Richmond American Homes Reviews

My experience with this builder was smooth from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They delivered on their promises and made the homebuying journey feel organized and stress-free. The quality of the home is well-designed, thoughtfully finished, and built with care. It’s clear that the builder values craftsmanship and attention to detail. I also feel the home offers great value for the price. I’m very happy with my new home and grateful for the team that made it happen.

Always, Always have a home inspected prior to purchase. So much wrong with our brand new home before we signed, even more found after close. A 12’ hole had to be dug to fix underground plumbing sewer line belly. We have lived here for 45 days and still have a laundry list of repairs needed. Trades are garbage with zero care for their given trade. We have bad flooring, subfloors, large holes in the walls, exposed copper. Took 45 days post close to get front landscaping. Landscape company is another nightmare. They have delayed, delayed blaming us as homeowners somehow for their delay and crappy work. Richmond builds as fast as possible and hopes the buyer doesn’t care about safety or fit & finish. Zero oversight of trades from the builder during construction and even less after close. Someone needs to be in the Quality Control mindset on the job site, unfortunately this isn’t the builder for that. The contractor who builds metal hand railing for Richmond walked right into our home like he owned the place after we moved in. He was supposed to replace the hand railing leading into the basement. This contractor has known about the faulty handrail for MONTHS. Of course the builder waits until after we have closed to approve the handrail to be replaced. This initial delay has now turned into a 6 week wait with no updates. We have no clue when our documented list of repairs will be completed. We were told that all neighbors had to share the expense of the back yard fencing. Of course my neighbor wants to avoid us like the plague now that we have paid for the entire fence. I urge anyone reading this to do more research on the builder in the area you are considering. Have your new build inspected!! Do not take possession until your list of repairs have been completed. I can tell you after 45 days we still have no end in sight for the easiest of repairs. Lord help us if something really bad happens to this home. Zero faith in this builder and their hired trades. This is a million dollar house Richmond. Do better! Hire better! Have some freaking oversight of your trades. Have some pride in the homes you build!! ... More

Response time and action taken is lengthy

The solution to the problems at home has not been quick, I have had to adapt to the schedules established by the contractors and sometimes they have not gone to my house to solve the problems, in other cases the contractors have not responded, that is, I am in my new house and I cannot show it complete to my friends and family because there are still things to repair, I hope they solve it soon.

They buying experience was made really easy with the help of Ester she was extremely help. Joel has been very responsive but with Josh the has he would reach out and schedule someone to fix some cracks on our corner beads and has not reach back out and scheduled any date for repairs. Most of the team for Richmond has been fantastic

The agent was wonderful. No pressure, just provided us with information and answered our questions timely and best as the agent can.

I got a good deal on the house. They worked with me on it and I thought it was very fair. The home seems to be of great quality. I am happy about everything.

I want to start by stating that we love our new home and are extremely happy with our purchase. I was a a bit skeptical since the onlone reviews on Richmond American were not that great, many of them were questioning the quality of the work. This is not the case so far with our purchase. The initial contact with the Deacon, our loan officer, was a bit lacking. We would request items and we would not hear from him for days or weeks. The closer we got to closing, not more attentive he was to us and our request. At the end of it all, he made up for it the closer we got to closing. Our sales rep, Wray, was awesome, he was attentive to all our request and to this day he still drives by and waves hello with a big ol’ smile on his face. Justin and his team also did pretty good. There are still some items that need to be fixed around the house, but we are in no hurry for them. We do wish we would get an update on and estimated time of completion. We ended with a half acre lot and we love our lot! The only thing that was disappointing was it wasn’t until towards the end of the buying process that we found out that there were limitations on what we can do to our backyard. There are certain easements lines all around our fence line that we are not allowed to build in. Also, the septic system take up more than half of the backyard and it’s highly recommended we don’t build our plant anything. ... More

Workmanship is bad..very bad, people who is in charge to help you, for example the super intendent of project bad, need to hire people who really wants to help the costumers needs. A lot of issues in a brand new home, still waiting for response..very bad experience.

I had an issue after moving in where I noticed a crack in the tub. It has been fixed correctly and looks great.

The overall experience buying a new construct home was 4 stars. The sales associate and representatives that front run the sales of Richmond homes were very professional! The home purchased was beautiful but did come with more after work than expected from a new construct. Nonetheless the Construction Manager stepped in to help and still being present until all repairs are made has been refreshing! Overall I know most experiences aren’t perfect so beginning to end I comment Richmond on where they are now as a company and the sky is the limit if they continuously strive for excellence!

