DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Air Conditioner stopped working after 3 weeks. Repaired under warranty

Overall positive. Sales staff excellent. Regina was great, she also assisted us with our first purchase. Once Walk thru was completed there was a lag dealing with the customer service group. Not as helpful with getting problems resolved.

Really hard to do a complete review since we just purchased. I will say our sales rep, project manager and title people performed above and beyond our expectations. Regarding the home itself ,so far so good and we hope it all works out

Overall, our experience was very good throughout the process and now being in our home for a couple of weeks and surviving 2 hurricanes, our home held up to the test! Our only issue would be during the Design Phase. As important as this step in the process is, we believe more time should be spent with us making final decisions. We were in no time-line crunch but our decisions needed to be made with little time to delay or make changes. The other frustration we had was with Coast-to-Coast Pools and responses to our pool build. If they pride themselves with creating a great experience to this BIG investment to our home, they should have provided more attention to details. Jessica in Sales was very good and communicative throughout the process while Chas responded to our concerns when the build was underway! ... More

The entire process was fairly straightforward until the end. Divosta Sales Manager was very persistent to close on the home when it wasn’t even completed. Being out of town this makes it very difficult to continue adjusting schedules and travel. Divosta should ensure house is completed prior to setting a closing date.

I have 2 exterior doors that were improperly installed. Jams are way out of plumb. Can’t fix that unless it’s done over. They won’t do it.

There were definitely some challenges, missed build finish dates, mortgage issues, some minor quality issues, landscaping irrigation issues. But overall we are very happy with the move

Love the development and quality could be much improved

Beginning to settlement was fairly smooth. Follow-up to issues was slow

Be patient wait and see

Many quality features built into the home and in some areas, less than desirable. Paver brick driveway, patio and tile roofs are quality features. Windows leave much to be desired. Low emissivity glass to reduce solar heat energy should be essential in Florida but clear glass is what's provided which puts a greater demand on the air conditioning system. They provide hurricane shutter panels that need to be installed for protection. Installation is not a simple job. Hurricane rated windows would have been a better alternative. There are numerous little things that may not pop out when looking at the model but become obvious when until you move in. ... More

The salesman I worked with was fabulous and became my point person when my project manager didn't step up. I heard from him once during the building of my villa and not again until the walk through. If it wasn't for my sales manager I would have been in limbo. The villa looks great and I found very few things that need to be tweaked.

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

Closing delayed by two months due to construction management issues.

People are helpful and professional but the trades Take too long to correct mistaked

Sales staff were attentive at first, but not as much after we signed the contract. Construction manager was outstanding throughout the build process and even after closing making sure all punch list items were taken care of promptly.

Pulte field Sups accessibility and pursuance to fix issues ie Ryan, Jon Joe

They do well communicating regarding timelines

The home is beautiful! Non working toilet. Microwave pours out smoke. Windows don’t open. Waiting for correct refrigerator. Drywall and paint demonstrate poor workmanship. Requested tub with whirlpool. Denied. Required to purchase a tub I am unable to use. Sink drains do not hold water. Pulte Homes is trying to help with mechanical issues.

So far the experience has been very good. Since we have not been able to occupy our new home yet we can't make a completely accurate assessment on all aspects of the criteria listed above. There was one outstanding issue that has not been resolved yet (a damaged window screen).

List all of your concerns and report them to them to your project managers so they can be addressed. Many of the flaws will be a quick fix. The most urgent problems will be attended to first so they don't become a major issue in the future. When the staff plans to do a repair at your home, have them give you a scheduled date and time. This way you will be prepared to be at home and ready to assist if necessary.

The sales agent and building supervisor were fantastic. Pulte cuts corners on quality and the landscaping they put in is poor for $500,000 + home. Their communities are very nice but KEEP an eye on your home while it is being built.

We were excited and eager to move into our new home at IslandWalk. However our disappointment started with a call from Pulte Mortgage indicating that that they needed a last minute form to close, with less than a week before our scheduled close. “We’re really busy right now,” was the explanation. Finally get keys to our dream home, and immediately notice the lack of attention to details: the final cleaning was terrible - dust and grout on tile floors, paint in carpet. Appliance handles were assembled without removing plastic - now we have scraps that we have to try to remove. CAT 6 outlets not labeled, garage door opener poorly wired. Tile floor is uneven - poorly done. Overall - meh. ... More

Main problem is cardboard on corner of master bathroom is still there and during walk through she said it would taken care of. Several problems on construction has been detected but was told to wait until the 11th month to report them. Also 7 or 8 bushes are dead in our landscaping
