Richmond American Homes Reviews

One of the 1st to buy and last to move in because they failed to preplan and see that the pole in my lot needed to be moved, took 2 yrs for me to move in and because it was rushed there have been all sorts of issues with the house. It's no wonder there have been several Class Action Lawsuits brought against them!

My experience was very bad from the beginning. The seller deceived me into signing a contract and giving my deposit by offering things I did not received. When I brought it up to a management absolutely nothing was done. I moved into a home I am not happy with. I will give them a zero if I could, the whole process was very bad.

The total experience with Richmond Homes has been a very disappointing and frankly a very unpleasant one. What is said and presented by the Sales Associate is not what you will get. You will find out that very cheap materials have been used, and very poor craftsmanship in construction of the home. Every time the shower and toilets are used on the second floor, the sound of the water coming down the pipes in the walls of the first floor is extremely loud and very annoying. The price of the home goes higher with additions given to you after you have placed your honest money for the downpayment later to discover you have been over charged for items that are standard in most homes. Once the mistakes are pointed out, they come back with a line, "my mother's house has the same thing installed" or "you can buy it at Home Depot and change it yourself" ... More

I would never buy from this company again. It’s so unfortunate with majority of the builders in Las Vegas hire out for teams to build all their homes, and these teams are so lazy and they’re rush to build these homes. The lending process is a joke they don’t communicate. Choose your own title company, the title company they choose, which is called Ticor Title is also a joke. Here’s my advice! Find your own agents don’t trust theirs! They work for the company and their best interest is the company! 1. Real estate agent 2. Loan agent 3. Home Inspector 4. Title company

Extremely dirty inside and out. Walls way out of square, paint rubs off of the walls with ease. Paint all over the exterior windows. Electrical outlets not connected. Would never purchase another home with this builder.

It wasn’t even ready by the time I signed. The seams of the wall can be seen through the paint, there’s dust every time i use my microwave. They didn’t have bedroom lights/fans. Numerous other issues.

The house was purchased under the assumption that it is new and will be covered under warranty if something is not right. That was a big mistake. The house was not ready on the date of closing with plenty of outstanding defects identified during pre-closing walk-through. The builder was not willing to fix them all before closing and forced us into closing or lose the deposit. The construction crew were working on the house even on the revised closing date. Then the repairs just stopped after closing and we have to chase down the superintendent constantly to work on the promised repairs. A lot of defects were still not fixed and now we deal with warranty team and it tried to exclude many defects that have been identified. Our move-in schedule was delayed because the house is still being fixed. The worst experience I have buying a house. ... More

This experience has been an absolute nightmare. Two days after move in, our downstairs bathroom flooding raw sewage. A month and a half later we’re STILL waiting for fixes! The super rarely answers the phone, and if he does, he has no idea the deadlines of material. The installers show up unannounced WITHOUT supplies because they thought Richmond was supplying everything. It’s a cluster mess and miscommunication around every corner.

Quality of work is horrific. It would not take much extra effort to do good work but nobody seems to care. Truly sad.

Since starting the process with Richmond American homes it has been a nightmare. The only good person i meet was the Sales agent, everyone after him has been horrible. I have been living in my home a month and I still cant get the company to fix all the all the problem I have in. these are problem that have been mentioned since I did my initial walkthrough of the home. If I could get out of my loan and go find another builder I will do it in a heartbeat. Since I signed the final paperwork i have been treated as if I don't exist at all. Now I have to figure out on my own hope to fix the problems in my home because after multiple emails ignored by their customer care team, I have to start coming out of pocket because my family safety is my only priority. ...

Richmond had too many houses they closed on in the same week so mine got half done. Paint, drywall, doors, trim, stucco, list goes on forever needs final touchups that were never done before closing. Really expect a better quality for a brand new house at this price. Supervisors have been less than helpful getting things fixed and now I have had to take off countless days from work and essentially not been able to move in fully for two months now wait on repairs including full paint in all rooms and no one at Richmond cares about the inconveniences it has caused me because they got their money. ...

Not a good experience.

Definitely not the experience i wanted to have on my first purchase. No built correctly so many details left out, they rush to built this community they dont care if its good or bad. Terrible experience not purchasing a richmond again. After a month still waiting for things to get fix from blue tape walk. Terrible, terrible!

Very Poor experience. They have yet to fix the issues with the home. They give an excuse for everything and push back on fixing items that need to be repaired or replaced. Very poor workmanship. Sliding door is broken, basement floor and carpet are poorly installed, plumbing, foundational issues etc. Buyer Beware!

