Pulte Homes Reviews

It’s been almost a month or more after I took the keys to my new house and I complained about the construction GARBAGE left behined my house & so far nothing been done . I should have NOT signed the Last Walk to my house knowing that they will not follow through on their word . The GARBGE Still there till now ..

It's been almost 3 months where is my lawn

My home before closing, we went through inspection. Still, there were minor things to be fixed. We asked them to finish and postpone thr closing date, but they didn't allow it. Okay fine, but still some of them remain unfixed.

Everyone is excited and has answers before the sale, after closing no one keeps their promises.

There are too many separate points of contact in the process between Pulte sales and Pulte lending. Those two offices do not share communication well. Sales could have explained things much better along the way. Lending will not give you the best rate, they will give you a “competitive rate”. There is no supervisory oversight that the buyer can see or access. Jason the project manager was the shining star for the company. Great communication, explained things well, and responsive. Unfortunately, after 1 month in the home, we have had to open 4 work tickets for incomplete items or other issues after we moved in. Lovely home, but needs a more thorough inspection prior to closing. ... More

We are really neither satisfied nor dissatisfied including loan process what ever it has.

Tyler and Dylan have been so great as the construction managers and the best part of the process. 5 Stars across the board. However, our experience with Pulte mortgage was not great. There was a $7000 additional buyers' credit that was promised to us for using Pulte mortgage. We were two weeks away from closing only to find out that the $7000 credit was "miscommunicated" and in fact would not be offered. While all of the miscommunication come from Pulte, there was absolutely no accountability or ownership taken by anyone. The only one that took ownership for Pulte's mistake was us. Unfortunately, this all come to our attention at the 11th hour, and we were too close to the closing date to have time to engage another lender for better options. We were trapped and the whole thing, whether it was or not, seemed very intentional and extremely underhanded. We would never consider using Pulte mortgage every again and we would advise others to proceed with extreme caution. ... More

The quality of the product is fair to marginal. The house was put together quickly and quality seems to be second. Speed is the priority for Pulte. We had many issues such as leaky clink, dryer that did not work, refrigerator handles that were not put on right, garbage disposal not working and many more such as crooked walls. Quality should be the main focus not how quickly the house can be put up.

The amount of emails and different people reaching out was really confusing. Since purchasing it seems you gave our email to a mailing list. The emails are flooding in. Hard to figure out which ones need attention and which ones don’t. Someone reached out about our warranty yesterday. Turns out they were trying to sell something. Were FLOODED with paperwork.

The house itself is wonderful but the lack of communication between the trades and the construction managers needs work. Don’t even get me started on the delay of utilities that pushed our date of closing by about a solid month and a half almost two months. Aside from all that the sales agents and construction managers are real friendly and professional and the finished product is good.

Pulte mortgage was the absolute worst mortgage company I’ve ever dealt with, and I have dealt with a few. They should not force us to use Pulte mortgage. The whole closing process was not very pleasant. Our refrigerator was not hooked up to water & the house was filthy when we moved in.

This process of this new house build took way too long! Twice the time! No communication from the sells representative after we signed on the dotted line, wasn’t honest or straightforward with timelines or delays we heard nothing.

We have built 4 new homes and this is the worst experience we have had. All the way from too many people involved in the mortgage process, to blown deadlines, and the quality is just not there. In the worst heat of the LV summer, the top floor would freeze ice but the HVAC unit that serves the first and second floor is undersized. I wake up every morning to 78 degrees in the master bedroom. Multiple other “unhappy” issues. At this point I would NOT recommend.

Most new homebuilders are the same nowadays. The same subs are building 200K and 500K houses. The difference is construction managers and how well they are overseeing the subs. My experience with Pulte wasn't great from the get go. Two days into moving in I experienced major plumbing issues. Pulte did honor the warranty and is taking care of everything but I am now wary of potential issues when warranty expires. Probably wouldn't buy Pulte again.

Our experience with sales was horrible after the contract was signed. Sales person is unorganized & needs retraining. Construction side was good. However the quality of paint is horrible. You cannot clean walls without the paint coming off. Pulte mortgage has too much turnover & we were shuffled around multiple times with loan professionals. When timing is key for locking in a rate, the communication is not fast enough. Ended up costing us a higher rate. If a deposit was not on the line, we would have walked away early on.

My home took approximately a year and 1/2 to build. Workmanship was sloppy. The process from start to finish was horrible. Pulte mortgage was also horrible. Their prices are overpriced. Had to switch lenders twice during the process due to the delay. I spent more than budgeted in storage fees, points and appraisal fees. Not a happy camper. The only bright spot of the process was the final construction manager that was assigned to me one month before closing who by the grace of god got me moved with punch list items.

