When we purchased the house we were sold a great story. BUT the truth comes out. No rain gutters on your home, keys to the elevator, let’s just say it’s not good like scary not good, mud piles under the carpet that they just layer carpet on it, nail strips under carpet at every door way not tapped down, major cuts on bare feet, the water that pours into your home every time it rains, hear me, Every time it rains, you have to squeegee your lower floor, or else water will turn into black mold, the 2 year old sidewalk is falling apart from the waterfall that flows over your door way every time it rains, the mulch lays scattered everywhere, homes look like pig pens out front.
We talked to company and I quote “not our problem” and this professional was a higher up boss. Water everywhere just about everyday! The back fence line filled with overspray, looks like a 12 year old painted the fence. Asked many times to have them come fix these issues via text, calls, emails, NO RESPONSE. None. Crazy thinking you say? They think because they don’t answer you they didn’t receive it. Judges think otherwise... I would not move in here. Period. Don’t do it. The sales team will lie, lie, lie, right down to not showing you a home when it rains unless it’s in the office building where get this, the GUTTERS are. Only building in the complex with gutters on it. Hmmm..
If you want issues, mold, rain, lumpy carpet, Elevator key major issue, I mean scary issue, this sickens me what I learned from elevator company, “it was cheaper”, this ring a bell LGI?! Believe me I know the truth, waterfalls over your front door, mulch scattered daily from waterfall, waterlines showing everywhere outside your front door, then buy here in New Port Richey Florida. Be prepared, I promise you it’s not good. Biggest mistake of my life. LGI, just because you don’t answer doesn’t mean you didn’t receive the message, it’s all logged. Simply unprofessional bullies.

When you go with a new build, everything is new and you have a warranty, which kinda adds a little financial security to the purchase. I really got in depth with LGI Homes. I went to the website. Back when the company was finishing up the developments in Winston, I started doing more research. My experience with my LGI home consultant went pretty well for the most part. There was a change because they're no longer at the office. I was in the dark a little bit due to COVID. But I did find myself in the dark sometimes in between processes, as far as just staying updated, with phone calls and the closing date. And about giving me a heads up on the next process, keeping me updated or helping me set the expectation on what's next, there was a little bit of breakdown with that.
My home consultant is very optimistic. I enjoyed her spirit. The only thing was getting the information as we move along in the process. There were a lot of times where she didn't have anything for me because she was waiting on an update herself. Then there were times where I didn't know whether to call her or the loan consultant regarding certain matters. But she’s always available through text and phone calls. Sometimes she's even texted me back at 11 o'clock at night at times.
I'm still settling into the house. There was a problem I had around the foundation. There was a crack in the concrete insulation. I would have liked to see the panel replaced, but they just filled it up instead of replacing that cracked piece of insulation. They just sealed it up. I would like to see that replaced because now it looks like my house has a sunken dip in the side of it towards the rear. I fussed about that thing throughout the whole process.
I was in my master bath. I noticed that somebody scratched the mirror. I don't know whether it was in the warehouse or during installation, but someone was smoking and there is a little burn on one of my countertops. I've been so busy trying to get this house so I can actually live in it. I haven't had time to really bring up my issues and concerns. My cellophane has a little tick to it. There are a couple cabinet hinges that are loose. I was gonna try and get a list, so I can address it all at one time. Other than that, the quality of the home's build is nice. I like the community. It's quiet. I love the diversity.
Hi Kevin, we appreciate your feedback on how we can improve communication throughout the process. Please submit any issues you find with the home to our warranty portal and our team will review them with you. We are glad that you are happy with the home and community overall - congratulations on your new home!

I was browsing on the internet when I saw LGI Homes. I read some of the reviews and I made a phone call. I spoke with a sales person, Tiana. She was so motivational, so I went on and decided to try it out. She helped me tremendously. She's straightforward. She'd tell you everything you need. She even motivated me when I was thinking about giving up. So, she does know her job. I really enjoy working with her. She's very good at what she does.
Everything went well with the process. Everything that Tiana told me and what I needed to have done were very precise. The office staff was great, friendly and they greet you well as you come in the door. The quality of my home is pretty good. I had some little situations going on with it. I have some problems out at my garage, and they said everything is a little backed up because of COVID. But other than that, everything else is okay. The amenities are good. As far as the community, it's kinda a little bit congested, but it's good and quiet. I will recommend LGI to people if they're looking for a first-time home buy.
Hi Nickie, we're thrilled that you enjoyed working with Tiana and that we were able to help guide you through the process. Congratulations on your new home!

I was looking at older houses and in the areas that I looked in Houston, there were none available. There were some but they didn't give me the look. There wasn’t the wow factor. I was riding one day and scrolling through Facebook and LGI Homes popped up. Alberto was so nice and it was hard to say no to him. He was extremely helpful and gave me the comfort in knowing that I would be taken care of. I love my home. I'm still kinda iffy about the area but the build, the quality and all of the things that my home gives me is comforting. I'm at home and it's my home. That's how I feel when I'm there.

LGI Homes is the best. I like the setup of the house, the location, and the space so I went with them. My rep was Angela and she was great. She helped a lot. She answered questions. Even if I'd send a message at 10 PM, she’d still respond. The quality of the home is amazing. My wife and I are loving it. We brought some friends over to come into the house and they really liked it. The amenities are really good too. We're still doing some touchups in the house but it feels great to have a house.
Hi Walter, thank you for the review! We are glad that you enjoyed working with Angela and are appreciating having your own home. Congratulations!

I bought a new house because I didn’t want the trouble of having to fix things right away. We’ve been here just a little over a year and we’ve had issues since the 2nd week of moving in. So the 2nd week of being here we assume our washer overflowed and flooded the upstairs. I say assume because we moved the washer to the garage and have not have a problem since. So during the time we were attempting to dry out our new house, we noticed that we were still getting a pool of water in the living room. The carpet had been stripped so there was only concrete floor remaining. Come to find out there was an issue with the siding that was allowing water to come in whenever it rained. So after going back and forth between LGI and our insurance company, we were finally able to get this fixed.
We were out of our brand new house for just under a month. Since then it’s been one thing after the next. Now the kitchen faucet is leaking water heavily from somewhere and is pooling water all on my counter top around the back of the sink and also under the cabinet. I have a big bowl there trying to catch water but it overflows after a few hours. I submitted a claim into LGI’s system on 9/2 and have heard absolutely nothing. This is what I was trying to avoid buying a new house but it seems I have purchased a $200k lemon.
Hi Kami, we appreciate your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the trouble you've ran into. We reached out to the local team and requested that someone gets in contact with you. We appreciate your patience as we do our best to resolve warranty items while keeping everyone's safety in mind.

LGI's zero down was a thing for me. I went with them because of that because I didn’t have the money to put a lot of money down at that time. As far as the home, the workmanship could've been a whole lot better. The work that has been done on the house could've been better because it needed to be redone. I have a door that leads to my garage that was damaged and they just still put it in. There are some things that need to be fixed like doors repainted from water drippings. In the bathroom, it's the same thing on the walls. I showed the superintendent and he said, “That's kinda normal.” But that's not normal. These are drippings on the walls from them putting too much paint on the walls. The purchasing process was nerve-racking. There was too much stuff that I had to go get, and then what was so bad about it is it would always be something else. Some things could've been streamlined more.
Hi Ronnie, we appreciate your feedback! Please be sure to file a warranty claim for any items that you feel should be repaired.

If I could give negative stars, I would. We were sold the “dream” of a re-do, re-start and do-over. What we got was mold infested floors, a major water leak through faulty back door, 2 weeks upon move-in. Now? They won’t work any warranty claims. At all. So, we’re left with severe mold and sealed up water drenched/soaked drywall at leak wall in the home. And, my health is affected greatly, as well as my poor cats. I’m horrified as I sit and contemplate foreclosure due to mold infestation and cost of remediation left on our own to figure out. In our brand new home? Really? Yes, brand new. It’s destroyed. Flooring, and the bashiQa drywall areas. Behind baseboards and mold into the home badly. They were not required to make it right. We were left to look at what we can prove!??? And, clean or removed‼️
Hi Sherrie, we are truly surprised to hear about the trouble you are having with your home. Every home passes several inspections before closing and this is not our typical experience. While we have paused most warranty work due to COVID-19, emergency work is still being conducted. If you have not already submitted a warranty claim through our online portal, please do so.

We passed by LGI Homes and the rep was very good. I got persuaded while I was talking to him since I was in the process of getting a resale house. Matt, the branch manager, was very helpful when he was holding the tour of the house and our orientation. That was very good for me because I didn't know anything about houses. Plus, he was very patient. The LGI home community is very simple and the amenities are fine.

My wife was researching different builders and companies, and she came across LGI. She then started doing the research. The rep was amazing and cool. He let us know upfront what to expect and everything went according to what he described to us as far as the process. I never felt like I was kept in the dark. I like everything about my new home. I came from an apartment and this is our first home. It was more space. I don't have anyone living above me or right under me. The home is still brand new to us and we've only been here a month. I haven't seen anything wrong. We’re still getting used to it and we’re still settling. We haven't had any chance to say that we wanna change anything and everything seems good at the moment.

I bought a house and I thought I was going with Veterans First. I thought that they were affiliated. I learned that they're not. I love that my LGI home is a new one. We’re the first ones in there. However, I gotta do some work on it. The thing that I don’t like about it is that the landscape is all full of holes in the back. I don't have enough backyard space. Then I gotta fix this lawn and make it flat. That’d make my backyard flat. My wife or anybody else cannot walk through there 'cause they might break their ankles.
Then when I first saw the house, I thought they didn’t put grout on the tiles. The guy said they did. But they didn't do it right. If one doesn’t grout the tiles the right way, in a very short time, it’s gonna start peeling, and that’s the adhesive. When buying adhesive that gotta add water to it, in a while, if one doesn’t grout it, it’s gonna start separating, and there are several separations in the tile. Also, the door to my bedroom didn’t lock. Little by little, I started seeing things that weren't brand new and I was trying to repair those. I don't know how many more surprises I'm gonna have.