Would not recommend to anyone

- Sales agent cancelled our contract and falsely stated it was agreed upon by purchaser/seller. - We were provided 3 different start dates of construction in 6-month timeframe. Earnest was placed on July of '23. Build did not start until February of '24. - Our several requests for change in sales agent was ignored. - We've had to file a police report on their sales agent for harassment. - Sales agent stated our selected options were all in order. Builder denies they were informed of the change order, and will not rectify the issue even though proofs were provided as requested. Thus, causing us a major loss in our appliances that was purchased based on the Home Change Order. -Breach of contact. -Interior build was sloppily put together, yet, the superintendent advised he QA's everything. Interior feels like it was put together by subpar tradesmen. Tape lines present, visible mudding/taping between sheets, uneven paint, missed paint, uneven texturing throughout, hallway has a half inch drop in entry height. - Multiple windows shows damage to the framing, i.e. dents, and gouges. - Home Inspector advised of deficiencies in inspection report. While the superintendent stated he repaired it all, it was a blatant false statement. -Flooring was called out as being uneven during our walkthrough. Superintendent stated they are allowed a tolerance. This is true, however, per ROC, it should not be visible, or noticeable. It is clearly visible. - Can't take more than a 4–5-minute shower as the water will not stay hot. -Garage door was improperly installed. Superintendent advised he fixed it, but the tracks are making considerable noise when in operation. -Brand new dish washer was never functional; superintendent stated that he ran one cycle. GE appliance repair technician confirmed unit never worked. -Customer service is lacking. Builder will not commit to providing repair time lines, or acknowledgement of issues. Superintendent, instead will try to justify workmanship or advise their trades won’t correct the issue. -HVAC system did not work for two days, coincidently during our home inspection and 1st walkthrough, after it was noted, the drywall had water saturation from a broken window left unsealed for several days during the monsoon season. Builder would not provide reason for defective unit, or what was repaired. Rooms have uneven air flow while home inspector noted the HVAC ducts were the worst dented ones he's ever seen. I cannot use an air filter higher than a Merv 8 (most basic for home use) before the ducts start making loud noises. We require a higher Merv air filter due to my partners respiratory issues from his time in service. This HVAC issue was mentioned to the builder, and no response. - We wasted our time identifying issues in our walk through as they were not repaired. We were advised that the superintendent corrected majority of the issues before closing, but the issues remain. - Due to the mishaps with Richmond American Homes, my partner and I both have seek professional mental health. The entire process has injured our mental , physical, and wellbeing. -Initial loan officer did not request needed documentation to process our loan after we received our pre approval. Financing advised that it was the purchaser who did not provide requested documentation. Even the new sales agent attempted to say it was the purchaser who did not respond to financing inquiry. It was always the purchaser who had to reach out to the finance department to see if they needed any documentation. -The only positive experience we had was our direct communication with the Finance Regional Manger after our issues. She was the only person at MDCH that provided updates in a timely manner. ... More

By far this has been the worse experience ever. The entire loan process was ridiculous and overkill, the house was filthy dirty when i received it, my fridge is missing a filter, my garbage disposal wasnt working and i had to pay out of pocket to fix it. I had beer bottles left in my backyards and still had some tape left from the marked areas that needed fixing. Very dissatisfied and the only reason that I finished the pricess waa because of my situation I was in. Beautiful homes but that’s all.

If I had it to do over I’d never buy a house from them. Do yourself a favor and run as fast as you can in the other direction.

Suzanne is exceptional; she consistently answers all questions and offers any assistance possible, significantly enhancing the experience. My first walk-through went smoothly, and we addressed all issues. However, my second walk-through was disappointing. I drove two hours only to find that the issues hadn't been resolved. After living here for a month and two weeks, I'm still missing a screen door and there are several areas with yellow paint that need repainting. Half of the electrical outlets are not functioning. Despite reporting these issues on the service app from day one, I haven't received any follow-up calls. It's disheartening to use all your savings to purchase a home and find it not meeting standards. ... More

Told I could have fence when buying and when I followed procedure through HOA was told fences are not allowed. Covenant 6.15 on page 15 says fences are allowed. My well being and quality of life are diminished and I am sorry I bought here. The 60k I put down could have gone to more suitable place for my family. I am violated here and every time I walk by the model homes with the fence around them, I relive the violation.

My experience is very long and has many moving parts that to date are still not wrapped up. This is/was a horrible experience. So as briefly as I can try to summarize, we were lied too by sales, by construction, and flat out blown off by the customer experience person I reached out too as well as someone named Debbie that was named along the way as someone who was supposed to be helping us, we’ve been brushed off and passed around from just about everyone I’ve spoken too minus Paul in finance. The only way I can get any straight answers is if I am constantly trying to contact a new person who rarely responds but send my message to the original person. I’ve been told my issues will be escalated and they were once. Then passed back down the line. I’ve done my best to be open minded during this experience because I know that we are not the only ones who not only have had a problem but because I understand that things happen, but that understanding has become just me fighting to be priority at some level. I’d love to begin to enjoy my home and move forward. There are just so many unfinished or new items that need attention that aren’t being taken care of. Over all I can not give a positive review and my impression of Richmond American Homes is horrible. ... More

Our experience with Richmond America has been extremely disappointing, primarily due to being misled multiple times throughout the process. First, we were lied to about how the incentives work. Additionally, we were given an incorrect cash-to-close amount, which was nearly double what we were initially told. Despite having my child support amount accurately listed on all signed papers, I was treated with suspicion and accused of lying about it. This resulted in the child support not qualifying, and I was required to pay off all my remaining debt to get approved. This process took about a month to resolve. After finally getting our house, the issues only continued. During our first walk-through, we pointed out several problems that still have not been fixed. The attitude from Rafael, our point of contact, has been particularly frustrating. He dismissively told us that no house is perfect, which we understand, but the number of issues we found is unacceptable. For instance, the backyard grass was dead, and we were told it would come back to life, which it never did. Even our lawn care professional confirmed that the grass was dead. We sent an email about a month ago detailing all the issues we found, and we were promised a response within 3-4 days, but we never heard back. I sent another email yesterday requesting an update and to provide additional issues. Since then, I have discovered two more problems: our sliding door doesn’t stay closed, and three plants have died despite daily rain. Overall, the entire process has been horrible, and our experience with Richmond America has left us feeling frustrated and disappointed. ... More

Easily the worst home I’ve ever purchased. From quality of materials, craftsmanship, and customer service. Buy elsewhere.

Horrible from start to finish! Everything was wrong and communication was poor never will I ever buy or recommend a Richmond American home.

Ongoing major problems with plumbing, construction and final finish. Sales was not a good experience.
