Our experience with Pulte has been Terrible!
We were Indirectly FORCED to sign a Contract on Lot that was not IDEAL to us, as they couldn’t make any other LOT Open/Available.
Anyway, fast forward, we recently signed the contract and our home is now beginning to construct. Now Pulte has a promotion for new customers which includes a 50% discount on lot premiums, which means you can GET bigger Lot, with cheaper Price, better location/privacy. So they literally DEVALUED our Property which is 6months away from CLOSING DATE (JUNE 2023).
We contacted the regional VP who declined our request to give us the same promotion (50% OFF the Lot), or any other discount, as we already SIGNED the contract. Imagine losing 5% of your HOME VALUE before it’s even closed (6months OUT).
I was told we are having "Buyer Remorse". Yes, off course after losing $20k and built has barely started.
I know other BUILDERS that has provided incentives for previous customers due to promotions like this, however Pulte is NOT one of these builders.
FYI this community DOESN’T have FENCE/BARRIER separating the LOT from the CORN Fields which was a Safety risk as some WILD Animal (Hiding in the CORN FIELD) could Barage into your LOT. Imagine your kids playing in the backyard.
If we could go back in time, we would have never signed a contract with Pulte, however for you I have the FREE ADVISE below:
• FIRST thing DO NOT BUY FROM PULTE
• SECOND, if you do. Please JOIN the FACEBOOK Pulte Group which is not OWNED by Pulte. It has over 5K Users that are Building with Pulte, people from this community and others across U.S to learn about what you're getting yourself into.
• Before WALKING in for estimate/pricing make sure to bring a Realtor, it DOESN’T cost you anything extra as the Seller pays for the cost. They DON’T WANT you to know that and they will NOT allow to ADD the Realtor after your FIRST appointment. At least you will have someone (FREE) to guide you with options & Lot, going through contract, and someone who has experience with Pulte tricks.
• They will INDIRECTLY pressure you to SIGN ASAP by saying “This is LIMITED time DEAL” or “LOTS are getting SOLD” or “PRICES are going UP”, so you don’t get enough time to THINK and look around. They will raise the home MSRP price monthly however, the promotions i mentioned above will still be a 10X better deal.
• Always Remember you’re dealing with the “SALES PERSON” who wants your Signature to get COMMISSION.
• Read the CONTRACT, it’s just ONE SIDED (Pulte). Not a SINGLE Line to accommodate the BUYER, just so you know.
• DO NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT until you’re 100% sure that you agree to the terms & conditions.
• Watch them **DEVALUE** your HOME (after you sign), by running Much Better DEALS like FREE LOT, 50% on Lot or Options etc.
• Ask about the BAD QUALITY/Experience reviews. Pulte will tell you it’s OLD Contractors or Fake, those are real PEOPLE who bought homes with Pulte. They are living in this community. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