We’ve lived in the neighborhood just away from LGI. We were looking out and we were driving down the road, and we found it just by looking. It was nice, so we got it. With the circumstances of COVID, the purchase process went smoothly. We liked the space, the flooring, the big front yard, the driveway, the kitchen patio set in the back, the big backyard and the tall ceilings. Everything was what we were looking for.

We worked with Ron. He was personable. He told us all about LGI Homes and showed us the properties. The quality is reasonable and that was one of the main reasons why we went with LGI. We like the layout of our home. We also like the neighborhood. Everything seems to be working fine. The contractor stopped by a day or two after we moved in and answered some questions and scheduled an appointment. One of the cupboard doors wasn't fitting properly and so he said the next time a cabinet guy came out, he would contact us. He did and he ordered two new doors for us already.

LGI Review (Stratford Monroe NC). LGI does not care about the people buying their homes. Salespeople are misleading prospective home buyers, and LGI as a whole is not making good on the things they say they would do. When me and my wife bought our first house we never thought we would be dealing with as many issues as we have. It has been a nightmare. The first supervisor told us on signing day that he scheduled someone to come out to fix some drywall they “messed up” beside our master shower and no one showed up. Next when our garage door fell apart, we were told by a different supervisor that they would be in touch with the framing company who used nails instead of screws to put up the door, and that never happened either. This was before COVID.
Since COVID we have noticed other things wrong with the house and have begun to put in warranty requests for them, but LGI is so backed up because they are not doing warranty work with the ongoing pandemic (understandable). They are however able to continue to build houses at a rapid rate and a pool big enough for 16 people (according to local code) for a 200+ home community (unacceptable). We currently have massive holes in our drywall upstairs and downstairs due to the fact that when the siding was put in the house the coolant line was punctured... Twice.
Thankfully Parks Heating & Air were able to come out to do the warranty work and send the bill to LGI. Also we are waiting to have an emergency repair done to our sliding door because when the flooring was installed, they managed to cut the door. We now have floorboards bulging, and water behind the wall, and are still waiting for a repair a month later. Once again I was told I would hear something soon, and have not.
LGI has proven time and time again that their commitment is to their pocketbooks and not their customers. Whether it is their misleading sales tactics, poor communication with the community, untimely repairs, or flat out doing the minimum, it is completely unacceptable. The only reason why I have not given them one star is because the people in the community are very active and care about their fellow neighbors, making Stratford a great place to live. LGI is the problem here. If you are a prospective home buyer, I urge you to ask questions to people you see in the neighborhood while you are coming through to look at houses. Our neighbors are extremely friendly and helpful people, and almost all have had similar experiences with LGI. Please talk to one of us before you buy from LGI.

I chose LGI because of the price. The sales rep and the guy I met with to do the walk-through were great but it took three weeks for LGI to finish the home. It was almost done when I saw it. We have issues with it because of the texture and paint. It is very sloppy craftsmanship. Plus, it is bare bones. It only had one ceiling fan in the master bedroom and one in the living room. The other three bedrooms didn't have a ceiling fan. Somebody would be coming out who is supposed to correct the issues. Being that they had COVID here, it has taken a little longer to get everything done but the work order is in force.

My wife and I both chose to go with a new build. It's better for us and anyhow you take it, you get more for your money in a new home. At the end of the day, you're the first person who's gonna live in that home and everything is gonna be up to standard. If you buy an older home, you don't know what happened to that home in the past years before you owned it. My wife heard about LGI Homes, probably from her mom who's buying a house also, and we've had a good experience with them.

We wanted a newer house but everything in our price range was just not new or just incredibly small. My sister-in-law took us and showed us that house from LGI Homes and it was exactly what we were looking for with the open floor plan and all the rooms upstairs. But they said a couple things that didn't actually happen. We were doing our final walkthrough. We noticed that at the side of the garage door, the motor was smashed and the cover was broken. We put in two tickets to have it fixed and no one called us. It'd be nice if they would call us on it 'cause it had been over a month. The consultant also told us we would have a blue tape walkthrough to fix any imperfections. But that, apparently, is not a thing. The quality of the build is great other than that garage door motor. And then everything else has been perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Also, the community is great and everyone around there is really cool. The neighbors are quiet.

Price was the main thing that we got home from LGI. I like their process ‘cause that they have the lender on-site like we can apply for the loan on-site. That was a good thing. I like the layout. It's spacious, only that one of the spare rooms is too little. When my daughter is going to be teenage, that will be an issue. Also, I was hoping the master closet was bigger. Ana-Maria, the home consultant, was great and very patient ‘cause with me, it took her a while. She knew when to address me or my husband. At first, when I came back in November 2019, I said that I didn't like it.

I was looking for builders, and I was looking specifically for a house that had a bedroom on the first floor with a full bath. LGI met our needs. Everything went smoothly during the purchase. We liked the open floor plan. It was mainly the bedroom and then the area is a walking area. We really like that it had walking trails and gardens.
They had to put in blinds, but one of them broke because the string is not that strong. You have to push them up and it's kinda hard because we have an elderly person that lives with us, and she can't pull them up. I understand houses sometimes don't come with that. But for some reason, they had to do it, and these were the ones that they chose. They could’ve done a little better. They're just not the kind of blinds that we like. Also, the window that’s over the stairs has no blinds. It’s really high up, but it's parallel to the bathroom. So, it's kind of uncomfortable. I didn't like that part. Even though I like the big window and I like the light, it needed something there.

We began our home search here in Colorado because we're still currently in Colorado. We were looking at a new build here and decided that we did not want the home again. We're told we should put money down, and it will be no problem. It would be completely fine in the event that we changed our mind because the home could be resold. So we did that. We tried then to terminate the contract, was told that we could not despite the paperwork that we signed to do as such. We’re military. So we got ordered to Georgia, and came across LGI again. We're like new people, “It'll be fine. Let's just try it.” So, we did. We were able to use the downpayment that we used here in Colorado, which I thought was very good. We already have invested money, so it was awesome that we didn't have to put down a downpayment again. That aspect of it was really good.
I did not love the LGI representative. I ended up having my own realtors, which thankfully I did, because I felt like there was a whole lot of disconnect. Compared to our home-buying process here in Colorado to the home-buying process in Georgia, I felt like I had to contact them. There was no weekly update. There was no scheduled walkthrough. And now, even though we have closed on the house on the 24th, there were still things that needed to be done. My realtor followed up today because we sent an email saying that we’re supposed to be done before we close. We walked through the house the day that we closed, and it still wasn't done yet. But the construction manager said that it will be done, but he didn't take notes. He remembered them, and so I feel like because of that, there were things that were missed.
One thing in particular, they thought that the ceiling was leaking from upstairs in one of the bathrooms. So, they went in to see what it was but it turned out, someone had just spilled water on the floor. It wasn't actually a leak. So, when they patched it, they only painted that one area of the ceiling, and so you could tell the difference in it. For me, moving in, I should not be able to walk into the dining room essentially, and see that big old spot that's discolored from the rest of the ceiling. It's an open concept so you can see the entire ceiling. It's like, “Oh, what’s that dark spot over there?” The fix was, “Once you put in your blinds, then you won't see the shadow.” That's not the answer. They should correct it because it's there. That wasn't done.
Also on the garage door, you have to hold the garage door button to close it. That has to be done when we get back, and that's fine. That's not a problem. But I didn't like that we weren't a part of the blue tape process. There was no blue tape process. We were just supposed to accept the house because they had multiple inspections as the house was going through each stage. So it was inspected and it was gonna be up to par. There were many things that were not up to par. I feel like a blue tape walkthrough could have alleviated those issues.
Here we are, two weeks after closing, those things still aren't done yet. When we went through a preferred lender, that was fine. We had absolutely no problems with that. I love the fact that the homeowners insurance is included, that the tax are included, all that thrown into an escrow. I don't have to worry about it. It's all included into my monthly mortgage payment. That’s amazing. I wish everybody did that.
The only thing is I expect to be able to walk into my brand new home and appreciate the fact that I did purchase a brand new home. It’s a new home for a reason, so it should already be prepared. I also felt like I had to constantly call them like, “How's it going? Is everything okay? Were you guys able to go out and do X, Y and Z? What is the status?" I'm out of state so I can't just drive by the house to see it. So I expected more communication. Aside from those things, I am excited to move. Once we get in there, hopefully we will have everything come corrected, and enjoy our brand new build. Overall, I love my house. We closed about 30 days out, and it closed on the day that they said that they will close. So those things, I appreciate. We didn’t have a back and forth.

An LGI house is very well-built and it's a great new home for someone that's just starting out. I would recommend them to anybody. We already had an older home and, at this stage of our life, we wanted a new home. We liked the style of the homes and then we liked what was put in them, especially as a spec home. They're built very nicely and now, we're happier. The one that did the walkthrough was awesome. It was G and he explained everything from the outside to the inside, every little detail. The representative that sold us the house was wonderful as well. We still talk to them today. We stop in there and visit.

A friend of mine bought an LGI Home in Colorado and referred me to them that way. The home consultant that I dealt with was fabulous and kept me up-to-date on the progress of the build. It was awesome. I haven't moved yet but from what I've seen, it looked fantastic. I got the full walk through, and it looked great. The whole process was way easier than I had even anticipated it being so. Everybody that I worked with was fantastic. So, from Charlotte, who essentially sold me the home, to loanDepot, to Miguel who walked me through the house, it was fantastic.

Looking in the area that I wanted to purchase a home through Zillow, particularly for USDA eligible properties so I could buy a home with 0% down, LGI was right there. The rep, John, was very friendly and professional. He stayed in touch throughout the whole process and we had great communication. We got a great-sized home and exactly what we wanted. The build has good quality too. However, I’m kinda disappointed in some of the ways that they cut expenses out for themselves. They only put a ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom. They only put a certain amount of sod down on the property. They didn't fully put sod down on the whole of my backyard. Part of it is just straw that they threw down, and it looks horrible. It screams cheap of them to me.

