Centex Homes Reviews

Throughout the experience my contractor manager kept me informed with the process.

It was not times consuming and that’s what I needed.

Our house is great. Centex probably tries to give us a great product but I could give a couple of advices: - Read everything. Yes it will take a lot of time, but you need to do it. - Hire an external inspector. The external inspection's report should have a lot of pictures (my inspection was great). - You must do an inspection by yourself. The inspector is a human been and can make mistakes. In my case, he didn't notice something that I did. - Do not sign until the house has no issues. We found some issues with the house (no big problems, most of them just details),so the closing date was reschedule. During the final walkthrough I checked all the details to be solved in a rush, but I wasn't 100% agree with one solution. When we moved to our new house, that "solution" didn't work as we expected and now I am waiting for the supplier to solve the situation (little A/C adjustment). - When you receive your keys, the fist think to do (after the joy), verify the timer (splinkler system) if you have it already installed. I didn't do it. I week after we moved, I noticed that our grass was really bad (overwatering). Probably it is my bad because I should be aware of that since the beginning. Our closing date was almost 1 month after the grass was planted, we moved 1 week after the closing date, I checked the timer 1 week after we moved. The times for watering were excessive (20 minutes in some areas, everyday) and that was causing the grass begins to decompose. I am trying to solve that problem. ... More

Everything has been pretty simple and the repair/fix process has been easy too!

We had a great home buying experience with Centex. Quality building and we feel safe in the event of a storm here in SWFL. However, our best experience has been the after care given by Keith. He’s super attentive, action-oriented and responsive. We know we can trust and count on him to really care about our needs and concerns.

Some parts of experience were OK. Others leave much to desired.

The homebuying experience was pretty easy overall. Steve in the sales office was great, all of the people I came in contact with in the finance and mortgage department were amazing, and Travis, who was the person that took me through my home orientation has been absolutely amazing and responsive. There are a few things in the home that I would like to change. Because I did not have the option to select the items, I did end up with a refrigerator that I’m not crazy about, but I plan on changing that as well as changing the electric stove to a gas stove. I’m really settling in nicely in my home and continue to get support from Travis when things come up. I would definitely buy from Centex again. The team has been amazing. ... More

I just purchased a home at Mavera community. Haven't had the experience of living in it yet. Mainly choice it for the beautiful nice atmosphere, and amenities it has to offer. My experience purchasing this house wouldn't have been great if it wasn't for the dedication and hard work of the warranty and construction team. Christopher and especial kudos to Coleman! Very knowledgeable, provided valuable information. Communicate effectively. Was very supportive, patient, caring and kind. Always willing to help resolve any issues or concerns I had with the house. I'm pleased and excited to be part of this neighborhood, and truly hope that I would continue to feel this way as I move in. ... More

Love the house and the location. Construction manager was a super nice guy and made the terrible hand off from the sales person smooth.

Thank You Centex. Appreciate you all.

Centex was able to make it happen for us. Robert, our sales rep, and Shawn, our construction manager, were great and helpful through the process. Pulte mortgage done a great job dealing with the closing process seamless. We love the home, and we referred one of our friends to the community. Thank you for making it happen for us!

Person how helps it's great

Our overall home buying experience with Centex was good! Special thanks to Clint and Rhonda for being helpful, informative and patient with us during the home buying process. Although, I was not fully satisfied with some concerns that were left unaddressed by my inspector.

They were extremely quick to fix any outstanding issues.

This was a brand-new build. Initially, I expereinced what I thought was a smooth and exceptional purchasing expereince; however, after having purchased my hone, I quickly realized the shoddy workmanship and inferior builder materials used. Once I reported my concerns, the fixed issues were left incomplete/half done, less than anyone would have expected. Warped flooring, exterior doors not fitting leaving gaps, hoses to washing machine drainage not installed correctly leaving water gushing from my upstairs floor to my downstairs living room. I strongly REGRET ever purchasing from this builder. I would highly recommend a full inspection to any home-buyer thinking of purchasing from this builder. Buyer- Beware!!! ... More

Everything went well and in timely manner

I missed out on other better service options. The supervision of the quality of the construction is deficient and the response to the guarantee is null.

I’m very happy with the quality of the house and all the professional people involved building this house

Overall experience is ok. If you have selected upgraded package, make sure that you verify these in a timely fashion. Luckily I checked so there is no delay. Home is ready on time as mentioned. Nice features included for the package that I selected.

Overall nice home, but in the end the home was rushed so the builder could meet the closing date, I feel that a lot of details was missed and skipped because of the rushing to finish toward the end. We would have been happy to move back the closing date in order to have it done correctly. There are several things were are doing ourselves because the response to issues has been non existent.

It began with miscommunication from the initial visit to the office. The staff were amazingly receptive and accommodating. We heard exactly what we were looking for with our expectations and the VA loan we were applying for. The rate was below 5% and the incentive monies were a great perk. We’re were told there would be a smart home package, appliances included, and a promised rate lock with a fair home price. Turns out we were confronted with a rate increase, no smart home package, no flexibility on price due to the failed promised rate lock, no appliances that were promised, and a rediculous amount of in house (Pulte monopoly) closing costs. We backed out of the deal. Centex home was a solid build for the price. We eventually were convinced to come back to the table with a large reduction in home price with flex monies promised. Dealing with Centex/Pulte group is not an experience I would recommend for any first time home buyer. Nothing was ever put into writing. Only false promises to make the deal. We felt like a number and not heard by Pulte/Centex. ... More

I have repeatedly had to request repairs on a sprinkler system that never worked right, broken heads, pipe busted in the ground leaking water, HUGE water bill, spoke with, emailed, wrote work orders 3X...and still NOT FIXED. I HAD TO PAY A $149 water bill this morning FOR JULY 15TH-AUGUST 15TH. The other orders, or complaints took forever to address as well. When we met before closing, we were assured that all items would be handled promptly. Someone keeps dropping the ball. It is hard to trust anyone at their word now.

My experience buying a home with Center Homes was outstanding from start to finish. From the very beginning, their team made the process seamless and stress-free. They were incredibly professional and communicative, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. Their knowledge of the market and the quality of their homes stood out, making me feel confident in my decision.

After seeing the model home, it was an easy process to purchase the home. Everyone involved was professional and helpful.

Overall experience was not the best… communication was not great. I had a few issues come up and lack of communication. I was told if we have questions, someone would be an assistance. Had some landscaping issues, work order was placed and they showed up after 5 pm. Someone was suppose to be there to assist and communicate back with me because I was not home at the time of the appointment and no one was there to communicate to even let me know the work was done.
