Very nice house and finishes

We love our house and our experience in our purchase. My only complaints are we were told the back yard would come back twice through our walkthroughs, and it is horrible to this day . Also our ac is very loud even the neighbors have said something to us went through warranty they say nothing is wrong but clearly something is . I say this because all my neighbors are very quiet

Rushed

  • Mark H.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Spring Hill, TN

We love the look of our home minus some interior finish workmanship on the inside. I’m sure it’s not normal for Richmond but we were blessed with a poor quality trim person on our house (Wasn’t good with corner work). Seemed as if they hurried to much in the final phase and quality dropped in the last days of finishing. Issues w/ mail not being able to be delivered, Internet service still not available w/ the company servicing our new neighborhood and zip code discrepancies. Seems as if they rushed to get the homes sold and weren’t quite ready. The sales office and builders/foreman are great ...

Thank you for your feedback, Mark. I will send this over to our local team.

Not happy

  • Mary R.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • July 02, 2025
  • Littleton, CO

Likely the worst home buying experience I have had which includes 13 purchases, four of which were new builds. I thought I was moving into a move-in ready home -as that is what was advertised - and it was so very far from that. The issues that I have experienced have been blown off as things that I should expect in buying a house, but I really don’t expect so many significant defects and poor workmanship.

Horrible experience, all cheap materials that were badly put together. I am assuming inexperience contractors built my home in particular and superitendent too did not do a great job of supervising and making sure the cheap materials used correctly

If you have to buy a Richmond home make sure to bring an independent company to do inspection for you. the homes are built with all cheap materials and in a mass production manner. If cheap materials are nicely put together i believe it would be a better experience. There were nails poking on the carpet and Joy & Brandon did not see anything wrong with that. Extremely over prized homes based the quality of home/house delivered. Worst exo\perience ever for me personally.

I would like other home buyers to know that agreeing on the price is a choice but not getting a response to an issue from the builder is breach Thank you for ignoring the review

Poor quality and the project manager is worse!

  • Jamel B.

  • Ruther Glen, VA

I would like other home buyers to know never to buy a Richmond American Home. If you are thinking of buying in the Pendleton community, don't! The project manager has every excuse for the poor work. Also, don't trust that they will come back in 30 days. Several of our neighbors never got a 30 day follow up.

We bought the house on contingency bases on a few things which was a great option. The house is amazing and the responsiveness for the company was great when we had questions or concerns. We love Richmond so much we suggested the builder to another family member that is now buying a house of their own. We love our realtor Jessi as she has treated us like family.
