Not bad for a first time buyer

First, I would like to thank my loan officer for being proactive and responsive to my questions. Thank you Kim for all you did, was pleasure working with you. I just hoped that we were given the right amount from the get go by our first sales agent. It was a great tactic pitching the house for a lower price, and when we are seen as really eager, we were informed that all houses needed to be curated and prices will increase. Not appreciated since we really wanted to move forward. And we switched to another sales agent, as the first one switched to a higher role. I really like Mina as ...

The complete unwillingness to actually work with a buyer to get what they want is utterly astounding. Even on issues that would be a simple change they wouldn’t budge. The subs they use are either discount workers or brand new and don’t know the job. Found too many issues to list. As a previous framer and trim carpenter myself I would’ve never signed off on the work I’ve seen. The super is a nice guy but doesn’t ever actually get any of the repairs done. Buyers remorse!

The team of Valentina and Nick handled everything in a very professional manner. They were prompt and efficient on any concerns we had. After looking at several other builders we chose Richmond for its design and workmanship. Great value for the money.

The sales stuff does not communicate timely and make preparing for walk through and closing very difficult and not a pleasant experience.

We had a positive experience on the sales and builder side. Lauren and Mike were professional and responsive. The biggest challenge was working with the loan officer. Lauren went above and beyond answering all of our questions and collaborating well with our realtor. Mike, the superintendent, was awesome. I can tell he takes pride in his work and he is personable. After closing he attended to the little things that needed attention. We feel like we got a great deal on this house and love the fact that the basement is finished.

WORST HOME BUYING EXPERIENCE!!!!

I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s sum it up to the superintendent Mike being incredibly insulting and aggressive to his boss Javier not responding to issues in a timely manner to the other superintendent Gab never returning any text or phone calls for now going on 3 weeks. There’s lots of Builders out there and I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing a home from any other builder!

The home buying process was overwhelming but they were always there to respond to any questions we had. Only thing that I would recommend is more security, Our home was broken into a couple days after closing and unfortunately our appliances was stolen. So it ruined our homebuying experience.

The Estrada Del Oro II site home builder contractors are terrible. the cart was always before the horse. The studs are crooked and uneven. the floor has lumps and squeaks everywhere do to water damage. The wall are all wavy and it looks like a roller coaster. over 1 inch out of flatness. The roof is full of cracked tiles and construction debris. the cheapest material are installed. lower grade than Home depot lowest quality. The baseboards are put down before the tile so all the edges of the tile have cracked grout showing. The toliets and fixtures install are all trash. The ...

It’s taken 30 days to get a response on my warranty items. Had me submit pictures for your app that they can’t even access. Nothing in the process was smooth or even I would say it was friendly.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a new home, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial search to the final closing, every step was handled with professionalism and care. Overall, buying a new home was a seamless and enjoyable experience. The professionalism, expertise, and genuine care shown by the builder’s team made all the difference. I am now happily settled in my new home and couldn't be more satisfied with the entire process.

Great Design, Quality of Workmanship and Communication needs a lot of improvement
- Sharath R.

- September 25, 2024
- Brentwood, CA
First and foremost, I have to appreciate the design of the home and community but the rest part like communication on the overall process especially from the loan department and the quality of workmanship and delivery of home needs a hell lot of improvement. During the walk through you can’t identify the minute details but when you start living, notice like uneven application everywhere, dirty finishes, chipped off paint and cabinets and door, careless work in workmanship and uneven floor. But the good part is after warranty service is great and prompt response and takes accountability. Thank ...

The buying experience was great working with Richmond. I do wish for the price you are paying that Richmond could at least finish the fences in-between homes instead of leaving that on the homeowners to work out with new neighbors who have not moved in yet.

Many people warned me that the home-buying process would be stressful, but my experience with Richmond's lender was horrible! Unfortunately, you have to go through them to get the best rates...brace yourself. Now that I'm in the house, I'm okay. I still really like the house, but I am finding negligent things here and there. For instance, there were bumps underneath the carpet. They ended up finding entire bundles of nails leftover by the carpet people! Thankfully, they are pretty responsive and quick about getting things fixed.
