Pulte Homes Reviews in Fort Myers, FL

Overall the experience was good. Better communications from signing contract to final closing could be improved. I've learned a lot more of what to expect from owners.

We walked into the sales room for Corkscrew Estates and met Sales Rep Steve P that pretty much decided right then and there that we would be buying in Corkscrew Estates Of course there were facets of the properties that also sold us on buying there (lot size, no amenities etc). But back to Steve P he was so helpful full of knowledge and friendliness we went through the purchasing process without any problems. I’m not the most computer or tech savvy but Steve P was always willing and the most patiently to help us out therefore making the buying part very easy and also correctly done. In the end we did not feel were we dealing with a Sales Rep but rather a friend. Can’t say enough for LeRoy also for making sure all our warranty issues were taken care of immediately. ... More

Joe our salesman was very responsive to any questions or inquiries. And Jared our construction manager was on top of any questions or concerns that we had.

Our experience was great. Both Derek and Omar were a pleasure to work with. Overall we had a decent experience, only thing to keep in mind workers need to be a little more organized, less sloppy throughout the process with a bit more attention to detail. Also, cleanliness of the home before handling over to the homeowner should be a little bit better.

Workmanship is good considering the allowed materials. My complaints are regarding materials. Flat paint is bad. It cannot be washed. I would have rather been given an allowance for appliances because these are REALLY BASIC. Jered’s explanations of everything were very comprehensive. Any issues I reported to be addressed have been so far taken care of in a timely manner.

Dylan and Andrew were great to work with from start to finish.

The homes are well built but a bit close together and on the expensive side. That being said we are excited to be using our home next month.

* McKenzie in sales - PERFECT * Sebastian in Construction Project Management - PERFECT * Pulte Mortgage - Horrible experience. Worst ever. * Construction Quality - Very High * After close warranty effort - so far very good with few issues to deal with

Alex at Solis Grande was great to work with.. very responsive!!

Good experience and nice product.

For the most part it was a great experience, building here with Pulte. Everyone was great EXECPT dealing with Pulte mortgage.. They are the worst and ruined my home buying and build Looking back I would NEVER use them!!! .. Up until the day before they kept asking for the same things 3 and 4 times when they had it.. Had me running around during the whole process and again up until 2 days before the closing.. I was injured and disabled in the line of duty so it wasn't easy,( Not sayin boo-hoo for me ) I told them you have everything yet.. then threatened me a few times with.. if you don't resend this or that paperwork you will not close!!! The pressure was disgraceful AND UNNECESARY !!!.. Not happy at all with Pulte mortgage and they ways they worked, This is how you treat the disabled?!?!. ... More

Some Great: Pulte Title (Rose), Pulte River Hall (Amanda), Building crew manager (thank you Jared!), PROBLEM And Major Challenge: Pulte "back office" has their own schedule and for a cash sale on a Pulte Builder Spec Home ALREADY COMPLETED MONTHS PRIOR - they tried to put us into their "box" instead of expiditing when there is NO MORTGAGE , house "blessed" by construction & head of River Hall community, nor any other possible delays tried to make us wait with the rest & tried to delay our closing. THANK GOODNESS Amanda (River Hall), Rose (Pulte Title), Jared (Bldg mgr), Kyle (on site Pulte sales rep) and all the staff in the customer service "phone bank" that helped me get WORD to the "back office" to GET IT DONE OR THE SALE WOULD BE CANCELLED. Well everyone EXCEPT the back office was great to work with, there needs to be some differentiation or at least 1 person (there are MANY) in the "back office" of Pulte that could be devoted to buyers in my circumstances (cash & home ready to move in) that the 3 week agreement for us to close SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CHALLENGE and taken so much of my time & all the extra efforts (THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM!!!!) to get it closed. ...

I liked the interactive floorpan with measurements along with the furniture tools. This was helpful to plan for an unbuilt home. Seeing a model with furniture is also helpful. I feel like the home is solid/well built. The tile floor was done perfectly but the bathrooms are still being worked on. If I had to do it over again I would have chosen the tub shower route - the huge expensive walk in shower is not worth the money. There is no hand held shower, and it feels like a waste of space. I also thing the secondary bedrooms are small and the master closet and dining area are huge - space could be allocated better but overall it works. I did like the option to have the three car garage not be tandem and have the third bedroom with its own bath but it also feels like a totally separate pert of the house - could be good could be bad. I really wanted a fenced area for my dogs and thought I had that figured out - after closing and after the landscaping was already in, it became much harder. I would have done my pool differently. I think there could be more communication between the builder and the other entities that are brought in - pool folks, tech guys, etc. The tech guys are the most confusing as they have different people contacting me with different company names and their services and deposits are hard to keep straight. If I had seen the model with the fence around the pool with grassy area, I would have really liked that and would have just screened in the lanai. The upgrade items are pricey! Overall I am figuring things out and happy with the home. Would have felt better to go slower since we had so much time anyway. I ended up using Pulte Mortgage but it wasn't till the last minute that they offered a better deal than a competitor. Was stressful to have to gather all my updated documents at that point as I was packing to move. ... More

overall very happy with our Pukte home

The experience was overall very positive. A miscommunication and incorrect marketing material led to a disappointing omission from the home. Still waiting for restitution.

Had a good experience overall with Pulte in buying our new home.

Overall happy with our experience.

From day of closing we delt with Tommy. All Tommy was interested was for me to give a 10 on his evaluation. I did give him a 10. After living in the Villa I own I found a lot of issues, that should have been found. I myself am a Superintendent and working in the Commercial division on the east coast of Florida. So now that I’m only here on weekends I found a lot of issues the should have been found by Tommy. We’ve been helped by Gianni. He’s not only professional but he listens to these issues and has had them being resolve slowly but surely. Still in progress. I’d like to give Gianni that 10 for an evaluation. He’s sharp and knows what he’s doing. Thank you, Gianni. ... More

All in all the experience of buying a Pulte home was very easy. The workmanship is very good. When we did the walk-through, I was really pleased with how well everything was finished and detailed. I believe the process of working with the designer, at least in my case, could have gone a little smoother. I feel like, as an out of state home buyer, I Could’ve used more time

The house would be perfect but the drywalls finish as well as the paint are horrendous! Pulte response to issues is excellent but the drywalls are a disaster as well as the paint job!

The house was done on time and had very few issues. We love the house and the experience with Pulte.

Although there were some construction issues, as in most new homes, Pulte addressed them and corrected them promptly. The warranty team has also been proactive in promptly correcting any issues as well.

I'm disappointed in the quality of the workmanship. I bought a new home because I did not want to go through the renovation process. The quality of the workmanship has required me to contact Pulte for repairs. The longer I live here the more I see. It disappoints me to have to do this.

I think pulte prioritizes their build to sell over people coming in to build from scratch but that’s my real only gripe . The team I worked with to build my house especially my project manager Dylan was absolutely amazing. He always was very attentive and responsive almost immediately. Even now a couple things ( nothing wild ) have popped up and he still has been involved . Highly recommend their building team . Worth every penny .

Mitchel was super responsive to all our concerns and questions. Great job in building our home. Very detailed in all aspects of his work
