Pulte Homes Reviews

4 1/2 months after closing I still do not have my irrigation system or yard installed. Horrible customer service full of threats, but they do not follow through on anything that they commit to. I used Pulte Title and they did not pay the insurance at closing, although they say the check must have been lost in the mail. I will never buy another Pulte home. STAY AWAY!!!

Hello, I was one of the first people to close on a smart home at Pulte and Georgia Power’s Altus at the Quarter development. Unfortunately, the high hopes I had for my new home were dealt a severe blow due to my horrible experience with closing on my new home. As an initial matter, I was pressured to close on the sale of my former home early so that I could close on my Pulte home on time. Therefore, I worked with my buyer to move up the closing date to May, as I was informed that my new home would be ready to close at the end of May. However, my Pulte closing date was pushed back by two weeks, into mid-June because of issues with obtaining a certificate of occupancy for my new home and last minute changes in the building plans. As a result, myself, my seven year old son and my mother were essentially homeless for this two week period, being forced to live out of a hotel room while Pulte sorted out these issues. Things ultimately got worse when a received a set closing date, but Pulte again had to push it back because it was not granted a certificate of occupancy in time. When a final closing date/time was rescheduled, it was done at the last minute - literally hours after the certificate of occupancy was finally issued. As a result of this last minute delay, my lender was unable to quickly turnaround, update the financing documents and fund the loan for that same afternoon (June 7, 2019). In truly disappointing and upsetting fashion, Pulte’s closing attorney refused to provide myself and my lender the additional hour that would be necessary to close on the 7th (they asked me and my broker to leave at 4 p.m. despite the fact that my lender let them know the funds were in the process of being transferred). As a result of this action, the closing was rescheduled for Monday June 10th and I was charged a daily per diem by Pulte for Friday and every day of that weekend, forcing me to pay over $1600 before they would provide my with keys to the home (this on top of the expenses I paid for temporary housing because of Pulte’s delays in closing the transaction). I reached out to Pulte’s sales team and management and received absolutely NO accommodation on this issue, in spite of the fact that myself and my family had been extremely accommodating to them in light of the closing delays and the certificate of occupancy issues. To say this was disappointing would be the ultimate understatement. I was essentially coerced into a situation where I could either pay this per diem or be left without the keys to my home, all due to delays which were no fault of my own. This completely poisoned my closing experience, and what was supposed to be a joyful time left me feeling taken advantage of. I did not complain about my need for a hotel and the other expenses I incurred as a result of Pulte’s delays. I have since learned that one of my neighbors who also had the same experience was reimbursed for her temporary housing expenses because of the same delays she faced (she resides next door in Lot 47). All together this was the worst closing experience I have ever had. I expected this to be my dream home, but it started out as a complete nightmare, and this issue has been ignored and completely unaddressed, with Pulte placing the blame on my Lender instead of acknowledging their role in this quagmire. In the end, I am the one who was punished for these issues. ... More

The mortgage and title process experience were great. I was able to get answers to questions in a timely matter. That is not true with customer service with their responsiveness to issues. Every call went to voicemail. I did not get call backs or in a timely manner. You will have some things like not having the air conditioning turned on, or the heat which is frustrating. It took 3 weeks after I moved in to get a trash can. This was the responsibility of the hoa and their hired management company. What were the homeowner of the condo to do in the interim? The move-in experience needs to be better handled. I received no welcome from the HOA and no way to get help when I truly needed it. ... More

Poor quality for a 400 k home , sorry but we are so disappointed with This home

Nice employees but poor company & quality. Still scraping paint from tiles, lots of flaws in paint job, drawers don’t close properly, electrical issues (lights in kitchen won’t work after 3.5 weeks of use), washer not functioning properly (part of deal)...the list goes on. I made a mistake purchasing a new home from PULTE. Love the neighborhood but with I had gone with a different builder.

The field manager ignores our repair request, we are very upset about his attitude to customers.

Pulte is a one way street to no and is completely out of there depth building in Las Campanas.

Had several issues with my home and work is underway to fix all of these which should have been fixed before closing.

