Pulte Homes Reviews

From day one of stepping into the sales office, Ryan was amazing to work with. Hugely knowledgeable about everything regarding the homes, professional and just a kind human. Any time, I asked, text or emailed a question he was quick to reply. He is a huge asset to Pulte he made the home buying process easy and enjoyable. Also, Chris the construction manager on site was extremely helpful during the process. He also was great at responding to texts and emails.

Communications with the construction manager is utmost important in the whole home purchasing process. Our experience with Tony was horrible. We were told by Tony that the foundation was going to be poured after the New Year holidays 2024. It was poured right after Christmas 2023 without our knowledge and as a result things were missing. This is July 2024 two months after our closing, we are still not able to enjoy our new home because there are still things that need to be fixed.

The Monica in sales was outstanding, the project manager overpromised and underdelivered, the customer service manager Rob has been great.

Construction manager knew what he was doing and attend to issues in an expedited manner. Made the process that much more enjoyable knowing I could rely on that department.

From start to finish I was very satisfied with the timing and professional attitude of all who were involved from the ground breaking to the finished product. All workers , management and customer service get high marks for a job well done

They are Just awesome. I love them

The details herein are intended to present a chronological and detailed account of her professional misconduct, highlighting the specific instances and their consequences throughout the entirety of the home transaction. Timeline of Events: 1. Initial Misrepresentation Regarding Home Selection: September 2023: Early in the transaction process. Upon discovering that I was a Veteran buyer, Rania engaged in discriminatory actions by selling the initially chosen home (Plan 3) to another buyer. This occurred after verbal assurances were made (and submission of requested paperwork) regarding the availability of this home, forcing me to select a different plan to retain the desirable view. 2. Failure to Disclose VA Approval Requirements: September 2023: At the beginning of the sales process. Rania failed to inform me of the necessity for VA Condominium Approval for Beacon at Delta Coves, a critical factor for my VA loan processing. This omission came to light only after the process was initiated, causing unnecessary delays and complications. 3. Deceptive Assurance on Home Modifications: November 2023: The deadline was set for December 31, 2023, per Rania. Rania verbally assured my realtor and me that non-structural changes to the home were permissible, provided that the materials had not yet been ordered. Although it was not a normal processing procedure, “there are always exceptions” was stipulated. However, despite meeting the provided deadline, she reneged on this assurance in subsequent emails, which lacked any previous commitment detail, leading to significant financial and planning implications. 4. Inappropriate Attempts to Access Personal Information: September-October 2023: During the loan application process. Rania made several inappropriate attempts to obtain personal information from my loan file through my previous lender, actions that were ethically questionable and privacy-invasive. The lender denied access and contacted me regarding the attempts. 5. Financial Misrepresentations Concerning Delay Fees: March 2023-May 2024: Following the delays in the VA Condominium Approval process. The denial of the VA Condominium Approval was a direct result of PulteGroup's failure to provide an accurate date for the transfer of the Homeowners Association (HOA), necessitating a shift in the original closing date. Rania had assured me verbally I would not be responsible for any fees incurred due to delays caused by the denial of the VA Approval (it was out of my control). Contrary to these assurances, the fees were unjustly incorporated into the contract. After reviewing the terms, I immediately notified Pulte representatives that I was signing the agreement under duress, as Rania refused to amend or remove these clauses even after being reminded of her initial promises. This blatant disregard for verbal assurances in favor of written commitments that contradict them not only highlights a serious breach of trust but also underscores Rania’s professional misconduct and the coercive circumstances under which the contract was signed. This action calls into question the validity of the agreement and the ethical standards upheld by Pulte during the transaction process. May 2024: Subsequent Contractual Failures Despite receiving written assurances from Pulte Mortgage that the $300 per day extension fees would be covered, Addendum 8, submitted on May 1, unjustly retained the same clauses as found in Addendum 7. Rania neglected to amend the contract to reflect these assurances. Her subsequent emails further contradicted her earlier promises, compelling me to shoulder financial responsibilities that were explicitly stated to be waived. This failure to update the contractual language has continued to impose undue financial burdens on me, directly contradicting the documented commitments made by Pulte Mortgage. 6. Use of High-Pressure Tactics: September 2023-May 2024: Throughout the contract signing phases. Rania frequently used high-pressure tactics, including sending documents for urgent signature late on Fridays, thus forcing decisions without adequate time for review. This tactic was particularly noted when I was coerced into signing an addendum under duress, with Rania referencing sections of the original agreement to justify adding the unfair fees. Rania consistently employed unethical and high-pressure tactics, notably distributing documents late on Fridays that required immediate attention. This timing limited my ability to conduct thorough reviews. One particularly manipulative instance occurred when I was compelled under pressure to sign an addendum. Rania exploited sections of the original agreement to impose unjust fees, emphasizing the urgency and leaving no room for negotiation or proper consultation. It is important to note that the other divisions of Pulte, where these documents were ultimately submitted, operate only during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. This timing effectively constrained my ability to seek clarification or adjustments from these departments, further exacerbating the pressure and urgency imposed. As a result of these actions, Pulte Mortgage upheld Rania’s promise and paid the closing extension fees. I also sent email correspondence to Pulte leaders in California and Georgia (their main office) regarding the egregious behavior throughout the entirety of this purchase. Rania’s calculated actions resulted in significant financial loss, costing me nearly $30,000 after closing on the home. Although Rania was moved to a neighboring community (multiple homeowners had issues with her), she is in the same position and selling homes at the same pricing point. I requested to correspond with a different representative at Pulte and was met with a denial from area management. There are numerous issues with the home itself, such as an improper key changeover, non-functional doorbell, tape remaining on the framing of the exterior, an unresolved fixture issue, etc. ... More

