    In general, the quality of the build was good. There've been minor issues, and most of them haven't been LGI Homes' fault. The only thing I can fault them on right now is the issue with my foundation and the drafts. They had to chip out a section of my foundation because when they poured the concrete, they damaged some of the conduit, and they couldn't feed the power out to my island in my kitchen. They made repairs on it, and everything looked great.

    However, since I've taken over ownership of the house, I’m getting the drafts underneath my kitchen cabinet. I spoke with them a few weeks ago about it, and they haven't done anything to resolve that issue yet. I'm still a little irked about that, but I'm sure that's gonna get fixed eventually. I've had ongoing conversations with Casey, the representative at LGI. He's been very quick to respond to any requests I made of him and throughout the entire process, he was the one thing that went smoothly. He's been great.

    I saw the construction on my way to work then I got information about the houses in the mail. We filled up an application, went into the house and fell in love with it. They are very nice homes. The amount of space was what we were looking for. I like the area too. School districts are good. The whole process including the price was awesome.

    I was in the neighborhood looking at a previously built home and I saw the new development for LGI. I liked the location. I came in, I was with my realtor. We stopped and looked at a house, got with the consultant, we discussed what I was looking for, he showed me what was available, and I made a decision that same day. Rocky was professional. He listened to what I wanted in the house and was able to point me in that direction and get me started, and through the whole process. Any questions that I had, I brought them to their attention and they followed up. Not too long after I made a request or brought up a situation, it was always handled in a timely manner.

    It's a very good built quality house. I love it. It's very quiet here, and I like that. That’s one of the reasons that drew me into the neighborhood. And everyone seems friendly. We have a playground right up the street within walking distance from me. I don't have any kids, but that's always good. See children playing, coming in and out of the neighborhood. Seems very safe. They have it gated. This is one of the best choices I've made for myself this far in life. Make that choice.

    I was looking for a home to rent on, and LGI Homes popped up when I Googled it. Everything was great with the rep that I worked with. He's name is Kevin. He had to do the E-side of everything and some stuff. Whenever they sent something, I would call him and he'd say, “Come on in, I’ll do it for you. I’ll show you how to do it.” Anything that came out, LGI worked fine with me. The quality of the build is fine. I would prefer that the bedrooms could have been a little bit bigger, especially the master bedroom. With the one that I have, the master bedroom is small.

    I love the community so far for right now. It would be good if they would just keep it up where people keep stuff clean and organized. It looks like as we get more homes built in our community, they're gonna be parking all out in the street, which I don't like at all. We have a HOA, but I see on the older side, people are parking their cars out in the middle of the road. They're right next to one another, which is not good. They’ll have a problem getting through. Other than that, I was satisfied overall, and I already recommended several of my friends to go through them to help them. My experience was great. No headaches. No hassle. Whatever was not right, they told me what I needed to do, and I told Kevin, and he got it solved.

    I was already in the market in search for a new home. I was driving by and I saw the LGI sign. I decided to stop in the office and ask a couple of questions in the information office. Angie kind of showed me the type of brochure of how the homes look and what to expect, and checking the credit to see where I was at, and then I started the process from there. LGI made me feel comfortable and they were really nice and courteous. I didn’t ask 1,000 questions, but the questions I did ask, they were pretty good with them and answered them, and gave me the information that I need. They seemed pretty well knowledgeable about what was going on and how to answer those questions. Everybody was all good. My new home is in a really beautiful community. Everything is good. The water is hard, but I think that's just the area.

    Oak Ridge location in Fort Worth Texas has the worst customer service! The sales manager sold my house that I was UNDER CONTRACT to another family. He admitted to BREACHING MY CONTRACT and they cannot be trusted! They just tried brushing it under the table like it never happen and didn’t seem to want to solve the issue! Buyer Beware, save yourself the headache! Don’t trust LGI HOMES. You’ll get the run around! THINK BEFORE YOU BUY SHOULD BE THEIR MOTTO!!!

    I've worked with LGI before and I like LGI and their newer home because you put $1,000 down, you secure the lot, and that's it. You don't have a bidding war when it comes to buying an older home. I like how even though the backyard was pretty bare, you can build what you want on it. You can decide how you want your backyard.

    Everyone was pretty kind and really knowledgeable. Any questions that I had, they answered, and if they didn't have the answer, they responded really quickly with someone that did. So, it was a really pleasant overall experience. Usually, sometimes, when you're buying a home or you're talking to other Realtors, they kind of make you feel pressured. But when it comes to LGI, that's never the case.

    Every representative I dealt with seemed like they're really there for you and they're always trying to help you out. When I bought my first LGI home, it was the same case. I had Cedric as my first person. When we moved to Washington, they tried to sell me a home and he was amazing. My other rep was kind of the same way. He's really personable. He said "Hey, if there's anything you need, just let me know." And that was the case when we did the house. He'd be there with us like, "Hey, if there's anything wrong, let me know now, we can get it fixed.” So, that was what we would do, and we visited the home quite a bit before it was finished.

    The home has really good quality. There are minor things that I've noticed that I filed warranties for. But other than that, my first LGI home was amazing. I didn't ever recognize anything wrong with it. The second one, there were just minor things. When they were installing the stove, they scratched up the floor. We had the building manager. He was there and he wrote it down. He told us that it’d get taken care of. So, we're waiting on that. But other than that, everything else is pretty solid.

    We love the home. Our new home community is really quiet, which we enjoy. I haven't really met too many people in the neighborhood so far. I've been kind of working a lot. But I definitely kind of prefer the community I'm in now over the community that was in Washington. The HOA we had in Washington was really controlling. That was one thing that I didn't like too much. I was worried about the same situation here when we bought our new LGI home, but the HOA here is very relaxed. They're not too pushy with anything. So, I prefer the neighborhood here so far. I recommend LGI to the majority of the people I talk to. The prices that LGI always offers are pretty hard to beat.

    LGI Homes has a good deal. Our home consultant, Dylan, was good, and one of the LGI staff was really great. He want to call or text any time of the day. Dylan is hardworking, and I like the way he responds to calls and how helpful he is as well. 90%, he answers our questions. If he did not get any answer for our question, he would direct us to the right guy. I feel safe and important working with Dylan.

    Our home looks nice. We didn't expect the room was going to be really small. When we were checking the five bedrooms, it wasn't ready. Apart from that, it was okay. The only disappointment was, the following day, we were supposed to move in and the construction guy was supposed to do something with the key, and they tried to unlock our door to put our stuff in but it was not working. We had to call Dylan, and then we had to call a locksmith to come open the door, and we had to pay them.

    Other than that, the whole experience was great. I hope we're not gonna get any disappointment. We found two breakouts on the wall but then, we called, they came and they said we’re going to have more of the breakouts, so we have to wait until 11 months. They are going to come fix everything and paint it. We're really satisfied with the amenities. We like the neighborhood because there are lot of stores. We have a big Walmart here and we have two stores around. It's a nice neighborhood. It's just a little bit noisy for now. We expect that because they told us there's gonna be some construction. We’re okay with that.

    I drove-by LGI Homes. The rep and I had a cordial interaction. He was a nice guy. I was comfortable. Whenever I had questions or concerns, they came back obligatory through phone calls, texts, or emails. Sometimes, all of the above. They did a good job. However, the financial side needs improvement. Be more timely about things. When you miss a process like that, it could cost a week or two, or more in closing. Whatever it might be, that needs to get communicated. There were some breakdowns but it always seemed to go to the loan people. Other than that, I have already recommended somebody who bought out there.

