Worst homebuilder in town. Wouldn't recommend the subpar, cheap, and crappy homes they build after what we have been through. They stand by absolutely nothing they put their name on. Did I mention how incredibly bad they are? Absolutely horrible... read more

Tips for buying a Mobley house: 1. Consider any other builder first. This is a terrible company with poor communication that uses intimidation to push through shoddy craftsmanship. Example: We requested a repair of a wall after the building manager had ignored my emails for weeks and then tiled over the drywall. Our original blueprint said to have the showerhead centered over the niche, but did not specify where on the wall the niche would go. We, being first time builders, assumed they would do it in a way that make sense, and didn't think to second guess this. As a result, they put the niche far down the wall so the two showerheads sprayed in more or less the same area, and yet it was per the contract because the showerhead was "centered over the niche." The only time we heard from Marc Mobley he said "If they didn't make the selection and are filing false claims with the BBB [I filed a TRUE claim with the BBB], then we need to cancel the contract. Please let me know where to wire the deposit funds, and I will do it today." As in, "if they continue to fight us on it we will just take the house from them." 2. Unfortunately, Mobley knows it's a bad company, so he buys in places people want to live. If you want the lot, you are married to this builder. In this scenario, the best option is to pay Mobley as little money as possible. During the build, we had to remind and prove that we had paid for major upgrades that were not being done. The details in our house are shoddy - the drywall, the paint around outlets, the joining in the floor, the molding, it all looks as you'd expect, like it was done by people who don't care about quality, just the number of houses finished. I recommend taking credits for things during the build and finding a better company to come do it for you cheaper and better after close. You can also negotiate upgrade money into your contract price (even at the housing explosion peak 2021, we got 20k in there, so I am sure you can do better). This is free money they give you toward all the things beyond the "Mobley standard." 3. Protect yourself. Hire an independent inspector, take photos, and demand photographs of the fixes. It was incredibly satisfying when our building manager answered a question with "yeah I don't know, that just happens," and our independent inspector was able to say "no, this happens because there was a mistake during install." Also have your realtor walk through the house with you as often as they are willing. Bring them on your blue tape day to notice shoddy workmanship. Regarding blue tape day - bring a marble to check your floors, bring a phone charger to check outlets, and take your own notes. Check EVERYTHING. 4. You have a grace year where they are still responsible for their errors. We got a LOT fixed in that time. A few examples: All our toilets were backing up and gurgling, there were multiple large holes left in drywall with smaller nicks around outlets and light fixtures. Caulking had not been re-touched and in some places had not been done at all. Tiles were installed upside down. The flooring people came back no less than 5 times to fix warping and pulling up from the foundation, and the floors are still uneven. At one point Kirk and our manager Reg came to our house and said that "Everything was to code." Not only did they not even bring a measuring tape into the house, but they couldn't actually tell me what code standards were. After further research, it was not to code. This could have been a lawsuit, but I just had them give me the materials to fix it myself. Be vigilant. We had a leak in our roof appear at 16 months after close, but since it was after 12 months, Kirk simply ignored emails and phone calls. 5. Know thy enemy. Even after dealing with them for 18 months, I don't know how much of it was malice and how much was ineptitude. As long as you know that they will try to take advantage of you at every turn, you can stay on top of them. Good luck. read more

Mobley Homes is the worst builder in South Tampa. We were so excited and thought it would be our dream home, but everything turned opposite direction. I should read the reviews before dealing with them, but now I know who they are. They won't even do what is in the contract. They try to save money for everything and use least expensive products to build your house, even you have contract multi million dollar house. Beware South Tampa Home buyers run away from this builder. read more

They use the cheapest contractors.thing break months after closing. Cheap product for how much they charge.