We went with LGI because of the price and the location, and they had a bit more of a backyard. The home having a warranty and everything being new were kind of reassuring because we don't really know where to starts to make repairs. However, we were told conflicting information a couple of times, and we ended up having an overall neutral to negative experience.
When I first called to schedule the LGI tour, I was asked how I heard about it and I told them I saw it on Zillow. We let them know that we were working with a real estate agent and we wanted to make sure that they get their commission because I found a real estate agent that has a pay back program. Part of the commission would come back to us to help us with getting ready at the new house and buying new things and whatever we needed. We were told there was no problem with them getting their commission then a couple days later, we got a call. They said they couldn't give my real estate agent commission because when they asked how did I hear about them, I said Zillow instead of the agent.
I did submit a request for feedback from them. The sales VP or someone called and said that because we didn't get that cash back from the real estate agent, a way that they may be able to kind of compromise is possibly to put grass in our backyard. That wouldn't give us the same value as the amount of money we lost. It would at least be something but we never heard anything again.
As far as the quality of the build, we've already started having issues. Lights kind of fell down a bit during the walkthrough. The dishwasher wasn't installed properly so it started spilling water everywhere. We've been here about a week and I have a maintenance request in already with four or five things, so it's a little frustrating. It kind of defeats our main purpose of buying a new house. Right now because of COVID, it's emergency only maintenance so the list just kinda sits until people are able to come in. But so far, they're all minor. The community seems nice and there's a park. There's construction going on, but that was expected. My only concern with that is that they blare music throughout the day.
Hi Teresa, we appreciate your feedback. We are glad our VP was able to get in touch with you to talk through the situation and offer a compromise. We are glad that the items you have found have only been minor and appreciate your understanding of our COVID policies. We hope that you enjoy your community and new home for many years!

I had done some research on LGI and they were the best way for me to go being a first time homeowner with low closing cost which is the reason why in the past I've hesitated to purchase a home. With the minimum 3.5% downpayment that usually most places require, LGI did help with not having to come up with too much money up front. Financially, it was the best thing for me at the moment. They communicated with me very well. If I had any questions, I asked and they answered clearly and enough for me to understand everything during the process. I didn't have any issues whatsoever with them.
Besides the home being brand new, I like the warranty that kicks in for about a year. It makes me feel a little more comfortable. I really like the space. The floor plan that I chose was the best one for me and for the future as well. The quality is good so far. I'm aware most houses are all built the same but I do like the finishing. I don't feel like anything was cheaply made. I do feel comfortable with the material that were used and how it looked.

My real estate agent found LGI. I know how cheap the houses are made, so that didn't impress me but it was affordable. I’m retired so I’m on a fixed income. There a few things I would design different in here, but besides that, it’s fine. I was living with my girlfriend and she more welcomed me and I had a good time there, but I felt like I was getting in the way.
My bedroom suite would not fit in. The master bedroom’s very small. A queen bed and a nightstand are all that could fit in there. The dresser’s in the other room. Also, there's really no good place for a kitchen table, but I'll find something that’ll fit. I got a China cabinet I gotta get out here. I hope my granddaughter's gonna take it.
I loved Tiana. She was absolutely fabulous, and me and her got along really well, but since I’ve moved in, I have heard nothing on the repairs that I put down on the page. My chimney guy cannot hook up my Xfinity because the line that runs through there is clogged up. I was talking to my neighbor last night and she said she talked to Grayson, who's our guy that takes care of things around here and the guy who walked me through the house. I went to the office this morning and I asked if they could get a hold of Grayson, and I was supposed to hear from him. I'm a little disappointed with the service after I bought the home. I moved in July 21st and I got an HD antenna, so I can have a few stations on the TV. I have a brand new computer, but I have no internet service and no TV service except for my HD antenna, which, thank God, is something. I was sitting here going crazy.
I know they kept the price low, but they didn't put any towel holders except in the downstairs half bath. I got two full baths upstairs without a hand-towel holder. I bought two, but I gotta get somebody to come over here and come in because I don't have electric drills to put them in with. I didn't notice it when I was looking through it.
Then my cabinets are two different colors and they said they would take care of it, but I haven't heard anything on that either. The corner one is darker than the front cabinets and you can see them about this time of day, but the rest of the day, you don't really notice it. The sun comes in the afternoon in the backside where the kitchen is, and that's when you really notice. It’s definitely two colors. It's darker in the corner and lighter than the rest of them. But I didn't care if they painted them. Also, I got a scratch on the mirror. They said they’d replace that, and I haven't heard anything on that. Apparently the cabinet makers on this one is not who they're using now because they had an issue with that.

We were renters and we had some dear kind neighbors who are like family to us in our old subdivision. They sprung LGI onto us one Friday evening and said that they bought a house. When we went and saw the new house, they got the master key to all the model homes. My husband and I went through all the homes and we fell madly in love with the one that we moved into. They gave us Sunny's phone number and we called her. We asked her if she could be available to speak with us and show us the house called The Leland. She said they had one left. We came on over and saw it. Right with her, she was part of the package. She was so sweet, kind, understanding and helpful. Then we got back into the office and we told her we were trying to figure out how to get out of our lease. She was very helpful in that. She said it's a Texas law that if you are buying a home, you're allowed to break your lease if you gave a 60-day notice.
We wrote a $1,000 check and put the deposit down on the house. The following Wednesday, we met with Heath, the mortgage financial gentleman. Once again, he was an asset to the company. He was very kind and polite. He got things done. He gave us a list of things to do. You have to have your finances in order and make sure what they ask you to bring, you bring. If you don't show up with the two-year pay stubs or if you don't show up with your financials, you get a little frustrated. But they tell you exactly what you need to know so follow instructions. The following week, they got us in even 3 days earlier than our closing date. We just finished moving in Sunday and we love the subdivision. We love the construction manager who came around and showed us the home before we moved in. We checked all the windows, all the appliances, all the numbers, and it was a very thorough and easy process.
This is my husband's first home and my second home. I've heard nightmares with people but this was a piece of cake. It was a great experience. They answered any other questions. Sunny and Heath have gone a little bit up and beyond since we've moved in. I have a cat and he used to run in our old streets for three years. Now we're in a new home, he's escaped twice. I've had to go into the drainage and get him out. I even called Sunny to make sure I wasn't breaking any rules for the subdivision, moving the plate. She immediately said, "Let me call Hunter. Let me get him over there and let him help you." He showed up within five minutes and helped.
The whole staff that LGI has at this community is exceptional. Another one of the sales representatives is our other neighbor. He's one, two houses down from us so that was a very big bonus that they have even some of their employees living in this subdivision. If you sold that house to that neighbor and that neighbor may be coming over your house every darn day knocking on your door, you wanna make sure that you're moving into a good place where the people you're selling the house to are very happy, just as happy as you are. That was a big bonus for us too. We're really happy we got the property and the land. We have a German Shepherd puppy and she runs and runs and runs and plays. We love our house and the experience. I've already recommended this community to two of my people at my office.

The first thing I would say is that LGI is 100,000 less compared to whatever builders are out here. That's a big difference. Number two is craftsmanship. They did a good job when they did the house, including the design. Three is the value of what I'm paying for. Everything is worth it. I have no problem with the buying part, but the customer service if something's wrong in the house is a problem. I work in a construction too, so I see what's up with things. The little stuff with the house has been a back and forth issue to where I want to get them fixed, but I have to find the supervisor to get it done.
From the walkthrough, I already got a problem with the landscape. It looked like there was a leak to where the landscaping is because I could see a water spot. That was resolved, but now, there's a dead plant and I’m not getting my answer. They text back, but it's like talking to the wall. There's also a problem with the painting on the side of the house outside. They said that it was because of the rain, but I know now I'm done fixing the backyard and we got all the gravel. Even if it rained, there’s not gonna be a problem.

The purchase process with LGI was absolutely terrible. I had to send stuff to their rep 10 times and my closing kept getting pushed. Finally, I got ahold of his manager and he said the rep didn’t know how to open up attachments and would never respond. To get a response, I would have to call the Realtor and have the Realtor call them. Also, I’m using a VA home loan. I have zero down. They said if I use it with them, they would give me a lower downpayment. Then, I found out they did an FHA instead of the VA. I ended up having to put 10,000 down. They said my interest rate is lower and I would pay less for the loan. But I found out a week after I closed that that was a lie. I paid more using LGI and got the crappier insurance with them.
They lied every step of the way. I went through the house when the builder walked through 14 days before I moved in and they told me all the issues will be fixed. I put blue tape on the walls for all the paint mess-ups and the holes. I moved in 14 days later and the blue tape is still sitting there, nothing's been touched. The kitchen sink doesn't work. I had to hire a plumber to come out and fix it, to find out that they got the hot and the cold backwards, and they completely capped off the cold, but it wasn't ever gonna work. Then, I had to replace the dishwasher because the dishwasher would never turn on. It had no power. There was an electrical code issue that I had to hire an electrician for. Also, half of the lights they put in don't work. The builder keeps saying he would fix things. I keep putting in tickets and he never comes out.
There are holes in the vinyl that won't be warrantied out and they were in there before I moved in. Now, half the kitchen floor is peeling up. And the AC doesn't work and it's 100 degrees down here. I've been waiting for over a month for them to fix it because it's $5,000 for an outside person. Also, the siding on the house is broken. They had guys come out and mow and they were shooting rocks. One cracked my window. The foundation is crumbling right outside the sliding glass door. Then, when we were trying to build a fence, we found out they built the house on an easement and the city is telling me that I have to tear up part of my house because of that. The garage, the kitchen, and the dining room will have to be completely removed.
Six different people have backed out of buying the house beside me because I showed them all the issues and how LGI has done it and I'm gonna continue to do that. Every time somebody comes to look at one of these vacant houses, I'm gonna let them know how bad my experience was and I'm not the only one. All my neighbors are this way. I'm on the verge of suing LGI Homes because of these warranty issues. It's absolutely terrible. I am looking to put this on the market as soon as possible and I will never ever, ever buy a house from them again.

