reply’s from our construction manager. I asked if he was ok or happened to pass away…..seriously. Construction of the house is very poor quality. Wall are not in square or level. Communication was bad. When we moved in it was not clean. There was garbage laying around, cigarette butt’s in the lanai. Worst experience I’ve had buying a house in my lifetime. Pulte should be ashamed with the product they are delivering.

Our realtor was a good person. I feel since I purchased a less expensive home my home building took a backseat to the more expensive homes even though I was among the first 15 to purchase a lot. After closing which was pushed out months, my wife and I spent the entire first week having contractors fix what should have been completed prior to close. Too many construction managers and the last one did a terrible job with making sure everything was correct. Hence, our first week of contractors in our home everyday. I have to say Gene Knoll the customer service rep did a superb job cleaning things up and arranging for contractors. If you guys lose him you’re in trouble! ... More

Joe did a great job in a very tough time frame for building projects. He was very responsive to our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Joe

I was never shown a selection of pools available to select. Seems as though the design professional was discouraging us due to the backlog pool company had. We ended up with a standard pool which was not what we preferred.

We cannot praise Jane (Divosta sales rep) highly enough. Daniel, the design consultant was a delight. Sadly, we cannot say the same for the closing experience. It was very unprofessional and whether the blame lies with the title company or someone at Divosta they coordinate with, or both, we cannot say with any certainty. But for the terrible closing experience, the overall rating would have been higher. As the title indicates, the punch list was long but Aurelio (one of the persons responsible for punch lists) has worked hard to get the subs back to complete their work properly. He also gets very high praise from us. He and Jane are the reasons for 5 stars on Responsiveness and Trustworthiness. We are 45 days post-closing and while there are a few significant items left, those trades are scheduled to be here in the next 30 days; and based upon Aurielo's efforts to date, we are optimistic. Friends who have purchased from other major builders in the Sarasota-Manatee region seem to be waiting longer than us. It is easily discerned that the overall quality of our Divosta home (once the punch list items are completed) is better than any we have seen in this price range. We cannot give the quality 5 stars on its own, but we would give only 2 or 3 stars to the end product of the two other builders we have seen in this price range. Hence, the 5 stars for value. ...

Kaitlyn has been very responsive to my punch list but i did encounter a problem with the salesperson during buying phase. Bottom line i love my new house

Despite repeated attempts, I was never in contact with anyone who had any real decision making authority

Still a work in progress but we understand some products are not available but we are kept informed from the Divosta staff.

Overall, the builders lived up to their reputation. Ramifications from COVID understandably contributed to delays in work and product availability timelines. The quality of the workmanship for particular finishes may reflect the time crunches caused by such delays or limitations in the skill of some workers.

We love the home and community. We also fully understand that most of the delays were a result of the pandemic. That said, during the build, communication should have been better. There were simple solutions that would have improved the experience.

Patrick and Ryan have been great during the construction period and cooperation after closing. Both have been very responsive and timely on issues.

Workmanship on the home is very poor. Pulte does not build homes like they use to.

We are so happy with our new home with DiVosta homes. The floor plan is perfect for our needs. Everyone from sales, design, building supervisor, closing and follow up customer service rep following the saleswas fantastic…Will be completely satisfied when our pool issues are addressed by pool company.

The building managers work very hard. They are short staffed. They do try hard.

Pulte was terrible from the builders to the mortgage company to the insurance company. They had numerous things not done when we closed. That are still not fixed !!!! I would never use Pulte again or recommend then to anyone these

We love our new home, with the open concept and the pool.

It’s a quality built home.

The sales person went above and beyond to make this deal happen

Brittnay from warranty has been persistent and effective in addressing our “ punch list” in a timely way.

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.

Most of the work is great, but some of the contractors are sloppy and you need to be on top of them to get everything right.