    My problem is with LGI Homes in Sonterra Jarrell Texas. Do not buy here. You will regret it. I bought a LGI Home last year in September. By October the kitchen floor vinyl tile started coming up. Since I had just moved I didn't get to put the WO until December the 16th. Andrew ** came to look at the floor. Said they would fix it in January due to the holidays. January came no one came. I called him in February. He freaked out that no one had came out. Said again someone would come. February passed no one came.

    By the beginning of March I submitted another WO, but by the time they got to it again COVID hit. So they used the COVID excuse to not fix the floor. At that point the floor was all undone reaching to the dining room area. They kept pushing the order every month until September that I received an email saying their COVID restrictions have been lifted. So I submitted another WO this time. The builder Matt ** appeared on the WO. I had his number from orientation. When he answered he asked me what he could help me with as if nothing had happen. Since I am selling the house he "put me first" on the list.

    The floor guys came removed the floor but the concrete was wet. Even the floor installers moisture machine was very high on moisture level. So I requested for Matt to have someone inspect the foundation. Even though he said he would have someone inspect it no one has came and he left to another subdivision leaving my mess to some guy named Wrath who has yet to contact me.

    Don't give me this COVID mess excuse LGI had three months prior to COVID to fix my floor THREE! And they still had THREE more months after the restrictions have been lifted. The roller floor was left inside my garage. I spent Thanksgiving and my daughter's birthday party without a floor. It only takes 2 days to install the floor and it should not take weeks for someone to come inspect the foundation. Due to so much dirt collected by the concrete the carpet has been stained. The carpet is already cheap to begin with.

    These houses are built with cheap material that's why they're "so affordable". They just want to put a bandaid on the problem or expect you to get tired of calling and complaining. Not me. Yes it has affected the selling of my house for me to lose buyers not to mention all the stress it has caused me. I do not understand why offer a "10 year warranty" when it can't be used. It's used to lie to people to get them to buy these nightmare homes.

    Whoever is replying to our complaints why don't you go look for someone that will help me with my floor instead of trying to cover LGI up? I have my family living here. They do not care yet they pretend to be family oriented. Get on Google search LGI Homes in Sonterra. There's a bunch of people with 1-2 year unattended WO. Shame on you all. How dare you do this to your customers! I can't wait to get this floor fixed (one day) and buy a real home. Also be aware some of their homes are built on a condominium lot so you cannot have guest or anyone park on the curb. They will tow your vehicle! I don't understand how they haven't been sued or been on the news they need to be!

    I called the number and told them that I was looking at possibly purchasing a home, that I had placed offers on two additional homes prior to that, and ended up bidding $15,000 more than the asking price. That still wasn't enough. There was a very high market and it was hard for me. After the second time of bidding that much more than the asking price and still that wasn't enough, someone outbid me. LGI explained to me there isn't going to be someone that can possibly outbid me so I don't have to keep searching and searching.

    The person that I worked with, Joy, was good. I called that evening and she continued to talk with me through that night, texting and calling. She did a good job presenting everything to me, but at the same time, it was a little pushy. She said I needed to come the next day because these houses are selling fast. I ended up meeting her the very next day. Before I even saw the house, she said I needed to put my money down because the house could sell between us driving there, from the office to the lot. I ended up giving the money down. I saw the lot and everything looked good. I decided with the home for the price, it was good. I like that in the neighborhood that I'm in, Bailey Farms, the homes aren't right on top of each other. You still have a neighbor, but it's not like I can bring them out the window and touch their mouth.

    The only thing that inconvenienced me a little was there was a huge tree that was rotten. I'm a first time home buyer so this is not something that I would probably be looking at. I did end up paying thousands of dollars to get it cut down because it was gonna eventually fall on my house or the neighbor's house. I feel like LGI can pay attention a little bit more to the backyard landscaping. It looks like they pay a lot of attention to the front yard but the backyard was a bit of a mess. There were a lot of branches that had fallen down and I had to do a little bit of cleaning up.

    There should be blinds put all over the whole home as opposed to just the front of the home. Some LGI Homes are the complete feature where they put blinds throughout the whole home. For privacy reasons, I had to come in here and get someone to put up blinds throughout the home so I'm not standing in the dark wondering if someone out there is looking at me. Another thing that I didn't see in my walkthrough is the dishwasher is cracked. I can tell that it got cracked from a construction worker trying to jam it in there as opposed to placing it and maybe taking some extra time to look at it. I was told to file a warranty with that. There are a few things that were missed that I specifically talked to them in the walkthrough but I didn't see that those got done. They let me know this week, in order for them to get fixed, it will be faster to send a warranty claim.

    I ended up getting some tile work done for the backsplash in the kitchen. When we did it, I could clearly see where one side of the wall was a little bit more sunken in than the other side. In my kitchen, the cabinet may not leveled because it appears to make one side of the wall in the corner look a little bit higher than the left corner. These are things that someone that specializes in tile would probably be able to point out. Other than those, everything else has been okay. I would do it again.

    We were on a house hunt and LGI was building in the area we were looking to move to. The whole experience from beginning to end, even now, has been fantastic. They responded really quick when my husband asked for a viewing and then when we went to the home, the consultant was very knowledgeable. He gave us great information about LGI, the history of the neighborhood, and some things in the house. He knew about the different lots. After he asked us a few questions, he showed us a lot that he thought was what we want. He also showed us other ones and he stayed out of the way. He was really good. Then, he told us about the promotions for LGI and how it would be for us using their lender. It was a good experience. There was a lot of knowledge that we wouldn't have looked on our own.

    We closed in less than 24 days. With the lender, we were pre-approved by the time we got home. The house kind of "sold" three times and the fact that we did it and secured it was wonderful. Also, the mortgage lender was fantastic. The inspection and them talking with our Realtor were a whole good experience. The builder we met doing the inspection was very knowledgeable.

    I didn't want the hassle of trying to fix things other people broke or damaged. I scrolled through new homes that a realtor had sent me and all the other homes in my price range were going to be making up for it in driving cost. The one from LGI Homes was a good deal. Adrian was good too. He was always upfront and honest, but he had a lot of homes that he was working with too, so he wasn't able to pay attention to every single panic of mine. Still, he kept me grounded. He helped me through the process. I love my house. The quality is not the best, but certainly nowhere near bad. LGI did great service helping me get into it. I'm a big introvert, but as far as I can see, my neighbors seem to be nice. I don't have kids as well, so the soccer park and the playground park are not on my attention. However, there's a dog park right across from where I bought my house and I like it. I have my family come over sometimes, bring their dog, and we play in there.

    I would recommend LGI, but from what I've seen, they're trying to do too much in too short a time, so there are problems and issues that don't get resolved or addressed before they should be. They got delayed by 20 days. I was supposed to close October 31st. Instead, I closed November 20th, which put me taking a vacation right in the middle of a busy season of the year for my company. Also, I'm still waiting on them to come in and fix my cabinet and finish cleaning off the paint that's on my front door and another cabinet. They were supposed to be done before I moved in, but I understand Zac's got 30 other homes he's managing right now, so I'm not too anxious about it unless it goes for over a month.

    On January, going to work, I saw one of the signs about the home, and I went and applied. At that time, my credit wasn't that good, so they couldn't help me. I then got a phone call from another agent telling me that there was going to be a grand opening in August the 1st if I wanted to come and see the house. I said, "Yeah, of course. I want to go and see the houses." Angie is my agent and she helped me a lot with what I needed and how to do it to get the house.

