Richmond American Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Char is very knowledgeable about the process and all my questions and concerns were addressed promptly. I have never felt this happy and comfortable in a home. I love my new home.

The best part of my buying experience was getting a quality house and dealing with a very helpful sales agent. Worse part the incompetent loan company I had to send the same documents multiple times. I have excellent credit it took them forever to approve me. We got close to losing the lock on the interest rate. The construction team were not responsive to close the punch list before the closing date and we moved to a dirty house.

Our Richmond Home experience was not good. We will not build with Richmond homes again, and would not recommend it to family and friends. If fact we would ask them to steer clear! We felt significant pressure to close the house at the end of the month, only to find out the following month had better incentives & that others got $20-30K more in incentives. We paid a lot premium $20K to have a mountain view. Was told there were tennis courts going in behind us. When we moved in the houses they started building houses behind us and our view is almost all lost. This was one of the main reasons we choose this community. The closing was an absolute disaster. Richmond provided us a date for closing. We flew down to close the house only to find out it was not ready. There was no communicate on this. Also our sales agent was gone at this time, we were passed along to three different people. Eventually we started working directly working with the project manager directly (not sure why this was our responsibility) and it kept getting pushed out with lack of communication. This resulted in complications with the title company and we ended up incurring over $3k in cost as a result. When the sales associate got back we asked to speak to manager multiple times. We've never heard back from anyone and was told the cases was closed. We've been in the house for 2 months and still have not had our 30 day inspection. ... More

Tanner did an amazing job! Always there for all of our questions (we had a lot!) Came by to see how we were doing a month after we moved in. Never had that type of customer service when buying a home!

Took longer than it should have to be able to close on the house as repairs were not done in a timely manner and we were lied to about some of the repairs being completed. My inspector found water damage 3 to 4 inches high on all of the kitchen cabinets. The superintendent Gilbert continued to say there was not a flood in the kitchen. Even after I brought a moisture meter that showed the cabinets were 30% wet. I asked for a water restoration team to come and inspect the cabinets and walls as I have dealt with these issues in my previous employment. I had to get Rich our sales associate involved and his supervisor as I told them I would not close until the walls and cabinets were inspected for mold. Sales associate said if the old superintendent was still with the company he would have already taken care of this. Took a week to get them to bring in Serv-Pro who found mold behind two of the walls, and they had to remove cabinets drywall and insulation. Afterwards then they ordered two new cabinets and kick plates for the others. When my inspector returned several of the items on the list that Gilbert said were done were NOT done. After asking the sales associate if I needed to hire an attorney to get the repairs done, they came and made the repairs and ordered new screen doors. The screen doors were supposed to be installed the middle of November. My realtor has been inquiring about the screen doors and consistently received the response waiting on the contractor. Gilbert’s supervisor got involved today and the doors should be here tomorrow. The lack of motivation on Gilberts part and always blaming the contractor is unacceptable. If he worked for me, he would have been terminated especially over the water damage issues. After moving in I submitted a warranty claim as the rear manual RV garage door only opens up 6ft; the 6 foot cinder block wall between our house and the neighbors wobbles and is ready to fall over; front door does not close properly; bathroom counter top has numerous scratches; and no caulk around the bathroom tub. Received a reply email saying they were backlogged but eventually the repairs would be made. Hopefully the wall does not fall over while we are waiting and injures one of our pets. Both my realtor and my inspector said Gilbert was rude and defensive when they asked him about items that were found wrong. I gave him the benefit of the doubt until he lied to me saying the items were fixed and they were not. Time for a new superintendent! ... More

The home buying experience with Richmond was not a walk-in-the park. We experienced a lot of miscommunications or lack of communication starting from their office agent, to their preferred lenders, to walk throughs, escrow and immediately after move-in. We constantly have to call, text or email and it takes days to receive an answer or a resolution to our concerns.

My family and me we are so happy. And in my family we are happy to come across the right people.

Our first view of the models in Rio Rancho and the excellent customer service provided by Geraldine had us sold. She was very professional and went through several scenarios with us so we understood options. She suggested that we visit models located in another community so we could physically see the model we wanted to make sure we loved it before we committed. She is definitely an asset to Richmond American. Once the build was started we met with Mike and Chris throughout the process and they were extremely approachable, knowledgeable and answered our many questions along the way. When there were issues they were there to assist. Their communication skills and knowledge are invaluable for anyone under their care that is buying a Richmond American home. As first time, new home construction buyers, we are extremely grateful for the professionalism of the team that we worked with – Geraldine, Mike and Chris. We are thankful for their time and hard work on our behalf. ... More

We have had but excellent service. All staff has followed thru and taken care of all issues that have arised.

I purchase this home with Richmond because of the reputation and quality of the homes, I love my home. Will I buy again from Richmond American? NO! Manger Kim it is the most rude, condescending, disrespectful person I ever came across. Mortgage processor Paul, same condescending attitudes , did not disclosed loan fees and wasn’t responding to email or request to return calls. To busy for me. Closing process, walkthrough delay,Tom need it to have things done before closing and had 2 weeks to ge it done,, nothing was done.I’m still waiting) move in a month ago. Took 11 month to build and it was one of the last homes on subdivision, NO communication! I only had a good experience with one person was Casey, always willing to help, the problem is every body else don’t respond to him either. Very unfortunate that people ruin the home buying experience, like the homes but i will not recommend to my family and friends. ... More
