DiVosta Homes Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

The whole process was smooth.

...a wonderful community with many included amenities!

The building process was fantastic! The field manager kept me informed and answered all my questions.

Island walk is a great community the people have been welcoming and friendly, Divosta did a good job with us. Project manager did a great job

With workers being dedicated to each facet of construction, and a strong process, home was built in 4 months. Supervisor was very responsive and handled issues promptly. Parts of the work was sloppy - painting especially and some of the installations (e.g. showers).

We bought our home in February and closed in August but because of Covid have not been able to see it in person. Our project manager was great at calling us with updates, pictures and videos along the process and before closing. During the final tour we found some minor things which they corrected within 24 hours. We feel very confident that our home will be everything we expected and we hope to see and enjoy it in person very soon.

Our home was built while we were out of town. Communication was great and our home is beautiful with few few issues after we moved in.

We were pleased with the accuracy of the projected timeline of completion and closing dates.

We couldn't be more pleased with our new home in Island Walk. The building process was easy and the credit goes to the sales and building team. They made the whole process easy!! Thank you for your great work!

So far the experience has been very good. Since we have not been able to occupy our new home yet we can't make a completely accurate assessment on all aspects of the criteria listed above. There was one outstanding issue that has not been resolved yet (a damaged window screen).

Because of the speed in constructing these houses simple things like inproper hanging of windows and doors and especially the lanai sliding glass doors the buyer suffers dealing with getting these things repaired whitch sometime takes a long time.

The many options available can be somewhat overwhelming. Make sure you take your time to select exactly what you want and ask questions even if you have to repeat them for yourself. We were not able to be on location while the house was built, but received photos throughout the process, which was very exciting and helpful. Interacting with the onsite project manager over the phone and via email was easy and efficient. No worries!

List all of your concerns and report them to them to your project managers so they can be addressed. Many of the flaws will be a quick fix. The most urgent problems will be attended to first so they don't become a major issue in the future. When the staff plans to do a repair at your home, have them give you a scheduled date and time. This way you will be prepared to be at home and ready to assist if necessary.

Ceilings & walls need to be taped in kitchen and living and dining room, Floors need to be cleaned and grout has three colors. We haven't put any furniture in yet because the floors were (are) a mess. Counter is falling apart and has big scratches, The sliding door was Caulked so it doesn't go into the pocket, Tiles in the bath room need to be Caulked. The gutters need to be added in the corners. had 21 things on the list.

This is our second Pulte home. We were very pleased with Dominic during our sales process and Shaun during construction. Our new home is beautiful and suits our lifestyle very well.

If you are buying home from Divosta/Pulte - find your own title company, because they will charge you for title insurance. But actually you don't need title insurance with a brand new house. Low quality of kitchen cabinets

Home buying experience was excellent! Design and options experience with Joan was outstanding. Build experience with Nick was also excellent, although you do have to watch the build as we corrected several mistakes with our project manager during the build. Recommend viewing the build on Sundays when construction crews are not working. Overall, we worked with quality people who were professionals.

1. Recommend an option for pool and spa railings. Given the age of the community, it was mind-boggling to my wife and I that this was not available. We now have to go out and arrange to have done at more cost than if it were completed when the pool/spa was built. 2. We spend $ 1,200 after closing to change-out side pool cage screening to privacy screening. This also should be an option that would have saved us some money. Cage company stated that having this as an option would not cause any planning/execution problems. Given the small distance between homes, this should have been available. 3. We spent $ 11,000 for the Gathering Room extension. The work was done but (a) the location of the dining room table chandelier was off-center by almost 2 feet per building code and the standard location of a table and a buffet, and (b) the dining room window was put in the wrong place given the design of the dining room area. We are still, after almost 2 months, waiting to have the light placement issue fixed. We are also waiting on hearing that several other issues have been resolved. 4. Extremely happy with our sales person. 5. Extremely happy with our project manager. 6. Very dissatisfied with our warranty person on the timing and communication re: our list of warranty issues especially the dining room. ... More

Thank you for a great forever home!!

Seemed to me that the base house was pretty basic and almost everything was considered an upgrade. Everything had to be done on their schedule with little to no consideration for us.

Great experience. Project supervisor was extremely helpful and responded to all our questions quickly.

Very disappointed in the overall experience. Windows were missing balance rods, customer service not responsive.

Get an outside 3rd party home inspection. I did and we still have many outstanding issues that should have been addressed prior to closing.

Our construction occurred during the COVID outbreak. Our building/field manager, Joe, worked closely with us as we were not able to travel to the house for our interim and celebration walk throughs. Joe face timed us and kept us informed throughout the whole process. A good experience during tough times.
