DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

At this time, the above "stars" are all I can give. Overpriced homes and we haven't lived here for more than 6 weeks and already our HOA has gone up. Our sales manager didn't even meet and greet us to give us a "congratulation" and hand us our keys and papers and now we fell through the cracks with HOA issues. Our construction manager did the best he could with vendors not coming by to get the house in order for the closing. Our warranty person is useless. He doesn't even remember coming to our home and meeting us to discuss things that need repaired and looked into. Today, he just sent me a schedule of repairs that is wrong. We are frustrated to say the least. Landscaping is included. It's just little $10 plants for the most part.....fillers. We spent $550,000+ on our retirement home and feel like the "little" guy in the million dollar neighborhood. ... More

Very poor quality of workmanship and materials. Poor value for price. Sales team unresponsive to needs and concerns. Untrustworthy.

If you are out of state, your CM will determine your satisfaction. My 1st CM was unattentive & NEVER communicated. Sloppy sub work caused massive delays. When he was replaced, I assumed he was fired, but he was promoted! My 2nd CM was fired after 4-5 months after doing absolutely nothing. My 3rd CM did push construction to completion and actually communicated. However, after a month of occupancy I am finding small examples of sloppy paint or caulk work that surprise me. A 2 page email to management mid way through construction detailing my frustration got no response. Overall construction took 25 months from signing to closing. ... More

Sales person was great, structure of home was very good, but finishes from drywall on were done very poorly. Construction manager did not manage the end of the build and was unresponsive to our concerns and/or willing to make things right. Work of the subs was absolutely substandard.

We had many delays during the home building experience which stretched to 21 months. We went through 3 or 4 construction managers, with only the last one being responsive. Most of the items we identified on the final walk through were not remedied before closing. The process for choosing cabinets countertops flooring, etc. is much too opaque and rushed. Also, it is disappointing the many items that are tied together such as cabinet pulls and bathroom faucets.

Overall a great experience. Amazing location, product and service.

NEVER BELIEVE WHAT A DIVOSTA/PULTE EMPLOYEE TELLS YOU!!!!!!!

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

This is our 2nd Divosta/Pulte home and this is this was an exceptional experience. Minor issues after move in were addressed immediately by our super Shaun Coleman. Quality build, (we have built 6 homes from scratch)

From the very start through move-in, the experience went well. Very organized, including showroom, website, information along the way and at closing.

Our CM was very responsive to our questions & concerns & helped us close 10 days earlier than our original closing date.

Our salesperson Jessica was amazing! Always responsive and respectful even when replying to the smallest of issues. Our construction manager Chas was also very responsive to all issues as they arose.

The buying process went smoothly, our saleslady Linda was great at keeping us posted along the way as was our CM Austin.

This is my third new home and probably my last (only because of age) and the most expensive. For the price it’s quality is not worth it. I guess we didn’t realize it until we moved in and saw the inexpensive materials and incomplete construction of the end result. At walk through, there were numerous things that were still not done and STILL are not done. Lucky for me I have a handy guy that did complete all the things that needed to be done. It really is a shame that for a home of these prices, you don’t receive a better quality product. And no, I wouldn’t rather not anyone see this review.

DiVosta builds hundreds of homes at a time rather than one at a time. As a result no home gets the individualized attention to detail that would make it a great home. Examples include mediocre sheet rock workmanship, scant landscaping and greater thought could have gone into the placement of recessed lighting and HVAC vents. Post-closing corrections could have been significantly reduced by greater care during the construction process. So my conclusion is “good but not great.”

House was neat and clean All extras and finishes were completed and well done Some cosmetic touch ups must be completed( ( 30 day list)

Sales experience was very good. Design Center experience was excellent. Most of the construction process went very well until the end, expertly managing the material and labor shortages of the time. In the end, we were forced to close before the house was move-in ready. Over a month later, it is still not move-in ready. You can see where they rushed to finish it, and the work is sloppy. There are many issues with the finish in certain areas that still need to be corrected, and the responsiveness on completing the work is lacking. It really takes the joy out of getting a new home.

From the salesperson to the people involved in helping customize the selections, then the construction manager and the support, our experience has been all positive. The closing could have been a bit more efficient but all in all a great experience.

We looked at almost fifty homes before deciding to buy in Talon Preserve. The sales process was very low pressure and professional. Chris was as super helpful and kept us informed every step of the way. We bought the home sight unseen and it was better than we thought it would be when we arrived last week. Five stars DiVosta!

We purchased a home already planned and were unable to make changes. It was a crazy time in the market. Despite many requests from our salesperson we were never given the design center specifics. We were not kept up to date on the building process. Our construction manager changed mid-point and we were not made aware of that either. We are hopeful once we start our 30 day period issues will be addressed in a timely fashion. I would say most of our issues are minor, but time will tell. Our side yard is a swamp and the issue has not been resolved, the landscaping company has signed off that this is not an irrigation issue. We have a dead tree in the yard which has been reported and also no resolution. Timely communication from sales and construction would have helped. I assume they are overwhelmed. ... More

My best advice to home buyers is to have patience and a handyman.

So far so good and very responsive

Be patient wait and see

The purchase of our house was very well done. The Pulte Title and Closing departments were very responsive, helpful, professional and easy to work with. Also, our construction manager, Chris, was great to work with, personally committed to completing a high quality home, responsive and ensured that we were happy with the house at the closing.

Our first sale lady Faith was excellent!! Our Construction Manager Justen S was excellent. The only two they I can say we trusted. The 2nd salesperson assigned to us (Linda S) was always condescending, like i was a burden for her to deal with, and she has me banned from sales center where the HOA office is located! how is that? how would you feel after spending 3/4 of a million dollars?
