Reseñas de DiVosta Homes

Our experience with Pulte has been great. Justin R and Pat, Our construction managers were the best! This is a beautiful subdivision.

We love our new home. We came from out of state, so we were not able to see our home being built first hand. We relied on friends to send us pictures so we could monitor the progress. Our construction manager, Mike, kept in touch with us, and gave us timely updates on the progress of our home. Mike would give us updates, send pictures, and completion estimates which we planned our move around. The issue came up when the sales team sent us an email with an earlier close date than expected. The house was not ready. We hired an inspector to do a final walkthrough, and he found multiple issues with the fit and finish of the house. Grout, caulk, and paint issues were persistent throughout the home. There was glue all over the brand new bedroom carpet. Doors were not installed correctly, including the front door. The house was not ready. We delayed our closing and informed Divosta of the issues that needed repair before we closed. Mike got to work, and most of the items were fixed and we were able to close on our new house. We arrived several days later to see our new home for the first time. It was beautiful! However, as we walked around to inspect everything, we began to notice all the "little things" that took away from the newness and beauty of our home. Paint spatters and drips were all over our beautiful new tile floors. Grout was all over the shower floors in both bathrooms. Door casings were cut poorly and masked with extra caulk. Trim work on our kitchen cabinets was mismatched. Window frames had caulk and paint messes all over them. Front door threshold has a gap underneath which bends the plate when stepped on. Sliding glass door tracks were filled with grout and debris and overspray. Paint drips are visible on many walls throughout the house. The Lanai was very dirty with grout and sand spray all over the aluminum frame and screens. Paint and stucco are on many of the pavers outside. To us, it appears Divosta did a great job building our house, and we believe it to be a solid, well built home. But the fit and finish were rushed, with very little attention to detail, that left us disappointed. We are now in the process of dealing with our customer care representative, and trust all these "little things" will be promptly corrected. One last note... Our house is in the middle of a lot of building going on, with many houses around us still in the process of completion. We understand there will be construction mess around us for quite some time, and we are ready for that. However, the mess in the new lots is beyond acceptable with overflowing dumpsters, trash blowing down the street on a daily basis, empty pallets strewn about the front yards, plastic wrap stuck in trees. Last week, an overflowing dumpster was picked up with all the overflow garbage dumped on the street. It sat there for days, even after a new dumpster was dropped off. Every day I clean up these messes in front of my home and my neighbors. The construction crews need to do a much better job of keeping the worksite clean. We have friends coming to visit in a couple of weeks and we want to be able to proudly show off our beautiful new home. It would be embarrassing to us for them to see our street in it's current condition. Overall, we love our new home, and appreciate the work you have done. ... Más

On site Bill is super and responds. Takes a while to get on people on the phone. Overall well built home.

builder very responsive. Finish work could be a little better.

Overall we are pleased with our purchase. The sales rep Jim was very courteous and responsive. The project managers turned over frequently and resulted in very limited communication and updates. However, the final manager Pat was excellent and always tried to keep in contact. He did a great job with the walk-through and setting up the punch list. The warranty manager Ryan has also been very responsive and helpful. Although forewarned, one overall concern with DiVosta’s approach is the difficulty in making even minor changes during the process. Also, the final closing was a very rushed process. In summary, the personnel were commendable and we would recommend DiVosta. ... Más

Almost everything went smoothly and efficiently. Only criticism is that for people who are not from the area, accessing and contacting all the agencies, utilities etc, could be outline in one document with advice. I found I had to go to a number of people for answers and it made it more confusing. Beyond that everything was excellent!

Ryan our point of contact with any minor issues we encounter has been great at resolving and addressing the issues. Kudos to his professionalism. Thank you.

Our 4th Divosta home. Enough said.

It will probably take longer to build your house than you think

We realize that building a home comes with many little moving parts. So we appreciate the effort of Joe and Kaitlyn, who is taking care of the little things that need to be done.Special kudos to Joe who always answered our emails and provided us with timely updates on our home. Over, the quality of the build is excellent.

We knew we were building at a difficult time due to supply chain issues and labor shortages, but the experience was mostly positive. Our CM, Justin, was great through the process. Our salesperson, Linda, stepped in and got us through a few rough spots. Biggest negative was the closing process. Unrealistic expectations were set. Closing agents insisted we be ready to transfer funds when we knew closing was impossible. Seemed very one sided. Builder wanted there final payment at first opportunity without any regard for the planning necessary on the part of the customer. Never really knew when closing would finally happen until 48 hours before it actually did, and even then there was a fiasco about the C of O and a reluctance to release keys, even though builder had our money. That process needs to be looked at, as it tarnished and otherwise positive experience. Without our sales agent, Linda, getting involved, I do not know what would have happened. ... Más

The people are amazing. Justin, Jessica And Kaitlyn Were terrific

We cannot praise Jane (Divosta sales rep) highly enough. Daniel, the design consultant was a delight. Sadly, we cannot say the same for the closing experience. It was very unprofessional and whether the blame lies with the title company or someone at Divosta they coordinate with, or both, we cannot say with any certainty. But for the terrible closing experience, the overall rating would have been higher. As the title indicates, the punch list was long but Aurelio (one of the persons responsible for punch lists) has worked hard to get the subs back to complete their work properly. He also gets very high praise from us. He and Jane are the reasons for 5 stars on Responsiveness and Trustworthiness. We are 45 days post-closing and while there are a few significant items left, those trades are scheduled to be here in the next 30 days; and based upon Aurielo's efforts to date, we are optimistic. Friends who have purchased from other major builders in the Sarasota-Manatee region seem to be waiting longer than us. It is easily discerned that the overall quality of our Divosta home (once the punch list items are completed) is better than any we have seen in this price range. We cannot give the quality 5 stars on its own, but we would give only 2 or 3 stars to the end product of the two other builders we have seen in this price range. Hence, the 5 stars for value. ...

Still a work in progress but we understand some products are not available but we are kept informed from the Divosta staff.

Overall, the builders lived up to their reputation. Ramifications from COVID understandably contributed to delays in work and product availability timelines. The quality of the workmanship for particular finishes may reflect the time crunches caused by such delays or limitations in the skill of some workers.

Brittnay from warranty has been persistent and effective in addressing our “ punch list” in a timely way.

Most of the work is great, but some of the contractors are sloppy and you need to be on top of them to get everything right.

The building of our home was completed "right on time"

Love the home, but delays made it rough juggling things around until closing took place. Availability of materials were very frustrating.

Overall a great experience, however lots of cosmetics issues that I had to call out/bring to Customer Care/ the Field Manager's attention to be addressed after closing.

Love this floor plan and all the space.

My new home at Talon Preserve is wonderful. The experience with the staff has been great! The reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is because we didn't close on time (only by a week) and after we moved in we noticed a few things weren't attended to....some paint drips, caulk on the tile, etc.. Overall, I would buy from DiVOSTA again.

Nice home and well built.

We love our new house

There were a few minor issues (mostly cosmetic) before and since our closing a month ago but our construction rep before closing, Bill, and our post closing rep, Andreas, were, and are, very responsive and sincere about us wanting to be happy in our new home.
