What are your thoughts? Which Builders do you think are the WORST and The BEST?

[bluebarry]

8 years ago I used Neal Builders. Before I moved to the lakewood Ranch area of Florida, I was a home builder, so pleasing me was hard. I wanted everything to be as I would have built it. I was 95% satisfied with their construction. The only thing that concerns me was how the roofing sub contract address any protrusion through the roof. They relied heavily on using roofing mastic to keep water out. The protrusion was not addressed as the national standards for protrusions are required. I would choose them again should I want to build a new house.

I never saw one good thing about D R HORTON

[KarenACalvo]

My builder (Lennar) has moved the closing date 4 times. First April, then May then June now end of July. Come to find out they havent even submitted the required documents to the county to obtain the certificate of occupancy.

[teleclast]

Very useful. I find that a lot of people fear being negative, and you put it just right. It serves a great purpose. Thank you for being open as someone who actually works with them.

[KenRobertson]

For the love God, don't buy a DR Horton home

[thomaswilbur]

A HUGE POTENTIAL PROBLEM
are all the stucco outside of homes. How long do they last here. Problems with cracking. Cost of repair and maintenance and water and mould getting behind those surfaces

[keeplearning]

love your videos! You provide information that other agents do not! Much appreciated!

[brentonwhitten]

I do home repair for a living mattamy and lennar are the worst i have ever seen. I constaly walk into new builds that need 30+ thousand in tepairs just to make them what they were supposed to be in the first place. Nothing about them is good. Shortcuts and shorting materials in walls and critical structural components, zero quality control on finish work, saving money by cutti g corners on electrical, improperly sized A/c units and water Heaters, the list just goes on and on. I have had over 50 customers in brand new builds need 30 grand in repairs just to make the house the way it was supposed to be delivered.

Great video, but price range is " before" you pick options. If you want it to look close to the Model. Add 25%

[rytyjay]

They’re mostly one and two stars because the bang for your buck is garbage. I’ve looked at many new builds and everything is hallow and cheap all the way to the appliances.

[timsharkey]

Casually looking in LWR area as I'm retiring in 3-4 years. Any new construction contract will say unlimited inspections done my me, or professional inspector. If they say no, the deal ends there.

Taylor Morrison is without a doubt the best Builder

[lizhannan]

Love your video. Some really get tips. Please please change the spelling on "Tier" in this video. It was very distracting while watching. Other than that I loved it. 🥰

[jasoncolemanarizonaloanoff]

Went into a Dr Horton model and it had all kinds of issues!! I was thinking how do you not fix these things in a model home?!! Just crappy building...

[rrivera]

Great video. You did a a great job. Exactly what I thought, in the last several years I have taken the time to look and learn about these builders and I was on the money for a non-expert in the field. Another builder whose would be in the tier 3 would be GL. They build mostly around Naples and Boca Ratón area. Thank you

[matthewcrosson]

Very informative! Thanks so much! We have a toll brothers townhome in NJ....it was built like Fort Knox...in it for 18 years. It's got design...which is a breath of fresh air. The boxy homes in some communities could be better designed.

[kimdenardo]

excellent video. thanks for your honesty.

[annehechesliverdonation]

Try 95% of all of them. If you want something done right in Florida you better either have a connection or do it yourself, otherwise I guarantee you will be disappointed.

[jjared]

I wouldn’t buy from Beazer or Pulte.
I have worked for both.
Their finished product is trash.
