Pulte Homes Reviews

Did not get a good experience

Most recently your contractors were plugged into my electric to use it as they worked on the new build next to me. I discovered that in 7/5 when I was outside. We closed 2 months early on the house, which was a mess and the internet was not working and I still don’t have the pool heater working. My pool company/cleaners said the heater is not holding pressure? that has to be addressed and we were just able to move into the house 6/20 bc we were not expecting to close early and we have jobs and so on and I had a June water bill of 235$ with no one living in the home. Which leads me to believe my outdoor water spout was being utilized for the new construction next door as well. With all of the rain the pool company had not been putting water into the pool so I’m not sure why my first water bill would be 235 and yes we paid 135 bill as deposit to water company separately. Apparently this goes on and neighbors that I spoke to about it said it goes on all the time. But it’s stealing, which is a crime so I’m not sure how it can just go on. I had other experiences along the way, some were good and some not great. To be expected. Overall I would never again do business with a company who steals from people who are buying homes from them. ... More

Overall, home buying experience was not terrible. But unfortunately it’s the really bad parts that sticks out. Pulte was not responsive to any requests made after home inspection. They left backyard landscaping in very poor condition with big black tubes sticking out of my yard and area around tubes with no grass just dirt/mud (very poor eye sight). And when asked if they could bury it underground and out to very close (less than 10 ft) nearby creek/ditch, they told me I could pay someone to get it done on my own… they left some circle stickers on some areas that they needed to brush paint on not done. (Poor attention to detail). And various areas just not cleaned up (dirt all around and in basement sliding door). The shower glass in master bathroom was all scratched up (still waiting on someone to come fix that if they will ever). They also left the stove not connected but someone from Pulte actually came and fixed that right away. ... More

Good home, but they could include a better cabinets, handles and appliances for a half million home.

Paul the super intendant is great!

I just bought a Pulte townhome and I’m loving it! The house is beautiful. A few minor issues with the doors but they have always very responsive and quick to fix anything I needed. I did have to ask for a few things that should have been automatic, like the key fob for the pool, mail key, and ring door camera (which was installed with no instructions and the doorbell on it doesn’t work). But overall very happy!

Value for the money is wonderful

Leo was our construction manager and he was fantastic during the whole building experience. Adrienne was our sales person and she was also of great help and an amazing resource. The process was really smooth however, there are many things that I wish the builder would really focus on..the small things. Many of the interior walls are not straight and there are areas on the exterior walls that are not smooth and flaws. That being said, when I notice items that need to be corrected, I can always contact the construction manager, and these things will be taken care of.

We are very happy with our decision to purchase a condominium here at Martins Landing. The entire experience from the sales representatives to the construction group to the customer service care group has been great. Like any other large construction projects, there were some minor issues that needed to be addressed. The responsiveness to resolve these issues was excellent. We look forward to many years of happiness here.

The process to buy our house was smooth, Good quality, Rafael our Project manager was on top of everything before the closing . We are happy with our house.

The Pulte home designs are very spacious, comfortable and good to living.

The construction process was smooth. The house is well-built but the finishes are very poorly made (i.e., cheap), despite their high cost.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional workmanship and build quality of our new home. From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by the attention to detail and the thoughtful design. The craftsmanship truly shines through, and we couldn’t be happier with our investment. Your responsiveness and willingness to address any fixes promptly made a significant difference. Whenever we had a request, you were there, ensuring that everything was taken care of efficiently - a special thanks to Mark PEUGH (construction manager). Your dedication to ensuring our satisfaction did not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for your commitment to excellence. While the mortgage experience had its challenges, your team’s efforts in the construction phase more than compensated for it. We look forward to creating lasting memories in our beautiful new home, thanks to your hard work and dedication ... More

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.