If the residents at The Villas at Twin Lakes all came together to write about Mobley Homes, we'd easily be able to compile a book about how awful they are. You can knock on any one of our doors and we will ALL willingly tell you why you should avoid these people. They put lipstick on a pig when they rope you into the process of buying a new home. They'll tell you how wonderful it is, how amazing and exciting it is to build from scratch and pick out everything YOU want for your "dream home." We signed our contract June 2018 with our closing date "tbd 2018," and we officially closed in June 2019 (with notice of closing only a couple days before the actual closing date). You will be constantly strung along throughout the entire process. They will tell you "oh just another month," over and over and over. They will never be 100% honest throughout the process. The agents are just pawns in the horrible board game with no end that is named Mobley Homes. The agents will tell you things that are inaccurate so do not trust what is told to your face. You will never hear from the production manager until you get an attorney involved. I'm not the only one in the community who had the wrong things installed and were told "well this is what you picked," when it wasn't. The work sites are literally the most disgusting that I've seen before and I used to sell new construction homes. The work sites are littered with garbage and you will definitely find beer bottles littered throughout. Don't dare to mention that you'll be leaving reviews anywhere because you will be threatened with a lawsuit. Since we've moved in we've had a recessed can light leak into the kitchen and it took them almost a week to get anyone out here. It took going above the site manager's head to get people out here. Even then we had 3 people come out with no clue that other people had come out to look at it. We've had hot water and cold water lines swapped in the foundation. I had scorching hot water in 2 of my toilets, my fridge water line and a spigot in the back yard. Most recently we had to shut off the water to the house because our master bathroom shower had sewage backing up into it. Come to find out several people were having issues because nobody thought to turn on the pump station to the neighborhood. A neighbor across the street had her entire house flood from a waterline not being properly capped. All of her furniture is damaged. We've been in since June and the top peak of the house has trim/slatted wood features that still have not been painted. When you do your walkthrough, don't you dare mark every scuff or spot of missing paint on the walls (including holes, missing caulk, etc) you we be told by your agent and the site manager that you are "Nitpicking." (We found out we were not the only ones who were told they were "nitpicking," their "Luxury Home.") Most of your outlets and switches with be completely crooked and the plates will not be flush to the wall (this includes air vents). DO NOT CLOSE WITH AN INCOMPLETE PUNCHLIST. They will make you sign an addendum stating they will complete it in 30 days. If you complain, it'll all just get rerouted to the site manager who will knock on your door after getting out of his truck for the first time that day and you will know you're inconveniencing him because there will always be some sort of snarky remark about you or another neighbor he's just left. You will get strung along by them and their inconsistent and unreliable sub contractors. Half the time they won't even show up when scheduled. Their excuse for not completing things will always be "well we don't have enough subs." (You can even look on Google reviews and see that people are consistently left with an incomplete punchlist). If they even finish things on the punchlist it will only be done at your inconvenience because with Mobley, the client does not matter. My favorite thing is probably the lack of professionalism between the people that work at this company. The agents will trash talk each other, they will trash talk the site manager, they all trash talk the production manager. These people are clearly just don't care. There is no fluent communication between ANY of them whatsoever. We complained several times about this and clearly nothing has changed and will never change. I've heard from at least 4 of their employees that (this community being their first time attempting villas) this project of theirs got away from them. How comforting is that to hear during the process of building a new home? The only thing Mobley CAN do right is keep their warranty manager around, Bo is the only good thing about this company. When my inspector came in for final inspection, I was beyond embarrassed that I went through with building with Mobley. He said this is possibly the worst quality new construction house he's ever inspected. I'd say this was the biggest mistake we've made, especially as first time homeowners. read more

We built a home with Mobley in 2018/2019. It was not a good experience at all. We had problem after problem before, during and after construction. I would not recommend this builder to anyone. We have been in our home 5 months and have had constant issues with almost every trade in the house. Mobley ruined what should have been a wonderful experience. read more

Mobley Homes is failing to honor their warranty. We have had a significant AC issue since we closed on our home 1 year ago that is costing us hundreds of dollars a month in increased electric costs trying to keep our home cool. We cannot even use the upstairs portion of our home as I cannot effectively cool it below 85 degrees. It's my understanding that the AC company Mobley uses, RJ Kielty, has botched the AC installation in dozens of other two story Mobley homes. For 8 months we have received nothing but excuses as to why our issue has not been resolved. Come to find out, we are party of a much larger issue. If you are experiencing a similar issue, please contact me directly. I'm consulting an attorney experienced in construction defect matters that may be able to represent us collectively. read more