A lot of these houses are built in the '60s or '70s. They aren't updated and it's already the best price for a house that's 1,100 or 1,200 square feet. I was on Zillow and from looking, I found out about LGI Homes. I went with a new build as it's in the area of what you get as far as square footage and the person I worked with at LGI was Leo. He was good. He answered or got someone that could answer whatever question I had, but once we went into the process, I didn't know what to expect or what the next step was. Being a first time homebuyer, I didn't know the process, so there was confusion a few times, but not that it wasn't explained well. That could be done better though, by providing a breakdown of the steps following the financial process or once you get into that.
It took a while to finalize because we picked the spot before April and then we didn't close until the end of June. Other than that, everything went good. I work in construction so I know that what I have is a starter home. They're like tract homes. They all go up quickly and the same and there are differences in this and that in some of the higher end builders, but it's nothing drastic. The only thing I was not a huge fan of is the vinyl flooring, the stick down flooring. It gets messed up really easily. It's cheap and I know it costs more money to do the clip together (laminate stuff). It looks like wood. It looks the same, but that stuff's a little more durable and it doesn't peel off. This one is like a sticker. Still, I like the home and I'm happy with the community as well.

At first, I went in looking for four bedrooms, and the rep of LGI Homes asked me why I wanted a four-bedroom. I said I wanted to turn one of the rooms into a family room, like a den. That was when he introduced me to the Avery plan, which has a loft that works out perfectly. Everyone there was so nice. They are great people and I loved working with them. They helped me.
I will recommend anyone to LGI Homes and I'm already telling friends. They help you through everything. You didn't have to do much work. They're also patient. I'm not computer-savvy, so the rep helped me a lot of times getting my paperwork through and coming over there to the office. She stopped what she was doing to help me.
One thing I didn't like was that they never mentioned that the floor is not wood. It's linoleum. I went to move my refrigerator, 'cause I was gonna switch my refrigerator out with the refrigerator that I have. When I went to move that refrigerator, it tore my floor in the kitchen. I already have tears that I don't even know where it's coming from in my entryway as well. I told their rep and he said he was gonna come and see if he can fix it or find out if they can fix it or give me a deal on fixing it. But I'm already looking into seeing if I can just get a wood snap down here, 'cause they're not big areas. But I would appreciate it and I never have a problem with any other thing. I love my home.

Overall, the customer service of LGI was good. We went through another Realtor who was also helping us along with my niece. They worked with the LGI team and things went smoothly, even though, it took some time because of communication. But overall, the process was good.

I really wanted a new construction house and LGI Homes had some good options. They were highly rated too. The price point was there as well. So, that was another influence on my decision to go with LGI. I looked at some other builders as well, but I did my background research. Ultimately, I just felt the most comfortable with LGI.
They did a wonderful job. The build quality is great. I've got granite countertops. I've got everything that was provided. It's not particle board. They really put good quality insulations inside the house. They used top quality stuff. I was pleasantly surprised. They didn't just slap it together and be like, "Oh, here. Give us your money." The neighborhood's incredibly quiet as well. I've got a pond on one side and on the other side, I've got a woodline in the backyard. On the other side of my house, I have a neighbor, but they are very quiet. There have been absolutely no issues. I've definitely had a very good experience with LGI Homes. For me, they've been absolutely amazing. I would recommend anybody that's trying to buy a house, to go through LGI.

I tried to purchase a home with them back years ago. But I got into a car accident and I lost my job so I couldn't go further with getting a house. Seven years later, I remembered about LGI and I saw that they were building one in Magnolia and I jumped on that so I didn't have to change my kid’s school. Their customer service was perfect. Everything was great. The only thing was I got to find out my closing date only about five days before. I would have liked to have known maybe about two weeks before, but it all worked out in the end. They tried their hardest to make it there. I loved that I have a covered back porch. The only thing that I wish that could have been changed is my backyard. It is at a slope and I'm gonna have to come in and try to get it leveled out.

We stumbled upon LGI Homes. They had some signage in our town. We live out in El Reno and so we followed the signs and found the house. We were looking at a few different brand new homes. Ralph Coleman is also building a new housing addition and the main reason we decided to choose LGI is one, the location. It's right out by our lake, which is amazing. Two, the square footage that we could get for the price. Even though it doesn't have all of the upgraded amenities, the square footage was amazing for the price.
They're amazing. I loved Kristen. She's the office manager at the one that we went through. Taylor was our Realtor. Both were super nice and super helpful. Keith, the regional manager, came out and met us when we had an issue with our cabinets and made sure that they all got replaced before we moved in. Everything we could ask for. They were great. However, the craftsmanship has not been as great as we thought it would be. For instance, we had this spot in the yard. The grass kept dying. My husband finally dug it up and there was all this mortar and brick underneath it. Then, we did have an issue with the cabinets. Whenever we were going through the building process, one of the windows never closed, so they had to come in, take the brick off the back of the house and rebrick it.
They were very great about fixing anything that is our concern. However, the fact that we have to be the one to find it and bring it to their attention is a little disconcerting sometimes. Right now, the only issue that we have with the home is that on one side of our house, the water doesn't drain. There's standing water between us and our neighbor, which there's no one that lives in that house yet, but we told the maintenance manager out there, and he assured us that they're gonna fix it. But we've lived in the house now for a little over a month, and there hasn't been any movement to fix it. So, the maintenance, that side of it, I'm not as pleased with as the customer service side of things. But everything that we find, they're more than willing to fix it.

The LGI salesman, Neil, was fantastic. He was very persistent with the finance team and seemed like he was really on top of stuff.

Also, I love the house, the master bath, and the master bedroom, although the kitchen could have some more cabinets.
I don’t have a home issue but the ants in the neighborhood are unreal. We had terminators out and we dusted around the outside of the house but we still have ants coming in. They've ruined a couple of hundred dollars worth of stuff in the pantry already. I have another terminator coming out. There's a community Facebook page and people are just all complaining about the ants. Other than that, all the things that were seen on the final walkthrough have been fixed.

We ended up finding LGI Homes through our Realtor. This was originally a home that we weren't planning on seeing but it was in our neighborhood. We liked it, so we ended up checking out. We walked in, and we were just really impressed from the house from top to bottom when we first got here. They're pretty good. There were just some small back-and-forths with having to get some dead trees removed from the backyard and took a little bit longer than we were really used to. It took a lot of back-and-forths between our Realtor and LGI.
Then, there were a couple small things from the initial home inspection that took a while for us to get resolved. There's even one of them we're still waiting on getting resolved. But Taylor, the rep, was a really great guy. I really appreciate everything that he was doing. A lot of that friction came once the Coronavirus hit. There was a problem with LGI's preferred lender, and they became a really drawn out closing process, which contributed to some things, either getting overlooked or getting pushed to the side.
In terms of the community, this is one that we had heard about and we really liked. It's in Mimosa Bay. We really enjoyed the gated community and the setup of the community. It wasn't like other new-built neighborhoods wherein a lot of the other ones, the roads were pretty straight and you can really see that all the new-built homes looked pretty much the same on a long street, and it wasn't very a mature neighborhood. But this one, the roads definitely helped masked it as more of a new-built neighborhood. As for the home itself, we really liked the kitchen and the open floor plan in the main area with still separate dining room. The kitchen was a huge selling feature for us as well.

I was living in Florida and I wanted to relocate to North Carolina in the Raleigh area. I've used an LGI development near me in Florida. They gave less land there but I could see what the house was like. I drove up here and they were giving the inducement of paying most of the closing costs. That was a big factor in deciding LGI over another builder. The only negative I had was we had trouble getting an appraisal. They got a lowball appraisal from the appraisal person and they were waiting for an additional house to close to get me in. But they had my money the whole time. They let the lender have my cash from April 9th. And I thought I was closing in the middle of April. I sent 20% down to the lender and wired the money but I didn't close until the middle of May. It was almost six weeks in hotels and it took a big cut on my budget.
The salespeople were very nice and the office manager was helpful. They did not expect the lowball appraisal. But the fact that it took so long, I felt that LGI should have helped me out a little better. And they didn't divulge how low that appraisal was. I paid 218 for the house, which I think is a fair price, but I would have appreciated some help with the hotel.
Also, they did not put in the bank of vertical shelving in the master closet. So I'm waiting for them to install that. And when Best Buy installed my washer dryer, I had a leak into the master closet. LGI was very helpful. They got on to it right away to make sure it wasn't them. I had a little leaking onto the kitchen sink, which was the LGI’s plumber’s fault, and they fixed that. The plumber took off part of the drywall which LGI said they would take care of for me and Best Buy will pay for the damaged carpet because we ascertained it was simply the connection. They had not connected the fittings to the washer correctly. I'm at the stage where the carpet has been paid to be taken out and re-installed. Other than that, I like the house. It's a good value and it's built nicely. The aspect of paying for most of the closing costs is reasonable.

A friend of mine bought a home as well at a different location, and after he told me, I waited for a month then I drove around to all of the areas that LGI Homes had. I then went online and requested some information. The Realtor who worked with me, he called me, emailed me right away and just started a conversation about it. He took his time with me and he was patient on showing me the homes. Throughout the whole process, it was just very smooth. However, it looks like the fencing on the house was put up really quick and a lot of the boards weren’t even nailed down, which I already took care of it.
Sometimes when they move quick, they tend to miss things. It's common, but it was just attention to detail on the finished product. Still, this is my first home to buy, and the customer service was incredible. I was waiting for the horror stories that everybody talks about (the whole process and everything on buying a home), but I can't say one bad thing about the whole process.

My brother was looking for an investment property and when we drove by the neighborhood, we found LGI Homes. He ended up not buying the property and I did. We lived just three miles from here, so we were already set in this area. They were thorough in their initial presentation and answered most of our questions before we asked them. It was easy and you can't know everything, but there were some things the salespeople didn’t know about. For example, I didn’t have a mailbox for the first month that I moved in, and I got called into a bit of a contest between the developer and the builder. That wasn’t okay for me as a homeowner because I was chasing things around and it took me a lot of time. Once everybody got their ducks in a row though, they were very quick to give me the mailbox.
I'm not angry about it, but that could have gone a lot better. It would be nice if the salespeople could find out more, like what the developers are going to be doing on the other side of the property, to give people more information and make a better decision. Other than that, I'm also a Realtor, and I look at a lot of what's being built around here. To get the same amount of space or better, I would have had to spend another $30,000, so I think it's a great value. We have had some issues with our walls here, which they're planning to fix, but that was due to a bad contactor that they got. That happens. Now, I've sold another home in the neighborhood as well.

