DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

NEVER BELIEVE WHAT A DIVOSTA/PULTE EMPLOYEE TELLS YOU!!!!!!!

Beginning to settlement was fairly smooth. Follow-up to issues was slow

This is our 2nd Divosta/Pulte home and this is this was an exceptional experience. Minor issues after move in were addressed immediately by our super Shaun Coleman. Quality build, (we have built 6 homes from scratch)

From the very start through move-in, the experience went well. Very organized, including showroom, website, information along the way and at closing.

Our CM was very responsive to our questions & concerns & helped us close 10 days earlier than our original closing date.

Our salesperson Jessica was amazing! Always responsive and respectful even when replying to the smallest of issues. Our construction manager Chas was also very responsive to all issues as they arose.

The buying process went smoothly, our saleslady Linda was great at keeping us posted along the way as was our CM Austin.

This is my third new home and probably my last (only because of age) and the most expensive. For the price it’s quality is not worth it. I guess we didn’t realize it until we moved in and saw the inexpensive materials and incomplete construction of the end result. At walk through, there were numerous things that were still not done and STILL are not done. Lucky for me I have a handy guy that did complete all the things that needed to be done. It really is a shame that for a home of these prices, you don’t receive a better quality product. And no, I wouldn’t rather not anyone see this review.

DiVosta builds hundreds of homes at a time rather than one at a time. As a result no home gets the individualized attention to detail that would make it a great home. Examples include mediocre sheet rock workmanship, scant landscaping and greater thought could have gone into the placement of recessed lighting and HVAC vents. Post-closing corrections could have been significantly reduced by greater care during the construction process. So my conclusion is “good but not great.”

House was neat and clean All extras and finishes were completed and well done Some cosmetic touch ups must be completed( ( 30 day list)

Sales experience was very good. Design Center experience was excellent. Most of the construction process went very well until the end, expertly managing the material and labor shortages of the time. In the end, we were forced to close before the house was move-in ready. Over a month later, it is still not move-in ready. You can see where they rushed to finish it, and the work is sloppy. There are many issues with the finish in certain areas that still need to be corrected, and the responsiveness on completing the work is lacking. It really takes the joy out of getting a new home.

From the salesperson to the people involved in helping customize the selections, then the construction manager and the support, our experience has been all positive. The closing could have been a bit more efficient but all in all a great experience.

We looked at almost fifty homes before deciding to buy in Talon Preserve. The sales process was very low pressure and professional. Chris was as super helpful and kept us informed every step of the way. We bought the home sight unseen and it was better than we thought it would be when we arrived last week. Five stars DiVosta!

We purchased a home already planned and were unable to make changes. It was a crazy time in the market. Despite many requests from our salesperson we were never given the design center specifics. We were not kept up to date on the building process. Our construction manager changed mid-point and we were not made aware of that either. We are hopeful once we start our 30 day period issues will be addressed in a timely fashion. I would say most of our issues are minor, but time will tell. Our side yard is a swamp and the issue has not been resolved, the landscaping company has signed off that this is not an irrigation issue. We have a dead tree in the yard which has been reported and also no resolution. Timely communication from sales and construction would have helped. I assume they are overwhelmed. ... More

My best advice to home buyers is to have patience and a handyman.

So far so good and very responsive

Be patient wait and see

The purchase of our house was very well done. The Pulte Title and Closing departments were very responsive, helpful, professional and easy to work with. Also, our construction manager, Chris, was great to work with, personally committed to completing a high quality home, responsive and ensured that we were happy with the house at the closing.

Our first sale lady Faith was excellent!! Our Construction Manager Justen S was excellent. The only two they I can say we trusted. The 2nd salesperson assigned to us (Linda S) was always condescending, like i was a burden for her to deal with, and she has me banned from sales center where the HOA office is located! how is that? how would you feel after spending 3/4 of a million dollars?

First. Did not expect perfection but home not built close to perfect. Luckily, we had a fantastic construction manager, Shaun C. Many of the various non Divosta construction crews were not great but acceptable, workers with very little concern for quality and Little attention to detail. Others crews were very good House does requires quite a bit of tlc after purchase. House delivered clean and mostly complete All in all A good experience

Staff changeovers. Slow completion of the build. Repeated problems needing to be addressed. Information initially provided was incorrect and affected the building process . Disjointed closing process. There were a few people that were helpful but the ratio of helpers to knuckle draggers is about 1:5. The corporate sales office was particularly backward and caused more issues than it solved problems. Loaded with attitude. This was my first new build and based on this experience I would never do it again. At least with Pulte/Divosta

The home was built with trusses that were on the ground for over 2 months and were moldy when installed. The carpentry work is sub-standard (doors that didn't close or were cut too short, loose hinges, etc.) The pool skimmer flap was just floating in the pool and there were globs of Gunite on the pool tile and coping. The wall paint was so thin that we had to repaint the walls before we moved in, the wall texture is hard to even describe as it is inconsistent throughout the home. The project manager (Justin S.) was responsive but had no authority to change much. The customer care person (Gene K) has been very helpful in writing tickets to correct the various issues, but the subcontractors assigned with correcting the issues are very slow to respond. ...

Jessica did a wonderful job keeping me informed, answering questions, and sending progress updates and photos. Joe and Patrick did everything in their power to get my house completed and closed after an unexpected delay.

Made building from long distance much easier than anticipated. Salesperson and construction Supervisor were wonderful and kept a very watchful eye on each step of the process.

This experience has taught us to buy a resale moving forward.