The paint job in many areas of the house is terrible, leaving the surfaces unfinished and unattractive. The microwave was not installed correctly from the start. The construction team failed to ensure proper installation and oversight of the house build. I have tried multiple times to report the microwave issue, but no single department wants to take responsibility, and they keep redirecting me between departments. The microwave issue has still not been resolved for almost a month.

Materials are not quality boards are warped outside and inside. Walls are not square as we are now doing work inside the home where it shows. As for warranty work I havent seen it yet with at least 3 emails

Issues during construction were addressed professionally and in a timely fashion. Construction and handover were in time.

I would highly recommend the build/sales team at this Pulte location for their response time to our questions and keeping us up to date. Looking forward to moving in to enjoy the home.

Horrible experience with low quality workmanship - excuses from builder were given for numerous issues we brought up. They don't take pride in the quality of work and play it off as all "acceptable". Will never build with Pulte ever again.

The excitement of purchasing a new build was dulled by the high costs of any upgrades. The bundling of un-related items was also an issue. For example, we got to choose the color of our front door, but it was bundled with the color of the roof shingles. The house/lot was not completely ready on closing day. In fact, a month later the lot has still not been cleaned up from construction and the landscaping has not been started. The quality of the structure is yet to be determined, but we are disappointed with the quality of the paint that was used in the house. The appliances and fixtures throughout the house are of good quality. The Sales Associate was excellent in helping us through the process and communicating with us. The Customer Service Representative has been responsive to our inquiries. The Construction Manager was very helpful and open to suggestions prior to closing. However, since closing, he/she appears to be overwhelmed and is slow to respond. In conclusion, we know that the buying experience is different for everyone; ours has add its ups and downs. ... More

Pulte (as well as Pulte Mortgage) was absolutely wonderful to work with. From our sales guy, Jack, to Ed, George & Chuck who were in charge of project management & warranties, everyone was attentive, friendly & responsive in a timely manner. Our home was built to our expectations and we are loving the neighborhood. Highly recommend !

Andrew and Mike were extremely responsive and took care of problems quickly.

the build quality is horrible and the home was not even cleaned properly before i was given the keys on the day of closing. the build quality is such that , i keep finding some or the other stuff wearing off every single day. the construction manager doesnt even respond after closing. the island was never painted properly. just another sloppy substandard housing community which cramp into each other.

Our experience was successful enlarge part because of our Construction Manger Austin. This is our four house, and he is the best we have worked with and thanks to him everything has worked out and we are happy with the finial product.

I highly recommend buying a Pulte home. Quality built home and great staff to work with.

Our experience with Mike was fantastic. He was responsive, always on time when we met, very knowledgeable and thorough. He even suggested a nice memory making activity with our kids.

The 1st time home buyer process was extremely fun because of the sales office members were some of the greatest people to get in touch with and the construction managers were also amazing. We are enjoying our home and are glad to meet skilled professionals.

Sean, I have to say my experience with you, Chris and Tom was excellent and very professional. appreciate all your time in explaining the condo construction in detail. I appreciate your response to my questions during the process. This has been a very emotional time for me in my life. This process has been nothing but smooth and professional.

My Pulte sales rep, Kim J, did not sell me my home, rather she showed me what living in a Pulte home could be. She was honest and supportive and ensured that we got our dream home in an incredible community. Couldn’t be happier!

Could have left the only wall space in the bathroom clear so you could put a cabinet Instead of the towel rack. Make the washer quieter as it is very noisy and pipes bang against wall. Could have had the dryer door open on the left side. Pay attention to how many times front door jams.

Mass production tends to lose its attention to detail. Obvious mistakes during construction were ignored. There was and still is a long punch list of corrections. That being said we love our house. My biggest love was the navy cabinets and they were my biggest disappointment. So many nicks and smudges and doors that didn’t close right. I am hoping your crew will make things right.

The house was not clean even after some items were noted previously, The landscapers turned off my irrigation setup twice when working on my yard and my neighbor's yard and never turned it back on causing the grass to brown. There was no orientation to where my mailbox is and the numbers and locations for the mailboxes are a extremely unorganized with no logical progressive format.