Susan, the community representative, was amazing with providing information and timely responses. We actually looked at 2 communities with her and our realtor. We chose to finance through the builder taking advantage of their interest rate incentive. That process was a little stressful, but once we found the right representative, the issues at hand were quickly resolved. All in all, we are happy with our purchase and the craftsmanship of the house.

We were so excited to get into our new home. He likes the area and the sidewalks and the amenities nearby. However or happiness quickly went away on our walkthrough with Nicole at McCormick trails. She was incredibly unprofessional and abrupt, maybe because it was a Friday afternoon and she wanted to end her work week, we don't know. She was literally walking a few yards in front of us talking and walking fast like she wanted to get things done asap. We had questions and we were constantly belittled by her as she made us feel like we were stupid for asking them in the first place. My wife and I kept looking each other like we did something wrong. The entire walkthrough was like this from start to finish. After we were done she quickly got her car and left. Left a very bad taste in our mouth. But it doesn't stop there. Then for final walkthrough we had to endure the complete unprofessionalism and rudeness of Preston. As soon as I stepped out of my car I was so excited to see the house again as we're moving in soon. I went to introduce myself but instead Preston said is there anybody else with you and looked at his watch as it was 5 minutes before the start of the walkthrough and apparently he needed to get things done and wanted to start early. I explained to him that our realtor was nearby and wanted to a company us. Preston said I don't know why your realtor with you because I'm not changing anything in the house and we don't have to do anything that they point out. I then asked him if I did something wrong ? And then introduced myself, and try to get off on a better foot. Rather than be friendly and have a conversation you again was very coarse and said we don't even have to have Realtors come with us if we don't want to in fact we don't like having them here. At that point I just stepped away from him and waited until she arrived. What transpired after that was absolutely shocking. There was some painting that still needed to be done the mantle was not level in a few other things Etc and he literally said and I quote we don't have to fix that, or we're not going to do that, I've never run across anybody that was so immature and rude in that type of setting. He even raised his voice at us as we were getting frustrated trying to explain what we wanted. We would never want any of our friends to buy a house from Richmond American and go through the process that we did. I could explain further but I understand this is a limited space. Even as we are living in the house now, we try to not have any contact with either of theme. It was a very very odd and surprising chain of events to day the least. ... More

I’m happy to share that my home buying experience went very smoothly and exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, everything was handled with great care and professionalism. Communication was clear and timely, which made the process much less stressful than I anticipated.My realtor, my lender and my builder were all amazing and would definitely recommend .

we had a worry free experience-----during our purchase. Thanks

This was our third home buy. By far the easiest. We were happy that everything was handled in house. Sales agent, mortgage, insurance and even a recommended realtor. Everything was just easy

Elisa help to compliment, are dreams, she help step by step, until , the last and first day of closed ,,we give more these 5 starts thank you Again

I already submitted like 5 warranty issues in only 1 month of buying the house. Including and issue of the floor. Every time that rains a lot of water comes from the garage floor and living room. This is crazy!!

We were looking for a house expecting to buy a used home and planning on fixing it up. We come to look at a new build by Richmond just to see what it was all about. We weee deeply impressed not only with the home but the staff was super helpful and very responsive. Very happy with choice

Silvia was amazing throughout the entire home buying process. She was patient and was always willing to help and answer our questions. Josh was great during the closing process. He made sure that things were completed before we moved in and very polite.

We have had multiple issues in our brand new home ranging from many electrical, appliance and HVAC. Our last home was also brand new and we did not encounter one issue. Only lining in our home for one month, I am regretting my decision despite my initial love for the home. Speaking with neighbors, they have also encountered the same making me concerned why there continues to be issues. Dispute all these issues, they all have eventually been addressed and each person has been understanding, kind and professional.

Love my new home , JOSH and STAN are the best in the business.

We are absolutely delighted with our home purchase. We moved out of state to purchase our new home and the sale rep was very kind and always answered my calls and questions. She wasn’t pushy to make a sale and was spot on to what our monthly payment would be. I didn’t have any surprises during closing. We are very thankful for the help from the lenders who were patient. They were able to close quickly making our move as smooth as possible. We are grateful to the team. Thank you, Richmond America!

We worked with Laura and she was fantastic, very responsive and knowledgeable. Our house was in terrific shape and every question we had during the process was answered promptly.

I am very happy to be a homeowner finally. Richmond Homes is a great builder.