    I don't like old houses and thanks to LGI Homes, I got my new house. I really appreciate it. The house is nice, but I didn't know that there's no window in the kitchen to take the air out through the back when you cook. I can also hear my neighbors, but it's all right. I'm closer to work and I love it. I like it here. It's not completely full of houses yet, hopefully once it's all built up, it will be fine.

    I would recommend LGI Homes because they get right to the point. You find out if you’re qualified or not. There’s no running around the bush or playing games with you, and if you qualify, the process is very fast. I wanted something that hasn't been lived in before. I went by another community in Las Vegas, and I didn't like that one. When I got home, I looked up on my own, LGI Homes, and I found out they had another community, so I called. Gina was very nice and I was very comfortable with her. She addressed everything I asked right away and she got me the answer to my questions. She emailed me and she stayed in contact with me through the whole process. She didn't utilize high-pressure tactics and that's what got my attention. Also, she explained things very thoroughly.

    As soon as I walked into the house, I knew it was mine, but what made me make the decision was the opening entry into the home, and also the backyard. This is my second day in the house. We spent the night last night and it's been nice so far. I wake up feeling totally different. This community is very quiet. I'll see when the rest of the neighbors get here 'cause I'm the first closing of this neighborhood, but so far, it's well mapped out. There’s ample space in between the homes. There's a little bit more spacing you get with some of the other homes. There's just a lot of things that I can tell they put thought into.

    So we started out on November the 29th of 2020 we went to look around the neighborhood and we liked one of the home. Keep in mind we had been there before and didn’t have good luck. So we thought if we had our own people to finance and realtor that we wouldn’t be hassled but yet there was still pushing and bullying to make us not to be loyal to our financial and realtor. So I would never ever recommend this company to any friends or family and I wouldn’t buy into their Kool-Aid. Also their rating on here will never drop Bc their people will go on here make good reviews so that their number will never drop so all in all good luck if you go with LGI homes. I hope you like wolves biting your butt and also the garage pour was poor Because the house was built this year and it was cracked. No offer if we bought the house they would re-pour it or fix it and the patio was also cracked. No mention of repair or replace.

    I was looking around and I liked the location, which made me decide on a new build. I was told by the LGI rep to come in one day. We were scheduled to be there for an hour but it took about 30 minutes to sign all the papers. I thought it would be a lot harder to purchase a house but it was smooth and easy. It wasn't a very long process. If I had questions, I would call LGI and if I wasn't able to get ahold of them, I left them a voicemail. They were able to return the voicemail in a timely manner, which was great. I was comfortable working with them. The quality of the home is very nice.

    I had a previous bad experience with the LGI in Denton and I didn't get the house. Then, I got a phone call from one of the reps here in Sanger and I gave him a chance. I came to Josh, a sales rep, kind of skeptical. But the moment I walked in and he and I had a conversation until the day I closed on the house, Josh kept me informed. He would check on me to make sure everything was good and he never left me in the dark. He was very friendly and very personable. I am a disabled veteran and Josh made sure that I was well taken care of. I had very little work to do when it came to getting this house because he did it all. He helped me all the way to the finish line. I could call him at seven o'clock in the morning on his day off and he was gonna either answer or return my call. Josh was amazing.

    With the home, I love the bedroom sizes. All the bedroom sizes are really great and my master closet is amazing. Also, I love the yard. The biggest seller for me was the backyard. I have a six-year-old who loves to run and I have so much yard space for him to run in and to play and when my nieces are here, they can play. A couple of things that I did on my own were the towel racks in the bathroom and the doorknobs on the cabinets.

    I purchased the home for my son. He contacted a realtor and the realtor brought him to the LGI community that he purchased the home from. What he wanted was a single family home. He wanted not to have neighbors on top of them. He was renting in a community that he wasn't happy with and that's what drove the decision to purchase a home. I was concerned he was going into an area that would be very isolated, and it looks like it's a higher growth area. There are stores around that are I'm sure he would utilize. It seems to have everything that a community would need and it's growing. That seemed to appeal to him a little bit. LGI was very easy to work with. I tried to negotiate a price but I got nowhere. Other than that, everything they said they were going to do, they did.

    We drove by the LGI Homes location that was in Denton and what interested us first was the no money down. When COVID hit, that went away. But still, the downpayment requirement was less than most builders, so that was a big plus. Dealing with their consultant was just touch and go most of the time. We had a couple of miscommunications but for the most part, it went smoothly. It was as smooth as you could expect during a pandemic.

    The consultant was easygoing. But he seemed to lack follow-up communication, just leaving things up in the air a little bit. He tried really hard to keep things calm with me because I'd tend to fly off the handle. The communication between LGI and the lender they use is not the greatest. People should expect different stories and they would have to come up with the needed to be done. LGI would tell me one thing and then I'd get an email from the lender saying something completely different. That was a little stressful.

    I'm really impressed with the quality of the build, for the most part. The driveway and the yard could use a lot of work. But the home itself is great. We’re one street over from the railroad tracks and there are a lot of trains that go by. But as for the neighborhood, it seems like it's gonna be pretty quiet. We don’t have very many neighbors yet but nothing crazy has happened yet.

    I bought a new home on 10/31/2019. While my home was under warranty, rain water came into the garage door because the top two driveway panels have flat slope where panels meet at the garage slab. Although LGI Homes replaced the top two driveway panels, they did bad work. The new two driveway panels have cloudy white color all over. I filed a complaint with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC). The Investigator # **, Gregory ** came to inspect it on 11/16/2020, took photos, questioned the LGI Homes about the cloudy white color on the panels, yet he dismissed my complaint. He wrote, "The Registrar determined that there is not sufficient evidence to find that the Respondent Failed to meet minimum workmanship standards per A.A.C."

    R4-9-108, November 19, 2020, Dismissal Letter from the ROC, C017 8/29. Additionally, I have filed a complaint to the Arizona Ombudsman, and I am waiting for the response. User's recommendation: Hire two different home inspectors to make sure you don't miss anything and never go to closing until all repairs are DONE PROPERLY and verify by your inspectors. Preferred solution: I would like LGI Homes to monetary compensation so that I can hire my own contractor in order to replace the top tow panels of my driveway..

    Everything went very smoothly with LGI Homes. For a new home, their infrastructure is new so you have little or no problem. But for an older home, there's always some form of repair that has to happen. Being new to the United States, we needed something that could give us that cushion for maybe five years before you start generating those costs. We only have been here for two years and we wanted the comfort of not having to repair anything.

    The realtor was very professional and knowledgeable. He listened and showed us quite a few places. Then we were telling him what we liked and what we didn't like, and where we wanted to go in terms of future plans, so he settled us in with LGI. He was very accommodating.

    There are a couple things that haven't been done inside of our house though. The heater vent in the bathroom never got put in all the way because the tile needed to be touched a little bit. Overall, they did an awesome job. It was much easier than going through a Realtor and I'm so much happier. I sold my house through a Realtor. The whole way through, I thought I was getting a 1% deal ‘cause what they advertise is 1%. She made it be a 2% deal and didn’t tell us. That's a lot of money.

    LGI Homes didn't try to fool us and they helped pay for the fees. We're gonna do awesome things too. We're gonna get it down to 2.2% interest because starting in January, we're gonna pay weekly on our house instead of monthly. I got something in the mail about it, and it takes off seven years off your mortgage. My husband gets paid daily and I get paid weekly, so it’s a lot easier to give up the money by the week than by the month.

    I love my house. We also bought a bed that raises up and lowers down and we gave our king bed to my son who’s living with us. He's helping support us, which is how we can afford the house. We have three people that are working paying for the house. Eventually, we want to just give him the house or have him take over payments. We own a business, and we hope to do well with that before we buy the house outright within six years.

