Richmond American Homes Reviews in Las Vegas, NV

Beautiful homes and neighborhood as the title suggests. We bought our first home in NV and coming from the east coast. Little issues here and there but took the home care team 3-6 weeks to resolve the issues. Shower rod for 1 of our bathrooms was forgotten and didn’t get to use it for almost 1 month until I called Corporate Center. Otherwise we’ve been happy with our purchase.

Window is cracked already and I have to wait a month for a replacement. Paint is poorly done with drip marks all over. All the screws in the house are lose. The stucco is coming off already. The floor makes noise and it’s not even level. This house was built too quickly and with poor attention to detail.

It is a nice home that meets our needs. The sales agent was untruthful which was unfortunate The many issues with the home have not been addressed with the exception of the lack of electricity in two rooms

Tried contacting Homewaranty for issue with pin holes in the floor grouting all over my new home, I acknowledge of being a Holiday weeks and was given 10 working days for replies until up to date.

STILL WAITING FOR RESPONS.. ... More

I recently purchased a home from Richmond American Homes and wanted to share my overall experience. On the positive side, the home is well-designed, and the construction quality is generally good. However, my overall rating falls at a B due to a few notable concerns. One significant aspect is the lack of attention to detail during the construction process. This has required assertiveness on my part to address and have issues remedied. While the customer service from Richmond American Homes is responsive, it could benefit from more proactive problem-solving. Setting average expectations throughout the home buying process proved crucial. It's advisable to be prepared for occasional disappointments and exercise assertiveness in communicating concerns. In summary, Richmond American Homes offers a decent product, but improvements in attention to detail during construction and customer service responsiveness would significantly enhance the overall experience. ...

On the day of my walkthrough, the electrical was not working in the kitchen, no hot water, the back fence was crushed by a tractor, screens missing and torn and so forth. The person conducting the walkthrough for Richmond had no idea of the condition of the house because Richmond did not complete a pre inspection. All this means that Richmond rushes to get you to the closing table, hoping to push you into a long post closing list. Any buyer should be aware that it is highly unlikely that anyone from Richmond will come back to complete the "post-closing" punch list. I've not seen anyone, and speaking with neighbors, they haven't either, one neighbor has been trying to complete a long list for 11 months. I still don't have a missing screen for my sliding door and there are missing handles on my cabinets. After 30 days, I have been completing/fixing many open items myself. My advice, DON'T close until every item is completed. If you do, you're on your own. ... More

The home is over priced for the cheap materials used in building the structure. The workmanship is dismal. Multiple feature in the house need to be fixed from replacing windows, sliding glass door, driveway pavers, cabinet drawers and doors and quart’s shower wall. All of these items need to be fixed and have yet to be fixed. The Richmond American home specialist was notified of the issues and still has not reached out to set a time for repairs. We have been living in our home for three months now with no word. I would not buy a home from Richmond American again. I will never recommend them to anyone I care about. ... More

The home is great, Susan was great to work with, Joey also has gone above and beyond. As far as purchasing the home, worst experience ever. Terrible communication amongst themselves, lots of wasted time because no one could pick up a phone to communicate what they needed specifically.

It’s taken 30 days to get a response on my warranty items. Had me submit pictures for your app that they can’t even access. Nothing in the process was smooth or even I would say it was friendly.

First off, the house itself is very nice. The floor plan is awesome, the materials aren’t bad. It’s a very welcoming home. However, 1 month later. The screen door has popped off, the locks wouldn’t lock from the beginning, no body has came and fixed it. Our garage door opens our neighbors and our front door handle is coming lose. The home buying was incredibly frustrating. The loan process took way too long. Our loan officer Deacon kept us updated as much and as well as he could. From getting told “we’d close tomorrow” to it being delayed 4 weeks because of reasons I have never heard of. I WOULD buy another Richmond American home, however, I would NOT ever consider going through their company. ... More

I have had nothing but issues since I decided to purchase a home. First was the purchase process where documents just given to you with nobody reaching out to make sure you understand them. If it wasn't for my agent I would have been lost in this process. Fast forward to the house itself. Worker did sub par work. During my walk through there were several things that needed to be fixed, door left open at end of business so anyone could walk in my home and beer in my refrigerator from the workers. Even after the walk through I had multiple issues with damaged ceiling, poor paint job in some places, clogged toilet from workers putting debris down the toilet, messy/dirty windows, hard to remove residue on all countertops, among other things. After filing claims they did respond and come out to fix most of the things but to buy a new home and right out the gate have to do all these things is ridiculous. Tina at the front office was awesome and helped the best she could but other than that, not so much of great experience to have bought a brand-new home. Disappointment ... More

