Pulte Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Our sale rep. Zac was a huge help in finding this home. He stayed in contact with me for months until we finally sold our home and were able to make a move. He assisted us throughout the process. The home itself more than meets our needs and takes a while to adjust to. When we discovered some "issues", they were mostly addressed in a reasonable time. Brittany in their customer care department has been outstanding with listening and assisting us with the issues. As a senior couple in our 70's, we do find it to be a somewhat high learning curve to contact multiple Pulte, HOA and other portals/websites to request assistance and pay fees. We do recognize our lack of technical expertise limits our understand and ability to adjust but we still recommend our community and builder. ... More

Debbie and Chris were GREAT on everything.

Dave our salesman was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and well versed in every Pulte home we looked at. He is a valuable member to the Pulte team. I would strongly recommend seeking him out if you are thinking of looking into Arbor Oaks. He made the buying process actually fun. He always kept us in the loop of any developments in the community. We feel as though we made a good friend with Dave. Thank you again.

Chuck and Brittney have been responsive to any concerns we had. They made the move less stressful and are always available. They explained all of the features of the new Pulte home we bought. We are very satisfied with the newly built home by Pulte and look forward to living out our retirement lives here on a full time basis in Lakespur. Thank you!

From start to finish, the entire process—from our initial purchase to the final move-in—was smooth, well-organized, and stress-free. We always felt informed and supported every step of the way, which really helped ease the typical stress that can come with buying a new home. The quality and value of our new home exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, and the layout and finishes reflect both thoughtful design and high standards. We truly feel like we’ve made a solid investment in a home that will serve our family well for years to come. The builder’s team was outstanding. Everyone we interacted with was professional, friendly, and highly responsive. They followed through on their commitments, communicated clearly, and made sure we felt heard throughout the process. Any questions or concerns were addressed quickly and thoroughly. For potential home buyers, I would say this: you’re in excellent hands with this builder. They’re trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely care about delivering a high-quality home and a positive experience. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with them. ... More

They are terrible about taking responsibility after closing.

This home is beautiful & well-built. Pulte’s team provides the support needed & is responsive to any concerns. From the sales rep to project manager to warranty care manager, promises are kept to ensure the satisfaction of the customer to maintain the standards of quality expected. Please let me know where I can offer suggestions for any minor improvements for the future.

David was the best agent We ever worked with very knowledgeable,professional , and very attentive to our needs he is simply the best

It was a very smooth process Pulte homes are built with great quality and detail

I expected buying a Pulte home would. be the same. as the Pulte home I just sold. Nothing could be further from the truth. The house is wonderful. The construction is wonderful. I gates did not work but they were fixed quickly. The. community center is not ready. The HOA is not ready. All things will be fixed in time. I understand that, and the price was right...

We are five time new home buyers and are used to working through warranty on minor items, but we were never expecting to 1) have major issues with our electrical, HVAC, and garage slab, and 2) still have these issues unresolved after months of support.

The entire Pulte team was amazing! Shawn was incredible in helping to navigate our first punchlist for a new home. Highly recommend the Pulte experience overall!

Our experience with Pulte was excellent. Dave was great to work with. Shawn really put us at ease as he explained every detail about the house and was very responsive to our questions. So far, we are very satisfied with everyone we have encountered with Pulte.

I recently purchased a new home in Arbor Oaks. Overall I am very happy with the home. I do think the quality of the workman ship could improve. Even after inspecting the home before we closed and having a lot of cosmetic issue's fixes we are still finding a lot more that need to be fixed. Most of what we are finding is just sloppy work. Pulte is very responsible to getting items fixed but if they were to do a better quality job to start there would not be a need to come back to make these repairs.

There is nothing more refreshing than to count with a knowledgeable and friendly Project Manager. At PulteHomes in Arbor Oaks, Shawn is simply the best.

I had very bad experience with Pulte mortgage and my landscaping needs attention and I called many times and nothing.

Project Manager Shawn was great. Knowledgeable, experienced and highly responsive to our concerns. Pulte Mortgage was the absolute worst experience ever.

From start to finish Glen and Chuck help and guided us in the success of our new home. The mortgage and financial teams were easy to work with and very informative on what was needed for the acquiring of our dream home. Even after being here for over a month glen and chuck still say hello and make sure that we are not having any issues.

Have had a few issues, largest being that the fence around the property was torn down in the last hurricane - back in October. Being told construction on a new one won't even begin until January. 3 months without a fence when we're paying to be in a "gated community". Also were told no damage to our roof in the storm (we were out of town) only to find out - by accident - weeks later that a section of our roof had been torn off. Overall, Pulte has been pretty responsive when repair requests have been made, and we've had a couple. Overall, we love the home - at least we WILL once we have a fence back up! ... More

We purchased a quick move in home with Pulte in Lakewood Ranch FL and we love our new house. High quality craftsmanship and finishes throughout. There are a few imperfections but the managers have been wonderful about repairs and respond quickly with great attitudes. Would buy another house from them. Would recommend working with them if you’re thinking about buying a new construction.

We had such a good experience with Pulte. Our foreman Chuck went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us and didn’t settle for just “OK”. He continues to follow up and check in months after closing. We have really appreciated working with him!

The entire process was very smooth from initial purchase to final move-in. Our initial sales person Mike was very helpful every time we had a question at the beginning of the process. Our contractor Steve was honest and thorough and always responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

Quality of workmanship/materials needs improvement

Called in 2 issues so far and builder refuses to come and take care of issues, making excuses to refuse taking care of warranty work

The sales team and project managers are great, but things went downhill after closing. The quality of vendors/trades used to work on this home were of a low quality. The drywall is sloppy, my slider leaks/is missing panels to keep insects out and there is debris on top of all of my cabinets. There is paint all over my carpet and upstairs window exteriors. The warranty representatives are not helpful. I work in the home building industry and truly disappointed in my experience.