    There's nothing I can complain about the house. There were a few minor issues that came up with our inspection, and LGI was quick to take care of those issues. Anyone that's looking for a house right now, I tell them to check out whatever LGI has throughout the valley. In general, everything is clean in the community.

    My wife and I discussed, and the decision was more of the new home experience with no one else prior to being in the home before we were. We had someone try to go through LGI a year prior, and they were denied because of some credit issues. We never gave it a second thought and then we were driving around and we saw it again. We tried it and we got approved right away. Jason and I talked just about every day. If I wasn't up at the property looking at everything, he would call me and send me pictures of stuff that I didn't see, which was great. If I had to do this all over again, I would definitely choose Jason again. I referred him to two other people that I know that were looking for homes.

    Now, I'm working from home, so I have this new home smell and I had this new home feeling. I'm bragging about it. I’m seeing new neighbors. It’s a great thing. I love it. The only thing I would change is our master bedroom downstairs. It's more of a construction thing and I asked for the floorplans so I can do a build-on sometime in the future. Those are the one thing that I really wanted, but I couldn't get those. They said that I can go to city hall and see if I can get them that way. Other than that, this was our very first home that we ever purchased. Now that we know what homes look like and what they should look like, we know going forward what to expect.

    LGI Homes was good but there was a little bit of a lack of communication on some things. About four days before we were supposed to move in, they said that the move-in date had been moved and they didn't tell us prior to that. Also, we couldn't really get ahold of anybody. Nobody would call you back when you'd leave a message. They moved offices and didn't say anything. Their numbers changed and they never let us know. We actually had to walk down to the office to get answers to questions we had. Then that was when we found out that they had new phone numbers and the person that we were working with had a new number. That was frustrating.

    We love the size of our home. That's why we stayed in the neighborhood. There were a few things that we needed to fix. The granite wasn't sealed and we had to have somebody come in a couple of days after we already moved in to seal them. When you walk on certain parts of the upstairs like in the master closet or right when you get up the stairs, there are some cracking or squeaking on the flooring. That has to do with some of the floorings that were laid down. We mentioned that right before we did the walkthrough before we signed the paperwork and the rep told us that it was not a blue tape walk-through.

    We were moving from a very competitive Colorado market. We chose to go with a new build because we didn't wanna compete on a resale and we liked the idea of a first-time home with no owners and making it our own. LGI was out in Colorado, where we moved from. We moved into Oregon, but we were looking in the area. We looked for new builds in the area and drove to the LGI offices. Dealing with LGI was phenomenal. Their representative, Heath, was amazing. Both in the initial offering piece where we were seeing what was here and then being able to view the homes and then the whole process of deciding to go with LGI, he was phenomenal.

    We like the house. We understand on the new build that there are obviously some pieces of it that we're still trying to figure out. But for the most part, we are happy with the quality of the home. We wished there was a little more, but we didn't have as much say in the build as sometimes you could have with some of these builders. But that was due to the current climate and being able to get these homes up in a timely manner. This community is phenomenal. This area represents also the smaller town that we've bought this home in. All the parks are great. All of the look of the homes, the feel here, and the community have been wonderful.

The consultant told them that I was her pet project because of all of my questions, and that, although I was needy, I would probably be happy with the house in the end.

    We're pretty disgruntled with the way that LGI has handled multiple things, including the most important internet. I had been talking to LGI since July and the very first thing I asked the consultant was what the internet was gonna be. My husband is a software developer who works from home for the government. I am the chief operating officer of a startup company. My son is six, and so he's going to first grade. So internet is absolutely essential just as much as water is to us. I made it very clear that that was our number one priority and the consultant swore up and down that we would have internet the day we moved in.

    I had been calling Xfinity since September to make sure that we would have everything set up. I was told by all parties that there would be no problem. I moved in and Xfinity said that because they didn't have the permit to our neighborhood, we wouldn't be getting internet until December or January. I ended up fighting with LGI and Xfinity to get this figured out. Then I called the mayor because LGI told me that because they were not forcing us to use Xfinity, that it was our problem and they would not help us with this. In the end, after calling the mayor and getting the city involved, they proved that the reason we didn't have the internet was that LGI built these homes without the permits approved by the city. Because of that, the houses should've started construction and been done by December. So, it was completely LGI's fault. They dropped the ball and I've had no sympathy.

    I had to get a satellite installed into my house and pay for it so I could have a very slow internet. I have 20-speed internet. After the mayor got involved, they finally got Xfinity to come out here and fix everything. So on Wednesday, I'm gonna be able to get 1,000-speed internet. But I'm not gonna get recouped for the cost of the slow internet that I had to install because of LGI's mistake and we're pretty upset about that. Had this stuff with the internet not happened, I could've excused Lynn's personality that she just was a blunt person. Before I had moved into these homes, I was very happy with how everything went and I was constantly recommending it to friends and family. I even had someone meet with Lynn and talk to her about getting in here. But with the internet, it really has turned our thoughts about LGI in this community.

    Where to start... Key points here:

    1) Quality is mediocre at best

    2) Use your own realtor

    Around the 18th of September 2020, my spouse found LGI homes while searching for a new rental. He talked to a sales person at the model home who assured him that barring a few things (namely pay off a student loan) purchasing a home would be “doable”. At this point we were required to pay a $1,000 deposit. Not a big deal, right? I mean you’re getting a brand new build. On the 19th, the MLS for the home we were interested in, went from “active” to “pending”. We were ecstatic. Especially since we had to be out of our rental because of the landlord's divorce.

    Tim, of LGI homes in San Antonio Fl, gave my husband an approximate date for close of October 13th, 2020. Texts and calls throughout the next few days were the same garbage.. “You’re going to close..everything is fine”. Typical salesperson garbage. Around the beginning of October, I checked the MLS. It had gone from “Pending” to “Active”. I asked my husband to get in touch with the realtor, who was J **. He instead reached out to Tim, who again assured us everything was ok, that we were closing on the home just 2 weeks later. At this point, my husband asked if we were Ok to give notice of intent to vacate, and the answer was “yes”. So we did.

    The 13th of October came - silence from LGI. The 14th came and suddenly, there’s this story about an issue with the underwriter. “..But don’t worry - you’re gone close”.. until 5p that night then it was a different story. Not only did they want us to “wait” while they held our deposit, they didn’t want to give it back. LGI salespeople continued to pursue a loan on a MLS listing that wasn’t under contract, but daily checked/pulled my husband's credit report. (Probably looking for the loan pay off.) Most importantly, because we had given notice to leave the rental, our family of 4 was now looking at a bigger issue: homelessness. A family of 2 veterans, 2 kids under 5 was going to be without a home.

    Through this process - I had asked a few questions:

    1) can we use our own lender
    2) can we use our own title company

    3) can I use my own homeowners insurance

    The answers to all those questions were “no”. That should have been where I pulled the plug on this whole thing. That should have been the ‘red flag’. The title company they use is Empower Title something or other, you can Google them and decide for yourself your own opinion. One Home loans was who they required us to use. Again, do your research. Our bank is also an insurer, their rates were half of what LGI wanted us to pay. If any of this isn’t deterrent enough: the Mirada HOA, is a corporate HOA. So basically, you’re still living under LGI’s thumb no matter what you do. If you’re ok with that? I guess.. more power to you.

