This review is for The Retreat at River's Edge (RARE) in Kelso. From the moment I started working…read morewith Stephanie Nelson, I knew I was in good hands. She goes above and beyond to ensure a positive customer experience. When bumps in the construction road became bumpy (as they always do in any construction project), she ran out ahead and removed the bumps. She is true to her word and gets things done. The huge design center has so many options, it can be overwhelming. But the designers there (I worked with Karen), were kind, patient and very helpful in helping to design my dream home. As a result, I have now lived in my home on the River for over a year and couldn't be happier in this development. They run a clean job so even with other houses being built around me, it doesn't feel like I'm in a construction zone. My year warranty was handled quickly and effectively. Billy did a great job with it and scheduled everything around my work needs since I work out of the home. My home is gorgeous and exactly what I wanted.

Absolute worst experience ever for a "supposed" custom home builder on Oregon…read more Looked at lots in Oregon City and our sales woman lied to us about where the property lines were, septic drains fields, what was proposed to be built on adjoining properties and easement through the proposed property property. Heavy sales pressure to sign a construction contract and put down money without answering questions. Couldn't get around the sales woman to somebody above her to get answers. If you're dealing with this builder, make sure you go to Clackamas County and talk to the survey department, engineering department, land-use planning department and building department about the property/lot you might be interested in to see if it's actually what Garrette says it is. BUYER BEWARE!

BEWARE OF EXTERIOR PAINT: We have lived NT home for 16mos…read moreand noticed the exterior paint on a south wall was very thin. We contacted New Trad and we were told that they would touch up a small area but it probably wouldn't match because of the age. We found out that NT uses only 1 coat of paint (~1.5 mil dry) on the exterior. The paint mfg recommends 2 coats 3 mil dry.

Even though we arrived without an appointment, Kevin -- the Sales Specialist-- was incredibly patient and took the time to truly listen to our needs. He explained every option clearly and made sure we understood each step of the process. His communication skills were exceptional. After visiting several new‑home builders, we both felt that Kevin from NTH provided the best experience by far. If the location had been a better fit for us, we would have chosen NTH for our next home without hesitation.

Worst of the worst. Got the runaround in trying to purchase a home for over a year. When all the…read moreducks were lined up, I was told to put up $1,000 to "hold the house and it was "fully refundable". The financing was denied because I didn't have the first month's payment in the bank. A fact I wasn't told. Tried again and was required to put up $2,900 down payment. When asked about the $1,000 I had already given LGI, the salesperson, Parmeet Singh, said. "Oh, that money is gone." A den of thieves. Fortunately, my $2,900 deposit was returned by WFG National Title Company. But, the $1,000........

I highly recommend Pacific Lifestyle especially if you are not local. We lived in Boston and…read moredecided to retire back to the Portland/Vancouver area and made 8 trips over 1 year and selected the SiEllen Farms development on the greenbelt. 3 members of the Pacific Team (Vicky Thompson, Patrick Klein, and Billy Alley) made the process of home selection, details on options, costs, and lot selection seamless resulting in a perfect finished product. Their attention to detail and support thru calls, photos, videos, and conference calls saved us many thousands of dollars in trips to the homesite. Also, when we moved into the house the Pacific Team members we there to assist and resolve some of the mistakes we made in cosmetic selections and also resolved a number of other small corrections immediately. This is rare for a production builder and most "don't know you" after the ALTA closing statement, but I can say today (4 months after closing) that the people listed above, Pacific Management, and their major subcontractors have been there for us every time!

They are terrible. Dealing with their warranty coverage is like pulling teeth and takes much to…read morelong to resolve. From leaking roofs to mold problems and poor construction the problems keep occurring year after year. I can't figure out how some people give glowing reviews. Perhaps it is because they spent so much money and their homes are fairly new before the problems start.

Highly Recommend ZABOSS CONCEPTS INC!…read more Working with ZABOSS CONCEPTS INC has been an absolute pleasure. They are true professionals when it comes to custom home building--delivering high-quality, modern, and extremely efficient homes. What really stood out to me was how punctual, organized, and easy they were to work with. Every step of the process was smooth and well-communicated, which made what could've been a stressful experience feel exciting and manageable. If you're looking for a builder that combines craftsmanship with reliability and a forward-thinking approach, look no further. ZABOSS is the real deal!

No mask wearer here.. Parameet was late after asking us to be early, and then tried to blame us…read morefor being too early. I need to add here, that we spoke with him the day before this appointment was made and I stated then what our situation was as I didn't want to waste our time or their time. He assured me that it would not be a waste of time and that there were "tons of programs available" for first time home buyers and that there was no need to put this off just because we didn't have much to put down. So back to today, Saturday, 26th, 2020: We walk in early as planned, and he is running late. He tries to accuse us, somewhat nicely, that he isn't running late, and aren't we a little early? He mentioned it twice.. I should have walked out then. Then during our conversation, he asked me a question about something and I looked at my husband to ask him for some clarification on a point that I was trying to get across, and Parameet says.." no no,, I am asking you.. you can look at me".. I was so shocked and my husband was very upset by his treatment of me. So with other people listening in, Parameet goes on and on about what is wrong with our situaiton, like we didn't know already, and that it turns out there really isn't "tons of programs" to help us out and that we really did just waste our time here. My husband asked how much of a down payment would be needed, and Paremeet said around 9000.. is about the average.. My husband said that he thought he saw a sign that said $0 down.. and Parameet quickly answered that was for Vets. This guy totally disrespected me and humiliated my husband in front of everyone there by talking very loudly about our financial situation and now they all know how much he makes, that I don't work, really? you don't work at all? Well.. it's a long story and if I'd known that was going to be requirement I would have passed up this appointment altogether. He already had the financial information so why he wanted us to meet with him knowing that he wasn't going to be able to help; is not ethical and professional at all as far as I am concerned. Maybe they do help a lot of people.. the ones that have the money and are not plagued with divorce mishaps and ill health. Avoid the humiliation if you don't have good credit and a sizeable down payment, they don't treat you very well. You can actually do the same with a real estate agent and not have to go through the embarrasment of being herded through an oversized living room and having everyone else know your personal business.

Be warned, the sales associate here is EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. If I could leave zero…read morestars I would. Absolutely horrible customer service at the Lennar Lacamas Prairie home site. Walked in around 12 to view the model homes and were promptly told "we're closed". Even though there was a sales associate there. I then started to ask if I could just take a quick look at the model when I was rudely interrupted by the woman and basically told to get out. I was with my mother who lives here in Vancouver but I live in Austin, TX and I can tell you neither of us have EVER been treated so disrespectfully in any other home sites I have ever been to. I will work hard to make sure myself or none of my friends and acquaintances ever buy a Lennar home if this is how you treat customers. Absolutely insane.
