DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Moved in around March 24, 2020 just when corona virus hit....all worked out well and everyone at Divosta assisted in accomplishing a few items that need attention. All in all a great experience...

I would highly recommend purchasing a Divosta home. I purchased my villa in Hammock Preserve and closed in April 2020. The process was easy and the team of representatives are extremely professional and excellent to work with. I love my home and I feel like I made a very good decision!

Wonderful floorplans and upgrade choices

This is the third home we have built with DiVosta and couldn't be happier!

From start to finish, great experience.

We were fortunate to have a great site supervisor, Joe, who kept a watchful eye over every little detail of the build as we were in Michigan during the whole process. When we arrived for the walk thru we were blown away by the details that had all been taken care of. I feel the only negative of the whole experience was the short window we had to decide on all the details of our home and the few choices we were given. To plan your whole home in two hours was not an experience I felt that warranted the amount of money we were spending.

This is our 3rd foray into new home contruction. I would say it was our best. From sales to construction manager all were responsive and helpful. Would not have changed anything to date with the process. I would however say that for my cascadia I would have preferred another option to add more cabinets or a cabinnetted pantry rather than just the shelves with the door. Given gourmet kitchens are what you market, that is an option I would have upgraded to.

Purchasing process was easy and pleasant, providing good value for the money. However quality suffered from rushed or inexperienced subcontractors. DiVosta's own quality control caught and corrected most issues before closing. Other concerns have been addressed quickly through the warranty process.

We are pretty happy here.

Working with Will has been a pleasure. He is very responsive, thorough and holds the contractors responsible for all punch list items.

Chuck, the construction manager, has been amazing going above and beyond to rectify any issues both pre and post construction. He communicated throughout the entire process, is easy to work with and understands my concerns, responding almost immediately. Jessica C. in sales is wonderful to work with. She helped me obtain my lot soon after I visited Beachwalk and kept me updated during the construction process. She remains available for help and information even after I have moved in.

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.

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.
