Richmond American Homes Reviews in Salt Lake City Ogden, UT

- 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.

The beginning process was great, onece it came to finish work absolute trash, light fixtures secured to sheet rock not the boxes, tile alignment, paint work all trash, the hand rail to the stairs missing hardware if used it falls off the wall.

We moved into a corner lot with a water tank behind us, the entire water tank is surrounded by a rock wall and in several other residents backyards but ours. When trying to get answers as to why we did not get a rock wall fence as well no had any answers. The city decided to put up an ugly barb wire prison fence directly in our backyard. When trying to get answers on who the developers were to discuss other options NO ONE KNEW. No one seemed to know anything! There’s no reason we would have thought anything but that rock wall would have just continued over for us like it did for EVERYONE ELSE, we feel tricked and lied to. We were originally tricked when we started the process by our sales agent Desiree who told me we had up to 90 days before closing to back out and get our $20,000 deposit back which turned out to be a lie. Once the house was built we found a lot of sloppy work to be done and getting someone out to fix issues has been a super long waiting game. ... More

We’ve had a lot of issues after buying the home. A lot of poor quality work done on the home. Many things not put together well, the upstairs bathroom flooded after a storm because there is an issue with the roof or the pipes and now we’re worried about mold and water damage from every storm before that. We’ve appreciated quick responses to our warentee requests to address these issues. And that we are under warentee, but very disappointed in how poorly the condition of our new home was in.

I was not given all the information that is necessary for me. They just need money, That’s is all they need, don’t care about the customer experience. The sale representative is rude. I shouldn’t have bought home with them but it’s too late. I wouldn’t recommend others to this place.

The entire process was difficult and slow. Building supervisor never had much info on what or when things would be complete. Asked questions and never got responses. Always had excuses for delays and issues. Would never take responsibility for issues.
