Richmond American Homes Reviews

My superintendent is very professional and knowledgeable.

The home buying process was easy, and our sales person, Dale, was responsive and answered all of our questions. Janelle with the mortgage side of it was great! She was very responsive and patient with us as we worked through the process. We appreciated that. Our home tour was very thorough. Richard and Jared were very informative and have been great with follow up. We really like our 8 foot doors throughout our home, including the garage door. We especially love our paver brick driveway and patio. It adds a beautiful touch to the front of our home. The only negative would be that the cleaning of the home prior to move-in did not meet our expectations. We had to clean some things when we moved in….white grout residue on kitchen tile backsplash and tile in master bath shower. The floor tiles had some smeared grout and paint specks in some areas. Overall, we are very happy with our new home and would recommend Richmond American to our family and friends. ... More

First, shout out to Ken (Area Dir of Construction?), you rock. We wouldn't be here if you hadn't stepped in. The sales rep, Gina, was wonderful. I always felt she was working hard for us to have a positive experience. After adjustments were made to the field team and Cody took over, we felt there was very good organization and responsiveness up to the closing and then beyond the closing to complete items that needed adjustment/replacement. We love our new home and look forward to many years of enjoyment. Thank you Richmond American.

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

Still waiting for refund from purchase, have not received an update when it will happen or why it’s taking so long it’s been over 6 weeks since we took possession of the home. That is the reason why I deducted starts.

We bought our first house and in general we are very happy. I would have like that they have spend a little extra on some of the products Special the cabinets in the kitchen, I would have prefered more draws. The light installation is fine but there is some details that could have been fixed for cost less than a $100 and I would have been happy to pay the difference. The findings we have had they ahve respond very fast and it have been a pleasure to work with them

We enjoy our new home and love the view. The walkthrough, purchasing, and handoff process went great until they tell you the things you need to do before you can move into the house. Beware that you need to seal the grout, fill the joints in the garage floor, and run a new sprinkler control wire so that we can add zones for the back yard.

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!

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.
