Reseñas en Detroit, MI

Every Person I had discussion with was responsive to my questions and needs. This made my path down the purchase and new construction easy.

While Del Webb does a good job of supplying a quality product, there are problems in Del Webb communities that need addressing. First, the management company does not register new homeowners for weeks. It does not matter how dedicated the local folks are, the corporate office does not well support the local folks, so there are real issues. Also, while the home build was fine, Del Webb does not do a good job of managing traffic in new build areas, so one often has to wait to get in and out of one’s own house. Also, on occasion the driveway itself is blocked. This is a real issue because at times emergency vehicles could would not be able to get in and out. Pulte is exposing itself to an huge liability here, but it does not seem to mind. Also, deliveries to private residences seem to have a lot of failures, perhaps because delivery vehicles could not get in and out. And for some odd reason, perhaps the same issue, trash has not been picked up for others. These are real issues that need to be addressed. ... Más

Because of medical issues, our living situation had changed, and we no longer could live in our 2-story home. I started looking for a senior community with many amenities. Kensington Ridge fit the bill! My first contact was with salesperson Elaine. What a blessing! She advised and reassured me throughout the buying process and had many great suggestions. She certainly made the buying and scheduling process a breeze as I had to deal with many other situations during this process. The construction process went as planned. Just a few hiccups, but nothing that was not corrected in a timely manner. The construction walk throughs were informative and the closing process was easy. Nolan was readily responsive to my needs with moving in issues. He had work orders ready to fix issues immediately and came to my home himself to remediate some problems. Everyone I dealt with was helpful and pleasant, but I do need to single out Elaine in sales and Nolan in construction as they both went "above and beyond" in customer service. They certainly deserve recognition from Pulte. ... Más

Everyone was professional and helpful to the extent they were able to coordinate all the pieces.

We enjoyed our experience building our new home at Kensington Ridge, starting with our salesperson Julie who guided us in selecting our lot and floor plan and exploring and pricing our various options. She patiently answered all our questions- and there were many! The designer Kim helped us pull together all the design elements. And the construction crew led by Mike, Nolan and Frank provided weekly building updates and were very responsive whenever we had concerns. Since we moved in, issues have been promptly addressed. Our neighbors are great. And have you seen the clubhouse?!? Wowza!

Overall, the experience was great. We only had one concern. After paying for the expensive shower head, the door would not swing properly as it hit the shower head. Any new buyers, beware of placement of the shower head regarding the shower door swing. It should be placed higher than the door top.

The sales team was wonderful to work with, providing great suggestions and guiding us through the whole process. The construction managers we dealt with were very responsive, and the overall build quality is great. We love our Del Webb community! Our only major complaint is with the HVAC workmanship in the basement. We paid extra for a full basement with higher ceilings so that we could finish it later. Unfortunately, the HVAC contractor ran the ductwork below the ceiling joists haphazardly, with no regard for preserving open ceiling space. Runs that could’ve been place along walls were run right down the center of the ceiling, and some runs were even hung diagonally across the ceiling. The Del webb construction manager told us “that’s just the way they do it,” and “it meets code.” We will have to have most of the HVAC runs redone before we finish our basement. Very disappointed in this aspect of our Del Webb experience! We expected a higher standard than “meets code.” ... Más

Attention to detail. Some of our windows feel a bit drafty when you get close to them. Otherwise, the house is as we expected.

Workers keep cutting my internet lines.

During the build, water run off was an issue and improvements were made based on my request. The basement is dry now. After closing issuse are being addressed one by one and going well. There are two significant issues about the garage and deck graded the wrong way appears to be a serious problem. We will see what happens.

The builder covered up water quality issues in the community.

Sales people don’t give honest answers. Slow how to approve requests. Many things you find out from people who bought before you

We were happy with the sales experience. Build Quality was very good. At pre-closing walkthrough, we were told any issues within 30 days would be immediately handled by quality control manager. That never happened. Two messages asking for very minor issues to be corrected were never answered or acknowledged.

