Richmond American Homes Reviews in Stockton Lodi, CA

We had a good experience with our sales rep Betty from when we first met her. This made us proceed with the purchase of our home. We were told from the start that it would take 6-8 months to build & complete our home to which we were okay with. We finally moved into our home & after a few days of unpacking, decorating our new home, & having to finally get familiarized with everything, we noticed many things to which it looked like the builder/contractors rushed on installing. We have submitted a few warranty tickets already (Paul has been fantastic) but it is upsetting & ridiculous. I understand a new build home is not and will not be 100% perfect but considering that I’m paying almost $600k for a new build home, I expect the house to have proper installation on certain things. I should be able to move in and not have to worry about submitting a warranty ticket for such and such & waste my time or the contractors time to come out & fix the issue when it could’ve been installed properly the first time. I had to fix some improper installation myself & this is unacceptable. It makes us wonder about the quality of the house and how long it will really last. We love our house, the layout of it, & the staff we had made contact with along the way but we had wish for a better move-in experience, especially with a new build home. ... More

We decided to buy from Richmond American because of the sales agent Jessica. She was great through out the whole process. The lender on the other hand gave us a bad experience. We didn’t feel valued at all and we had to proactively call to get things done ourselves to meet timelines. Calling lender was like pulling teeth and couldn’t get a response where we had to result to calling Jessica to hopefully get us a response. If I did not stay on top of the time lines I honestly think they would forget about us. Lender needs to do better.

They did not repair what they supposed to and did not do the best job on what they did repair.

Stock homes only with no flexibility to alter the smallest detail. Material used and appliances are mostly dated. Sales team is pretty considerate but have no say with design. Designers likely work with limited SKUs but designs and materials need to be refreshed to current trends

Appliances are not inspected and tried to operate before leaving the house.

I’m keeping this review short and sweet. DO NOT buy from Richmond American. They don’t build quality homes for the price, we’re extremely rude during the walk through process, and have been slow to fix the almost 20 plus issues with our home. Again to keep it short and sweet, DO NOT, but Richmond American homes.

Richmond American have extremely very low craftsmanship, so if i ever had the chance to bit another home, I would not bother looking at them.

overall experience was good especially betty and victoria but the loan officer she provided me such a stupid lady kim like she has bad attitude never reply to your calls emails and messages i don’t know why hire that kinda idiot people in their teams. if your loan officer is kim good luck to your guys. they need to fire her alteast then her attitude towards truckers little nice

Hi , thank you for building my dream house . However it would have been more cheerful if there was transparency in sales and mortgage team have handled professionally . My sales person ,All was good but I would have appreciated when I look at model houses would have told me what’s the basic model and upgrade model difference , how many lights I will be getting , am I getting 1 sink , extra cost for another sink approx . I came to know upgrades in gallery only . I have to buy solar panel and mortgage to have credits .i felt like there was no transparency. These little things was not transparent. My mortgage team Chris left my mortgage 4/5 weeks before closing date to let me know what’s interest rate I am getting . I was the person contacting Chris to give him ideas can I buy interest down? I clearly said in beginning to lock my interest rates but it wasn’t locked and was stated the other mortgage person left company in Dec. I was left crying ,mentally stress , exhausted at end of closing as I didn’t had enough time to shop around and my mortgage was not handled professionally and with best interest . I will never recommend this mortgage consultant to my friends or family . Jerry and Rigo were best people in your company who made me feel happy about my house and was involved in this process and shared every detail of my house . Ashley was great in gallery Aswell . And least when house owners get house keys , builder or sales give flowers /gift/ token of love / memory to homeowner like flowers . I was given Richmond bag with keys and congratulations . I felt there’s was no love or memory attached just a feedback . I love my house and people who build it . Lot 460 ... More

My name is Dinora. I just recently bought a house from Richmond corporation . The reason I am writing this letter is for the falling reason: is to let you know that I wasn’t in agreement to pay the extra amount of money ( $5200) I was charged for delaying the closing, pushing the walk and also to refuse to sing that I was blamed for. I have all the text and emails from rager Martin from Home American mortgage corporation and also Myrna Leano Scrow officer . I was submitting everything both asked for it which was quite many requests and I signed the day after I was approved for my loan. My question to the builder is would he give me the house key before my loan was approved, I don’t think so. So where was my delay, it would not matter how soon I did the house walk I was not approved for my loan . I have all messages and emails. We all should have ethics and procedures to run business like this and deal with people . ... More

The total experience with Richmond Homes has been a very disappointing and frankly a very unpleasant one. What is said and presented by the Sales Associate is not what you will get. You will find out that very cheap materials have been used, and very poor craftsmanship in construction of the home. Every time the shower and toilets are used on the second floor, the sound of the water coming down the pipes in the walls of the first floor is extremely loud and very annoying. The price of the home goes higher with additions given to you after you have placed your honest money for the downpayment later to discover you have been over charged for items that are standard in most homes. Once the mistakes are pointed out, they come back with a line, "my mother's house has the same thing installed" or "you can buy it at Home Depot and change it yourself" ... More
