Poor overall Home buying experience

Good morning. Overall our experience with Pulte has not been positive. We started excited when we signed/started but it only went downhill. We suffered the filling issues: 1. Closing well past promised due date requiring unnecessary expense on our part and stress on our family, jobs, and children 2. Rudeness by several members of Pulte staff including mortgage, closing office, building team. Issues required bringing in manager to assist 3. Unresponsive construction manager. We are over 30 days past closing with our punch list not done and growing. We have over 30 additional issues ...

You’re just a number and a $ sign to this company. They don’t care about your experience or issues caused by their poor workmanship. Biggest mistake buying from Pulte should have gone with Perry!

Pulte Homes - My over all experience was very bad.

My over all experience was very bad. My house construction was delayed by 4 months. I was rushed and forced to close the house before fixing all the issues that we identified. The construction manager tried to help us. But still there are several in resolved issues.

Harrison Grant - Alamo Ranch

So many things.....if I could do it over, I would’ve bought in Fair Oaks Ranch. Pulte Mortgage is a joke. The sales consultants don’t keep your finances private. They also don’t tell you once you sign the note, the HOA sucks and has too many restrictions.

The original home my wife and I designed to built located on 10732 Merrick Run was not completed in a timely manner……..dates were moved from June 2022, August 2022……..and still today not completed. Due to needing a home to move to……..we settled for the house on 12306 Sagerider SA 78454. Although a bigger home, many of the amenities my wife and I had on the home we help to design lack here. Although we have gotten use to it…….we still have issues not resolved. Torn stair carpet on the first step, stained (red) on carpet staircase floor (before first step), dark stain upstairs still ...

The Pulte Home Experience..

  • Percy M.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • November 21, 2023
  • San Antonio, TX

Buying a home should be a great feeling and it was until I settled for the $20K at closing using Pulte Mortgage (Dawn). Never thought I would be saying this but they are not good at their job at all. And just FYI, you don't actually get or control the $20K at closing. Per my closing documents it stated " You are responsible for $0.00 of the discount point" yet when it was closing time they took the discount point for the loan rate out of my $20K closing stating that I actually didn't pay it because it came out of the $20K closing promotion. Well if someone gives a customer $20K it's ...

response has been not at all good after closing is done...all open issues prior closing were not addressed and any service ticket logged has been ignored even after multiple reminders through email or in person. Pending works are not being addressed or paid attention to. if the post closing service as committed provided it would be really great. hope at least feedback like this will change the service provided.

This was a horrible experience. I chose Pulte due to the longevity of house building experience. My experience made me felt this was working with company just starting off . I will say my loan consultant were great. My construction manager(Kelly) answer every call and email. After the move the customer service contact (Meghan )made sure all needed repairs were done.. the sales person in the front office (Robin) was very unresponsive to my concerns and questions . Only until my brick was cancel and I had to pick a new brick which was another nightmare. The was my 2nd home and it was the worst ...

This was the worst home buying experience I have ever had. From the sales person who lied to us over 4 times, from personally having to talk to people to get things fixed proved that this was not worth the investment in time. Timelines were way off when they told us of the bill, they kept realtor in the dark and also messed up the title service paying our people. This is not acceptable when you are selling 350K homes.

My wife and I purchased this new home when we moved to Texas from Georgia. The house has major air conditioning issues to this day that have not been corrected (12 A/C service calls), there have been multiple issues that had to be addressed that should have been caught by the builder before we closed yet were identified after closing, the master bedroom closet shelves collapsed, and the overall effort of the Pulte team to address customers concerns with their new homes after closing is below average to say the least. My experience with Pulte with regards to repairs after closing has not been ...

Nice employees but poor company & quality. Still scraping paint from tiles, lots of flaws in paint job, drawers don’t close properly, electrical issues (lights in kitchen won’t work after 3.5 weeks of use), washer not functioning properly (part of deal)...the list goes on. I made a mistake purchasing a new home from PULTE. Love the neighborhood but with I had gone with a different builder.

