Octavio has been outstanding! Attentive and responsive

The sales team was good. Pricing above market with initial homes seems like initial home buyers should be made whole with some upgrades. Or rebates . Lack of upgrades relative to model homes is unusual. We’ve bought two prior new homes and the builders were happy to offer us upgrades.. thesewe are profane of happy with the technology and remote app abilities of the home.

Lemon Apartment

I have had 3 water leaks in my apartment before I even moved in. I had work going on in my apartment for the first 30 days after I received the keys and was not compensated for anything. Very poor management. Would not recommend them again.

Bad experience with insurance

  • Tsai-nan M.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • November 05, 2025
  • Missouri City, TX

Overall, it was a good experience. The team was easy to work with, and the workmanship and quality were solid. However, I wouldn’t recommend using the insurance company they partner with. Their representatives were rude and seemed uninterested in helping customers. Emails were often ignored, and when they did respond, questions weren’t clearly answered. Interestingly, they only became responsive when I mentioned bundling car insurance.

Shea Homes responded:
Hi Tsai-nan, we’re sorry to hear your experience with the insurance company was disappointing and appreciate you providing your feedback. shea

Seamless but flawed purchase

  • Jill S.

  • Castle Rock, CO

It’s hard for me to accept that when you buy a home the brand new oven trips the breaker. Shea knew before the purchase and said nothing. Now I’m stuck waiting on a part that is three more weeks out to hopefully fix the issue. It’s already been 10’ weeks. I’ve now learned it’s a know issue with many homes in the area. Pretty disappointing for a brand new home:

Overall quality of home is very good. Warranty service on construction defects excellent. Value for money in today’s market is questionable, but that is an individual choice. Having owned 8 brand new homes in that last 49 years, Shes is good only disappointment is lack of attention to yards outdoors. Enough said.

Pretty Good!

House was built pretty well. Only one issue. It takes a minute and a half to get hot water at the kitchen sink because they did not install a circ pump. Seems crazy to waste 1.5 gallons of water in Las Vegas every time we need hot water. Its on us to fix it they did nothing. For $820,000 you would expect a little better.

Right house, right time, right place

We had been looking for a smaller home after retiring from work, but had trouble finding the right combination of home and neighborhood in the town where we lived. This Shea home came on the market shortly after we renewed our search, and we are very pleased with it. It had been already finished, so I cannot speak to the experience of working with Shea from the ground up. However, Shea has been responsive to minor warrantee claims, in which they proved to be responsive and effective. We love the floor plan and general quality of the build.

Rocky at first, but worth the wait

Despite a nearly 4 year long process to move up on the "list" with a less-than-transparent home buying experience, I was finally fortunate enough to be "picked" to purchase a home. I purchased in 9/2024 and closed in 7/2025, which is the exact amount of time that Shea projected. Once in, the home is beautiful and exceeds my expectations which is quite hard to do! It looks alot bigger inside with the walls up rather than framed. There were several issues that I found (despite 4 or 5 sign-offs by Shea and the City) like the ducts not working with the thermostat and an overhead light being ...
