DiVosta Homes Reviews

From the first time we entered the sales office until the day of closing, we loved our experience. Our sales rep Christy was absolutely THE BEST. After that we met, and got to know our pm Ky. Again The best to work with as he was responsive to our questions. Lastly, Angelina, our warranty representative, was also not just reactive to our needs but was easy to deal with and seemed very good at her job of scheduling and coordinating our warranty issues. The downside of our experience was/ is the poor quality of the drywall and paint. It seems that the painters did zero prep and simply slapped paint unevenly on the walls. No wall sanding, no wood sanding and pitiful quality. After 50 years in construction, I thought I had seen it all but if Divosta hired properly qualified painters, warranty issues would be minimal. There are some larger issues but Angel seems to be addressing them in a positive manner and with a smile. Christy and Ky remain and still, after closing, respond to any items we wish to discuss, these three are the main reason for the high reviews while almost exclusively, the painting is the reason for the less than stellar review on the finish ...

Divosta built my house in about 6 months. Very exciting process from beginning to end. A little disappointed with the project manager that oversaw my construction. He was no longer there at the end and there were issues that it was too late to be resolved. Other issues were resolved immediately by the quality manager. My advice is to stay on top and ask as many questions as possible to your PM if you are not sure.

My sales person and construction manager were outstanding and easy to communicate with. The closing went very smoothly, and so far the warranty people have been responsive to the few issues I have had. I do believe that there should be a credit given for appliances if you wish to have your own favorite brands installed. And a couple personal peeves of mine is that the "texturing" of the walls is terrible. Also there is no choice except for flat paint for finishing walls. Otherwise the basic construction of the house is rock solid, the general layout of the neighborhood was very well thought out and the amenities are great. ... More

GREAT experience with all those involved. Home is well built,amazing construction,from a dirt plot to an oasis was just amazing. A big shoutout to Denise who got this adventure rolling and ALL those whom we have met or spoke too thru out. THANK YOU. Ellen & Steve

We built a home in Florida while living in another state. We received pictures on the build as major changes occurred. This was exciting to us. There were no major items wrong with the house when it was finished. Several small issues but all are being worked.

Our Project manager was awesome and extremely helpful and responsive. Community is great

Being new to buying a newly built home, entering the shopping experience was intimidating, especially when coming from 1000 miles away. During varying experiences in viewing area developments SW Florida we encountered a down-to-earth salesman at one of the last developments we searched, following a long detailed online search. The salesman at BeachWalk at Manasota Beach greeted us genuinely, giving us plenty of time to delve into the many questions we had. Beau gave us a fully immersive view of the area using an online view- which he did better than anyone I had seen. This gave us precise answers as we sat in his office. He then took us out to view the construction area in a golf cart, pointing out the various areas we had viewed from a computer screen. And finally he convinced us we indeed could afford this endeavor and confirming our hopes. The buying process was fairly easy, especially using online documentation 1000 miles away. I found the BeachWalk development well thought-out, benefiting from DiVosta's vast experience in creating such developments. The home options were extensive and the designing process complete. I expected far more confusion and questions during the whole process of buying a new home 1000 miles away. We moved to the area as the home was just being started, enabling us to view the building process up close and personal. Being this was just after a hurricane had impacted the area, the building trades and supply lines were detrimentally impacted. Nonetheless, work continued and we were able to view the effectiveness of the design features of our new home in combating the threat of hurricanes and other natural disasters. This made me feel comfortable in moving here and the subsequent value of updated building codes, especially in cost of insurance. The home construction was well planned and mostly on time considering the obstacles- again a benefit of a large corporation in acquiring staff and material very much in demand. Our construction manager Justin was very responsive as the building progressed. I have been pleased with the end result and response to any finishing details encountered along the way. I look forward to watching the development grow and the surrounding community grow in return. ... More

There are some trees in the backyard poorly placed. The reason was it is designated there by it blocks the back view of the house.

So far so good and very responsive

Our experience with Pulte has been great. Justin R and Pat, Our construction managers were the best! This is a beautiful subdivision.

builder very responsive. Finish work could be a little better.

My new home at Talon Preserve is wonderful. The experience with the staff has been great! The reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is because we didn't close on time (only by a week) and after we moved in we noticed a few things weren't attended to....some paint drips, caulk on the tile, etc.. Overall, I would buy from DiVOSTA again.

Great build and support thru the build. Warranty group/ responsiveness not so good.

Overall, pleased with the result. Some of the subcontractors were sub-pay and slapdash in their haste.

It’s been great so far

Good quality but everything is an additional option. They seem to have decided on what is best for them and just act on that. Plus options not well explained. Difficult to understand what the cost of options are. Not a good final inspection either as they missed standard promises - like outlet in the entertainment center not there & doorbell didn’t work. Minor comfort issues like minimal natural ventilation & needed door handles on large slider doors , plus no easy clean out for dryer vents a bad design. Tight quarters design, eg, garage doors could be just a foot wider for 2 cars & distance between homes just another foot would be better. Again, their philosophy is good enough, but not exceptional. For what you pay, I believe the standard options should be nicer. The follow up on installation check list was pretty responsive. ... More

Needs improvement on after closing issues like dryers

Tim, our construction and quality build, reviewer, was very nice and response to all issues, we liked all his help and comments, pre-closing. He was also very helpful post closing. this was very important to us.

I’ve had many homes, all NEW builds. This by far is the best. Great community, incredible lot, excellent floor plan and wonderful neighbors. Can’t ask for anything else. Very happy with our choice.

There was a problem with oven that required 3 calls and 2 visits to resolve. The FM had been aware of problem BEFORE Celebration, but did not address it.

We are pleased to have recently moved into our new DiVosta home. Thanks for all the hard work and effort. We are pleased with the outcome and are looking forward to many years of enjoyment!

Overall the house is what we expected, just minor repairs needed to be done. Great communication with Divosta team (sales, repairs). Happy with my new house

We have been enjoying our beautiful new home.

IslandWalk is a great place to live The home designs are varied. The inside design is poor as cabinets are very small, closets are small, causes limited storage that you have to spend additional money on once you move in. No pocket doors make for poor design as one door opens to block a door behind it? Very odd and poorly designed. In a positive note construction was right on time! The supervisor in charge of my home building was Carson, I must say he was easy to work with, very responsive to phone calls from me and really explained everything before, during and even after I moved in I would call him, he always responded quickly and always concerned, he deserves a raise!! ...
