Was not given an estimate of closing costs for a cash sale. Was very surprised to learn a few days before closing that the costs were $7000.

Overall good quality home with lack of attention to detail

The builder did a good job on the essentials of the home, however they did not give attention to detail to a myriad of issues that are not covered by the 1-year warranty.

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.

We love the floor plan. They were flexible with our requirements for closing. Has taken a couple of months to resolve all the build issues. None were overly major, but a lot of small things add up. There was also a disclosure issue surround the totally unnecessary HOA, whose existence and terms were not provided until after we closed.

Linda was amazing throughout our process. We could have used more time of a second visit at the design studio as we felt rushed through that process. Over all things were great on the site. The walkthroughs were great, the only thing I would change is maybe more of them. Since the house took some time to complete this would have just kept us a bit more in the loop. After being in a month things look great. We have addressed a few issues with the month follow-up and will see how they are taken care of. It has been a great experience for us and would recommend.

From beginning to end, the Richmond American team have been attentive to detail and had the best communication with my husband and I during the home buying process. The sales agent, super intendant and home care specialist were always professional, personable and was always available to answer my questions.

We’re very happy in our new home and are pleased with the work put in to it. This was our first time building a home so we were learning along the way. Our biggest struggle was in the beginning. Our sales agent did not cash our check for the lot we wanted and was difficult to get answers from in a timely manor. About a week later, she responded by saying another couple had purchased that lot. We don’t understand how she wouldn’t have known that before we gave her a check for more then $20,000. We tried on another lot she advertised and wrote a new check. She came back to us later saying that ...

Pretty ok

The home buying experience was pretty decent, however I didn't like how I was expected to read all my paperwork and understand all the terminology used, without anyone going over it with me. Being a first time home buyer it would have been nice if someone took the time to go over things with me. I couldn't share my documents with my realtor either. Responsiveness to issues is very poor, it took 3 weeks to address my garage door opener issue, and nearly 2 months to obtain a working set of keys to my home.

I'm sorry to hear there were some frustrations with your experience. If there are any other outstanding warranty issues, please email me at jeff.jenkins@mdch.com and I can reach out to our team on your behalf.

Overall I had a good experience buying my first home. My sales rep was amazing. She reassured me the entire time, didn’t pressure me, and overall made me feel like I could do it. Buying your first home can be so nerve wracking but she was such a calming presence and made it a lot smoother. The loan officer I worked with was awesome too. She was very responsive and laid everything out clearly. I had a great experience with the title company as well. Very responsive, answered all my questions and signing went very smoothly. Where the issues started happening was with the loan processor (or back ...

Builder realtor name Katrina is very nice and she helped me with all the things I need. She is very approachable. The house plan is very nice only one thing didn’t meet my expectations is the flooring. I was told in the first place that the flooring is white vinyl but it turned out as light brown. Also David still has 3 things to complete in the house until now he still not scheduling to complete it.

Oliver is wonderful and truly one of the best parts of purchasing with Richmond. He is there for every little thing you need. Incredible communication. The cons: there were a few miscommunications with their mortgage company relating to their incentive. Also the workmanship could def. be better. They will fix everything you ask so it seems they rely heavily on waiting until you ask for it. Overall, the community will be lovely and we are happy with our purchase so far.

We feel that the motto was “ build a home For as inexpensive as we can. No way to hook up a water softener No way to make changes when the house hasn’t even been framed ( little changes even) Heating registers are at the bare minimum