Our closing date was 4 months later, causing huge financial burdens especially during these tough economic times. No real sense of urgency from our multiple project managers due to us having two different PM's during this process. I wasn't confident in the finance team and their knowledge of the type of loan we have. Once we moved in, we noticed some issues; did the maintenance work orders and still waiting for one that's been open a bit at the week period. Low and behold, our warranty manager is now no longer with the company, and we have to work with someone else. Been waiting for the deed as well, but I assume we have to go request one with the county. I qualify for a property tax exemption, but since we didn't close during Q4 of last year as told; we will have to pay property taxes until the next submission period next year. I feel like that was planned by the finance department but hope that's not true. I have more stuff, but I'll close with that. ... More

Finished product has so much that requires follow up and contractor visits. The condition of house on move in from quality of paint and paint job to overall lack of "finish" in the interior work has been really disappointing. It is a part time job to work with Pulte and get the same contractors back in here to fix what they did not do right to begin with.

This is my 2nd new home build and it went anything but smoothly. Not a fan of all the nickel and dining for add-ons and moving target for closing dates..

Finding many issues with the home quality on a daily basis and unable to trust the built quality.

A great house, but a very poor experience the first 4 months. Our salesperson, Robin, did an outstanding job of communicating and seeking for answers. Additionally, Charlie turned our project around and our neighborhood for that matter. He deserves a raise. That being said, a customer shouldn't have to manage a build, which is what this experience turned into. We are currently dealing with a warranty issue due to poor craftsmanship by the tile layers, but all other trades did a quality job. This house is what we expected and what we were sold.

We signed our contract in March of 2022. The process started off wonderful. The sales office was communicative, the design center was a great experience, and our walk with our construction superintendent was educational and informative. We were notified that we were set to close in September, received our signing date and signed our docs. We were notified a week before close that someone had ordered the wrong color cabinets and that here would be a delay. I understood, these things happen. We waited an additional month to hear back. A few weeks later we were notified that the house was not ready due to a delay with the kitchen cabinets. They hadn’t been installed!! How were we allowed to sign for a house that was even complete? The next day we were notified that the house would not close and our docs were voided and that we would Need to sign again. A few weeks went by and we were notified that the house was complete and we were set to close at the end of October. We got our signing date and signed the docs. I day before we were set to close and get our keys I received a call from our sales person telling us not to show up with our moving truck as there could be a delay and that it may only be a minor delay. Next day we were told that the city is not allowing us to move in due to a major breach in the fire code. We had already loaded our moving truck and was ready to move in! We had to unload the truck again. Yet again we signed for a home that we were not allowed to close on! Our slaesoersin tried his hardest to give us as much detail as he was given but he was kept in the dark so I was forced to visit city hall to get the details for myself. I spoke to the mayor who eventually connected me with the building inspector who was very helpful. The building inspector called me every day for the few weeks this went on and gave me every detail or progress update that he could, he even called when there was no progress. He gave me information that your firm refused to do. That’s all I asked was for full transparency and I couldn’t get that from a company that I was lending over 700k with! 3 weeks passed and we were finally given the green light to sign for a third time. This time we moved in! Overall I’m happy with my home. It’s beautiful, the workmanship is good, and the sales person I worked directly with was stuck in the middle of a bad situation that i unfortunately took out in him. I know it was not his fault and he was relaying messages from other incompetent folks in the Pulte ranks. I would not buy from Pulte again as I feel that you are not a trustworthy firm, and handled a simple close on a house poorly with very little transparency. Over a month of living in the house and I have found some minor issues which I reported to customer service and they are repaired immediately. I am very thankful for that. ... More

This was our first new build. We were thrilled with what Pulte offered and promised. Throughout the building process we experienced a lot of headaches which were caused by lack of communication and under delivered expectations. Maybe it was the lack of supply and/or skill labor, but the communication definitely could have been better to eliminate misunderstandings. As home buyers we trust the professionals’ input and communication to help us understand what’s next. Through this experience we felt confused and desperate to figure it out. It’s unfortunate that we had this experience because Pulte was highly recommended to us. We definitely had too many negatives. Overall, we can not recommend anyone to go through the same process as we did. ... More

Build process is ok. Putle mortgage never replies . Loan officer never replies and did not lock In rate on time. Home quality is very poor. Carpets have paint and now needs to be replaced at home owner cost. All handles and equipment have paint. No repair done after creating ticket

The site build crew and manager were great. The sales team not so as they misled us on a number of issues. Primarily promising us a unit with a view. They didn’t tell us they plan to build a couple more units that will cut into our view we paid extra for the unit. Also building a city rec center to further cut into our view.