    All in all, I’ve retained an attorney, to handle this mess they’ve created for our family. It’s not a scam, you do get a house. You’re options for colors and flooring - they won’t let you choose (or so they told me). Appliance upgrades are also a no-go. For almost 300k? You can do much better. Currently, we are actually in a home that is very much our dream home and will close on it for two thirds the cost and none of the headache these incompetent people threw at us. There’s NO communication.

    If you’re a veteran? They just want that government backed funding. Think those car dealerships right outside post: you get the car, you’re gonna overpay, but you won’t notice it because they’ll have you focused just on your monthly payment. The only thing I can say to Tim, Amy and Mr ** (their listing agent): Karma will catch you. It always does.

    Hi Holly, we are surprised to hear about your experience and apologize for any miscommunication that occurred. We view ourselves as your partner throughout the homebuying journey and work closely with our buyers to achieve the dream of homeownership.

However, when you do go this route you may not receive other benefits that we offer, such as builder-paid closing costs. We apologize for any misunderstanding there was regarding this fact. As for the HOA, Mirada is a master-planned community with several builders and has its own HOA.

    We are proud to offer quality, move-in ready homes that are outfitted with upgrades already included.

    I needed to get a new house and it was our first time buying a house. The people from LGI Homes that helped me out were efficient and everything went smoothly. The consultant, Josh, always gave me updates on the house every week. He was always upfront about everything. I put a down payment and it all worked out. The new house is good. But I've had it for only two or three weeks and I've already had two issues. There's a wall that is a little messed up and they know about it. Also, my heater was messing up and a guy came out to fix it. The guy was okay, but if the same issue was to happen again twice, it seemed that they didn't know what they were doing.

    I had an older home and I was tired of the upkeep and I wanted to downsize so I also got a smaller floorplan from LGI Homes. The construction manager has been good but there are some things that could've been done better with the build such as the trim around the floors. It's a little janky. I love the community though. I'm out in a place where I'm close to the outdoor and the things that I like to do. I haven't had a chance to meet my neighbors and I'm hoping to do that.

    I like LGI. I like their work and I like how everything is done under one roof. So that would reduce my anxiety and stress. For a few years, I've been getting those little postcards in the mail from them. But I wasn't quite ready for a home yet. So I worked on my credit a little bit and then I decided to give a call and check. I went with a new build. I didn't wanna go into a situation where I'd be inheriting someone else's problem on a previous home. The home consultant, Zach, was very energetic, very positive and very informative.

    My husband and I met Zach and we looked at one community and loved the house. However, we would have to come up with a downpayment within a month. That wasn't gonna work for us. So Zach let us know that they were building on another community. So he reached out to us a little later. We went and checked it out, and that was the home that we ended up with. So he was there and he encouraged us. He told us that we could save this amount of money and was very supportive. He kept us informed the whole way and he was always available if we had a question. I was impressed with his personality and overall attitude. Overall, everything was really good.

    I love the home. There were two things that were a little different, being a new home. One was that there were no towel racks in the master bedroom or the other full-size bedroom. Those were the little things you don't notice before. That was a little weird but we ended up putting up our own already. In the back door, it had glass from pretty much the top of the door to the bottom. I would have rather had a solid door instead of glass like that from the backdoor. I really like the community. It's quiet and everyone takes really good care of their yard and everyone's friendly. I look forward to getting on at work and coming home and just relaxing. It's very comfortable. It's hard for me to get out of bed some days. But it makes me even more motivated to earn extra income even though I'm okay where I am.

As far as why I chose them over other builders in the area, their homes seemed more affordable than the other ones that I saw by like Lennar, and I liked their actual floor plans better. I liked that the laundry room was upstairs. That just took me out. Also, they have a good system in place.

    The purchase went fast. The LGI Homes rep didn't come down on the price for me. But he was fine. However, I paid way more than I should have for the quality. The prices are higher everywhere. I needed a one level home, and I liked the yard. I also I liked the location. The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of closet space, and the bathrooms are a little small. And then, once I lived in the house, I had problems.

    Before I moved in, I complained about the hallway floor, and they did the best they could on fixing that. Not perfect, but it's better than it was. Being a cement slab, I can understand there are problems there. When I went to use my washing machine, water went everywhere except down the drain. They had to fix that. That was quite a mess. Last Friday, they didn't show up to do the job. Hopefully, Kelly got on their case. But they came Monday and got it done. It took a long time and a big mess in the process. But they fixed it and then put everything back like it was. Kelly said they will make sure they fit the drains in the laundry room really good next time from the rest of the home. That's an improvement there.

    I'm not pleased about how the toilet sits either. Because again the cement slab, they said that in order to get it to not wobble, they had to put wedges under it. It's not flat on the floor. Their construction is not as good as I thought it should be, especially for the price that they charged. Other than that, I like that I have a home. It's just the right size for me. My husband and I are older. We needed someplace with no steps. This is perfect for us in that way. We wanted to switch from the bathtub in our master bedroom's bathroom to a shower. But, of course, it's already built, so they couldn't do that.

    With the price of older homes being built like 1961, and you have to deal with the price which is well over 400,000, and pipes, roof, old heating and only one bathroom or a one-car garage, going with a new build was a no-brainer. I only saw Bryan from LGI Homes once. whenever I had any questions, I texted or called him.

    When all is said and done, it's a very nice house. We had to repeatedly request that the island be fixed properly because the board on the bottom was all split. It was only one of them, but still, it's a brand-new house. Do it right or go work elsewhere. And it took forever. But when we first went and looked at the house, had we not been there twice a week, we wouldn't have caught it and we would've had an extremely wobbly twisted island. Also, there was no doorbell. We just found out on Halloween. We're scratching our heads on that one. Nobody told us about the fact that there was no doorbell.

    Jason was the only person that did an inspection with us, which we thought was odd. It was on the day that we got the keys, on the 28th. The one and only inspection is on closing day. Because we only did that one walkthrough, we also found rough spots in the guest bathtub. We didn't see it when we did the walkthrough, so we need to contact them about that as well. Other than that, the community looks very nice. People are still moving in. We know our next-door neighbors, who are from a different development, but they're lovely. There would always be little issues here and there, but LGI Homes seemed to be right on top of it. Keep in mind that there are no upgrades or no downgrades. You can't change anything. But you're still getting a beautiful home.

    I was looking for a home. I knew the LGI homes were being built and they were done already a long time ago. I saw them on a billboard and thought of checking the houses out. However, the process was a little hard. LGI wanted me to go through their loan officer but their loan officer wasn't good. I never heard from him. I had to always be the one to reach out so I ended up getting my own loan officer. I felt like I had to go out of my way a lot of the times to close on the home. They gave me a lot of trouble and I think they did because I didn't go with their loan officer.

    The loan officer should update the customer instead of the customer having to reach out. LGI should give their customers an option if they wanna go with a different loan officer and don't make it feel like it's forced, like they have to go that route. But I liked the home. It was perfect. It was exactly how I wanted my first home to be. I was excited that it was a corner house. Everything about it seemed right.

We pulled the trigger because we were ready to get a home and we weren't really wanting to wait around. We weren't picky. We only looked at the one build and what appealed to us was the move-in date. The lease on our apartment was coming up and we wanted a nice home to move into. Financially, the decision made sense. Plus, the house was the cheapest one LGI had.

    We had a discussion with a guy and we did a walkthrough. LGI doesn't custom build and I understand why they don't. There were some things that I wanted to change and that maybe we could have done. But we were a little ahead of the game. It's just that it's kind of a struggle sometimes to find a place to plug things in. Also, I have a few things I need to have fixed. Otherwise, everything's pretty good. All in all, it worked out pretty well. To anyone considering LGI, check your email and be ready to sign stuff. There's gonna be a lot of communication from day one to the closing date.

