Pulte Homes Reviews

Superintendent Jason and crews were great. Do not recommend Pulte Mortgage.

Builder said he would provide something, even in email, and eventually did nothing. The issue was brought to the builder's attention 6weeks before closing. Shortly before closing I was told it would not be done. Cost to me to fix: about $30,000.

We like our new home. We got what we wanted and the quality is very good. The reason for the average rating really had to do with Pulte stopping construction half way through and putting our house on the market. This action was in violation of our purchase agreement. Since we were out of state we were not even told. (We believe they did this since they thought our home in Florida was not going to sell quickly due to COVID-19) They also built our lot up so our driveway is very steep without telling us. We found out when we moved to Kentucky to close on the home. Being out of state during the entire process was bad news as communication was lacking. ... More

Very low quality for the amount paid. Would never recommend Pulte to anyone. We love the neighborhood but the product delivered does not match amount charged. Overpriced…. Would you want raw concrete showing in your interior of home—yes or no? Even though it is the HVAC room, it should have LVP or inexpensive tile. The guest bath should have had a transom over the tub shower. Every bathroom Needs a small window for natural light. And no paint in the garage really! We had to have a drywall guy add two more coats of mud and sand then had the garage painted. Driveway was only two inches in places. Concrete not of good quality. Drainage needs attention. Windows were not square—1/4 inches off at top versus the measurement at bottom. Base features should be of higher level quality. ... More

Bad experience not recommend to anyone

Shared several times my feedback .again doing that. Worst experiencr with sales. Rude behaviour by Mr Ryan who represent himself as all in all of canon run Bad experience experience with mortgage . Would have got much cheaoer rate if loan advisor would hv been good

Probably the worst buying experience. I own multiple properties, residential and commercial

We purchased our Pulte home with the understanding that we were buying into a gated community. This was stated on the website and confirmed by our sales agent. This was a major factor in our decision, and we were extremely disappointed to find out after signing our agreement and deposit that this was not the case. This feels like a significant misrepresentation and a "bait and switch" tactic. Our experience has been further soured by a number of unaddressed construction and design issues. We paid for brush nickel fixtures, but they were not installed. When we brought this to their attention, we were simply told the "plan had changed," with no offer to rectify the situation. A major safety and functional concern is the insulation in our attic. It was built with a dam because, we were told, they mistakenly believed the garage was a finished space. This damming issue has not been corrected, and Pulte refuses to fix it, claiming "that is the plan." Furthermore, there is no proper platform in the attic for safe access, which has caused repair teams to refuse to complete warranty work. Pulte's refusal to fix this poses a serious safety hazard and has prevented us from getting necessary repairs done. Our build process was also complicated by a change in sales agents midway through the project. We were never contacted by the new agent and were left without a point of contact for a significant period. Overall, the lack of communication, the failure to deliver on promised features, and the refusal to correct clear construction flaws and safety issues has made our home-buying experience extremely frustrating. We feel that Pulte has not stood by their promises or their product. I would caution other buyers to be very careful and to get every single detail in writing. ... More

Pulte sales manager promised me that we can buy the house as an investment regardless of knowing my mother is an employee in a different location which had nothing to do with the experience. She assured that it wouldn’t be an issue since day one. Now I can’t my own house and I was forced to sign a document saying. I can’t rent my own house. How embarrassing for a builder to force something upon their buyers, specially when the sale was initiated on different terms. By far the worst experience I’ve been through, I don’t wish that upon anybody

I have bought 4 homes in my life. This was the most stressful and horrible experience, I would stay clear if you are looking to be excited and not be lied too. After the horrible experience with the buying process, now I have been waiting since May for the HOA approval for our fence for our back yard. It just never gets any better. Dough & Mellisa was great, The Rest is a different story & experience.

The quality of home construction is very bad cheap material used and poor workmanship

Sandi Nolan with Pulte mortgage has the worst sense of humor during such a stressful process. She played so many games and so many tasteless jokes and make the process even more stressful. She joked so much that I didn’t believe her when just 2 weeks before I was to close she told me unfortunately I couldn’t be financed. I was devastated but luckily I was able to pivot with a very trustworthy lender and still got in my home. Even though Pulte promises all these incentives if you go with their lender….i wouldn’t recommended by any means.

sales agent is only working for commission and never care or communicate about the changes in commitment to the buyer. very irresponsible and not trust worthy. As a first time home buyer, I had worst experience with the sales agent that I went through. because of such agents, pulte gets bad reputation.

I’m not sure if all big developers are like this but for Pulte I can definitely say this. Don’t ever trust the sales team and don’t take anything on face value which they say. If you have any issues after the closing they WILL NOT respond. However im satisfied with the construction quality and this team’s responsiveness.

They were way behind their timeline and kept making last minute changes to closing. Subcontractors were terrible and there was little oversight or quality control, so the workmanship is terrible. Lots of promises about things that would be repaired but little follow through. They have a warranty, but you submit things to their portal and never hear back. Beyond the inconvenience and expense of all of the delays and problems lies the fact that if there are so many things wrong with the things that I can see on the surface, what problems lie beneath…

I had bad experience with buying this house ' and hope no one has to go through my Experience "and still have problems with taking care of everything the builder getting back to me.I have little hope with my expectations and only person who have meet my Experience was Ms.Terry the sales person.

James the project manager, and Mishayla the sales rep were horribly slow at responding to requests during the buying process. They would take days or weeks to respond, and then the response was too late as help was sought elsewhere. Then after the purchase James got to a point that he was rude and disappeared when he had additional responsibilities after the sale. Requested to talk to his manager Allen who also never returned my call. Really bad experience with the staff, as none of them care about a good customer experience.

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 most terrible experience with Pulte mortgage and their loan consultants , very unorganized, unprofessional but the house is nice and a good quality. But for any reason I won’t recommend Pulte mortgage company use a different bank because nobody can handle the nightmare with Pulte mortgage.

Very bad experience with Pulte. Not at all satisfied. Even the small builders doing great job and service to the customers. Here starting from Sales, Mortgage, Design Center and Construction Manager and Top Management only shows attitude nothing else. I would strongly recommend not to go with Pulte not worth of Money.

From the day I signed a contract (October 18, 2022) to day of closing (July 29, 2024). Endless, endless delays with very few explanations from Pulte unless I nagged. Meanwhile, because I was given estimated completion dates of almost every month in 2023 and 2024….. I finally sold my previous house…. And then the buyers of that house— a family with three small children— had to move THREE TIMES while this house was completed. I think the quality of my new house in Arborwood is fine. But the buying experience was a nightmare, truthfully.

No quality , identifienv so many issues here and there.. sales and construction team behaving very rood.

New condo, and after two weeks of closing, major leak in the house required the builder to open up sheet rock and fix the HVAC leak. Mold has started to grow and we could not use the house for 2 weeks. No courtesy or compensation for the trouble caused. Horrible.

The initial meeting went well we signed and during our construction process had three different people represent Pulte. House was built on schedule. The mortgage process was absolutely horrendous and horrible. We were not aware of our approval for the purchase of our house until 30 minutes before our closing. No one reached out to apologize. No one reached out to assist us. No one reached out to provide us an alternate option. We had aNo one reached out to apologize. No one reached out to assist us. No one reached out to provide us a alternate option. We had a glue on our own and do it and got approved in two weeks. Our closing was 30 days delayed due to the lack of communication effort From Pulte. mortgage. ... More

Constantly changed project managers. Continue to pursue customer care for items not agreed upon before closing.
