Richmond American Homes Reviews in Sacramento, CA

We were well informed at all times. Maggie was great!

The whole process was met my expectations of a builder.

Carla and Nicole is very helpful during this home-buying journey. Tim is very responsive for every question I have about the house.

The best experience I had with Richmond is the sales rep. Inna was very detail and responsive and she was absolutely great to work with! She went the extra mile to help me! It was a great experience!

Amanda was amazing! She’s very communicative and supportive. She walked me through the entire process and gave me construction updates almost weekly. She went above and beyond and came went to meet me at their office before they even opened. Jimmy and Kyle were great! They explained explained everything during my walkthroughs. Great customer service. During my final walkthrough, Kyle said, “We want you to be happy with your purchase.” He stuck to his word and fixed most of the discrepancies I found during my final walkthrough.

The workmanship on my home is very poor, I’ve already had a few issues and we have lived in the home 4 weeks. Thankfully the warranty side has been fairly responsive and quick with repairs.

Buying experience was good but closing experience was not went very well, I think they need to be more organized, because everyone was waiting for last minute. home design and quality of materials is not good.

We are satisfied with what we got from Richmond American

Alex is very experienced and helpful getting my concerns addressed.

Superintendent Kurtis knows what he's doing. They are all helpful.

First, I would like to thank my loan officer for being proactive and responsive to my questions. Thank you Kim for all you did, was pleasure working with you. I just hoped that we were given the right amount from the get go by our first sales agent. It was a great tactic pitching the house for a lower price, and when we are seen as really eager, we were informed that all houses needed to be curated and prices will increase. Not appreciated since we really wanted to move forward. And we switched to another sales agent, as the first one switched to a higher role. I really like Mina as she answers my questions right away even in her days off. Very responsive and gives me updates from time to time. There was just misunderstandings on my attempt to switch lots which I am glad did not happen as I really love the one we ended up having. So, it worked out well. There was some minor issues upon moving in which can be fixed right away. And Aleks and Kyle make sure it is resolved or advise on how to get them done. Overall, this buying and moving process was a crazy process but I was really surprised with how things turned out. It was my plan to move to a new house this year and I was not disappointed. We are enjoying ourselves with our house! ... More

The overall experience was good. I would however liked to have the opportunity to add a few upgrades. Simple things like tile upgrades, a patio fan and pendant lights over the kitchen countertops.

Overall great experience. A few issues with the quality of the build, however the home care specialist so far has been very responsive and extremely helpful with our home warranty repairs.

Mina has been responsive and takes care of all of my concerns.

From start to finish the builder deserves 4 stars. I used their lender for the special rate on the table and they were fantastic, title company amazing, and most people friendly. Sales made some misleading or unknowledgeable wrong answers and there have been a few hiccups with warranty. That said, overall I’m incredibly happy with the home and time will tell on the long term quality. I was very disappointed the builder didn’t allow option selection but ultimately found my ideal lot and the color scheme I wanted. You do end up paying twice for paint or finishes you want after the fact since they don’t let you choose that either. The positive side of that is it was move in ready quickly, but I do wonder if that will bite me at some point. ... More

After a change in construction Foreman’s I noticed a huge change in customer service. The new foreman Paul was extremely helpful with concerns or questions. He was also very good at communicating what could and could not be done for small discrepancies we notice during the building process. Paul made the rest of the experience much better. Unfortunately we felt the lender was not as responsive as we’d like. It seems there was little to no communication between the builder, lender and sales team. Our close date changed several times (which was expected). But however, when we asked for an updated close date, often times we got three different answers. Additionally, the lender would tell us to ask the sales team and the sales team would tell us to ask the lender. That at times was frustrating because during the last two weeks, we were living in a hotel. Overall the process was good though. ... More

But sloppy where you don’t look. Gutters full of roofing nails. Backyard full of nails. Metal Flashing under roof tires extends into the gutters. Time will tell durability. Nice people though. Pretty smooth purchase

Good attention and service from sales staff. Responses on time but not always with solutions. Average quality homes in general. Lack of clarify on timeline, like closing date. Lack of communication in some aspects.

We had a smooth process in buying this house. We have only had 1 issue with our kitchen sink which was fixed in a very timely manner. Everyone has been very helpful and nice.

Home buying experience was very quick and easy for the most part. Quickly of home seems like a quick done job with cheap materials. Not attention to detail.

I am please with the model I purchased. It is beautiful and spacious. My only problem is that construction discrepancies and defects really have not been corrected promptly. Had there been a bit more attention to detail and quicker response I would have awarded a higher score.

Been having pluming and ac issue . Haven’t responded to my concerns in a timely manner. Hard to get a hold of people

Very disappointing to call for a warranty after we moved, lots things are not working as expected. Emergency calls are not properly addressed until we resolve it on our own. We have to call an electrician and paid out of pocket just to resolve the issues we moved 3 weeks ago and most of the issues we submitted are still pending. I never heard any reply from anybody.

We've been at our New Richmond American Home for about 3 months, and we have come across multiple issues before we've moved in and even before we received our keys to our home, someone kicked in the side garage door and stole our Waterless Water Heater, although it was replaced the door still needs to be looked at, because it does not look like it did before. Also touch-up paint at out address was brought to the attention from the start and still has not been done, there were a few items that were repaired when we put in a Warranty Request or when we talked to Sam the Supervisor, but the workers that came in accidently hit the side of the walls and left marks on them, and the Widow guy that came in was great and did some repairs and added in some stoppers, then told me about the outside of the windows and to let Richmond know that there is stucco that is covering the drain holes and they should have someone come out and scrap out the stucco so it does not damage the windows when the weather gets bad. Later I was going to take a bath and turned the water on, and the knobs came off another item that I need to tell Richmond about, my wife was going to take a walk when the weather got better and noticed small puddles of water on our front porch that could be a safety hazard and was going to notify Richmond about those issues, then I started to notice that our walls in the kitchen were painted with 2 different type of paint flat and glossy white paint, I pointed it out to the guys that we did the walk through with, but they stated it was the reflection, after living here for 3 months though shadow reflections did not go away and noticed that in some areas it was painted with flat and glossy paint... The inside of the house is flat white, and I would like to get that taken care of as well. Another thing is that when they put cement on the side of the house, they left a pile of dirt there, what was I going to with a pile of dirt? I thought they would have it removed after they finished, but it is still there, then the trash they left I had to pick up after we moved in doesn't Richmond workers look around and clean up after themselves after they work and pick up their trash? I would of expected better more from Richmond American to do a better job on house they are building and look at things carefully before selling homes that cost over $700.000. Another thing I noticed that appliances they put in are slightly off and the baseboard is missing from under the microwave and oven, I was cleaning up and picked up what I dropped and noted a gap under there, again areas that are not being looked at carefully. My wife and I love the area, but the house should of been put together like the display house... I hope that in the future that Richmond American will be more attentive to what they do when building homes for future and present buyers. ... More

Wonderful builder that cares about the small details. Quality materials. Stay away from their recommended Lender. Will cause headaches at best, delays and penalties and risks loss of deposit. Because of the Lenders experience, I took away some stars. Imagine the feeling of unable to close due to Lender wanting proof that something that was NOT done, waiting for IRS response, and delay penalties accruing daily for weeks and to the point of forfeiting the down payment deposit.