On Zillow, there was a new construction home. It was on Violet Lane and sketches are all that it showed on the internet and Google, but there were way more homes than what the internet showed. We heard about LGI and the two main qualities that we loved about them were definitely the neighborhood and the price. The price was great, but unfortunately, we didn’t get to lock it in the first time we went. It went up a little bit because, every third quarter, it goes up. Also, the process started off great, but then from there, it turned into a nightmare. I never got any updates from the person that was helping me. My lender took off on vacation and didn’t tell anybody, so we ended up moving in about almost a month after I was promised to be moved in.
I was supposed to sell my house, then I was supposed to move in the next day. That didn’t work and I ended up having to pay a lease back and all kinds of other fees that came out of my pocket. The service was absolutely horrible. I had buyer’s remorse like crazy and it was extremely difficult, but I stuck with it because I needed a new home, period. Towards the very end (almost a week before closing), we had a huge meeting with the guy that was supposed to be helping me, his manager, the lender, and my realtor. We had a big old phone conversation and got everything straightened out. From there on, day by day, I was informed. Apart from that, the home makes me extremely happy. The spacings are huge. We got the biggest plan that they had for the price, which was the Osage.

When we interacted with the rep, it was all good. Jessica was always there whenever we had a question. Even if she didn’t have the answer, she would try and figure it out. However, when you do construction, sometimes there’s a whole miscommunication. With the pandemic, half of my boyfriend's job is working from home and knowing that, we asked LGI about the Wi-Fi beforehand. They originally told us that the lines were already buried before we moved in.
They told us that it was with Comcast and AT&T, and now, apparently the lines aren’t buried at all. Windstream told us that we should get a lawyer if we want to because they were supposed to have the lines buried before even construction started. My friend also said that it took her a year to get any kind of Wi-Fi, so we’re in a huge bind right now. We’ve also walked by the amenities but they’re still closed for the whole year apparently and everyone has been upset about it because we’re still paying our dues. Besides that, everything else was good. I love the home.

But I've also bought a starter home twelve years ago, and the quality of the LGI Home is much better. I've had some minor issues prior to closing and one or two after, but they’re minor. It’s in a small community and that’s one of the reasons why I bought here. It’s one of the only places where you can actually get a decent piece of land.

The combination of the price, the builder incentives, and the amount of home that we were getting for the money led us to choosing LGI Homes. We were shopping for a new home or an older build in the Sacramento area. We were looking at some new construction nearby, and I had seen an ad for LGI online. I said, "While we're out here, I wanna go over here and check these out.” When we found LGI, with what we could get for the same amount of money compared to what we could get in Sacramento at a used home, it just made so much more sense to go with a new one. We knew that when we moved in, we would have no problems, that we had the warranty on all of the construction. We’ll have a brand-new roof, furnace, all of that. No mold, too.
We met with the Realtor, Steve, and it was super easy. They had three options of the one-story I wanted. We started with the smallest one and then worked our way up. The smallest one was too small. The middle one, we were going, "This might work." We saw the larger one and we wanted to go back and look at the middle again but we were like, "No, we're definitely going with the larger one." One of the things with LGI is that you don't have the options to upgrade. What you see is what you get, and that actually helped. They didn't even have models. It was like the home that you look at is what you're buying. It made the purchase really easy. No hassle, no negotiations. There is a base price and then you add cost for everything that you want. Although, there were a couple of things I would've liked to have differently that I can do myself. For example, the carpet in the hallway, I would've preferred flooring.
Our home was sold before and it fell out of escrow, so it was pretty much built. There were a couple of minor things that needed to still be touched. But by the time we were ready to close, which was in less than 30 days, it was ready for us to move in. We've only been here for two weeks but so far, it's been great. We haven't seen any major flaws in the build. There's always a few minor things here and there but Ron, the construction manager, has been real responsive and came and touched up a couple of things.
I really like the wide streets. There are sidewalks, too. We both love how quiet it is here and where it's at. I’m not crazy about the bugs, though. We're not far from some rice fields and we didn't think about that when we bought. The bugs at night are really bad. But obviously that's not LGI's fault. We like to go out for a walk or a bike ride and the neighborhood itself is great for those. We're an exit away from the nearest town and about 30 minutes away from Sacramento. There are amenities available and I'm fine with that. It's a very low crime rate and there's nobody here but the people who live here. My insurance rates are low because of that.
I work from home, and I love being here and how spacious, light, airy and totally relaxing it is here. We came from an apartment complex, and being in a home, it's just quiet. There's no music next door and nobody's running the vacuum upstairs. As far as our lifestyle being at home, it's just been blissful really. I tried to get both of my girls to buy. I was like, "They still have homes for sale."
Hi Brenda, thank you for the review! We do believe our homes are a great value and are glad that you agree. There are several benefits of owning your home over living in an apartment and we are thrilled that you are enjoying them. Congratulations on your new home!

I was looking at houses in the Arlington area. I wasn't finding what I was looking for and the houses were being snapped up before I could even make a decision. My real estate agent put me in touch with Monica at LGI Homes and they did a financial comparison. I realized that was a better route to go. Monica was wonderful. She was my original rep. She called me weekly 'cause I purchased a home in December. But because of trying to get the building permits 'cause of the Coronavirus, I wasn't able to move in. But at any rate, she was wonderful. She kept me posted every week. If I had any questions and she wasn't available, she always got back to me, sometimes on the weekend. I've always been able to go to her. She got a promotion and she deserved it.
I was turned over to a guy named Eddie, and what a difference. I know he did some stuff but he never called me or kept me informed. If I had a problem, I never knew what the solution was. And then, if I talked to anybody else in the office, they laughed a lot and they just disrespected me. They didn't take me seriously. If Monica couldn't do anything about it, she would call somebody that could. But I called Monica and asked, even though it wasn't her position, could she be with me at the signing and she said yes.
The biggest problem that I had is that after I had signed the paperwork and at the closing, the concierge with my real estate has been trying to get the electric meter turned into my name, and just was told time and time again that it was a business meter and they couldn't have it turned over onto my name. The rep tried it weeks before the closing, and then he tried after the closing. I spent hours on the phone before I could find out what the problem was, and also because Eddie, the guy that was supposed to find out what was going on, the only thing he said is, "There's nothing I can do about it."
What happened was they had taken out all the meters on my whole street. It's all new, but they hadn't taken out mine. When I explained that to Eddie, he sent somebody out to take a picture. But I got disrespected by that guy, and he said, "I won't even show Eddie the picture, then. I can't help you.” He just laughed at me. When I finally got to the bottom of it and explained to Eddie what the issue was, the switch got turned on. But I went 24 hours without air conditioning in the heat. They didn't come out when it all of a sudden turned on. When I asked Eddie when the business meter was gonna be removed, he said next week. Next week came and it wasn't removed.
I called Monica and said, "What do I need to do to get rid of this business meter? They disconnected my neighbor, but not me." She was at the hospital. Her mother-in-law had a stroke. She said, "Let me get on that. I will find out and I'll call you tomorrow morning," which was Saturday. She found out what the issue was but Eddie had already promised me it was gonna be last week again. So, two weeks in a row and he promised me. When Monica finally got back to me, she said that they have a work order in but it just hasn't been done and it's still there.
I couldn't ask for anyone better than Monica. I can't say enough good stuff about her, but I can't say enough bad stuff about the guys that were left in the office. Obviously, the quality is like night and day between her and the other salespeople. When I was on the phone one time, I heard someone in the background saying, "Just hang up on her." And I said to him, "Who is telling you that?" And it was the same guy that took the picture. He wouldn't tell me his name. I said, "Man up. I'm asking you what that guy's name is," but he still won’t tell me.
The home is a little cheaply made. I didn't even think to look to see if there were gutters and I don't have any. Nobody does. I thought that would be a standard. Your roof's gonna rot if you don't have gutters. What I've done is I've filled in for what wasn't there. Of course, I didn't get to pick out colors and stuff like that. But I like the house. I made the right decision for the finances that I had. I didn't go for a loan. I paid for the house. Somehow, I might've gotten quality service, but I certainly didn't. But at any rate, except for the customer service, I would recommend LGI Homes.
Hi Sandra, thank you for taking the time to review us. We agree - Monica definitely deserved her promotion and we are excited that you enjoyed working with her. We apologize for the trouble with the meter delay, but are glad it got sorted out. We are glad that you feel that you overall made the right decision for you. Congratulations on your new home!

I was living in an apartment and I was tired of renting. I realized I can spend the same amount of money investing in a home. Half of my apartment was released and we were looking at preowned homes but they were just not in good condition. Also, if I buy that home, I was gonna be spending money on roof, appliances, flooring. So, we looked at new-build homes and LGI got our attention. If you get a new house, no one has lived in it before. You know the roof is gonna be fine for 10 years, and the appliances and the flooring are gonna be good, which was why we kinda chose new build. The house took five months and they actually got it four days before the closing date. The reps gave me updates a couple of weeks when my house was being done, so the communication was good.
There were some touch-up paint that I did, but that was fine. I can do that stuff. The carpet is not good quality but it’ll work for a couple years. We live on a farm with cows and we kinda get the manure smell so that kinda bothers me a little bit but it goes away. With all these buildings going on, it’s probably gonna go away pretty soon. So, overall, the community is good. LGI is building a lot of homes out here.

