Overall, very happy with the home buying experience with Shea. Josephine was amazing, extremely helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. The rest of the team, from the construction to the design team were very knowledgeable and helpful. Gavin has also been very responsive and timely with all of the warranty follow ups.

Everyone we encountered has been professional. The sales reps were responsive, the designer was excellent, and the field managers were informative. There probably should be more than one person handling warranty issues and customer service after close of escrow. There seems to be disorganization and miscommunication there. The workmanship was generally as expected - middle-grade quality. Despite all the delays prior to closing, the home buying process with Shea Homes was an overall great experience!

I am a returning homebuyer, I bought a Shea Hime property in 2004 and had a wonderful experience. This time I did have a great experience with the sales team however the process of inspection and addressing construction issues was not compared to my first experience and it definitely needs improvement.

Shea has been great overall. Communication, value, and quality. The only problem that we’ve had was length of construction, but I would trade length for quality any day.

We had a great experience buying our first home with Shea! From the design team working with Lorri, to working with Tom and Victor, they are always responsive and here to help! Victor stops by often if we have a question and to check on us and we really appreciate that. We feel cared for and everyone we've worked with has felt like a friend!

Overall good experience buying new home from Shea

Overall was a positive experience from initial interactions all the way to closing. Shea team did job of keeping us updated along the way and were responsive to queries and clarifications, and we had pleasant interactions with entire team we were engaged with. Our closing walk through found mostly minor issues so that came as a good surprise. The workmanship while not perfect (we don't expect any home builder to be) certainly met our expectations for the most parts. Would recommend based on our experience so far.

Had a great experience with Shea overall at the direct level. However, had I hired some of the subcontractors myself outside of costs being part of the mortgage — including those who did the blinds (sloppy work), solar/Sdge (still trying to setup), or misnamed “white glove” service (just a bizarre lack of quality service) — I would have moved on long ago and found better service providers. Two months in, I still can’t get a few things completed that should be off the list of to-dos. These annoyances, and I hate to say it, ultimately fall back on Shea Homes — who has otherwise been fantastic. ...

Overall, a good buying experience with Shea Homes. I was told of a framed walk-thru, but never happened. Timelines were non-existed or vague. Construction workers and other workers were helpful and very knowledgeable. Location and pricing were excellent. Buying process were a bit chaotic with VIP's being involved in the buying process.

Great customer service by Josephine Hasting & Jibron aka Joey the construction guy was very informative & patient with going over the details of the new home With us. Ricky was a very pushy guy who didn’t let me note any minor issues in the house, as he says “everything can’t be perfect “. There is a lack of response to house issues as we’re still waiting for our floors issues to be fixed, but we love our new home. Love the community get togethers to meet our new neighbors and the quick development of our neighborhood/community. Glad to part of the Shea community.

Solar panel connections were the night mare. Solar Power company is not responsive and very difficult to reach. Thanks to Ryan the tech, he fixed everything. My power grid was pressure washed and of course full of dust and also rust can you imagine in a brand new home your power grid is like that. Night mare.

Beautiful Home

Despite a 7 month delay of moving in due to “municipalities,” the home is very beautiful and just what we expected. Management is friendly and responsive for the most part. There is a lot going on while construction is happening. We enjoyed meeting workers and networking to install this or that in our home. In case we have any problems in the future, we know who we can call.