    The purchasing process was very intense and there was a lot of paperwork. I understand that sometimes you need to renew the paperwork because it's outdated for some reason, but you could ask for the documentation on these one to two times. With LGI Homes, it was not like that. They told me that they needed this, then the next day, they retracted that and asked for another thing. Then, two days after we submitted that, they said that that was not what they needed and asked for a different one. But when we submitted that, they said they needed these other documents. I am not an expert on mortgages and I don't know how that worked, but it was very aggravating. Other than that, I've been on the house for six hours and I saw some minor constructions issues. But the house is on warranty, so I made a claim and they said they're going to come.

The house that they offered had everything that I wanted and it was in the price range that I wanted it to be in. So, I went with them. I dealt with two reps where one made the appointment and the other one, Dan, dealt with me when I went through the process. He was nice and I didn't have any issues with him. So far, I've been in my new home for a week and a half and when there is anything that I'm noticing, they've been very good about trying to come out and correct them.

    But when I was in the office one day, the gentleman that called me to schedule my appointment was there and I don't know if he was aware that I was in the office or not, but at the time, he was talking to a guy and had him on speakerphone. I heard the entire conversation and the guy specifically asked him if they had homes available in an area. The rep said yes and he told the guy to just come down to their location to meet with them. After he got off the phone, one of the other agents went in and asked if he just told the guy that they had homes available in that area and he said, "Yes. You just tell them what they wanna hear. And then when you get them, you sell them on the property where you actually have houses."

    I did not like that at all because it makes me feel like he did the same thing to me. Initially, I was looking in a different area and when I expressed that to him, he told me that they had homes there. But then, he showed a house in a different area. The only difference is that when I saw the house, I liked it and and I was open to moving to this area, even though it wasn't my ideal area to move into. Still, what he did is bad business practice and it can leave a bad taste in people's mouths about LGI Homes if they're being lied to and misled to think that they're just coming to talk with someone and they're going to get the home in the area that they're desiring to get when that's not the case.

    We had been working with LGI since early July. We were approved for a home. Took a picture with sold sign, and watch our home be built from the ground up. We jumped through every hoop. We gave there every piece of documentation they asked up for. We were set to close October 7th. We had our money in savings from closing. Two weeks before closing we were told the title company found a problem that would affect us getting the title for the house. We need to pay off a couple of credit card that had balances and a judgment. We quickly paid off the cards and withdrew funds from our retirement savings to pay off the judgment. We were assured by Danielle at LGI on Wed, September 30th that everything was in order and the judgment just needed to be handled before closing. Once the funds hit our accounts, Saturday, October 3rd, we were heading to the bank to get the money and planned to pay off the judgment Monday morning.

    We got a phone call early Saturday morning from Christian at LGI, that we should come in to discuss getting keys to another home, because our home had been put back on the market because of the judgment. We were devastated and blindsided. We worked with four different people during this process. None of them were ever on the same page. Instead of moving into our home last week, we spent the week unpacking boxes and undoing things that had been done to prepare us to move into our new home.

    I saw LGI Homes on Facebook and a new home was kind of what I was looking for. Some people say that it's a stressful process but I really couldn't say that. It wasn't a bad process for me at all. I met the guy the first time and he showed me the place. I sat on it for like an hour but I wasn't sure. After work the very next day, I went back. It was all of the stuff that was coming along with it. I’ve been trying for four year and this transition was so smooth so I thought it must be meant for me.

    The home was already built so that’s kind of not my own personal stuff that’s in there but when I first went to look at it, it was what I liked. However, I would have preferred a bigger closet in the master bedroom because I have a lot of stuff. Also, there aren't any extra things like any pools. It’s just one single block of townhomes. I was asking them about parking too. You get two or three spaces and that's it. I have a housewarming I’m thinking about having and after my 2 cars, there’s no visitors' parking.

    I've been looking at a lot of older homes but was unable to find what we wanted in the right price range with everything that we were really looking for. For the other homes we were looking at, the water heater’s old and we're probably gonna have to fix the furnace. It seemed the best bet was to go with a new home and we knew where LGI Homes was building at. We had looked at some pre-owned homes in that neighborhood but we never made it to the back of the property where the newer houses were. We kinda stumbled upon this house which wasn't meant for us. It was meant for someone else whose job got furloughed. It’s a new home and shouldn't have any issues with appliances, furnace, water heater, etc.

    It's not my first home so I've been through the process before. Everything they discussed with us and talked about as far as what would be covered and what wouldn't be covered in this new home was pretty thorough. It was overall a good experience. We have not officially moved in but the neighbors around me seem to take care of their lawns which is good. Things seem to be maintained.

    We were shopping for a home for about six months and we kept getting denied because everybody kept outbidding us so we just wanted to go with something easier. The home consultant was very knowledgeable about what he was selling and very descriptive of what the houses looked like. He was also very kind and understanding. The quality of the build was close to what I expected. I love the community I live in. It's just different for me. I’m not super satisfied ‘cause there's some imperfection, but nothing's perfect. We have a warranty. We told the guy about it and they said to just write it down and bring it up before our warranty’s over so they could take a look and fix it.

    Everything, for the most part, went well. We had a couple things that LGI got in and corrected most of them so far. Our sales rep was amazing. He still has been helping us on stuff that we hadn't been able to do. That was good. He has a very good energy about him. He works for us, not against us. The only thing is we had a issue with some of the wiring for our internet. Some of the wiring wasn't done correctly before the house was built so they had to come back out and redo wires so we can get internet. They should make sure that does get checked for future homeowners.

    Having a new build, I get a fresh start and a lot of those things I don't have to worry about for the first few years. I also don't have to worry about repairs and stuff that's left over from the previous owners. Then at that time, I had the loan amount that I wanted with LGI. Everything was smooth during the process. There were some things that they were supposed to come by and patch up and fix. They have a wooden bar that's right above the top of the attic. One has to almost crawl underneath it just to get through, which is a real nuisance. It's just not even safe. And then, there are some locations by the door where there are pieces missing that needed to be filled in. But, overall, I haven't had many issues. I like the walls. I also like the open space downstairs and I'm enjoying the little loft area that we have upstairs as well. It's a nice and quiet neighborhood. At this point in my first month, everything seems to be okay.

    LGI Homes had zero down special at the time. Drew, the home consultant, was great. We had a connection as soon as I walked through the door. Right now, the quality of the build is good, but I had some issues that I've missed on blue-taping day. In the first bathroom by the front door, the molding underneath by the floor came off. Then by the entry of the door, the light needed to be cleaned. There were bugs above that and it’s overlooked. They said they were gonna follow through. It's been over a month now. I followed up and it still hasn't been done. Then I didn't get a cleaning closet with this model. I also wish the stove was better. It's a flat top with the burners and when I cook on it, it just looks old already. But then I have a beautiful kitchen and it's the perfect size for me. I'm enjoying everything, just knowing I have my own space. It's a blessing from God. I'm very happy.

    We went and looked at one new build in another area but we weren't really finding what we were looking for as far as the layout of the house and what was available on the market. So, that pushed us in a direction to look for a new build and LGI happened to have pretty much exactly what we were looking for. We went to the office so we'd go take a look at the houses. That was when we were assigned an agent and he was very helpful. He took us out to the houses and he answered the questions that we had. It was a good experience until we got towards the end. Our finished date got pushed out a month and a half, and then towards the end, it was hard to get information out of the team as far as completion, where the construction was at.