I have been house hunting and it was getting a little aggravating ‘cause we’ll see a house and before we put a bid on it, somebody already took it. Joshua was the rep that when I got to the LGI Homes office. He explained to us the process, and it seemed so simplified that I found it hard to believe. Then he showed us the property, punched the numbers in front of us and let us talk in private. We made a decision to go forward with it.
Going through the whole process, he kept informing me of the updates and I was able to see how much the process was going in different stages. Once the doors and the windows were up, we were welcome to come any time to pick up the key, spend whatever time we want in the home and take pictures. It was an awesome experience.
I love our home. Right now, the builder, Adams, are building next to me. The only thing that they have that is solid is the foundation. Everything else is just wood. Our whole structure is in cement. Joshua explained to us how in different sections of the home there’s more structure with rebars of iron all around the home. We know when a storm comes we’re gonna be okay. We live in Florida and we get a lot of hurricanes so I felt confident about the quality and the structure of the home.
The last time I went to an LGI place they have bought the whole community and they started building all LGI Homes. But the community I live in now bought the lot. The only problem that I’m having is, the next-door neighbor, he burns his grass or whatever he cuts from the yard instead of putting it in a bag. The burning catches our side and my husband told me that’s illegal in Florida. He was the only one in that corner where his house is. The lot where they’re building next to mine was always empty so he had the privilege of doing whatever he wanted. Also, me and my husband work early but he puts his music loud when it’s Sunday night.
But as far as the home and its quality, we’re very satisfied. I’ve talked to a few people that I know already and told them about it. I have a friend who’s been buying for a while and every time, it's the same experience. He puts an offer but by the time he gets home it’s gone. I keep telling him, “You need to just go brand new. You have no worries about anything and the process is so easy. It’s not stressful at all.” Through the whole process, there was no pressure on us to buy at all. Every decision was important to us. Everything was very smooth and we were in control of everything. It went really good with LGI Homes. At the end it got a little complicated, but everything went through.

I was initially looking over at KB Homes and they were like, “Prices start here,” but then they have 30,000 extra in upgrades if you want specific things. LGI was in the same neighborhood and I went to them. One thing I really liked is the fact I didn’t really have options to choose from. It was kind of explained to me how you buy everything in bulk. You kinda get like the cookie-cutter house with everything being the same on the inside but it saves costs.
It was nice that it was standard with the marble. I also really like the counters and the cabinets, like the colors, as well as the carpet and the linoleum. But there are gonna be stuff I’m gonna upgrade myself instead of like, “In every room come with a ceiling fan,” but they're not necessarily the ceilings fans that I want. It’s kinda nice that I could go out and pick and choose the ceiling fan that I want instead of having to pay for it upfront like as an option. Everything was good. There were a couple of issues here and there when I moved in. But with the quickness that the house was put up, it was kind of understandable. LGI handled it and got it all taken care of. I’m very satisfied. My sales rep was awesome too.

I went online and looked LGI Homes up and then found out where they were located. The next time I was down in North Carolina, I stopped in and Sam showed me the various models. We looked at a lot that I liked and that was it. As far as the build of the house, I got what I paid for. I didn't expect any more than that. I'm 75 and at this time of my life, I wasn't concerned about it lasting for 20 or 30 years. I just want something that was economical. It allowed me to buy without acquiring any debt.
Paying cash makes a big difference as far as the process is concerned. They did tell me they would have the house ready by April 22nd which they did. I had a couple of little issues but they were not big issues. The ceiling popped out of where they were. A couple of times, the construction manager came around and he fixed them. So that problem is gone. They couldn't have done any more because they didn't advertise the homes as being anything but a good buy for the money.

We pulled out of our contract with this other builder 'cause the building quality that they were doing was not where we wanted it to be. Then the house that LGI Homes had, the close dates were conducive and worked into our schedule so we went with them. Their home consultant was okay. I bought a lot of houses and LGI Homes could have been more interactive. They were a little less interactive with keeping in touch with what was going on. The mortgage person from the other builder was a lot more interactive and kept us informed. We really didn't get that from LGI Home's lender.
The home is in a nice little community. But there are probably better places you can go to get a home. There were a lot of perks to LGI, but there are a lot of other things that just didn’t get done that could have been done. There were a few things on the house that I noticed that wasn't taken care of the way that LGI Homes should have by the superintendent. The front door got a hole put in it. Somebody had punched a hole from the inside. They patched it and did that and didn’t take care of it. One of the stair treads got broken. The guy who replaced the stair tread cut it in half and moved the one piece from one side over to the side and then put a new piece on the other instead of just putting a new piece in. You can actually feel that under there.
I had pictures and brought it to LGI Home's attention. But it just seemed like it didn't matter to them since this was a spec house. Their care for the quality of the house they produce is that they are just doing their job. They really need to step up their customer service side of it. If I was a new consumer, I probably would have been disappointed because I wouldn’t have been felt like I wasn’t important. Walking into it, knowing the process and everything else, not being my first house, I knew what to expect more or less. Overall, LGI Homes wouldn’t be on my first choice to tell somebody to go to.

Tina, our home consultant was good. I asked them how the house comes as far as blinds, screens and glass doors and she informed me to go to the website. When I went to the website, the website didn't say anything. There are only blinds on the first two rooms and there's no screen in the sliding door. It was something that I wish I knew. They pride themself on being affordable. By affordable it means that there are some things they don't do by not putting blinds on all the rooms and by not putting up a peephole. They were saying a lot of the new doors don't come with peepholes and they have to be custom-made.
I want a screen to the sliding door. I’m here at the Home Depot to see how much they’re gonna cost me to put one in myself or to pay somebody to put it in. Hopefully, the same people at Home Depot will put it in as well. The screen door is $100 and for them to do it is probably gonna be $150. That's more than the glass door and they end up being more money than the price of the screen door. Also, I feel like the HOA is a waste of my money. I have voiced it multiple times and I still feel the same way. But other than that, the community is great. They still have so much to do in the neighborhood. They have multiple lots and they have gotten 25% down.

You could see some beams that were quite bent. I’m not sure why it didn't occur to the person that put the drywall in the first place that it was not straight at all.

LGI was just something I looked up one day a couple of years ago and they popped up. I visited it and saw what they had to offer.

I fixed my credit up as much as possible and they gave me an opportunity and it was awesome. I’m blessed, especially in this time, to have a home.
Jose, the person who helped me initially, walked me through everything. Pretty good details when I did my first walk through. Explained to me what I needed to do to get the loan that I wanted to get accomplished. He communicated with me every time I needed him. Everybody was good. It was a lot easier process than I thought it would be because this was my first home. Especially with the programs that they offer and me not having to have a lot of money for a downpayment and closing costs, it was probably the best situation possible.
I liked that LGi offered a brand new home. It's a bit different from designing your own home, but being able to be a part of the process of going there and seeing your house built and having constant communication with them, and that you can go into their office and you are someone that has rented for 10, 12 years, 5 years, 1 year and you see the things that they can offer and what it takes for you to get into the position to take advantage of those offers, it’s not difficult. So, it’s something that I wish a lot more people that are in apartments would think about how they would budget their money. Because before, if I was going to move to another apartment. I was paying $1,600 for a two-bedroom apartment and I paid the landlord who I rented it from 3/4 of her loan on that place.
I like the community - the quietness, the view of where I’m at, the ridge—orange groves all around is something that I’ve been familiar with, living in Florida for a long time. So, I like it a lot.

She was really knowledgeable. Aside from call, she sent us texts and emails. Everybody at LGI Homes was pretty straightforward, like the mortgage person who let us know what they're doing along the way.
Our home is amazing. We like everything but mostly the kitchen. It's our favorite part, that's why we took this floor plan. We had to wait a little while longer till they started building this model again but that was okay because we really wanted this one. We like the community, too. It's really quiet and everybody is a homeowner, which is a good thing.
Hi Michelle, thank you for the review. We're glad that Rebecca got back in touch with you and we were able to help you become a homeowner. Congratulations on your new home!

We did a walkthrough of an already built townhome unit that they had. I enjoyed the area and I liked the property and the construction design. So it seemed like a good fit for me. They're still doing some constructions in the community, but it's nice to see that they're still building up and adding to it. I enjoyed the amenities. The lack of customization was something different, but at the same time, there wasn’t anything that I wasn’t getting that I wanted. So anything that I want to customize or add, I'll just gonna do that down the road. But it wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. In some places or builders, to add customization was gonna be an upcharge. So for what I was getting for the price, it was still a good deal.
LGI has been pretty responsive for the most part. I have noticed a couple of issues or missteps since moving in, but they’ve been very good as far as getting back to me and doing a walkthrough, taking notes of what else needs to be fixed and what things were being overlooked. There's kind of a time delay in getting those fully resolved because of everything that’s going on with COVID-19 and some other restrictions, but for the most part, I haven’t had any issues or complaints.

I like the LGI Homes sales rep. He was quick to get back to me on any question that I had. This is my first house and when I got the papers, I didn't understand, but he helped me a lot. I didn't know how to make a payment because when I make a payment, I prefer to make it online. I called the guy and asked if he could help me with that. He said to come and he'd help me.
I have an issue with the door when you go to the yard. When you open it, it’s a bit tight and really hard. When you close it, it’s also really tight. It was the same thing for my room. The door was a little tight, but the guy fixed it for me. All the restrooms are so nice and perfect, but all of them don't have the thing where you put the towel. Other than that, I like everything about my new home. To me, it's perfect.

We've been looking for a home for years. We looked into Lennar and the Ranch model homes and into KB. There was nothing that really popped out at us as far as the amenities that go along with it. But our experience with LGI has been amazing. The pricing for us was reasonable. It's expensive 'cause it's brand new but it's in our comfort zone.
I and my husband have been looking into the area for four to five years. It was like a dream come true for us. LGI's garage opener is amazing and the two-car garage is what sold us. A couple of years ago, we attempted to buy an LGI home and it was unsuccessful. But at the time, they were one-car garage. So it was like a sign that they now have a two-car garage and it's even bigger square footage. It jumped out at us even more. We have three kiddos and we're both 24. We've been trying to achieve this huge goal for quite a while and it feels really good to finally be able to drive to my brand new house. I also love the granite countertop in our home.
The mortgage lender loan officer, Tammy, was great. She always replied to my emails in a reasonable time. If she sent me an email, she would text me so that I could respond even quicker. Every time she needed information, she'd call. It was a lot of openness that I felt really comfortable about it. I felt open to be able to talk to her and ask her questions. I was ready to make my mortgage payment ahead of time so I reached out to her a little early and I asked for that information. I was able to make my mortgage payment the next day so I really appreciate that. We ended up closing five days before the actual 30 days so we closed early. Even Morrie, the salesperson, would check on us weekly and that was awesome too. He explained the process very thoroughly the first time. We had been familiar with the process so it was a matter of him actually gathering our information and processing it to the next person.
I've told people to look into LGI even if it's not in my area because in general they have the same floor plans and they're all amazing. We even looked into a different area completely. We did Luckey Ranch and they look similar. We were drawn more outside of the city just for that drive. I've also recommended to a couple of my co-workers that LGI has another business around here that is worth for them to look into.

