Richmond American Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

Sales officer disappeared before closing. Obtained our keys for the model from another sales associate. Repairs still pending 4 weeks from closing. Poor quality craftsmanship on all trades. Greatly disappointed!

Josh was fantastic. There were a few hiccups. It wasn't a great experience but it wasn't bad. House is great. Process felt really pushy so it was annoying to have to sort of block that off a bit. Overall Josh was great. Process was mediocre from a customer service perspective. Our home is awesome.

Most of the actual buying facts that we responded to were not correct or they were altered to fit Richmond Homes. We were told we were purchasing our home at 2.99 3.99 4.99, never happened. We put an additional $15,000 dollars down to qualify for all the great rates, but that dismal a difference either. We. Were quoted a price, and interest rate and payment from our sales person. They were not accurate and when we went back to question him he left quite. We had know one to help. Even though it was quoted in print it didn’t seem to matter. Then there is the flooding and poor excavation of our property. If it rains we are flooded out on two sides and our back yard. ... More

I was told my house isn’t worth the asking price and it could appraise for less. It did not. They used this as a sales tactic to convince me to buy at an inflated price. They offer incentives but it’s a far stretch to get them to utilize all of them. Tried negotiating with them for weeks and ultimately gave in to them because we were tired of their games. They didn’t make the sales experience enjoyable. Defects started to show close to closing. The assistant superintendent was giving push back about work being completed. The actual superintendent was extremely helpful and the warranty company has been responsive. In the end, I learned a lot of buyer bewares to look out for. You will experience it almost anywhere with a newly built community. I just wanted to express my dissatisfaction with this specific community. ... More

1. Poor Workmanship From day one, the home showed signs of subpar construction—sloppy finishes, sloppy installations, and corners that clearly prioritized speed over quality. 2. AC Broke Within Three Months Our central air conditioning failed just three months after move-in. With 109 deg temp inside home, we had to stay I hotel before it was fixed. 3. Front door lock broke in two months. It was replaced after a month. 4. Cockroaches Emerging from the Sewer Then came the worst: cockroaches crawling up through the drains. This often means there’s a plumbing issue—like cracks in the sewer line or P-traps that have dried out, offering pests a highway into your home These pests aren’t just gross—they carry allergens. The builder has not yet addressed this issue. We are dealing with all these during hot summer months. What a shame. ... More

Moving from CA to AZ was not an easy decision, very Nice Sales person Janna made little bit easier, got a beautiful house in Nice location. everything was smooth, little bit of missing quality issues like water leak, but they fixed it very fast in few mins after calling.. warranty person Melissa also very nice and quick response. Overall we are very happy with house Richmond American built. may be just one request, allow one or two customer request also along with their pre selected designer items, please also consider design phase functional aspect example not having single drawer under bath sink. Thanks Richmond homes for building beautiful house. ... More

Awesome experience, Great help from everyone on the team with walking me through the process to make it so much easier and less stressful

My new home buying experience began with excitement. Things began to go wrong and the responses were addressed slowly or not at all: frame to garage door, electrical issues, closet bar holding clothes loosening and the insulation between the foundation of the house and the walls not completely sealed when the doggie door was installed. I’m currently awaiting for the compressor on the air conditioner to be replaced, the unit is completely out of service, which was really loud to begin with, but it was working.

I am very disappointed with the quality of the appliances. This home was very expensive, but the appliances are very low-grade. Poor quality. I’ve had nothing but trouble with each of them. This being a model home I expected top grade appliances, but I receive low quality.

Excellent builder to work with. Staff is courteous and helpful. Everyone will go above and beyond to solve a problem or to satisfy the customer. We would definitely recommend Richmond American Homes!

Elisa help to compliment, are dreams, she help step by step, until , the last and first day of closed ,,we give more these 5 starts thank you Again

We are absolutely delighted with our home purchase. We moved out of state to purchase our new home and the sale rep was very kind and always answered my calls and questions. She wasn’t pushy to make a sale and was spot on to what our monthly payment would be. I didn’t have any surprises during closing. We are very thankful for the help from the lenders who were patient. They were able to close quickly making our move as smooth as possible. We are grateful to the team. Thank you, Richmond America!

I am very happy to be a homeowner finally. Richmond Homes is a great builder.

great service and professionalism

Excellent experience with quality, trustworthiness and sale agents

This is our seconds time we have bought with Richmond American homes. So far we love our home and any small issues that we found have Been delt with fast. I highly recommend these homes to anyone.

Laveen team was great! Not pushy, available and accommodating. Janna walked us through the process with patience and sincerity. Richmond Team worked with our Keller Williams Team through some delays and challenges to get us Homez

Great home great buy couldn’t be happier

Great experience so far.

Workmanship is very poor. Quality of products used throughout are less than desirable. Still waiting on repairs from initial walk through and 10 day inspection. Lack of communication post close. They were great to deal with in the beginning to buy the house. Once closed, it’s been complete opposite

Th home supervisor was great

Quick smooth and easy process

Quality of work is lacking, during initial inspection many items were brought up. During the final inspection most of the initially mentioned issues had not been resolved. We already have a list for about 30 items that will need to be addressed during the 30 day inspection. Most minor, but a handful of issues are pretty big.The assistant superintendent that did the walkthroughs did not seem very knowledgeable and seemed rushed. He also tried gaslighting us about and issue, saying the shower door is intended to only swing one way, which is incorrect, the issue is the alignment and or the tile floor. Overall not the best experience. ... More

Our experience was very good. There were a couple of hiccups along the way, but that is expected for a new build. The only negative was being surprised by things that are not in our home that were in the model. That was a bit of a disappointment. Being a spec home there were no choices. Overall we are satisfied.

The home has high quality finishes and features. (Quartz counters, 2 a/c units, tankless water heater, paver driveway, double gates for yard, sherwin williams paint). My sales person was lazy. Handed me her master keys, no explanation or details. That is, when you could find her. Often I would go to the sales office and remnants of her were there - phone, purse, but her? No. I think she was fired, justifiably, before my close. Construction supervisor emailed saying I’d get weekly updates on the progress of the build. Got one in six weeks. If you asked him 3 questions, he answered one. So you had to follow up. He’s likely delegated some things, but not to a great worker… Construction supervisor has an assistant guy. Assistant guy gave incorrect information at walkthrough. Forgot to do our 30 day review. He’s newly hired and easily frazzled it seems. The house is great. The people are bla. Thank goodness I was local. I checked on my house myself. If this was an out of state purchase I’d have been furious. But I’m moved in now. The buying process is brief in the cycle of home ownership. So don’t let my review deter you. I just think Richmond needs better service. They build a great home! ... More
