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.

I had a great experience with Richmond American Homes at the Seasons at University District. Everyone I worked with was easy to communicate with and guided me through the entire process seamlessly. The home is lovely, and I couldn't have asked for better quality. Highly recommend!

Not the greatest

This is my 4th new construction, all with different builders and the quality of the workmanship has been the worst so far. After a month none of the “within 30 day” repairs have been completed. Several rusty nails have been found in the front and back yards. The yard has many low spots in excess of 6”. The sod along the back fence was dead, promised to be fixed and never was. I replaced it myself. Floor boards were replaced once and require continue work due to the replacement damaging adjacent boards. Several area of trim work still need to be fixed. The builder rep makes several promises to ...

These houses scream one thing … CHEAP…. You would think when you pay 300+k for a new construction it would come with little to no problems Right ? WRONG …first off, irrigation was busted when I moved in , 2nd main bathroom had exterior leak… once u buy the house the communication is immediately cut inhalf… this house can’t go a month without an issue.. 3rd problem is floor creeks so badly in 3 different spots can’t use the bathroom without waking up the wife..

THE PRE-SALE EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD AND HIGH QUALITY. HOWEVER ONCE I SIGNED , THINGS FLIPPED AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SALES AGENT AND THE WARRANTY PERSON HAS BEEN SUPER ROUGH. I WILL LIKELY THINK TWICE BUYING WITH RICHMOND AMERICAN AGAIN.

We love the location and floorplan of the home. The process to purchase the home was smooth. For the price of the home, I believe the builder used subpar finishes. No pendant lighting or room lighting other than outlets, no drawers in bathrooms, no backsplash. They've never repaired our slider that has a torn screen. It was on the check list but not corrected. Several items that should have been caught by at least the inspector, we are now waiting to have repaired through the warranty like no cold water in the kitchen. Who checks that? We didn't. Once we moved in, very little ...

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience. Our walk through was not done correctly. There was a few things that were not disclosed when we first looked at the house. Things that need to be fixed before closing werent, the super was no where to be found. The list goes on. The issues that got rolled over havent been fixed ,again super nowhere to be found. Took about 3-4 weeks of me calling around for information and finally got a hold of a gentleman that is now moving things along. Some items have been fixed and finally someone that you can actually count on answering and getting you ...

Stock homes only with no flexibility to alter the smallest detail. Material used and appliances are mostly dated. Sales team is pretty considerate but have no say with design. Designers likely work with limited SKUs but designs and materials need to be refreshed to current trends

The loan officers suck at their jobs and don't understand what a non-profit business is, this caused a lot of issues when purchasing a home

Carin from Richmond American Home was an Amazing salesman made for an easy care free buying experience. I give the hole buying experience a 10/10. Patricia from Guardian Title made for a smooth closing not one issue the hole time. Gave good information for easy care stress free Closing Day, also another 10/10. Can't express enough how they both made for best experience for buying my 1st home and a New build at that. Thanks and God Bless.

Great Overall First Home Experience with some Annoyances

Working with Suzanne was an absolute pleasure. As a first-time homebuyer, I appreciated her advocacy and the knowledge she shared throughout the process. Her expertise and dedication made buying a home manageable and enjoyable! However, I’ve faced some challenges with home care and communication with the superintendent and others. While these issues have been frustrating, I am hopeful they will be resolved soon. Nice guy, but probably busy, but I only care about the end result ultimately. The paint and baseboards are abysmal. Not a huge fan of the gaslighting by one of their other reps ...

We had a great buying experience from Richmond American for our townhome in the Aurora Highlands. Thank you to Mick, the superintendent, who went above and beyond to present the house perfectly at closing and quickly attend to any loose ends after the sale. Having Mick as our superintendent really made our buying experience one of a kind and we would definitely recommend anyone to buy from Richmond American due to this.
