Pulte Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

This was the first time I went thru new construction on a home. Pulte made the process easy and enjoyable. They kept me informed during the entire process. Our home was completed right within their predicted timeframe. Our home is beautiful and any issues we have found will be addressed in a timely manner.

Response time was great. Craftsmanship was a little off

Overall, we love our new home and everyone we dealt with from Pulte Homes was amazing. However, there were just a couple of things that “bothered” us. The first thing is that we were a little disappointed in the shortage of options in the catalog for selecting materials and finishes. We just felt for the price of the home, there should be a little more variety or more potions available to the buyer. Second, I think a little more attention should have been placed in cleaning the home when the build was completed. I noticed some sort of clear residue and white caulking on the floors throughout the home, and to spend a few days getting on the floor to scrub and remove the substances. Didn’t really expect to be doing this upon moving into our new home. Other that, everything else is great and the above mentioned “issues” are very minor and wouldn’t be show stoppers. ... More

We built a Pulte home during the height of the pandemic without ever seeing it in person. At the time, travel to the other state was prohibited. The sales team and our protect manager did a great job of keeping us informed by sending frequent photos and videos to update us on the progress. We made a few changes along the way and they were very accommodating. Thank you to Pulte team - we love the house!

My house was built on time. I a very happy with the results

We love our house! There were a few minor cosmetic issues but any issues we had were responded to quickly. Our construction manager Sean Crittenden was great and explained things every step of the way.

We live 1,500 miles away from Tampa, so the majority of the building experience was remote/virtual. The Pulte staff were great- we received weekly updates with pictures from Daniel, our site manager, and we completed the closing by mail. Ten few issues we had were addressed in a very timely fashion.

The whole experience from the salesperson, to design center consult to the celebration walk-through was a wonderful experience.

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

Andrew, Daniel and Gianni have been our main contacts, pre and post purchase. All have been responsive, courteous and knowledgeable … can’t ask for much else. So far, we feel that we’ve made a great choice of home and community.

The craftsmanship on the home was excellent. The landscaping was very good. But...the trash was everywhere and blew into our yard daily from new construction across the street for weeks! Food rappers, coffee cups, junk. Very unsanitary. Disgusting. Sloppy workers

We feel very fortunate to have been able to build a home in Magnolia Ranch. The value of what we received with all the extras included is unmatched to other neighborhoods around here. Specifically the hurricane impact windows, the tile roof, the paved driveway and patio, screened patio all included as the standard! We were very pleased with the care that went into our home. Our project manager Dan was great! Maguire was lovely to work with during the buying progress. AJ continues to be helpful with the warranty process.

We love our villa in Avanti, Madison, our sales consultant was great, and so was Andrew, the contract manager, we are finally home! I would steer away from Pulte Mortgage though, had the worst experience with them, and had to look for another lender in a rush to get the purchase going, it all worked out at the end!

Pulte was very easy to work with and very responsive to any issues identified during the construction process. The project manager for our build was outstanding. The communication through out the entire process was very good and very detailed.

Pulte made the home buying process easy and rewarding. We were rewarded with a beautiful home because our documents were up-to-date, and we met the requirements There were a few defects such as a roof leak, and countertop defects but Pulte responded immediately to each issue. Job well done !

Sales process was seamless, we were kept informed throughout the build and were given advance notice in case there were any issues or delays. Both sales agent and Construction manager were amazing to work with.

Salesman Andrew Basco and Pulte mortgage team : Heidi Reinhart and Chris Arguello are simply the best in the business !!

Generally pleased

Excited to be in our new home. Many features that we truly like. Some workmanship is not in keeping with what I would have expected for the price paid. Pulte crew has been very responsive in addressing every issue and am grateful for their attention. Matt and Nic have done a great job as Pulte representatives.

We have been Pulte’s home owners in the past. With this home we purchased at time of closing was so disappointment to see the tile floors. The grout and scratches were all over the grout and tiles. The house was poorly cleaned in general.

The construction manager would say he was going to do something, but then would never follow up. The next in line manager was very helpful, very responsive. Still some issues with window and lanai sliding door after closing 2 months ago. Should be resolved this month although very unhappy with the way they left the garage floor. Paint, stains …total mess doesn’t look like new construction.

We built great relationships while building our home with Pulte. The sales experience was great. We were able to secure a great deal on our homesite and build. The building project manager was very communicative, professional, and understood and tended to our concerns. He really went above and beyond. The only negative part of our entire experience is that for what we paid for the home—the workmanship and details on certain things is almost unacceptable. Some door jams unlevel. Walls bowed. Ceilings lines unlevel. These are things that you don’t necessarily catch unless you look for them specifically. That said, we understand the problems facing the current construction market. Sloppy work and workers can’t be easily avoided simply by firing the workers since there aren’t more workers to take their place. And all in all—we are very happy with our new home. The location and neighborhood and neighbors are all wonderful. And the home is sure to be worth twice as much within a few short years. ... More

Overall a very positive experience!

Good home buying experience overall. Workmanship and attention to detail could use improvement.

The team was responsive to my needs.