It went great with LGI Homes. One thing that kind of slowed us down was there was a delay in the handling of certain paperwork. We were asked for banking information or bank statements three times. It was a little frustrating and it slowed the process down by a couple of days. But everything went smoothly so it was all good. It was a quick process, especially with everything going on. Also, for the price that we got this home and how it is overall, it was a great value. Especially with the location, it’s very quiet and we’re very close to grocery stores and things like that. And it’s a very nice-sized home. Everything is in great condition and you can’t beat the fact that it’s brand-new.

The buying process was pretty seamless. Based on the design of the home I chose, I was given the estimated closing time. There was another model that had an earlier closing date compared to the original home I chose. The person selling the home gave me the option and said, “This home is the exact same model and it’s gonna close sooner. Do you wanna just go ahead and purchase this home?” I thought it was great and I liked it.
I like the layout of the home I chose. Its quality is awesome. I also liked the purchase option and the fact that LGI was gonna take care of the closing cost. I like the fact that not only do I have the builder warranty, but I could also get the manufacturer warranty for the kitchen appliances like the microwave, the range, the fridge, and even the AC unit.
I like the area and the fact that where LGI Homes built their homes, the potential for appreciation was there. Even within just the month that I’ve owned the home, I’ve noticed the appraisal value of the home go up. I also really like is the relatively low HOA fees The community amenities are a playground for kids and some joint entertainment areas.

We were looking at homes and LGI just happened to have homes in the area that we were looking in. We were his first sale ever for our sales consultant and he was very unsure of himself. He couldn’t answer most of our questions. It wasn’t enjoyable having someone who was their first sale walking us through everything. It did not flow easily and it just wasn’t the best. They really should have had someone with him to walk him through the process. I had to make sure that he was giving me the right information by going above his head. Our Realtor and I switched over to speaking to or emailing the manager. He was much more thorough and definitely knew what he was doing.
There were definitely a few things where LGI Homes did things cheaply or just chose cheaper options but we love the home. We bought a new build that was already complete. But from my understanding, when you buy a home with LGI, you get what you pay for and that’s it. They’re not gonna change anything. So, if you buy a house model A, that’s what you get and that’s the price. If you wanted granite instead of quartz that’s something you have to do. When we purchased the home, the entire backyard was unfinished. It was just mud. We had to pay to do the backyard. Now that we’ve done it, it’s kind of a blessing in disguise ‘cause we got to do what we wanted, but it was weird to buy a house and not have a backyard.
The neighborhood’s really nice. The neighbors that we do have or have met because of quarantine are super sweet and very friendly. We’ve got like kiddie corner across the street. We have recommended LGI to other people that we know who are looking to buy starter homes-- like this is not the home we’re gonna live in forever. It’s just not made to be that, and it’s not huge. We are definitely looking to upgrade eventually and this does what we need it to do for now. And we can make upgrades and increase the value, and that’s kind of the goal.
Hi Madison, we appreciate your review! We definitely put all of our sales reps through training and equip them with all the tools they need to help you through the process.

I like everything about our LGI home. When we first moved up here, we thought we were just going to get a condo or a townhouse, but that was not going very well. We weren't finding what we liked. It was a combination of floor plan and space, and we're so used to having a home in Texas. When I drove into the complex, and I was driving through all this country and really nice residences with big yards and enormous trees, I liked the whole package. Once I drove into it and it went from the country into this small complex, I was like, "Oh my gosh. Can I even get this?"
We had a nice home that was about 59 square feet down in San Antonio a few years ago that we really loved. And circumstantially, we had to move from San Antonio back to Dallas, and this reminded me a lot of it with the front porch, floor plan, flooring, and the kitchen. When I realized that we could get it, it was an emotional moment. Everything about the house is amazing. My wife and I love the kitchen and the cabinets. The home consultant did a great job. He showed everything that they had and it was not a hard decision at all.

LGI Homes is a good company. It was my daughter’s idea to go with them and it went well. My daughter was in the category to get a grant on the county, and she put together a book that had everything that a loan officer needed, so things went quickly. From start to finish, it was a month and a half. We had an inspector come in, and he said the home was built really well. That put us at ease about the home and I was encouraged by his thoughts. However, LGI only put blinds in the front of the home and we only had one window with blinds. We had to purchase blinds. We called the manufacturer of the blinds and they wanted $500. We got them for 250.
There were several other things too. It’s small things, but they got a lot in there. We could see cracks in the doorframe, so they fixed that. There are no gutters on the house and I would have to put those up. There’s no sod in the backyard, so we had to see and buy sod. I also have a problem with the floater in my toilet and I can’t fix that. When we call LGI and tell them about the problem that they have though, it takes a while for them to get out here, but they eventually come.

I paid to fix that part as I had too and again this year, I am having same issue with another side of my house and been told, it may be the window this time. I have no clue how they built these houses that gives you nothing but issue and they are not responsible for it. A brand new house should not have this much issue within 3 years and they feel, it is not their responsibility. It may not be but it is then just very cheaply built leaving you with higher repair cost in the long run.

We were going to get one of the last two Mesquite Plans that they were going to build, where the office was, because they were getting ready to close down that development. So we were going to take literally one of the last ones, but they weren’t even going to build it until they sold all the houses so they can build it where the office was.
But perhaps something fell through with another loan and Willis contacted me right away because I had been bugging him. And I was able to get him everything. He said, “When can you move?” And I said, “We’re ready to move at any time.” And he said, “Okay. What about the end of March? If I can get you a closing date, like maybe the end of March, would that work?” And I said, “Yeah. That would be amazing.” We closed in three weeks. It was fast.
When I did the last walk-through with the contract manager, I was able to record him so I could remember how to maintenance everything. But I really like all the energy-efficient things. We like the lights, and then a lot of the cool things they did with the airflow in the house to make sure we’re not wasting any energy. There's a lot of cool new features in these new homes that we like. So, the quality is great. The appraisal brought the house down by a bit, but I still think it’s amazing.
Hi Desiree, thank you for your review! We are so happy that you found us. We are glad you enjoyed the walk-through and appreciated the tips of how to maintain the home. Congratulations on your new home!

Updated on 4/17/2020: After my initial review someone locally came out to my property and is now refusing to replace the sod that they ripped up that I had purchased. $500 worth of sod that I put down after it was recommended that I buy it and now I have nothing but a muddy back yard with no grass. Tire marks and mud from heavy equipment. LGI does not care about you or your home buying experience; they will take your money and turn their backs.
Original review: Before I purchased my home LGI gave me a written agreement that they would fix the water issue in my backyard; fast forward 7 months and the issue has not been resolved nor can I get anyone to respond to my inquiry as to when it will be resolved. LGI does not stand behind their warranty.

Our sales agent was Emily and she was a really nice person. I asked a fair decent amount of questions and she was there. Even now, she’s there. Whenever I need her, I just call on her cellphone or text her. So, it’s been okay. There were so much paperwork involved. But other than that, the process was pretty good. I like the quality of the home so far. I just need them to come out and look at my front porch. I don’t know if the light bulb is out or it shorted, but it’s so high up. I don’t have a ladder right now to go up there and try to change it. But other than that, I’m happy with it.
The only problem I had with them was when I put my first initial $1,000 down, I thought at the end that the $1,000 would go toward my down payment. But they told me in the end that the $1,000 was going toward the closing cost. They told me that they were covering the entire cost of the closing cost, and not that my thousand dollars would be part of the closing cost.
Hi Edwin, thank you for the review. We're proud of our exceptional customer service and are excited that Emily has been there for you through everything! We apologize for the confusion regarding the earnest money; we can definitely understand where that mix-up happened since we do cover the rest of the closing costs! Congratulations on your new home.

I was looking on the internet for renting a house and one of the Realtors called me and explained that LGI was building a home. She made me come over the site and then she explained everything. I wasn’t so sure at the moment. She convinced me to apply for the loan and we started the process. My credit wasn’t perfect so we worked it out. She told me to apply for a credit card, which I did. She was monitoring the points with me and she was calling me and texting me saying that she was just waiting for me to do my part. She was above and beyond.
It took me almost five months to get my home. It's nice and I love everything about it. There were just a couple of things that were not finished when I got it. For example, when I saw it the first time, there was a big crack on the back. The manager came and they redid the floor before the closing. When they roughen the surface with the broom, the crew didn’t do a very good job. He said that they were coming back but I haven’t heard from him about that. The other thing was around the edges, the caulking, wasn’t finished in the garage, so I had to do it myself. I noticed inside also, so we called him for the inside, and that was when he wasn’t too happy about that. I’m explaining to my wife that we’re buying a new home and so they have to come and fix it and service because that’s part of the deal. But the experience was really good. I would recommend to friends.

Zero money down was the winner for me at LGI. I went with them and everybody there was really nice. They followed up and never left me in the dark if I had any questions. Any time we were leery about stuff, they were always there to reassure us. At the same time, they weren't pushy. If I wasn't comfortable with something, they were just really helpful.

