Centex New home

  • Ray B.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • May 30, 2019
  • Spring Hill, FL

Purchase price was reasonable and quality of work was excellent. Build was ahead of schedule. PM was very responsive and went out of his way to ensure my build experience was above expectations. Y only negative comment is that any upgrade you made was way over priced and over inflated my home value. What started out as a 285k house quickly turned into 400k which didn’t include any upgrades I made after my move in.

I really enjoyed seeing the home built every step of the way. From picking a lot, home style, stones, color scheme, etc. From sales, builders all the way to closing staff, they all contributed to make this an easy process.

Centex declined since Pulte buy out

  • Anonymous

  • May 29, 2019
  • Buda, TX

I had a Centex home that was pre-Pulte buy out and LOVED the building experience, the builder and the final home product. My experience with my newest home, post-Pulte buy out, was NOT as pleasurable nor do I have the confidence in this newest homes quality. Building process seemed rushed, was about “getting it done” and the workmanship is lacking as a result. I don’t feel the home I have has the quality in workmanship that it should for the price I paid. I wouldn’t do another Centex home based on my most recent experience. Instead I am taking the stance of “only 5 years... live in it 5 ...

Does Not Enforce Neighborhood Covenants

They act like the Covenants are a big deal but when they are broken they are not enforced. I wanted a neighborhood with restrictions, but what are Covenants if they are not enforced

Experiene buying a house at Retreat at Champions Landing

  • Ana V.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • May 28, 2019
  • Houston, TX

The first part of the process was smooth, visiting the place, getting information about the house, knowing the different options and prices. The loan processing was very difficult and we had to change the finance company. Many documents required until the last minute. Many of them did not meet their requirements. Hard time trying to convince them that we were trustworthy people. I suggest to ask all the questions as a buyer and look for the best option for yourself since you are the one putting the money and yoy know how far you can go. The buyer has rights also.

We love our new home

Construction manager, design consultant, and salesperson were on top of everything during the process. We love our new home and it was completed well within the timeframe that was promised. Our only complaint would be that the house was not completely clean at closing. Lots of drywall dust left around and the floors looked streaky.

2-car Garage doesn't fit ONE regular-sized truck!

  • Anonymous

  • May 16, 2019
  • SAN ANTONIO, TX

I would've given the Summit by pulte/centex 4 stars for value for price paid, BUT for one HUGE reason - their TWO-CAR garage doesn't fit ONE regular sized short-bed crewcab truck! One of the MAIN reasons I purchased a home was so I could safely park my truck when I went on long out of town journeys (which I do for at least 6 months in a year), so I was quite shocked to find out that my truck didn't fit (another 1 1/2 feet of depth of garage would've helped) inside the garage. When I reported it to the Pulte folks, they didn't bother to respond for several days and even when they did, they ...