Love the overall layout and most of the workmanship, and the lot/view is what ultimately carried the day. On the other hand, the negatives are numerous. Appliances are a HUGE disappointment for the price of this home. Most are complete crap; dishwasher is a joke. Now that we are painting the entire house (making "contractor white" go away), we are finding all kinds of workmanship issues with the drywall joints, texturing, and initial painting. 3-car garage must be designed for Prius's; can't possibly park normal-sized vehicles next to each other inside and comfortably open a door. And our buying/closing experience was less than ideal; there were errors in the closing documents, and post-closing expenses are still an issue with the Title company selected by RA. ... More

We were rushed to close and did first walk through. Numerous issues pointed out and marked. A week later for follow up walk through nearly nothing was fixed. They rushed that day to fix a couple things and said they would get the rest taken care of. Stupid me I trusted them. Now every little thing needs to be scheduled where you waste your time in 4 hour blocks. I've reached out via the website, phone calls and texts with no response! I was looking at Lennar and DR Horton homes also and wish I would of went that route. I'll never buy a Richmond home again and will never recommend them. I tell all my friends and coworkers to stay clear of Richmond. ... More

Don’t go without a Realator and don’t believe the salesman John he will say anything just to make a sale and the he will lie and say he never said it. He had us fly from Hawaii for the frame walk and the project superintendent was not ready to do the frame walk because the home wasn’t ready for it. Remember your not to hold them up in anyway but it will never be there fault if they are not ready when they inform you that they will be. As for the quality of the home I would have expected it to have been much better. The drywall in the home is already cracked in one of the door frames by the garage entry, the paint has different shades in the living room , lights in bathrooms and chandeliers, along with light switches are obviously not level. The drywall on the ceiling for pendant lights in kitchen have areas around them that need to be repaired there is also a dirty hand print near one of the pendant lights on the ceiling. There is paint spatter on the flooring throughout the home. It appears that they put little to no effort in cleaning the home prior to us moving in. Also they are still building this community and the don’t seam to pick up there rubbish and it blows into everyone’s yard and you have to pick up their debris on a daily basis. It seems as though they only want pump out the homes as fast as they can with no attention to detail or pride in there workmanship. The workers leave nails and debris in the street. Even the stucco siding has a lot of cracks in it and the home has only been built for approximately 6 weeks. Come on Richmond American I know you can do better if you try and care about your customers or do you only care about sales, these homes are not cheap ours was just over 840,000 $$$. On the positive note we do love the floor plan. ... More

The quality and workmanship was terrible when I closed so to get it fixed, we had to contact customer service, Jennifer, for every issue that needed fixing especially the one’s that weren’t fixed by the final walkthrough. Every time I call customer service, up until now, she does not respond for weeks and only responds when she’s forced to. She’ll say I’m not talking to her properly. Well guess what? When you don’t respond to customers who wants to get their house fixed because the builder didn’t do a good job to begin with…Customers will eventually get mad because you all don’t care about getting the job done. Up until now, my issue from a month ago hasn’t been taken care of. I ALWAYS initiate the conversation because she WONT!!! She avoids it and hopes it’ll go away. She even suggested that I get down on my hands and knees and scrub the messed up baseboards that they messed up. I don’t think so!!! That’s what a one year warranty is for!! If she can’t do her job then she needs to go to her boss and ask for help. And she needs more customer service training because she doesn’t know how to communicate. I would like a different customer service agent that actually cares. ... More

The builder used cheap materials in building this home, workmanship is really bad. i expected more for the amount that i paid for this house.

We were told to sign and close escrow, even though the house was not finished. We were promised items on our walk through list would be repaired and finished before closing. Nothing was fixed, we’re three month in. Made two mortgage payments and the repairs are still not done. All our bathroom light fixtures were broken or damaged. Our dryer was damaged, we were told that it was all set up for us to call GE Cares. Called GE Cares. They had no record of our house even having GE appliances. I understand there are many other houses that also need attention. The construction of the house really isn’t that high quality. Its craftsmanship was very poor and rushed. We had a bow in our family room wall. A dry wall specialist said it wasn’t his fault. It was plumbing and left. I would not recommend buying a Richmond Home. ... More