Mobley Homes Buyer Beware. We were so excited to find our new dream home in October of 2021 where we could raise our family. We signed our contract October 2021 and we officially closed on December 29, 2021, but this is where the trouble began. We still have a lot of new Mobley Home construction going on in our development. The work sites are terrible. They are littered with garbage the subcontractors just throw all over the ground, and that continually blows around the community and into our yards. At times it looks like the Hillsborough County dump. Compliance to community construction rules are not enforced. Since we've moved in, we've had issue after issue. Some of these were identified during the walkthrough and some of the issues started after move-in. Do not take Mobley's word that something will be fixed. You still must continually fight with them to get things fixed that were even agreed-upon in writing. Mostly all requests need to go thru a lady in the front office named Becky Jenkins, who will continue to be dishonest about when items are going to be fixed, change her mind to what was agreed upon, or stop following-up or replying to your emails hoping that it will just go away. There are still some deficient items that were either documented during the walkthrough, became an issue while living in the home, or identified during the home inspection we had conducted prior to the one year 2-10 warranty expiring. Their favorite response to warranty items is "excluded" even those that are clearly within the warrantable guidelines as specified in the warranty booklet provided by 2-10. A good example is we have a void in our subfloor upstairs that can easily be felt with your foot as you walk on the floor. We have been working for almost a year to get them to repair, but they continue take the stance of stating it is excluded because they do not want to remove and replace the carpet in the hallway after they make the repair. In addition, we identified during the walkthrough the grass was dead and crinkling under our feet. We also noticed the sprinkler system cord was still wrapped up in the protective bag and had never been plugged in (house was built for over 6+ months - was the temporary model). They responded that it wasn't dead. Around the April timeframe, the HOA complained that our grass was dead. We had been watering on a regular basis and I explained that it was dead prior to closing and we brought the issue up to Mobley during the walkthrough. Mobley agreed to first try to treat the grass with fertilizer. I stated we have a company that comes out monthly, and they agreed to pay the monthly fee (I have a copy of the check they sent to me) and if the grass did not come back, they would replace. Well of course the grass was dead and did not come to life. I had a conversation with Mobley and advised we will be getting a pool installed and they could wait to install the new sod until that is complete. This was due to the new sod being ruined and it would also minimize the amount of sod needing replaced. This was agreed upon. Now that the pool is completed, I contacted Mobley Homes, speaking with Becky Jenkins, and reminded her of this agreement but it seems she has amnesia. They continually state this is no longer valid because we had the pool installed and that is what ruined the grass. Now everyone in the Mobley Homes organization knows of this agreement and the installation has no bearing on the replacement of the dead sod. I was doing them a favor by having them hold off as it was limiting the amount of sod they needed to replace. Now, after going back and forth several times, our emails are being ignored and they have had their lawyer send me an unprofessional email stating Mobley will drop off 300 sqft of sod which is not even enough to cover my front yard. It is then my responsibility to remove the old dead sod and put the new sod down. This is unacceptable and not the agreed upon action. Plus, I do not have the necessary equipment to properly remove sod. Thank goodness Mobley Homes has Bo Jolly working for them or I am not sure we would even have been able to get some of the items fixed. After our experience, and other reviews you can find on the internet and BBB, I highly recommend you stay away from Mobley Homes to build or purchase your home. If you are forced to use this builder get everything in writing and still be ready to get the run around, be strung along, and wait months or years to get anything fixed. I just wish they would stand behind their work and fix the items that are faulty and have been agreed upon. By far, this is our worst home buying experience throughout the multiple homes we have purchased/built. read more

This is the 4th house we have had built and by far the worst experience. The excuse that was consistently given was Covid. We were understanding of this. The problems we had were lie after lie told to us and pathetic communication between us and all contacts we had. These lies started with our sales person and continued all the way up the ladder. The building superintendent was so bad that when he was sitting in his truck outside of my home and I started to walk over to ask him a question, he literally drove off. At the end of the day, we have a nice house that we believe to be of good quality. The process of the build was absolutely horrible. Just be warned, it will take forever (18 months in our case) to build your home. I have yet to talk to a neighbor who says this was a good experience. read more