    It seemed like a lot of misinformation and it was like the builder and LGI weren't on the same page or their contractor. When I called, it would be like, "Hey, we're waiting for the appliance to be installed." So I went out there, the appliances were installed. But we love the home. We're still struggling to get a few things finished and wrapped up that have been lingering out there as far as finishes and there are just some items that need to be taken care of that went wrong with the construction. But we really enjoy the community. There are a lot of families. We've got three kids and there are a lot of kids in the neighborhood, so that's really nice. The neighbors seem to be very nice too.

    My wife wanted a new house. We were living in Winter Haven at that moment and we decided to drive around looking for new communities. We made it all the way to Dundee. We saw the sign for LGI Homes and stopped in. As soon as I walked into the office, the service, the way the sales rep treats the people and the way they work with you, just convinced us to stay there. From the very beginning, our consultant said that he was there for us and would help us throughout the whole process and he kept his word. He kept up with us and helped us throughout the whole thing.

    We first picked a home. We were trying to go through VA loans and VA started acting up. It slowed down the process of the purchase. Then we went through FHA. So, by the time we got all the paperwork done with FHA, the house that we first picked got sold. So, we went ahead and found another one. My wife fell in love with the kitchen and the open concept, and so that was the one we decided to move into. It's a three-bedroom home and we love it. The community is extremely quiet. It’s very nice.

    When we closed, the house had just been built and that time the dryer vent got smashed and broken. But they came in the next day and fixed it. We didn't even realize they had fixed it. We also called the guys for the cabinet that was broken and they answered the very next day. We set up a date and now we're just waiting for them to come in and replace the whole cabinet.

We addressed them to a person that I've seen once and for one hour and we were told they were gonna be repaired and fixed. No one's ever showed up for that though. I called and he never answered. I didn't bring the matter to the office yet, but I would love for the issues to be fixed as soon as possible. Other than that, I am satisfied with LGI. I didn’t wanna make any extra repairs, so we went with a new build and now, there's no more work needed to maintain it.

    I had an awesome experience with LGI. I went with a new build for longevity. It's something that I wanted to leave for my kids and family without them having a headache. I had to treat myself as well, so why I would I go with an older home and redo things when I could just buy a new one and just do it? I'm a supervisor for a management group, and one of the residents on a property where I work was telling me about LGI. I went by myself to go ahead and do some research and I went up there and talked to them.

    The whole staff was very helpful and everybody was amazing, including Steve (the person that helped me close out on the house alone) as well as Alexi (the original lady that I talked to). Alexi helped me personally in terms of my credit to get me approved, and she improved me as a person financially. They were both awesome. I also kept an eye on the build weekly to see the different steps that they took, and everything that they did was correct and well put together.

    When we did the inspections, I told the contractor exactly what was wrong with the house, and he didn't do anything to fix anything. He told me he did, and then he didn't. We moved in, and the house was the same. There were little details that we told them we didn't like and he said he was able to fix them before we moved in. He cleaned the corners to make it seem he fixed some, but he really didn't. There was this big piece of wire in my backyard. He told me he was gonna cut it, and I said cut it, but he didn't. There were also a couple scratches in my walls, and he didn't fix them. I was trying to reach out to get the information of the tile from the house to know the name so I can purchase it, he never responded to me.

    As a new homeowner, I can't help if I went to the office and they were like, "Yeah, you're gonna have to contact the contractor." I already did and he didn't help me. What was I supposed to do then, message him again? I understand he has a lot on his plate, but he told me he was gonna give me all the information of the tile so I could get it on my own and he didn't. I'm here stuck trying to match the same tile. This has been a lot. He just wiped it. I paid for the house and there are a lot of things that I'm not happy with. LGI is great though. The people from the LGI office have been great and we didn't have any issues, but the contractors were terrible. I'm so unhappy with the contractors and the house in general.

I would call Carl and email and text him when I had questions and it was a great experience. What I did in the beginning too was I read some reviews from other folks and it was scary and frightening. Of the things they were saying, they mentioned how when something went wrong, nobody was ever there to fix it. We've had a few minor issues, but we've always had someone to come. When we first moved in, we didn't have a refrigerator, but that was our choice to go on and move forward without it being there. The quality of the home is good. I didn't know if we would’ve been able to have any input as to what we wanted, but I guess not.

    We've been in the community since September 11th and it seems to be nice and quiet, but there's nothing to do. I have grandkids, so when they come over, it’s boring. When we first came out, we were told that they were gonna put a park in the center, but there hasn’t been one yet. This is my first time ever purchasing a home and and it went the way it’s supposed to go. In the beginning, I was a little skeptical because of the way it was moving so quickly, and we were approved.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We were moving here from out of state and the process was very easy. No real major complaints about the house (upstairs carpet is pretty cheap, "recessed lighting" is actually puck lights...) But the real kicker is that we were told we would get a "resort style pool" for our neighborhood of over 200 houses and it would be ready by Memorial Day. Turns out the pool as planned and verified by permits and also verified with the actual fire marshal for our county can only hold 16 people at a time. We only found this out right before construction began - which was last week. They had no plans to build the pool by Memorial Day - they said at the time they weren't doing anything not already permitted due to Covid and downturn of economy but we found lots of new permits being submitted for new construction of homes!!! Also the "clubhouse" is an approx 800sqft structure housing 2 bathrooms and a pump room. Some people were also told by sales reps they could have sheds which is against our CC and Rs. The roads are in horrible repair and there are no current plans to fix them for the residents. Anyways - just be aware that they use sales tactics and slippery words (like resort style - doesn't have an actual meaning or definition but elicits a certain picture in the mind) to make it sound better than it is. They have since changed the pool description on the LGI website to "community pool" since we started getting upset. Get everything in writing and ask for actual definitions - which you probably won't get. I was excited but now that I've been here for nearly a year, I'm so over LGI and wouldn't recommend unless you have the time and energy to fact check everything they tell you. Also be prepared to be ignored by LGI after you close. Yeah, you can submit warranty requests but they aren't even being acknowledged right now "due to covid" but there's no word about how these are going to be handled moving forward - extend our warranties? Honor any requests put in prior to the 1 year date? No idea and LGI won't tell us because they don't talk to us anymore. We're to go through the property management company who then asks LGI but that is a whole other trainwreck... Communication is very much lacking. Anyways - 2 stars because the house is ok and the actual purchasing process was pretty smooth. Everything else is not ok.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I was riding through Windermere Pharmacy and there was a brochure they handed out about LGI. I went with them and everybody was real pleasant. The rep explained everything in detail. They kept me up-to-date and worked with me real well. Even when I decided that I wanna give up, they hung in there with me. The quality is nice. The house stays cool in the inside and I like that.

    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.

    Everything was wonderful with LGI Homes. The Realtor I dealt with lured me to the LGI Homes. Also, I'm a licensed electrician. I've been in the game 20 years, so I'm kinda familiar with this whole process. I always did follow LGI Homes because I worked for different type of builders and all types of different homes throughout my years of being an electrician. I saw the work they did and the type of houses. I give LGI a high rating. Everything that we dealt with was good, and I really had no problem with the process.

    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.

    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.

They’ve been out here three different times and it's still doing the same thing. It’s been a week since the last time I put an order in. The first time, it was like the switch has just slipped.

    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've been in the house for two weeks today and they said I got 30 days to look over everything then give them a report. It's got little stuff which wasn't discussed during the walkthrough but if it's not urgent, they're not doing anything right now due to COVID and I can definitely understand. The community is nice and very quiet. I do have a furbaby so the doggy park was fine. She seems to like that. I don't have any neighbors right now so that's good too. They're still building.

