Pulte Homes Reviews in Fort Myers, FL

Pulte proved to be a solid builder who provided a great product. I wish communication was a little better throughout the process and that the subcontractors were supervised closer, however I would happily buy another home from Pulte.

Marc was great during the buying process

Good experience

The whole process was great !!! Jared was simple the best !! He was on top of everything and resolved anything quickly. Everyone seemed so pleasant, and extremely hard workers ,

It withstood hurricane Ian for which we are grateful. Numerous little things the need touching up to turn a good experience into a great experience

Easy buying process Pulte agents are great. Being in the construction business for over 30 years the quality is lacking for the value paid.

Building process was good. The 30 day warranty is Not Great and disappointing especially for what I paid for it. It’s a who is responsible?!! Or you accepted! This is not right

I find myself keeping a spreadsheet for warranty repairs, chasing when repair people don’t show, and am now sending a weekly update on what is outstanding, not scheduled, etc. I already have a full time job and don’t really need more work honestly. Accountability or your partners is critical and accountability of Pulte to manage the repairs to be done. I should not have to chase these on a daily basis between my own conference calls for work. We are home everyday working and schedule our work around folks coming and the rate of showing up is 25% then I have to chase it myself.

Overall the experience was good. Better communications from signing contract to final closing could be improved. I've learned a lot more of what to expect from owners.

We walked into the sales room for Corkscrew Estates and met Sales Rep Steve P that pretty much decided right then and there that we would be buying in Corkscrew Estates Of course there were facets of the properties that also sold us on buying there (lot size, no amenities etc). But back to Steve P he was so helpful full of knowledge and friendliness we went through the purchasing process without any problems. I’m not the most computer or tech savvy but Steve P was always willing and the most patiently to help us out therefore making the buying part very easy and also correctly done. In the end we did not feel were we dealing with a Sales Rep but rather a friend. Can’t say enough for LeRoy also for making sure all our warranty issues were taken care of immediately. ... More

Some Great: Pulte Title (Rose), Pulte River Hall (Amanda), Building crew manager (thank you Jared!), PROBLEM And Major Challenge: Pulte "back office" has their own schedule and for a cash sale on a Pulte Builder Spec Home ALREADY COMPLETED MONTHS PRIOR - they tried to put us into their "box" instead of expiditing when there is NO MORTGAGE , house "blessed" by construction & head of River Hall community, nor any other possible delays tried to make us wait with the rest & tried to delay our closing. THANK GOODNESS Amanda (River Hall), Rose (Pulte Title), Jared (Bldg mgr), Kyle (on site Pulte sales rep) and all the staff in the customer service "phone bank" that helped me get WORD to the "back office" to GET IT DONE OR THE SALE WOULD BE CANCELLED. Well everyone EXCEPT the back office was great to work with, there needs to be some differentiation or at least 1 person (there are MANY) in the "back office" of Pulte that could be devoted to buyers in my circumstances (cash & home ready to move in) that the 3 week agreement for us to close SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CHALLENGE and taken so much of my time & all the extra efforts (THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM!!!!) to get it closed. ...

I liked the interactive floorpan with measurements along with the furniture tools. This was helpful to plan for an unbuilt home. Seeing a model with furniture is also helpful. I feel like the home is solid/well built. The tile floor was done perfectly but the bathrooms are still being worked on. If I had to do it over again I would have chosen the tub shower route - the huge expensive walk in shower is not worth the money. There is no hand held shower, and it feels like a waste of space. I also thing the secondary bedrooms are small and the master closet and dining area are huge - space could be allocated better but overall it works. I did like the option to have the three car garage not be tandem and have the third bedroom with its own bath but it also feels like a totally separate pert of the house - could be good could be bad. I really wanted a fenced area for my dogs and thought I had that figured out - after closing and after the landscaping was already in, it became much harder. I would have done my pool differently. I think there could be more communication between the builder and the other entities that are brought in - pool folks, tech guys, etc. The tech guys are the most confusing as they have different people contacting me with different company names and their services and deposits are hard to keep straight. If I had seen the model with the fence around the pool with grassy area, I would have really liked that and would have just screened in the lanai. The upgrade items are pricey! Overall I am figuring things out and happy with the home. Would have felt better to go slower since we had so much time anyway. I ended up using Pulte Mortgage but it wasn't till the last minute that they offered a better deal than a competitor. Was stressful to have to gather all my updated documents at that point as I was packing to move. ... More

I think pulte prioritizes their build to sell over people coming in to build from scratch but that’s my real only gripe . The team I worked with to build my house especially my project manager Dylan was absolutely amazing. He always was very attentive and responsive almost immediately. Even now a couple things ( nothing wild ) have popped up and he still has been involved . Highly recommend their building team . Worth every penny .

Good response team, courteous and friendly

Our site superintendent Javier was great to work with. Any issues we had were taken care of promptly and professionally

Our construction managers have been very helpful since we do not live in our new home yet and are in another state. When there have been issues or deliveries they have been very helpful to us.

Happy with process. Will buy again

Dont use there closing people

Some finish work amateurish. Appliances very basic.

We love the model, the process was quite simple and the post move in team have been extremely responsive and helpful (Ryan is the customer relations person). Our construction super (Steven Chipman) has been wonderful as well. Our comment would be - we would encourage you to step the quality control checks prior to move in. While your team has been fantastic in responding, we think that many of the items could have been detected on the front end. Last, the only major concern has been around the overall paint job --- the painters were not good. Simply stated. We have shared this feedback with Pulte. ... More

We closed on our home last month. Being the first home in a new development can have it issues, the Pulte team was responsive to everything.

* McKenzie in sales - PERFECT * Sebastian in Construction Project Management - PERFECT * Pulte Mortgage - Horrible experience. Worst ever. * Construction Quality - Very High * After close warranty effort - so far very good with few issues to deal with

Good experience and nice product.

For the most part it was a great experience, building here with Pulte. Everyone was great EXECPT dealing with Pulte mortgage.. They are the worst and ruined my home buying and build Looking back I would NEVER use them!!! .. Up until the day before they kept asking for the same things 3 and 4 times when they had it.. Had me running around during the whole process and again up until 2 days before the closing.. I was injured and disabled in the line of duty so it wasn't easy,( Not sayin boo-hoo for me ) I told them you have everything yet.. then threatened me a few times with.. if you don't resend this or that paperwork you will not close!!! The pressure was disgraceful AND UNNECESARY !!!.. Not happy at all with Pulte mortgage and they ways they worked, This is how you treat the disabled?!?!. ... More

overall very happy with our Pukte home