I saw some brochures and things online about LGI. This is one of the areas that’s promising because Atlanta is on the rise of growing or nearby. So, that will make it stand out. I’m a first-time home buyer and was looking at buying a forever home, which is something I can see my kids have. Joe, the manager, was good and there was another guy. I was given referrals based on what type of loan I was applying for, me being a veteran. I liked the fact that I was taken care of. That was very good. The rep was attentive, and worked with me on getting things. We went online to get whatever we needed to get but I was recommended to go in person as well. I like the quality of the service and it didn’t cost that much for me to put down. 1,000 wasn't bad.
The quality of the build is good and it’s nice. I like the home. It’s brand new, which is one thing that made it appealing for the price I’m paying for. The first time experience is important to me. This is something I’m gonna remember and I can take to my kids and to their children. So, LGI gave me a lasting impression. The community is quiet and the people are courteous and professional. People have their activities but it’s not off the wall. It’s an easy-going community and it seems like it's safe. You also got a lot of access to stores and place of businesses.

I was moving and I wasn't looking to buy a home. I was going rent to own because I felt I had some credit problems. But I spoke with Jumani from LGI and he explained everything to me. From what I was informed by other people was totally different. They saw everything through that I needed to do so I stuck with LGI because it was like I was working with people that I've known for years and they worked so well for me. We have a relationship.
LGI has some of the greatest realtors, brokers, loan agents, escrow agents and whoever. Everyone was just so perfect and professional. It made me feel like I was family. Jeanine, Limon, and Jumani are the best in America to me. Once they told me that I was qualified to buy a home, then there was some fear there that I wasn't sure if I was able to purchase a home because of my lack of credit. But they showed me that everything was okay, they reassured me, they removed the fear and replaced that with confidence for me. And they're just wonderful people. That was what made me want this property because I knew this is great. I dealt with great people and it's a great feeling. I've never experienced this type of reception from anyone as far as buying a home or renting a home. They just made me feel like I mattered. It's a great experience.
This is my first home. I like everything about it. I like the way it's built, the newness, and the room that I have. It's a lot of space. It's very modern and this is exactly what I wanted. The neighborhood is beautiful, the people that I have met so far are wonderful, and my neighbors are great. I just love this house. I could live here for the rest of my life.

BEWARE!!! I would give 0 ⭐️ if possible. I purchased my home just 2 years ago and my roof is defective! I have contacted several branches of LGI including construction management, Warranty department and the sales office directly. They have all refused to help. When I purchased the house I was told that my roof had a 10 year warranty. NOT TRUE. The 2/10 warranty is basically a joke. The only thing it covers is if my house foundation splits in two.
Water leaked in my home causing significant damage. I did try and file a claim with my homeowners insurance however, the claim was denied because it is a manufactured defect. The repairs will cost thousands. I would recommend you read the comments on The Seasons of Pendergrass Facebook page. I am not the only one having issues. It appears several of the roofs are faulty. I wish I’d had this information prior to my purchase. I would have NEVER bought a LGI home. I’m so disappointed. Here I am a single mom working paycheck to paycheck. All I can do now is pray.... DONT LET THE “FRIENDLY” SALESMAN FOOL YOU AS I DID!
Hi Leslie, we are sorry that you are having to go through this experience. We do offer a 10-year structural warranty and a 1-year warranty on most other items.

My wife and I are a young couple currently in the market for a new house. We visited a new development by LGI, simply to look at the inside of one of the homes we were interested in. I told the agent there we weren't interested in purchasing anything that day. Before we could ever look inside the house, we had to go through our finances with one of their agents and listen to a pitch about their company that lasted somewhere between 90 minutes and 2 hours. I tried to look past it and think of it as just a salesman doing his job.
We finally get to the house and my wife and I loved it. Our only concerns were that the backyard needed to be regraded and the street needed to be repaved. The salesman ensured me that both of those things would be taken care of. After some discussion with my wife, we decided that while we liked the house, we wanted to take some time to consider our options, do our due diligence, and think about it. I told the salesman this, and he persisted to try to pressure us into making a commitment that day. I had to tell the salesman that we weren't ready to commit to anything at least 3 times before he ceased.
Although, that made me uncomfortable, we still liked the house and kept it open as an option. A few days later, I had my personal real estate agent go and take a look at the house and he came back with overall a pretty good review. So after looking at a few other houses, my wife and I, along with our real estate agent, decided to go take one more look at the LGI home. We decided to move forward with the LGI house. When we arrived at the leasing office, the LGI salesman's attitude had changed noticeably since our last encounter. He was obviously uncomfortable that we had our own real estate agent. He would not allow our real estate agent to have a say in typing up the contract. He brought us the contract and allowed us to look it over while he helped another couple.
The price on the contract was listed as $214,900, despite it being listed online for $211,900. We then asked questions about the warranties, the closing costs, repaving the street, and regrading the backyard. The salesman became more and more on edge as we asked more questions. He could no longer ensure me that the backyard would be regraded. He could only give me his word that the road would be repaved, but couldn't give me anything in writing. When my real estate agent asked how the repaving was going to be paid for, the salesman replied that it is included in the HOA fees of $200 per year. You can do the math on how much road $200 from a handful of houses could afford to repave.
When my real estate agent (who has been in the business for roughly 40 years) mentioned that it would also cost us a decent amount of money to regrade the yard the way it needed to be regraded, the salesman rudely interrupted that no, it wouldn't. While we were willing to pay the $211,900, we decided to make an offer of $207k. When our real estate agent started to say, "we would like to make an offer..." the salesman immediately stood up, snatched up the contract, and said "We DO NOT negotiate our prices." After this reaction and the salesman pitching a fit, I told him we were no longer willing to do business. He stormed off while ripping up the contract.
So, if you want to buy a house from a glorified used car salesman and a company that is unwilling to have an open mind to the best interest of the customer, then LGI may be for you. As for me, I will never do any sort of business with this company, and anyone close to me that at any point ever looks for a house will know about this experience.

BAD experience from LGI homes at the Village of Granite Quarry! They can treat you any way they want - take your earnest money with no concern at all - and sell the house to the next person - no matter how they’ve done the transaction - because it’s covered in writing. They are solid about answering ALL of your questions at first, but their tune changes later. Example - I tell the sales rep that I have a home already and that it will probably be 10% down, which is not something I’m interested in, and he says, “We’ll get it down as close to zero, it won’t be much more”….Has me sign papers FIRST, then go to the loan officer. The loan officer says the same thing - about 19k down - you’ve already been roped in.
Next, I asked about the HOA rules. The rep says, “Oh, you can Airbnb your home. You can Craigslist it. Whatever you need to do.“ Then later says…."With this being a new community I don’t think the HOA rules are going to change any time soon”. After reading other HOA restrictions: “No noxious or offensive trade or activity shall be carried on upon any lot nor shall anything be done thereon tending to cause embarrassment, discomfort, annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood.” - makes me think just how superficial the sales rep’s answer was: no respect for this risk - and the ability to Airbnb the place was a key point in my reserving the home.
And of course the whole experience was extremely aggressive and unpleasant. Who likes being texted at 8am on a Saturday morning telling you they needed to know your decision on the home as of “yesterday”? When supposedly it’s ‘solely’ reserved for you anyway? There is No return of earnest money after 14 days. You only have 3 days to say which lender you want if you don’t go with their lender, so make up your mind quickly because as I said - they’ll keep your earnest money - and absolutely have no problem with keeping it AND no problem with the order in which the transaction took place. Also, they don’t consider the agreement an offer to purchase - so it doesn’t matter to them if the the agreement was signed by both parties - or not.
In addition, it’s important for you to read the reviews about the quality of the construction of their homes. I consider myself lucky to have gotten out of this home and wish I had read about the reviews consumeraffairs.com first! I have to wonder - if I was treated this way about the earnest money, how well will I be treated with warranty questions or other issues on the home? Sure, LGI will write their professional sounding response right after this, but you heard it from me first - don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Our on-site New Home Consultants are highly trained in the financing options available and are knowledgeable about what financing options you can qualify for, which is why we are comfortable having the contract signed first.

Be VERY careful! They are very good at using tricky, deceitful wording when they are trying to sell you a home. Every month, something new pops up. For example, I was told that the HOA fees would be covered by LGI for the first year. Surprise! I got a bill in the mail from the HOA. But, wait. I thought LGI assured me that they would cover the HOA fee for the entire year? Wrong. They meant for the 2019 year. Guess when I signed my papers? December 27th, 2019. So they only covered THREE days of the HOA. Another funny thing, I was out of town for the holidays and wouldn't have been able to sign my papers until I returned on January 2nd; I didn't move into the home until January 3rd/4th because I didn't get back into town until January 2nd.
They had me meet someone all the way in NY because they were insistent on having the papers signed before the 1st. I should have been firm and said "no." But I agreed, and they had a notary meet me in NY. Again, they did NOT specify they would pay for only the 2019 year. In fact, they used it as a selling point. "We'll pay the HOA fees for the year." Absolutely downright horrible and sneaky. And the manager even said, "Well, if someone signed in June, we would only pay for June up until the end of December" but then couldn't understand why I was upset about them shafting me for the entire year. 3 days??? Really? It's absolute BS. I saw another review that stated they tell you "yes" until you sign, then everything becomes "no" or "we're sorry you were given wrong information." This is definitely true.
When I first came and looked through the *unfinished* house, I specifically asked if a washer and dryer was included (was told appliances were included, but not which ones). I was assured twice that, yes, they would be included. I had a friend with me and he repeated the question a 2nd time (for verification). Again, was told "yes." This changed after I signed the papers. Suddenly, "Oh, no. We don't have to provide those." Exact words. Then, I realized there are NO blinds on any of the windows, except the front. I said something, and was again told "We don't have to provide those." Odd, since other builders do provide these things.
Also, there is this awful black spray paint on the front door that they promised to fix (paint) during the walkthrough. I have requested this twice, and yet it's still there. Again, I was given the affirmative "yes" BEFORE I signed, and then everything suddenly was "wrong information." I thought they were nice, but I should have realized it was all dishonesty to get a sale. Just be very careful when dealing with them, and get EVERYTHING spelled out simply so they can't be sneaky in the future. They are NOT transparent at all; you have to do your research and dig deeper into every aspect, as they will not be upfront until AFTER you sign papers (at which point, you're stuck). Make sure you do the walkthrough and get everything fixed BEFORE you sign papers.