Poor Quality / Poor Craftmen

  • R. U.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • BOERNE, TX

Bad experience. Every phase of construction was completed (fixed) with the absolute worst sub contractors. Pulte’s Framing was so cheap that they do not even use a top plate (2x4) on most of the interior walls. I even had to inform the builder that trusses were sitting on load bearing walls that Did Not Have a Top Plate. This could’ve been fixed when I originally told them. But no, they decked the roof, and shingled before they decided to fix the truss setting on a loadbearing wall without a top plate. By this time, three of the trusses had already broken due to the downward force ...

Pulte's sales person was good, but the construction manager and crews did a poor job executing and communicating. We were given a close date about a month or so out, and we jumped through hoops to prep and sell our previous home to meet that date. Leading up to close, Pulte did not disclose the poor quality of finishes throughout the home, even when directly asked. We disclosed our timeline for closing on the previous home and expressed concern about the timeline for closing on the new construction, ad we were assured Pulte would deliver quality on time. After extending close by a week (only ...

Thoroughly disappointed in home buying experience at Pulte.

  • San Antonio, TX

Pulte Sales team at Davis Ranch lacks integrity, respect, and a sense of honesty. The sales team says one thing, but then won't honor it, claiming I misheard them. Unfortunately for them, I've got a knack for holding onto things... especially when it comes to writing things down, recording meetings on my phone, and keeping track of every single email, but even that wasn't good enough proof for them. First, how do you justify the fact that my neighbor and I bought each house on the same day... and he paid less than I did for a higher configuration? Second, if the designs for a model change, ...

We experienced unmet promises. Unmet deadlines. The craftmanship was poor quality throughout home. Had leak within the first week. Asked them to please bleach the damaged wood from the leak, since it was a bathroom leak, they did not. Had to do it myself. Had sink hole in my front yard, again I had to fix it myself. Still waiting for them to fix it properly. A huge safety hazard. The mason stone fell off the front porch within a few weeks of moving in. During warranty visits, we've had several already in less than two months, they've fixed some things and left others undone. Overall, not ...

  • San Antonio, TX

First, I believe this is a reputable builder nationally; however, my experience in San Antonio was awful. 1 out of 5 based on the following: The builder represented the house was ready. I sent my inspection crew as a result. The house in fact was nowhere near ready. A day later the builder wanted to close on the house and insisted on keeping the closing date, while ignoring the facts. Then, during the last day before close, they increased the closing amount by $1500 to move more HOA funding fees to my column that even the title company showed them Pulte was obligated to pay on their ...

No other way to say it. This has been an extremely disappointing and regrettable process. What started as my family building our dream home quickly turned into the most stressful time of our lives. And no one at Pulte seemed to care. The process started ok, Aiyana in sales was very up front about what was included and provided the quotes with upgrades we knew we wanted as well as upgrades we were considering so we could budget accordingly. There were a few surprises when we went to sign and just after we signed about changes that needed to be made to fit code. The big one being that we ...

From day one we have been Mis-lead, flat out lied to at times, treated like just another number, given a bunch of lip service and have been extremely frustrated throughout this process.

I could list of probably 20 things that were incomplete prior to us moving in and have not been taken care of like we were told they would.

I am aware of the problem builders are having retaining workers and getting materials due to Covid, but the buyer is the one paying for this shortcoming. The quality of the build and workmanship is very poor, and the companies response to correcting these issues is lacking thus far. The warranty folks have stepped up and are trying to resolve the issues and I am hopeful they will make things right. It is very frustrating to spend you time waiting on worker to show up and correct problems that should have been done right the first time.

Construction managers had poor commutation throughout the process. Most importantly the quality was poor. Paint and stain was spilled all over the tile floor and carpet. Things that were supposed to be fixed were not. Closing was delayed and should have been delayed again. The cabinets came off the wall right after moving in. Poor workmanship overall. Better off going across the street to Ashton Woods.