I work in the remodel/rehab and new residential and commercial construction industries. The home I purchased fails to meet basic, minimum industry standards. Poor finish work. Five weeks since close and still not moved in because repairs not complete. Unskilled labor executing tasks requiring high-level, specific skills (skip trowel texture). New windows won’t open and told that’s how they are. False. Threshold improperly installed and told that’s how it is. False. Four property walks later and only the drywall and texture issues addressed, but these repairs were inadequate to the point the walls need completely refloated and retextured. Lack of follow through by builders warranty/repair team. There’s much, much more. Cabinets damaged, toilet seat damaged, air gap cover wrong color, screen dented and hanging off window, toilet paper holder ripped off wall, handrail severely lacking prep work, two different color caulking used on tile floor, tiles in shower cracked, doors warped, door handles loose enough to fall off, cutouts in drywall some of the worst I’ve ever seen, repair team dripped paint all over tile, paint job is absolutely horrible and that’s an understatement, multiple roof tiles were severely damaged, window frames and sliding door frame scratched, exterior paint lacking coverage in multiple areas, pavers for patios and driveway not level…and more. ...

physically reviewed home on sep 6th 2024 was told by real estate folks it was move in ready so the sign said on the home site asked if the accessories would be what this home would be and was told it was move in ready no way would i ever had thought between the 6th and the twenty third all would be change it was the old bate an switch very disappointed to say the least very unprofessional and probably illegall. RAH however did change my paper work to match what i presently have which shame on me i never looked but did sign however why would i when i was told move in ready still feel bate an switch don't know how much RAH saved by changing out all the trim an accessories hope it was worth it but i think iwas a cheap thing to do and it stinks ...

Sales person, not the one we were talking with,made fun of us as we walked out the door after spending a hour going over lot choices, model selection, and down payment. Sales man we worked with lied on several occasions . Financial department wanted us to submit a document that we and they knew was fraudulent at their request. Head of department later said we would have been approved for our loan had we submitted the fraudulent document.

I would never recommend this builder. Untrustworthy

They have not responded in regards to when the repairs that needed to be done will be completed.

From the start, we were bait and switched on a " promotional" interest rate. " get down here by tomorrow to get this rate", Then when we make the decision to commit to the largest financial purchase either of us had ever made, only to be told oh, wait, you cannot get that promotion because of a construction production issue. So.. we held up our end, but they mess up and we pay for it. Turned out, par for the course with Richmond. Next, the builder would not work with us at all during the build, we stepped into a build that had already started, however, it was only a concrete slab, nothing else. Even then, they wouldn't even let us change something as simple as hardware color. We even asked if they would be nice enough to just leave the hardware off, so we are not committed to those holes in our cabinets, they said sure, but put them on anyway. So, lied to us to get us to not ask about it. We asked for many little things along the way, and the only word Richmond knows is "NO". They are not in the business of customer service or making a $600k purchase feel special or personalized. Next, the loan process... equally as terrible if not worse. Their in-house loan company, Is a joke. Starts with that bait and switch, then the loan officer ( Dana ) is nonresponsive, rude and will blatenly lie to you. She will NOT answer a phone, and when she calls you back days later, she has no useful info, and says she will get your questions answered, only to not be heard from again by phone or email. Not to mention, we were never given our estimated hud or copy of our appraisal... still waiting for them. ( Been in the house over a month). Construction of the home.. is an absolute rush job. We have problems as we speak that were obvious issues that their workers hid from their so-called quality control process. I am a construction electrician of 20 years. Lights wired into the wrong switch ( 1 can light is wired into the pendants ) and they tried to cover it up by putting them all on 1 switch. Thinking we would not notice because the house does not come with fixtures for the pendants. We have had TWO complete sewage back ups from the main sewer where they have had to send a plumber out to clear from the main clean out. But they refuse to admit there is a construction issue. MULTIPLE hvac issues, still some not addressed. Door hinges that have fallen out of the wall because the carpenter ran the screws in so hard they stripped. Of course we had other small issues I would expect like small leaks and paint / aesthetic issues. They take weeks to address any issue if at all, even with the proper work orders. Once they have your money, you are no longer relevant. Their superintendent of the community is their only asset. Angel works hard and will be there if you need him, for questions or emergencies. But he has an uphill battle, because the company is just burying him. He'd be smart to take his skills and knowledge to a community that won't make him pay for all their carelessness. We are by no means a couple of Karens, Being in the industry, i have a lot of understanding for normal construction issues. This is also the 4th new home I have purchased in my life, and BY FAR the worse in every category of value, customer service and quality. ... More

One of the 1st to buy and last to move in because they failed to preplan and see that the pole in my lot needed to be moved, took 2 yrs for me to move in and because it was rushed there have been all sorts of issues with the house. It's no wonder there have been several Class Action Lawsuits brought against them!

By far this has been the worse experience ever. The entire loan process was ridiculous and overkill, the house was filthy dirty when i received it, my fridge is missing a filter, my garbage disposal wasnt working and i had to pay out of pocket to fix it. I had beer bottles left in my backyards and still had some tape left from the marked areas that needed fixing. Very dissatisfied and the only reason that I finished the pricess waa because of my situation I was in. Beautiful homes but that’s all.
