Richmond American Homes Reviews

We love our home now that it is done. However, every builder has issues. Make sure you ask detailed questions, and don't expect everything in the model home to be included in the one you pick. One example is the closets, the model had nice shelving in all the closets. When we asked about it being included they said it would be "exactly like the model". they later stated that those closets are not an option and we had to pay to have them as a "custom change" Great floor plans, overall good quality, and a lot of value for the money you pay.

Suzanne was amazing!!! She was very helpful and knew all the information required. We used to come every other weekend to see the process since we were excited about the new house. I remember there was a weekend in which we couldn't come and she kindly sent us pictures (she noticed we didn't go on that weekend). The buying process was a little bumpy. We decided to used their lender and go through their people since I was told they all communicate with each other. At times I was overwhelmed because they kept asking me for things I had already submitted and it seemed they didn't communicate with each other at all. It was a good experience, but I think it could have been better. ... More

Overall a good experience, however I believe that due to Richmond trying to build too many homes as the same time that the attention to detail has been left behind. There where major issues on the day of closing that had to be corrected after moving in. All of the items have been completed but they should have been done on the day of close. If we had not needed a home to move into, it is possible that we would not have accepted the home the way that is was.

I wished the Richmond American homes builders would put quality materials and closets in these new build homes. The builders put wire shelves in the closets and pantry, which is the cheapest way to go. Just build it quality and put it back in the price if you have to. Now, the new home owners are forced to hire a contractor to add hanging poles and shelves in all closets and pantry. Plus, Richmond American homes builders should have added a coat closet in the front living room. Lastly, Richmond American homes builders should have made a small basement. These model home crawl spaces are huge and should have added stairs and made it a small basement for storage and for the furnace and hot water heater. ... More

Quality. Good craftsmanship. The Builder team very polite and professional.

My sales person Anthony was great! Followed up very well with my questions and paperwork. The superintendent Brian has been very helpful. However, the title company dropped the ball, very delayed forms, I only had 2 days. Big rush.

We purchased our first homes from Richmond. The long and stressful process was marred by the sales associate, as she was inattentive and careless. She failed to order the appliances, so we had to remind her of them. They were delayed and arrived late, so we had to discard all of our refrigerated groceries upon move-in. We explained the situation to her, and she simply ignored our calls and emails. We still have not received an apology from her. Overall, we are happy with our home, and we love its design and layout. The paint job was done poorly, as it will take a while for us to remove all the pain splattered on all outlet covers, stove, baseboards, and doors. ... More

The salesman and construction super were great. But the subcontractors who actually did the work are sloppy and don’t have very much regard for the mess they leave for the new owners. There was paint spatter throughout the house, exposed holes in the wall and ceiling, appliance not installed correctly, sink fixture not installed correctly, and the backyard littered with construction debris (nails, broken roof tiles, paint dumped on the ground), and plenty of cigarette butts. Most of this will be corrected, but the backyard is the homeowner responsibility. It will be a beautiful home, but only after the homeowner identifies the shoddy work of the subcontractors. ... More

We had a good experience with Richmond American and the house we were provided with we like a great deal; we believe it meets our needs and expectations for the most part. Their customer service is impeccable, and all follow up and questions are addressed promptly. Yet, there are improvement areas in terms of attention to detail in the workmanship as well as the follow up of rollover items pre and post move-in that need to be addressed to make the experience great and completely satisfactory.

Our Experience was good overall. The only issue we ran into was when it came to the walkthough. The project manager was not being helpful at all with the issues we found during the building process. We were told that it was just that way by the project manager. We ended up having to reach out to a regional rep to get the issues taken care of.

Our overall experience was great. Terin was exceptionally great. She was on top of every one of our needs. Even when our loan officer Alyssa made it difficult in every way during the process, Terin was always there going above and beyond what her duties were to get us information and help that we needed in order to close our home. Some of the best customer service Lauren and I have ever experienced. We are forever in her debt. There are some things with the home that we are upset about since being in the home but no house is built perfect and we understand that and have learned a lot through this process. Richmond Homes has been good to us thus far and look forward to the years to come in our home. ... More

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

Our overall experience with Richmond was normal. Ms. Ranesha was awesome and helped as much as she could. Overall, we have no complaints.

Richmond American has great incentives right now. It was a super tight time line to close on a move-in ready home. Using their in-house lender was challenging, but it all worked out in the end. We got a modern, energy efficient home in a great neighborhood. What more can you ask for?

From the sales team to the warranty claims department (after my purchase), I have been blessed with good people. Thank you.

pleasant experience, everyone at the sales office was very helpful and professional. answered all my questions and returned my calls promptly. made the process less stressful...house was clean and ready to move in...

Alex is very experienced and helpful getting my concerns addressed.

First of all the staff assisting the buying experience were great except for the lady who replaced Melisa (Melisa was awesome). Even the small hiccups were addressed except the north backyard wall that at the top you can walk easily into our neighbors yard and they can with ours. We are hoping that they fix this with just a couple of blocks.

The home has premium finishes and is a good value, especially using the builder's mortgage subsidiary. The buying process was pretty smooth, but very rushed with timeline and the time you have for walk-throughs. You also cannot go with a home inspector to the home and the inspector must be approved by the builder. You are pressured into using subsidiaries for financing and insurance. While there is some misleading marketing pressure, those companies are not responsive. The punchout list was completed, but some finishing touches could have used more care. We also were missing a screendoor and the brackets for a pre-installed TV mount. We've been told the screendoor will be installed when they're back in the community, but the phone number provided to install the TV does not work and the company we were told to use has not responded when we tried a number we found on their website. Overall, we are very happy with the value and love our new home and community. Just expect some minor bumps along the way and a rushed closing process. ... More

Tanner was amazing to work with. He answered all my questions . Only problem I had was with the builder inspector.

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

Overall, we enjoy our new home and development. It has become obvious that cost cuts and trades that don't take pride in their work was evident. The walls on both sides of our property needed to be higher. Everyone could see into each other's backyard,

I really love our new home it’s amazing beginning to feel like it was meant to be. Our neighbors are very nice and helpful. Which we have never had before. Aside from there not being enough drawers in the house. It was a pretty good experience.

The office staff was amazing. Jennifer and Teresa always made me feel welcome and did their best to answer questions and address my concerns. I like the floor plan and feel the home is well built, but I do not like that I had absolutely no say in the finishes or the quality. I have already replaced some of the lighting and hardware and I am sure we’ll have to replace fixtures and flooring in a few years. There also was no option to insulate the garage or garage doors, which is a must in Arizona weather. I purchased the home because they offered RV garages, which are great. So far, customer service has also been accommodating. ... More

Very happy to have been able to close earlier then expected.
