Richmond American Homes Reviews

Overall I had a moderately good experience. I do feel like I had to stay on top of the builder to make sure most of the outstanding items were followed up on before the closing date which I didn't expect with such a short closing period before the holidays. There were also a lot of nails and materials left in the backyard which I didn't anticipate. In general the sales office was helpful and my builder contacts were mostly responsive. I do feel they would of been more attentive if I was able to review their work more often but unfortunately I don't live in the state so that wasn't an option. ... More

they charge for too much that should be included.. adverstising was mis leading.

It was a long process. A lot of endless paperwork-The house is good-a few concerns-they fixed quickly. It was not an easy process. House is in a great location.

Overall our experience with Richmond is good

Deb is always on top of everything. I always got answer and help from her during the purchasing process. After moving into the new house, she still provide help to us.

After submitting warranty issues, have received very poor response to getting items fixed.

Make sure you have contacts available for addressing challenges and issues.

Fit and finish of completed homes should match the model homes but builder is too rushed to complete houses resulting in less than ideal quality. Sales team and building superintendent are knowledgable and very easy to work / communicate with.

Love the house sell person wasn’t honest

Good attention and service from sales staff. Responses on time but not always with solutions. Average quality homes in general. Lack of clarify on timeline, like closing date. Lack of communication in some aspects.

Quick and easy experience for home purchase

The best part of my buying experience was getting a quality house and dealing with a very helpful sales agent. Worse part the incompetent loan company I had to send the same documents multiple times. I have excellent credit it took them forever to approve me. We got close to losing the lock on the interest rate. The construction team were not responsive to close the punch list before the closing date and we moved to a dirty house.

I would like to share my overall experience with the sales and construction teams, highlighting both positive aspects and areas for improvement. Sales Team: My interaction with the sales team was generally positive. The representatives were attentive and helpful, addressing most of my queries adequately. However, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of providing more frequent updates and detailed answers to specific questions I had. A more comprehensive approach from the sales department would have enhanced my overall experience. Construction Team: Unfortunately, my experience with the construction team was not great. There were consistent delays, and numerous mistakes were made throughout the building process. I had to bring these mistakes to their attention during my periodic walks of the property under construction. All the mistakes were handled as I brought them to their attention, but still shouldn't have to catch these as a buyer. In addition, the construction team was addressing outstanding issues during the final walk, creating challenges for me to thoroughly assess and sign off on the completed work. I believe there is a need for better coordination and communication within the construction team to avoid such issues. Timely completion of tasks outlined during walk-throughs is crucial for ensuring customer satisfaction. I hope this feedback proves constructive in enhancing future customer experiences. Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of my home, although I had to closely oversee the process and the work's quality. I also had to file warranty claims to address issues that were not resolved before the closing. ... More

We signed for an already started Richmond spec house in June. 2023. Promised to be completed in Aug. 2023, but delayed to what ever the reason is! By the promised time we sold our house by Richmond provided agency and paid rent until the new Richmond home is completed and closed on Oct. 31st. I requested Jaci to consider reimbursement of the rent amount ($3700), but she declined it.

Rob, the superintendent we had in the beginning was absolutely amazing! He provided updates every week on the home building process for us. Alex was our rep was absolutely outstanding with how he handles business and makes the process so smooth. Towards the end of the home building process, we got a new superintendent named John. John lacked communication and hardly ever responded to text messages. He would always tell us text messages were the best way to reach him but never responded back. It got to the point that we had to reach out to Alex numerous times to get a response back from John. There were multiple minimal things that needed to be done with our home. Every time we ask John about updates on when the house damages will be fixed, he always either does not respond to the question or doesn’t respond at all. It’s extremely frustrating. We have been in our home for almost a month now and the damages are still sitting all over our home. We love our home but the lack of effort and communication from John is poor. ... More

I am pleased to provide a positive evaluation of my buying experience. The service I received from Terri was exceptional, surpassing my expectations. Terri's willingness to assist me went above and beyond, even extending her support outside of regular business hours. Her enthusiasm and constant smile made it effortless for me to approach her for any assistance I needed. Terri's exceptional customer service has undoubtedly created a lasting impression and will make me return for future help without hesitation.

It was okay, not superior or poor.

Things that were pointed out during the walk through were said to have been fixed but they were not. When asking to resolve these issues nothing has come of it. They say they will fix it but fail to give a time frame on when making us think it will never be fixed. Corners were cut during the building process that we have noticed after living here for a month.

Too many little issues We will see how they are handled

1-Star Review: Extremely Disappointed with Richmond American Homes – Poor Communication and Follow-Through I purchased a home with Richmond American Homes in Second Creek (Commerce City, CO), and my experience has been extremely frustrating. Once the sales rep completed the sale, they completely abandoned me. They stopped answering my calls, texts, and emails — not even a courtesy response to my follow-up questions about my home or the promised post-closing items. To make matters worse, the construction supervisor has also failed to take responsibility for sprinkler lines that were buried on the property Line that were supposed to be repaired. Despite multiple requests and reminders, nothing has been fixed. It feels like as soon as they handed me the keys, they disappeared and stopped caring altogether. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and accountability from a builder as large as Richmond. Unfortunately, the lack of communication, follow-up, and customer service has left me completely disappointed. If you’re considering buying a Richmond home in this community, be cautious and make sure you get every promise in writing — because once you close, you may be on your own. ... More

We really enjoyed working with Lia on the home purchase. She was responsive and very helpful. 3 weeks after moving in we discovered a leak from the roof that caused significant water damage and mold on one side of the house. After a week of inspection they began tearing up my brand new house, installing blowers and fans. This is still in process and expect it will last about another month before it will be put back together. Needless to say, we are not happy. When I asked about compensation for our significant inconvenience, Richmond responded with “We don’t do that”.

We recently purchased and moved into a new home. Overall, we like the house. Unfortunately, many of our blue tape items were not taken care of prior to moving like we were told they would be, including items that should have been resolved prior to closing. The responsiveness of the team has been less than ideal. Several of our items (broken concrete, broken screen door- to name a few) are still unresolved. We recognize we are not the only customers. However, when you purchase a home, there are certain expectations that have not been met.

I already submitted like 5 warranty issues in only 1 month of buying the house. Including and issue of the floor. Every time that rains a lot of water comes from the garage floor and living room. This is crazy!!

The roof line looks like it has speed bumps in it. Speaking to neighbors I learned everyone has issues. The walk thru was a joke. Andrew was like, "We aren't fixing that." All houses have been sold and the retaining ponds are horrible. Full of trash and debris. My house humidity runs around 75-85% due to fresh air return not working. I've been in my home 30 days and had to clean out my gutters. They were clogged solid on inspection and they told us that it wasn't their problem. They were not cleaning them. The warranty people told me that they would take care of it but never showed up. It's a beautiful home. But build quality isn't very good. ... More

The overall purchasing experience with Richmond homes was good. The responsiveness to the issues we’ve had was delayed or still ongoing. Some items from our final walk through were not corrected. Having a leaking sink the second week living here and water damage has taken place. It took Richmond a week to respond and resolve. Very beautiful homes. Very poor service.
