Richmond American Reviews

This was my third experience with new construction. I can honestly say this was my best experience. The Sales team was super friendly throughout the process. The construction manager was outstanding!

I expected a better quality build, materials and especially workmanship very disappointing.

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!

Very satisfactory experience of buying home. Great customer experience. Prompt response to the queries. and smooth process to address any concerns post move in.

Noah was the best to work with. He was very quick to respond to questions and just very down to earth. Thank you Noah!!!

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.

I love my new home.

We sure are in our new home. Every bit of the process was smooth. Every person I worked with was kind, professional, and very responsive. I think it was 21 days from purchase agreement to full loan approval. Thank you for building us a great home, Richmond American!

Sara, Mary, and Dave were all terrific to work with and took care of us getting what we wanted in the house. Great home for the value compared to other builders in the area.

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 kitchen cabinets are worst than a old water heater shed material. Richmond American Homes refuse to fix anything, these house are worst built than KB homes. The sale folks and finance company are thief's and scammers. The entire Richmond American homes staff have lied to me from day one. promises from sale people that are never keep. There rude as hell... Buying from Richmond American Homes has been one of the biggest mistakes of our lives. THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL, YOU WILL BE UNHAPPY AND YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF BY RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES. ... More

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.

I am very happy with the service. Excellent

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 you ... More

I have been trying for weeks to get a dead tree and plants replace they said they are not under warranty! This is poor service for a house we paid $500 thousand for. What a scam.

It was great working with Henry, he has been accommodating. I believer the in-house lenders need to work in their communication as well as tone towards their customers.

Very nice homes very clean

Their loan department sucks period. Everything else is good. Excellent to CET walk and warranty dept. Dj is on top of it! Sales is excellent as well. For the builder, there are lots of unfinished stuff, DJ of warranty made sure these will all get fix!

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.

We love our new home and we are overall happy in it. The homes and the neighborhood is beautiful and there is plenty of space. It is also very quiet inside the home so even with construction still happening we don’t bear anything when inside. I’m giving three stars because considering how expensive things are, and how experienced Richmond is in building homes, things should be completed by closing and the warranty should be a last option. Instead, Richmond relies on making the buyer file a warranty claim rather than just having everything complete in the first place. If you do need to file a warranty claim you will have to wait 30-45 days before you can even get that process started. ... More

We were so excited, when it comes to the size of the home and location. Salesman Mr. Garrett Luther just awesome to work with. Other than that, build quality can be improved. Covered plumbing underneath the sink should have been caulked to cover them properly. Trim under the island just an eye soring--should not have left the way it was from the start. Run off paint, exhaust tubes for water heater all dirty. Broken gate, water flooding water meter from next door, sprinkler heads left exposed. I wish I could give a higher rating. I hope Richmond can make an improvement from my honest review.

Richmond loan officer was very difficult to work with. Had to wait long periods of time to get responses. Total home purchasing took 3.5 months. Would have liked a definite answer. Was asked to get a separate appraisal then it wasn't accepted. Finally Richmond decided to share their appraisal after 3 months of back and forth on purchasing the home.

It’s was a Great experience

To know what I know now I would have made a different choice in purchasing a new home. Quality of materials Craftsmanship Responsiveness to issues Are all the reasons I would have chosen another builder. I do believe the people who work at Richmond (for the most part) want to do the right thing; however, they are hindered by turn over, horrible contractors and bottom of the barrel materials. This isn’t my first new home purchase from Richmond. Maybe it’s just the community I live in that has these issues. However, I shouldn’t have to overcome turn over and bad contractor issues, that is the responsibility of Richmond and its leadership. I had high level visibility to the issues I encountered, I was and still am being ignored. ... More