Within the first week after moving in, the AC system did not work, leaving us without cooling. It took significant effort to get attention to the issue. There were also structural changes made without proper approval, which is very concerning for a new construction home. Communication with Pulte has been extremely poor. We sent emails requesting help and clarification but received little to no response. The build quality is also below expectations for a new home: • The exterior color communication was incorrect, which spoiled the overall look of the house. • Gutters were left filled with construction debris. • Walls are uneven and the texture/paint quality is very poor, clearly visible to the naked eye. • The garage door does not close properly, and we were told it happens because of the sun and that we should manually close it in the afternoon, which is not an acceptable explanation. • Hot water issues occurred, and the initial response was simply that electric heaters are not good. Still in process of figuring out more stuff. ... More

Its been Difficult for Me from the Beginning to the End and Still having Issues.Ive NEVER DELT WITH SUCH WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON WITH THIS ENTIRE GROUP

At the time of booking the house everything looks good, they promise everything, but it is a real pain after paying the initial deposit, paperwork to get the loan from pulte mortgage is a real pain, they have no clue what they are asking and how to evaluate, they keep asking documents, they come back after a month again asking same and more documents, at the end they reject loan saying the underwriter is not accepting, in my case they said everything approved after i agreed for 60 % down, i liquidated my invenstments and before the closing date they come and tell me it is rejected from underwriter, what kind of logic is that, when i protest and ask them to compensate for the taxes i have to pay on my liquidated investements, they come back and tell me they will wokr again with underwriter and within a day it gets approved. So that will tell the kind of customer service and the level of knowledge and the processing that happens at pulte, very bad experience. I was happy to walk out if they had given my deposit back, even though they had promised at the time of booking that it will be refunded in extranious circumstances but they said i will loose the deposit even though I was not backing out of the agreement. It was literally a nightmore of 6 months to go thru this, i would never recommend pulte until they openly promise that things have changed and they provide everything in writing. ... More

Worst experience ever! Rudest people I have ever dealt with. Dishonest at every turn. Promotions are a game on numbers and a pure attempt to deceive. Dan is rude and unprofessional. Marci deceived us about short term rentals and never did anything to rectify the situation. Leo is the worst supervisor and used profanities while speaking to me and took no accountability for his incompetence. I will never work with Pulte again. When I reached to complain it was always someone will contact you and no one ever did. Stay away from Pulte Homes.

The only place that felt they were helpful was in Title!

Very poor experience from soup to nuts

I was lied to throughout the whole process by both Pulte and my Agent. I was told i could build a pool in the backyard and then found out once construction started there was a huge 15 ft drainage easement in my backyard that i cant build anything on. No one tried to help, Pulte essentially said too bad so sad. They tried to offer a different lot but none of them would work for our model home we wanted. Also after we closed we had plumbing issues and they ignored us. They sent out the plumber with only a plunger and he plunged our toilets for 15 mins. Nothing happened and he left saying he fixed the issue. The same toilet buid up happened again, i begged them to send the plumber once more this time with a camera. They sent the plumber with only a snake, couldnt find anything they said. And then finally it happened a third time, but this time the toilet downstairs exploded everywhere and soaked my floors, baseboards and carpet in sewer water. We are currently without flooring in our home due to the stupidity of Pulte. We would never ever buy from Pulte again and are thinking about legal action. ... More

Govany is the worst super you could get. unresponsive, no accountability and constantly blaming others for his short comings. We have to replace the our entire floor, garage floor, repair cabinets, countertops, windows, carpet, and shower glass still 2 moths after closing. all items we brought up well in advance of closing and initial walkthrough. Dont walk . . . RUN! away from pulte. Others in our community are having the same issues.

Brand new home looks good outside, after move in we identified lot of issues in first month itself, very bad materials in all places, mainly the tiles are broken the Pulte representative came but he told it will not cover the broken was by your mistake. So many issues but pulte team is not responding properly.

Very expensive starting from lot until utilities. Quality and workmanship is not up to the mark for the price paid for the home. Very limited walk through and that not adequate time provided. Floors on level is not even. Paid for many customization but most of them are below satisfactory level.

When I mentioned the issues to the field manager Cameron before closing, nothing was fixed, and it was clear that there was no effort to help

My experience is very bad I regret choosing Pulte

I’ve dealt with many builders over the years of real estate investing. I have never had a builder sign on and submit legal documents signed and dated prior to the work actually being completed. On top of it, he was a straight jerk. You should fire Chad immediately before he costs you millions of dollars in legal fees.

Would not buy another Pulte Home.

If you are looking for House to live for long term do not buy home. Very starter home quality and never expect any after closing support. Appliances have few issues and warranty is just myth.very unethical sales and support methods. All over not recommended to pursue

Sales experience was poor, communication awful from the sales guy. Almost 2 months after closing we still have issues remaining that were present before or at closing. Having to fight to try and get things fixed. Quality of workmanship and materials used is terrible. Customer care not the best. Builders used our electric after we'd moved in, and Pulte are refusing to pay us for that. Would NOT recommend buying from Pulte at all, and certainly not at Hartford Terrace.

Multiple Delays, multiple craftsmanship issues, shady practices, rude people top down, design and mortgage divisions were incompetent liars that never answer phone or email.
