Chris, I can not…read moresing your praises enough! Thank you so much for everything throughout my home buying experience. I have already given your name and contact to multiple people. I felt from the beginning (long long ago...) you were "my guy" and I am glad I was right. We love the house and are slowly making it a home. There are plenty of nuances and ever changing variables in the housing market that requires great attention to detail, urgency, and knowledge. That said, you were always ready for anything that came our way and I LITERALLY could not have done it without you. Chris, you are a master of your field and trade. You genuinely care about people and helping them on their journey to home ownership. I thank you for making that difference in my life. It is a big deal.

I would like to share my exp with this builder…read more Purchased our first home hoping a "new construction home" wouldn't have the issues an older home would but boy were we wrong. After a year and a half we had our first issue. DSLD did not install a flange around our shower drain. This allowed all the water from our shower to go around the drain pipe and pool under the shower. We had a bad mold smell. We called DSLD and they sent a rep out to take moisture readings in the bathroom and master bedroom. He said it was 22% and this is normal. Fast forward a few months and the shower cracked on the floor. It was a fiberglass mobile home style one piece shower they installed. I called an independent repair company to inspect and quote a repair. He told me a flange wasn't installed and there is a lot of water damage. Long story short. I had to contact an attorney and inform DSLD of my legal action before they offered a check of $2,300. What it would cost them to demo and replace the shower. Not trusting DSLD I hired a contractor to do the job right. $6,000 in water damage was repaired, no waterproofing behind the shower surround (my contractor waterproofed it while doing construction) and he put the correct flange around the floor drain. (By the way when I showed DSLD the flange photos they said they don't follow Louisiana building codes they follow federal codes). My contractor laughed and said EVERY plumber in any state knows a flange is required to divert water into the drain. $10,800 later my shower now works and the mold smell has gone after the water cleanup was complete. Next issue was our garage and back doors not lining up and opening on their own. DSLD sent a rep out to do a repair. This involved beating the catch with a hammer. Truly blown away by their workmanship. Again. I had to go buy new catches, red roll and realign my doors myself. Due to the moisture that builds in the bathrooms I wanted to install larger CFM fans. Due to DSLD putting the cheapest $30 fans available I can not upgrade them without cutting into the ceiling and installing a new unit vs replacing with a larger bathroom fan. What should be $100 job is now about $600. I had the breaker trip for my kitchen outlets on multiple occasions. After the third time DSLD sent a rep out they finally replaced just the breaker. It happened again so I hired a reputable local electrical contractor. He found 4 breakers in our Breaker Panel with wires hanging and not properly screwed in. He said he is surprised our house hasn't burned down. He went through both breakers and properly secured all my connections. We have used our guest bathroom maybe 10 times in the 3 years we have loved here. The trim that holds the tub to the wall is pulling away and you can see a line all around the tub. My other option for the bathroom moisture is to install a sliding "opening" Bathroom Window. Nope again. DSLD put a fixed custom size window in. I had 3 contractors come out and none of them wanted to touch it. They said the only way to put a sliding window in to cut into the frame, reinforce it and install a standard size window instead of DSLD one off size that no one carries. While looking at the bathroom fan to upgrade it I noticed small bulges in several places in the ceiling. One bulge is cracking so upon looking they are screw that are poking through the ceiling and now damaging the paint. I went into my laundryroom the other day to start laundry and saw an 8"x2" piece of paint on the floor. I looked up and saw white tape along the edge of the wall and ceiling that is falling off. I can't believe paint would fail in 3 years in a room used once a week. I have several spots in my floor that are peeling. They are little slivers about 2-3" long and as thin as a toothpick. We have no kids and only wear slippers inside. We truly hoped for $201,000 we would be getting a home with no major hiccups or repairs to this extent needed. I understand things happen but this house has been a nightmare. Due to the way the warranty dept handles these "I'm told- What do you want me to do about it". Great attitude instead of let's look into this and see what we can do for your $201,000 you spent with us. The year warranty is laughable as I get a longer warranty with a used car. I will never buy from DSLD again after my experience. I hope anyone who sees this review will help them in making an informed decision of what they are buying.

It resulted in an 11th hour decision by me to contribute money to the buyer's closing cost, or else the sale would have probably been aborted. I rescinded that review after meeting Mr. Crocker at the closing. He seemed to be a nice person and very competent. He provided a partial explanation of what happened and why it happened. However, that verbal discourse carried no weight in my effort to recover some of my additional expense from the property manager that failed on several fronts - the root cause of the above referenced impact. In that context, I submitted yet another YELP review on that real estate company (the property manager) who was the source for causing the scenario to unfold as it did. My only possible recourse is to now take some legal action against the property manager, and use the discovery process and/or subpoenas to get the necessary documents and testimony to support the legal proceeding.
