WRONG …first off, irrigation was busted when I moved in , 2nd main bathroom had exterior leak… once u buy the house the communication is immediately cut inhalf… this house can’t go a month without an issue.. 3rd problem is floor creeks so badly in 3 different spots can’t use the bathroom without waking up the wife..

THE PRE-SALE EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD AND HIGH QUALITY. HOWEVER ONCE I SIGNED , THINGS FLIPPED AND MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE SALES AGENT AND THE WARRANTY PERSON HAS BEEN SUPER ROUGH. I WILL LIKELY THINK TWICE BUYING WITH RICHMOND AMERICAN AGAIN.

Homeowner

  • Johnstown, CO

We love the location and floorplan of the home. The process to purchase the home was smooth. For the price of the home, I believe the builder used subpar finishes. No pendant lighting or room lighting other than outlets, no drawers in bathrooms, no backsplash. They've never repaired our slider that has a torn screen. It was on the check list but not corrected. Several items that should have been caught by at least the inspector, we are now waiting to have repaired through the warranty like no cold water in the kitchen. Who checks that? We didn't. Once we moved in, very little ...

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience. Our walk through was not done correctly. There was a few things that were not disclosed when we first looked at the house. Things that need to be fixed before closing werent, the super was no where to be found. The list goes on. The issues that got rolled over havent been fixed ,again super nowhere to be found. Took about 3-4 weeks of me calling around for information and finally got a hold of a gentleman that is now moving things along. Some items have been fixed and finally someone that you can actually count on answering and getting you ...

I had a great experience with Richmond American. The whole process was smooth. I've been in my new home for over a month now. The house is amazing, the neighborhood is what I wanted. I think I made the right choice with this new construction in a beautiful location that is growing.

Good sales team. Average built & materials quality.

Stock homes only with no flexibility to alter the smallest detail. Material used and appliances are mostly dated. Sales team is pretty considerate but have no say with design. Designers likely work with limited SKUs but designs and materials need to be refreshed to current trends

Carin from Richmond American Home was an Amazing salesman made for an easy care free buying experience. I give the hole buying experience a 10/10. Patricia from Guardian Title made for a smooth closing not one issue the hole time. Gave good information for easy care stress free Closing Day, also another 10/10. Can't express enough how they both made for best experience for buying my 1st home and a New build at that. Thanks and God Bless.

Great Overall First Home Experience with some Annoyances

Working with Suzanne was an absolute pleasure. As a first-time homebuyer, I appreciated her advocacy and the knowledge she shared throughout the process. Her expertise and dedication made buying a home manageable and enjoyable! However, I’ve faced some challenges with home care and communication with the superintendent and others. While these issues have been frustrating, I am hopeful they will be resolved soon. Nice guy, but probably busy, but I only care about the end result ultimately. The paint and baseboards are abysmal. Not a huge fan of the gaslighting by one of their other reps ...

We had a great buying experience from Richmond American for our townhome in the Aurora Highlands. Thank you to Mick, the superintendent, who went above and beyond to present the house perfectly at closing and quickly attend to any loose ends after the sale. Having Mick as our superintendent really made our buying experience one of a kind and we would definitely recommend anyone to buy from Richmond American due to this.

Good home at a tough time.

I understand timing is everything. I was tired of living in a tiny apartment after I retired from the military. Why is it so hard to find an affordable house. Oh well, like the title implies, a good home at a tough time. There are areas of the house you can tell were rushed, the bath tub was scratched when it was installed, the frame doesn't line up near the entrance door, the ceiling was sagging in the master bedroom. You guys sold a $300 thousand dollar house for half a million dollars, at least you could have taken your time. Could have at least astro-turfed the backyard so it keeps ...

House is okay, contractors are rude.

  • Mark K.

  • Star, ID

The house is decent, even though there are some finishing touches that need to be resolved. There seems to be no policing of the contractors that are still building homes right across from us. We expected noise, that’s part of building new houses, however the constant music and the trash everywhere is ridiculous. The contractors also park wherever they want, including in front of our driveway. We have to abide by the HOA rules, but the contractors can do whatever they want, and it’s very frustrating to live next to!

Not exactly customer service people

  • James S.

  • Williamsport, MD

The builders’ representatives are little concerned with pleasing or helping potential buyers, except as it gets a sale made. Different areas of the company don’t even know each other, much less communicate or work together. Someone in the higher leadership in this company could make a BIG difference by having serving others well the cultural foundation value.

My experience with Richmond American Homes was not the best. Our sales agent, Lizett, had significant communication issues regarding our closing and walkthrough dates. Despite her assurances, we frequently had to follow up, which was frustrating. Additionally, her explanations of the buying process were often unclear and misleading, though I believe this was not intentional. She would benefit from training to improve her communication skills and ensure her statements are accurate and clear. Overall, dealing with her felt very challenging. In contrast, the lender provided excellent ...