The concept of KR is good, the execution is cookie cutter. Poorly designed spaces that defy logic. Cheap cost cutting measures leave a new home owner with a bad taste in their mouth. Sure hope the lifestyle is worth it.

Except for the sales person, who was very good and responsive, the rest, for the most part, you are non existent, once closing was done… the only way, I come across information is through the residence Facebook. Filled out forms during Dell Webb orientation.. with the manager… we have no name tags, never been contacted by e-mail for events or anything, my e-mail to the manager was ignored, no newsletter, it has been over 6 weeks we still do not have an account number through the title company… we have been busy getting our previous house ready for sale etc…

My expectations of DelWebb were low to begin with. I have no doubt this likely seems unlikely from your end however my experience with DelWebb has been terrible from the start. The initial sales agent had to be replaced and as a result I contacted my lawyer about elder abuse which requires a level to be met to proceed. Even though the lawyer felt we met the standard I did not pursue as proving monetary damages would have been a challenge. So lets start there, the initial sales agent simply did not do his job, did not effectively communicate and left many things undone that suddenly had to be done on the day of contracting/closing. He did not properly nor professionally communicate signing needs especially about the down payment. Prior to signing the contract he gave vague answers on what to bring at contract signing and did not communicate at all with regard to how to handle the down payment. He "alluded to" financing options but never bothered to follow up and never bothered to speak of down payment again until signature day at the end. Unprofessional, evasive, and irresponsible would be how I describe his actions. Based on this if he was my responsibility he would have been fired from DelWebb and I feel strongly enough on this I consulted a lawyer. Enough about him he is useless and dishonest. Elaine outshined him is every way possible. Moving on to contract management. I did receive regular updates on the progress but was never information how to use my login credentials. I finally figured out I needed to associate the address in the DelWebb portal to see the comments but once I did this it was a waste of time as the information was minimal. Can't see why DelWebb even bothered to update the portal as the information was minimal. I assume none of these people have cell phones to take a picture of the work and include in the portal to show the work being done. Many of the inspection points were last minute with very little notice to schedule time to inspect. The effort on your part was not at an appropriate level. As we moved further to close the pace picked up but it was hampered by DelWebb wanting the close to happen far and above any concern about the work getting done and getting it done right. The day of closing the DelWebb rep (nice guy but more concerned with getting our approval rather than getting it done right) was running around trying to coordinate our signature rather than getting the work done to our satisfaction. Workers were in and out of the house with shoes on running around trying to get everything done. The rep was more concerned with getting a positive survey so he could get full pay rather than getting the work done to our satisfaction. In fact any DelWebb employee that depends on survey results to get paid talked about it with us and pleaded for a 5 star across the board. I think this is distasteful and I will rate people as I see it. With the exception of Elaine I can't think of one person in the organization deserving of a 5 star in any category. home that needs many reI recognize this is DelWebb home and not the Mortgage side however I have never experienced a financial organization experience worse than what I went through. Absolutely the worst financial experience I've ever been exposed to. Enough on that here. So we now have a repairs needed and finishing touches as a result of your focus being directed at getting closed and getting 5 star ratings. Our internet was down upon moving into the house because YOUR contractors apparently cannot distinguish between grass and internet cable. They cut the line. So moving day involved contacting ATT and resolving that issue. Total nonsense. I haven't even had time to go over the outside of the home and expect issues there one of which is a downspout for the water runoff depositing water directly on our OPTIONAL back patio. Why would anyone do this? I'm sure there will be many other issues we discover over time. The only thing DelWebb has going for it with Kensington Ridge is location and hopefully amenities once the clubhouse opens. Can't believe people have put up with not having these amenities prior to now. So bottom line, DelWebb as a builder and company is terrible. I can assure you with I build my next home I will use a builder who truly gives a darn about their homes and finish quality. I have learned a valuable lesson here and that is to NOT deal with DelWebb again. I have not run into a single resident or contractor at Kensington Ridge who has anything good to say about DelWebb. Given your operational lack of excellence this comes as no surprise but it should certainly give management some concerns. Please do not contact my wife about this. If you wish to speak on the matter you have my name and I'm sure my contact information. ... Más
