Richmond American Homes Reviews in Salt Lake City Ogden, UT

enjoyed watching the house get put together. I got updates weekly on the progress. I have less stress knowing that there is a warranty for the home and that as things settle we will be covered.,

Richmond took great care of us and really cared about the product they were selling. Any of the few issues were addressed quickly and eh house is really well built. Very happy with the home and the building process.

It’s the most wonderful and beautiful home that I ever seen the quality of the home makes the whole neighborhood look beautiful and specially in the location. Thank you for all you guys do keep it up.

My house looks like a show place.

They were very responsive and kind to deal with.

Great experience from start to finish!

From start to finish, we had a great experience with Richmond Homes. Don and Jason were great to work with, and very responsive to our questions.

Mike is an outstanding sales agent. He worked very closely with us as we went through the process of buying our home. I would work with him anytime.

I spent a month and a half looking at homes all over the Salt Lake Valley, and it was a miserable experience. Just as I was about to give up the search I found my new home. Richmond American Homes was phenomenal to buy from. I was so tired of putting out offers on homes, so it was a miracle when I was able to sign a contract on my home the same day! Desiree in the sales office absolutely brought the whole sale together. She offered great insights and advice, and was very patient and enthusiastic about the work. I can't thank her enough! I love my home and have been eager to show it off to all of my friends and family! ... More

Everyone I worked with was so friendly and helpful. I loved the entire experience. Would defienetly go with Richmond Homes again, but I don't think I'll ever want to part with the home we just got. I loved getting the weekly updates with pictures showing what was completed each week throughout the building process.

Thank you Richmond for building our dream home. Our buying process with Nick was smooth, clear and to the point. Nick helped us with the questions even though he was on paternal. Thanks a ton Nick. We trusted Richmond builders and are very happy to be part of Richmond Family.

The home is good buth the sale say me live the curtains but not live noting I'm waiting

Richmond Homes are very workable group. They care about me as a customer and helped me a lot in purchasing my home. I am very happy to be able to get a beautiful home from Richmond.

Overall, I had a great experience with Richmond homes. The closing process was a little clunky and it seemed as soon as I sent in documents I requested more documents were requested. It would’ve been nice to have a checklist of every document required for closing so that I could just turn everything in at once. Other than that things went well

It is a good looking house, there are some things that could be better, but the relation house/price is totally worthy.

Better don’t go to Richmond preferred lender. It’s a life long traumatic experience. They operate with a selfish, customer don’t care approach. It’s haunting and my body became weak due to huge stress.

The house itself was delivered ok. The workmanship was less than stellar. When we did the final walkthrough we placed lots of blue tape but maybe 10% was fixed and then the clean up was terrible. When you move into a new home you shouldn’t have to clean up before moving in. We found lots of drywall dust in wall and trim throughout the home. The front door looks terrible with bubbling paint and streaks. The painters were sent back but it looks worse now. When we did the 30 day checkup she assured us that it will be taken care of. I really like the home but the little things make it hard to be happy about paying so much for a house. When everything is completely taken care of then I’m sure I will feel better about things. ...

Warranty service seems to never respond

Fit and finish of completed homes should match the model homes but builder is too rushed to complete houses resulting in less than ideal quality. Sales team and building superintendent are knowledgable and very easy to work / communicate with.

We love our home. The preferred lender was really great. I feel like the builder agent could have communicated a bit better. It caused a delay of a few months and we had to spend several thousand on an apartment. They wouldn't sell us the lot we wanted because our down payment was contingent on selling our house. We went under contract for a different lot being very clear we intended to transfer to the lot we wanted if it was still available. The home we wanted was supposed to be finished late September/early Oct. But once we went under contract for the lot we didn't want, they stopped working on the house we wanted and rushed to finish the house we put a deposit on. We sold our house, did everything to transfer the paperwork to the original lot we wanted only to find out that now it wouldn't be done until mid December. Kind of threw a wrench in Christmas. The builder also didn't notify us that the house was built 10' further back than the plot map showed until we were under contract. This makes the backyard very small, but we've come to appreciate that we have a view out our side windows whereas everyone else has a view of their neighbors' windows. That's all just some feedback. All of the above will be just a silly memory in a few years. Just odd that they'd stop construction on a house that had a buyer to focus on building a house we told them we weren't interested in. Overall we're very VERY happy and the warranty people, especially Trudy are absolutely phenomenal and fantastic to work with. ... More

There were a few things that needed to be fixed. We called but we're not getting anywhere, but finally got someone to respond and they apologized and things went forward. They were very responsive after that . Most of our issues have now been addressed. The home itself is nice and we are happy with it.

We love our new home and we are overall happy in it. The homes and the neighborhood is beautiful and there is plenty of space. It is also very quiet inside the home so even with construction still happening we don’t bear anything when inside. I’m giving three stars because considering how expensive things are, and how experienced Richmond is in building homes, things should be completed by closing and the warranty should be a last option. Instead, Richmond relies on making the buyer file a warranty claim rather than just having everything complete in the first place. If you do need to file a warranty claim you will have to wait 30-45 days before you can even get that process started. ... More

Michelle was the second representative I had. She was fantastic she sent new pictures of the my build every week and updates.i do love my new home!

- Financing deals-felt like they tried to get out of offering to us on a technicality. Very frustrating. - Blue tape- they out it everywhere so it essentially meant nothing. Plenty of imperfections after blue tape - Yard landscaping. They put down mulch with no ground cover. Terrible recipe for weeds. Cheap. - Wouldn’t let us change common sense things. Don’t put down mulch where we are immediately about to put grass. This just makes more work for us. We asked them not to paint the bannister so we could paint it a better color (saves them money saves us time) they said absolutely not. - The in house financing has zero customer service. I had to micromanage the process. They never had answers for me about rates and deals. Darrell was specifically hard to work with. We had the go find another house and threaten to walk on our earnest money to get the rate deals that Richmond was literally advertising on their website. They tried to screw us on a technicality when they told us in the sales office that we could get those rate deals. - Selling our current house at their pre-determined price is LUDICROUS. They clearly want a choke hold on every part of the deal. They didn’t care about our best interest. They wanted to protect their deal. We almost left 30k on the table if we had sold without getting an appraisal first. - The title company was fantastic. - The house was great and we love the space and price. - The rate deals were the only reason we were willing to buy. Keep these. - Melissa was great to work with but lacked the authority to make and inform on key decisions. Rate deals, negotiate price, etc. - sprinkler controller outside. Wires exposed to elements etc. - the bulbs flicker whenever appliances run - it’s because of cheap light bulbs. The electrician that Richmond sent out to tell us we just bought a cheap house showed up 1.5 hours late just to tell me to screw off and I have to buy new bulbs. He did it nicely but huge waste of time - they forgot to finish the two tone paint and paid us at closing to prevent a delay. 4 months in the house and everything is chipping. ... More

Took 8 months from contract to move-in due to multiple delays. Simple punch list items and warranty items still outstanding 3 months after move-in. Unable to commit to when included landscaping will be done. Superintendent is overwhelmed. In-house financing was executed poorly and closing was unprofessional.