I'm sorry but I would not recommend this builder. I purchased my home one year ago in August 2018 and still do not have everything completed that was in the 3 page addendum from the walk through. It has been one thing after another....... Oh they never have roof leaks! Yes they do! And the A/C contractor blames the roofer, the roofer blames the A/C contractor and you, as the home owner are stuck in the middle with nasty ceilings and dry wall until they fight it out. Just make sure you get everything fixed before you close that is my suggestion if considering a Mobley Home.... Watch out for and get what you paid for- final cleaning, doors close and open property (pocket doors, front doors, barn doors, cabinet doors), check the showers to make sure water drains properly, tubs are not scratched, paint at top edges where cuts are match the rolled areas, have an electrician check all outlets (some of mine were dry walled over), check fake dormers if you have them that there are no cracks in stucco, check seams in crown molding shoe molding and baseboards, check the interior doors for sanding/smooth surfaces, check installation of all appliances, get down on your hands and knees and look under cabinets in kitchen you may be surprised how upgraded cabinets are not always finished as they should be. Look under the window frames to make sure the dry wall is finished there, look at the dry wall around door frames to make sure is finished and does not have 3 inch gaps! Insist on gutters all the way around and down spouts that extend away from the home. Don't rely on a home inspection, but get one! Don't be rushed in the walk through and make sure EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN DOWN ON THAT PAPER IF YOU CLOSE WITH AND ADDENDUM. read more

Fact - Falsely advertising boat ramp access at Manors at Lake Padgett. No access to the lake once all 8 lots are built. Fact - ordered entire set of WRONG trusses even after I told them the foundation plan was wrong. Fact - had three 2 x 4's sticking through the drywall and was just waiting for someone to correct it - 4 weeks after drywall painted - I had to get mad to get them to take care it. (Yes, I actually had to show them even though it was in the middle of the kitchen ceiling and wall, and a bedroom ceiling sticking 3 - 5") Fact - front porch columns had seams greeting you as you walk to the door - took over 2 months to get them to fix them correctly. Fact - tile floor to sliding glass door track even on one side and 1.5' below track on other side - tried to refuse to correct but did partial correction after 2 months. Fact - exterior trim hardy board unfinished and had to write and send pictures for 2 months before done correctly. Fact - unable to meet Tim Mobley - refuses to meet customers. Fact - falsely advertised access to Lake Padgett and has attorneys communicate with homeowners as we ask why we were lied to. Fact - did not shingle roof for over 2 months after wood covered causing plywood to warp. Had to get building inspector to make them replace the wood before shingles installed. Fact - charged enormous price for hood over stove but did not want to take sheet metal to ceiling when I was told this would be included - had to insist and argue for over 2 months about getting it completed correctly and it still is warped. There are many other facts, but too many to mention. This company does not care about the customer - only filling their pockets with your cash. Stay away unless you want to have a long list of headaches from start to post finish. They do not work on warranty items either - sends hired help to make attempts to fix (Fact example, fixed tile floor seam crack with grout and used same grout to fix wall cracks in all showers - not noticing the colors were completely different.) 2 months later, grout lifting in the entire repair and now had to hire a company to repair the right way. read more

We closed on a new construction home in April 2020. We had several outstanding issues at the walk through, pre-closing, and our construction manager, Reg Ferry told us to give it 30 days and make a list of all issues and submit after. He assured us they would be taken care of. Then the excuses started coming. Some of the issues took nearly a year to fix, and now to date we are 16 months out and some issues still haven't been fixed. They are refusing to make any more repairs due to "one year warranty expiring", even though these issues have been on the list since closing. They took several months to fix touch up paints both inside and outside, that when they finally did the touch ups in some areas the colors did not match. We were told that paint color "changes" over time, and they said theres nothing they can do about it. The latest and most expensive is the A/C unit broke. We had a 2-10 Extended home warranty, which was recommended by the builder, but they denied the claim stating the house was "too new". We contacted Mobley, they said there is nothing they can do as it outside the 1 year warranty. We contacted the AC company who was contracted by Mobley, One Stop Cooling and Heating. The AC company found that the installation was done wrong and that is why it broke. The issue was the TXV valve or "expansion block" was very dirty with suds due to faulty installation. I even have an invoice from the AC company where the technician hand wrote the above issue and that it was the builders fault. This builder does not stand behind any of the work that is done. We have 11 revisions of the list of repairs because each time they would come out, they would not finish everything. We still have dozens of repairs that are still not done, and we have lived here 16 months. We were stuck with a $333 dollar bill to fix the A/C that was due to poor installation. I do not recommend this builder to anyone, just look at the multiple complaints here, google, and the Better Business Bureau. They all sound very familiar. read more
