Purchase a new Home in Malind Bluff, Bluffton SC. Should have known I would have problem when the keys provided at closing failed to open any doors. My real mistake was to trust but not verify. I thought Pulte was a reliable firm that would stand by their verbal and written commitments regard the property, and not resort to a Buyer Beware mentality. Deceptive Sales Practices: 1. During the sale in July 2022 Pulte’s Sales Agent said the backyard extended to Pritcher Point Road, a dirt road that borders the property. 2. At the final inspection in December 2022 Pulte’s construction manager commented on the nice size backyard and confirmed to us it extended to Pritcher Point Road. 3. After moving in we notified Pulte’s HOA about a large dead Pine tree that bordered Pritcher Point Road, They wrote to us (email – Feb. 15, 2023) that the tree was on our property and therefore our problem. When we requested permission to put up a fence; suddenly Pulte is pointing to a Plot (poorly drawn diagram) saying we were lied to by their agents and the property line is actually 13 feet from Pritcher Point Road. Pulte’s ascertain is forget what you were told you should have been able to interpret the drawing Pulte provided. Selective enforcement The most annoying part is the HOA has granted variances to other homeowners to construct their fences either bordering Pritcher Point Road (see picture) or very close to the road. For whatever reason the HOA is telling us previous correspondence that the property extended to the road is incorrect and that they have now designated it ‘Common Area’. They also said that we are now under surveillance by the HOA. This was to be our retirement home. Pulte sent notices that they were inspecting homes on Monday, so I mowed my lawn Sunday. After mowing I jokingly told me wife, we would get a violation anyway. Sure enough we received a violation notice Monday that it was not property mowed or edged. Now when I see the Community Manager driving around taking pictures, I tell my wife we are going to receive another violation. My wife and I have seriously discussed moving due to what we feel are the lies and harassment by Pulte. The problem is that home values in this community have actually declined. A home across the street from us originally sold in Oct 2022 for $582,000, now it’s listed at $550,000.