    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. So far, I like the style and the way the house was built. The inside is very nice too. It's a little different from where we are moving from.

    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.

    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.

    They did the closing really quickly. They are much better than any other company. It's built a lot better than other new builders that I went to. They're bigger and nicer. I decided to go with them because they are energy savers. I'm also very satisfied with the amenities. I love the community as well. It's very peaceful. Everything was really good. I'm happy.

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. They worked with me, they talked to me and they never missed a beat on communicating with me the whole time through email, text, and calls.

    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.

    My friend was looking at older builds, but then we found out about the same price range for a newer one, so we went with LGI. I first heard about them by Deana D. and Casey D. 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.

    I wanted to get a brand new home and they had a really good deal. My Realtor found the place and then we liked it when we first got there. We worked with Mariana and she was welcoming and she worked my needs. It’s a brand new community. But I would like for them to put more street lights. The whole neighborhood is dark. There’s no lights in the parking lot and there’s no lights in the common shared sidewalk with the houses. It’s all dark at night so it’s hard for people to find houses if they are trying to go over to your house at night. Walking along dark sidewalks is not welcoming. The amenities are good but they should install a pool somewhere. Overall, my experience was good from the beginning until the end.

    LGI's rep did a good job. Whenever I had a question, he answered it. Going with them was a lengthy process but it was easy. However, now that I have my home, there are parts that I feel are a little cheap. The way that the island in my kitchen was put in was crooked. It wasn't finished. LGI's crew had to come back to put that in. Plus, there is one window that is cracked. While I know that LGI will come to fix it, I want everything to be in tiptop shape as a buyer. It seemed that LGI got the cheapest things they could get. I wouldn't be proud if I were the owner of the company. Still, I'm pleased with the house and overall, I have a nice neighborhood. Their rep is still in contact with me and he is checking to make sure everything is okay with the house I got.

    At first, LGU Homes rep, Kyle came out a little strong and I talked to him about it. He knew the home was gonna be gone in a day and I thought he was pressuring me. But we got along very well and he had been with me through the whole process. He was very knowledgeable. Everybody from LGI Homes that I dealt with took a personal interest. They realized that I was eligible and that I was going to make sure that I got what was promised me. They were always open to take my calls and answer questions, e-mails and texts. The responses were always very quick. They worked really well with my team of mortgage lenders and insurance people, so the process for me was very smooth.

    I’ve been very happy with my home. Initially, I understand that I bought one that amounts to a starter 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. Overall, I got what I was expecting and that wouldn't always happen when you buy a home or when you deal with large businesses.

    We drove in at LGI and they opened the door during COVID, so we got a one-on-one experience and it all went uphill from there. The purchase process was good. Right then and there, they showed us the best house on the block. They showed us the five-bedroom and then they showed us the four-bedroom and three-bedroom. We went with the five-bedroom and I'm satisfied with the purchase. They were in a contract with a mortgage company and they gave a $7,000 credit. It was all legit and there was no shady business. Everything was honest and did background checks on each other. It was a smooth process from going into the contract to closing.

    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."

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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 were very nice and very helpful. The quality of the home is really good. I really love it. I like the community. It's very quiet and the neighbors are friendly. The only thing about the home is that I was trying to fix things that when I went to the walkthrough but they haven't done anything yet. The outside of the home is not painted evenly. I noticed it and people that come over to my home noticed it as well. I'm waiting for them to see if they can come in and do a little touch up with paint and fixing a couple of things like the drawers. They won't close correctly and they get jammed. Also, the floor had a crack and my daughter's toilet has a crack on each side on the floor.

    I was looking for a new, single-story house and there were several companies that were building those houses. We went and looked at three of them. I saw a housing development on Zillow and found out that it was LGI. We looked at a lot and the house that we like was gonna be built on the lot but we didn't like the lot. We walked away and started looking at existing houses in another area of town.

    Then, someone else's financing fell through and that's how we got this house because we liked it a lot better. It was the model of house that we wanted. But the soil in North Carolina is red clay and we have some drainage issues. We're gonna have to talk with the builder about that 'cause with all the rain we've had these last two weeks, our lawn is mushed. But all in all, we're happy with our home.

    I got LGI Horse Estates through my mailer. I spoke to the rep who was very nice but it was just too far. Then I looked at their Forney home and I talked to a couple of guys there and they were really nice too. Then Shady Oaks came up. I went online and called them. My final salesman was Maurell and he was great. When I agreed on the location, the process went pretty fast and I was moved in within two weeks.

    I was looking for a rental or buying and I found LGI in Craigslist. I liked the neighborhood and the area, and they were the ones building there. During the building process, the reps were on time but the brand-new house wasn’t built right. We did the walk-around before I closed and we marked all the issues. Then, when they fixed them, they were very dirty and everything had to be cleaned. When they framed a bunch of stuff or when they put the drywall on, it was not straight. 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. You can tell that it was built quickly and with not much attention to detail. There’s also a piece of roof in the back that they're gonna come back to fix because it’s really out of whack.

    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 wasn’t able to do it at that time, but they gave me the guidelines of what to do to come back and get a house. So, I did what I had to do. 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. I have some security cameras just for safety and to be able to help my neighbors with any kind of issues. But definitely a good neighborhood so far.

    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.

    It been awesome with LGI Homes. We moved into our new house over a month ago now and we're so happy. My dad who's in another state sent me an email that there were new homes in our area in Florida for a pretty good price. We went to the LGI Homes office to check it out and we didn't even know it was going to be a possibility. I was like, "Wait. So we can actually get a new house?"

    Rebecca was awesome. She was always checking on us on top of everything. She's actually the reason why we came to this neighborhood. We had come here a while ago and we hadn't heard anything back from our consultant. But when Rebecca started, she called us and said, "Hey, how did everything go? I see you came. What happened?" 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.

    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.

    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.

    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'm having problems with the build of the house. The water tank was leaking in the garage. Little spiders were coming up in the shower in the master bedroom. Garbage disposal stopped working. I also didn’t have hot water for three days. So, for the one wall, they had to tear it out to rebuild the shower and fix the hot water tank. The purchasing process was nice. But just signing papers, they forgot some of it. I had to go back and sign them and so there was a lot going on. I won’t recommend.

    There are more incentives that go with a new build. You know that at least you’re not going to start repairing things when you get in, there's a warranty that it comes with, and also knowing that you are the one who is actually starting off in this new building is also a good thing. Our home consultant from LGI, Daniel, is excellent. He’s attentive and I feel like he was listening to my needs and what I was wanting, and he was working towards that.

    Now that I’m in, I’m seeing little things. If LGI had a quality improvement personnel, they could have gone in to do some more detailed walkthrough to see the little things that I’m seeing. If LGI could implement like a quality improvement personnel before the potential buyer will actually move in, that would be awesome. But all these things that I’ve been tagging are fixed. Our home is good. The area is good, too.

    My mom was helping me look for a house and stumbled across LGI. We set an appointment and when we did the walkthrough, everything seemed okay. I like the fact that the house we looked at was spacious. The kitchen has a marble top and I really like that. The pantry is big too. It's for me and my growing family and what had sold me was the loft that was upstairs. It gives the kids an extra playroom, so they're not tearing stuff up downstairs. That’s the best thing. I really like the loft and then the process was quick. My process wasn't the best though. It was the first house I looked at and I didn't get to look around. I had a couple of hiccups in the road with the customer service and at one point, I wanted to back out and they were rude about it. I felt forced into the home that I’m in, but at the end of the day, I like it, so it all worked out.
