Good overall construction and service

Overall, a good buying experience with Shea Homes. I was told of a framed walk-thru, but never happened. Timelines were non-existed or vague. Construction workers and other workers were helpful and very knowledgeable. Location and pricing were excellent. Buying process were a bit chaotic with VIP's being involved in the buying process.

Shea has been great overall. Communication, value, and quality. The only problem that we’ve had was length of construction, but I would trade length for quality any day.

Overall the process was smooth and easy. Communication was good and expectations were realistic. I believe that for the price we paid, we have a wonderful home. There is no buyers remorse coming from our family!

The process was a bit confusing and some areas were rushed but overall we are happy to be in our new home. The warranty period has been good, having fixed the issues pretty quickly. Having the neighborhood gatherings sponsored by Shea was a nice touch to bring us all together and foster a community, not just people who live next to each other.

I would never a home again from this builder. The quality of home is substandard and they lied and overcharged. This builder is totally untrustwrothy. The sales agent, Cathy was extremely rude and impolite throughout the process. They have used cheap labor and materials throughout. Community feels like cheap throughout. I wish I could give 0 stars.

Overall, very happy with the home buying experience with Shea. Josephine was amazing, extremely helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. The rest of the team, from the construction to the design team were very knowledgeable and helpful. Gavin has also been very responsive and timely with all of the warranty follow ups.

Bad home buying experience

I had a really bad experience with Shea. I was given the wrong information since the beginning, and just went downhill from there. I simply could not trust them. On top of a bad experience, they also had some horrible design choices for this community. It was not on their website, and again try to blame it on the buyer. They tried to sweep any wrongdoing under the rug. I could tell, but they would tell me something different, and this happened at almost every level I dealt with. I did have an amazing experience with the Jr. Rep., who I thought was the only one I could believe.

Everything went well, the people were nice. A little bit delayed on delivery date however it’s because of the pandemic causing delay in materials and construction.

I believe June 2021 was whEn we succeeded in obtaining the rights to Lot 8. Anticipating completion and move-in by year’s end, we sold our old home September 29, asking the Buyer to rent-back to us for up to 3 months. Then we got hit with “infrastructure snags” and move-in was delayed til May 2022. My monthly rent on the old home was $4,000/mo X 8 mos. That’s going to sting for some time to come.

Shea Homes - It was nice to be regularly updated on the build of the home
- Jolie N.

It was nice to be regularly updated on the build of the home via email and to be offered to view the home in multiple stages. However, at the same time if there are any questions or issues that arise there would be times that getting feedback would take some time. You can tell there is not enough ancillary support compared to the amount of homebuyers, so that individualized customer care can be properly given.

Poor craftsmanship
- Tara R.

Customer service has not paid attention to detailed request. Disorganized. Perhaps volume of repairs & poor craftsman gas made job more difficult to keep up with it’s understandable nothing would be perfect but I’ve had to repeat my request multiple times to clarify previous concerns. Most alarming leaky sink.

The sales department was the best Custumer service of all the Shea home experience
- Shirin S.

They used a lot of extra material for the model home that I bought which I really did not like there was not any option to change any of it. Which I thought was not fair if I am paying $80000 Above the actual price due to upgrades I should have been able to make some changes They way I like it not to pay that much extra because someone else decided for me. The garage opening is super small. I wish they could make some changes to that every in and out of the garage is a challenge. And finally the loan department is not customer friendly at all. Thank you for asking about my opinion I sure hope ...
