Home Nation Reviews

Home Nation is a seller for multiple home manufacturers. I got two identical homes and this is the second one. The floor plan is just under 800 square feet. The kitchen is in the middle. There’s a little island with a sink. It’s nice for a trailer. But the quality seems to be lacking a little bit compared to the first home. The doors don't line up and the trim is falling off. I have four doors that do not work in the house and the front door does not lock. Home Nation must have had some bad guys there that day. It's unacceptable. Home Nation followed up and did everything they could, so it's not their problem that the quality of the house isn't what I expected.

The delivery of the home was a nightmare and a half but it wasn't Home Nation's fault. They hired a guy who has done installs for them before, but for whatever reason, when he came to my house, he did everything wrong. He dug the pier holes too shallow, didn't line them up very well, and didn't fill them full of concrete. He failed inspection and waited a week and then came out and dug the hole deeper. They're still wrong in every way they can be wrong as far as their placement goes. They didn't make them in straight lines. That's $3,000 that went into my loan they paid him. Then he delayed us three more weeks by coming up with excuses. He wasn't coming out to the house at all. Finally, their finance lady got in touch with somebody else and had somebody else come out to install the home. When they showed up, that's when they discovered that the foundation wouldn't work because the first guy put all the pier holes in the wrong spot.

Other than that, I've already recommended Home Nation to friends. They have lots of homes to choose from. I could call and tell them what I was looking for and they’d just send me an email with a list of homes that I can look at. When I click the link, it took me to their page and I could do a virtual walkthrough. Everything you need to know about it is right there and you can pick your options.

We dealt with three people. Nicole was the one that we talked to the most. She kept calling to check and see if we heard anything on the paperwork. She was excited to get us into a home. She was the one that was helping us get them moving. We would tell her something, and then she'd be like, “Okay. Let me see if I can email them real quick to see what's holding them up.” And then no sooner than she emails them, they already had it but didn't wanna share it with us. So, she's the one that pretty much dealt with Triad.

The whole homebuying experience only took us about six weeks. Then we had to wait for our home to be built, which took a little longer but it was because ours was being built in. It was supposed to be done around the 4th. Then people took time off for the 4th. So, we only got pushed back a little bit. I would recommend my friends to buy a home through Home Nation. Two did. They live in the same area we live in, and they were like, “How was it?” I was like, “It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.” I know how stressful it is to buy a house, and it was nowhere near that.

I was just buying a single wide mobile home at this point in time. I will be buying other ones in the future. I like to go with the 16-foot wide rather than the 14-foot wide because I'd like to give more value for the money I'm getting. I like to go with three-bedroom units. I like the split floor plan with the master bedroom down one end of the mobile and the other two bedrooms are down the other end. That eliminates a lot of wasted hall space to get to the bedroom. I like to give them more room in the mobile than they would get normally if you just have a mobile with a long hallway that’s useless.

The quality of the build leaves a little bit to be desired. In my estimation, you get the 2 x 4 walls on the outside, but the inside walls are 2 x 3s, which is not a problem. But the quality of the workmanship of the Champion Home that I got was not up to my standards because I'm top-notch. I like to give value for what I'm getting. I've been talking to Erin, the VP of sales, to get some of my things because I don't have a salesperson assigned to me right now. So, I'm getting some good results here. Home Nation's prices are very good. So, that's why I've already recommended one person to go with them. I think he'll be buying mobiles from there. He has a setup where he's gonna need about 10 of them, so that'll work out well.

I got a small two-bedroom home with two baths and I was able to upgrade everything the way I wanted. I got drywall in the house and I got a bigger shower. They brought the home to my house and I had a few issues when they got there and they worked my way through the issues. We couldn't get to a home on the pad that I made because of the way my property is set up, so I had to almost do it myself. But the guy stood around and he helped me out until I got the home exactly where I needed it to get it done. They did everything they could to make sure that I was satisfied when they left. I'm happy with the experience altogether.

At this point in time, my experience with Home Nation has been very good. However, I have some issues with a few things that need to be repaired and replaced on the unit. I'm working on that now and when I get into this needing some parts to repair the mobile home, if they don't do what they should do on that, then I'm gonna be upset about it. I expect Home Nation to help me get those parts from the factory. I don't mind paying a local repair man to do the work, but I don't wanna have to purchase the parts. The mobile home has a year's warranty on it. It should be good for everything.

Everything about the product has been great so far. We have a couple of issues we're dealing with the company with, but it's nothing major. I did send a message to the company about one concern yesterday and haven't heard back yet.

The entire home buying process took around 3-4 months, and I feel they need to take more responsibility for the delivery process. It's frustrating that they didn’t make it clear I would be responsible for every single thing after the purchase, including the delivery, setting up utilities, and permits. None of the utilities, like gas, water, or electricity, were hooked up yet because it's hard to find people in my area to do this.

I got a two-bedroom, two-bath, single-wide floor plan. While the home itself is alright, the delivery and overall experience were terrible. They never mentioned all the extra costs upfront, and I've ended up spending almost double the initial price trying to get everything sorted out. The guy just dropped the house where he wanted, and when I complained, Home Nation basically told me it wasn't their problem. I had to hire someone else to move the house to the right spot.

Be prepared for lots of extra costs if you go with Home Nation. I would rate my experience as a one if I had to rate it.

I chose a split floor plan because it has less hall space, which suits my needs. However, there was a considerable setback during the construction process. The first structure was damaged, and when rebuilt, it did not match the original plans given to the contractor. This caused a delay in setting up our home, which was rather frustrating.

The sales representative was great, and in terms of pricing and the product itself, I would rate them around a 4 out of 5. Despite the hiccups, we managed to make do and were generally pleased with the outcome, even though there was room for improvement regarding the initial construction issues.
