Avi Homes - The Camden model home in the Park at Legends Village. 1383 sq ft featuring 2 beds, 2 baths

I'm an avi home buyer and currently we have been living in the duplex since the end of last…read moreNovember. I was being kinda paranoid and skeptical because of all the bad reviews online about avi so I feel I need to give a fair review to them and other candidate buyers. We visited the model homes a couple of times and talked to Lora and her assistant and finally we purchased this house with our realtor Will in Early July last year. I asked Lora if we can move in for Xmas and she was honest telling us she's not sure cuz it really depends on the weather and we might close it by the end of December or early January this year. During the whole process, Travis and Lora would email us about what they have done and were they going to do on a weekly basis. We lived nearby so we came to see the house on Saturdays. Honestly we knew nothing about construction so we just literally had a look about it. They always did their work more than they had told us and ahead of their schedule. We felt it moved very fast and Lora and Travis told us it would be completed in advance and in the end we did get the house b4 the end of last November. They were being very helpful about the whole closing procedures too. So far I can say our duplex is great and during this winter storm we did NOT get any burst pipe or exploded water heater! And most of all, we did NOT get any roof leaking or rainwater coming into our house! The only problem we have is a few swamp patches in our backyard and we will work with AVI to get it fixed before the warranty goes expired! That's my personal experience with AVI! It is pleasant and I'm obligated to write a fair review.

We had to spend a lot of money on legal fees and experts to get them to do the repairs. Some of those repairs need to be done again, and they are again being unresponsive. I recommend only buying an Avi home that has been lived in so that all the problems are worked out.

Coventry is stating to use a hair puller, same repeated questions of do we use wipes and we repeatedly answer with no. This has been the worse home warranty experience with any builder we've purchased from. Santa Rita (Homestead) Liberty Hill, Tx. Subject: Master toilet/Master shower I am writing to express my complete dissatisfaction with how our warranty requests are being handled. We are repeatedly experiencing severe plumbing issues in the master bathroom. Since my emergency call on Sunday, October 11, 2026, the toilet has backed up into the shower again. Feces backing up into our shower is clearly not a simple hair clog, so suggesting a hair removal stick is unacceptable and does not resolve the issue. The plumber who previously arrived stated that something approximately 30 feet inside the line may be catching toilet paper. Please review all of our previously submitted tickets regarding these ongoing plumbing issues. We require a licensed plumber to be sent out immediately to properly diagnose and fix this problem. If this is not resolved promptly with actual action and a permanent resolution, I will be forced to take further action. Sincerely, Larry and Ursula Cook

5 star Architect for a reason!…read more Daniel has an architectural approach that I believe people will find very rare and refreshing these days. He is very giving of his time, knowledge, and is the most collaborative of the 3 Architects we have used on the 2 other custom homes we have built. As an example, even before we signed a contract he made multiple site visits to give us his friendly professional insight about several lots we were considering before we selected the property we ultimately purchased. He was extremely accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. Collaboration is his priority from the beginning and he made it very convenient through the use of screen share as we designed the home together. We were really impressed with the architectural 3D model that Daniel created. It was amazing that we were able to have a computer-generated 3D model to visualize the complete exterior as well as the outdoor entertaining, outdoor kitchen, and the pool and spa area. We were able to have the majority of our meetings in the evenings after we got off work and we even did a screen share to collaborate on our laptop while we were out of town visiting family. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about both the architectural and contractual aspects of building, but he seems to have a great instinct for what the client is looking achieve. He also had the desire to study alternatives and create several layouts that might make the most sense for the lifestyle we described. Our custom home is amazing and we would definitely recommend him to our friends. We enjoyed the process of the architectural design of our custom home and even more surprisingly we enjoyed the building process that is often stressful. Instrumental in our smooth building process was Daniel's custom home building budget that he accurately laid out from the beginning giving us many options and associated costs. Daniel's project management and selection of the builder really took confusion out of the process and stress off of our lap. Other critical details that made build successful was his guidance and assistance with the interior design, kitchen, and bath design, and selection of all of our interior finishes and fixtures. Our kitchen and bathrooms really stand out with exceptional design and we are very grateful for that. All in all the 3% that he charged to be a complete steward of our project was an easy decision. We will definitely be using him in the future and so will our friends that are very impressed with our the result as well as our highly detailed and accurate design and building process.

I've had quite a bit of experience with Goodwin and its ownership over the years. While HOAs can…read moregenerally be challenging, it's valuable to have an established company that has the experience and resources to serve communities responsibly. I would not necessarily question Goodwin's honesty, but I do have concerns that their business practices prioritize revenue generation over proactive, hands-on community management and the quality of service residents expect. My negative feedback is on: 1. What I believe to be Goodwin's predatory fine structure including, at times, for onsite management at certain communities, late assessments and violations. 2. Goodwin's level of service. Internally, it's this good ol boy system of feeding our friends and having a good time. That life comes from clients who trust Goodwin with their community. In my own community we have problems with consistency of landscape maintenance and pool maintenance. The common areas are overgrown for extended periods but they send us notices threatening fines immediately following multiple days of rain. The pool maintenance really needs to improve. The trash is left for weeks-months and smells like somebody died at the pools. The pool itself is cloudy and frequently covered in leaves with items strewn about the pool deck. This does not match the level of service our community pays for. Both are very simple with a little bit of oversight. When they do drives, they would do good to check on the common areas and not just fine owners for minor issues.

I have been extremely disappointed with the management of our HOA and the lack of responsiveness to…read moreongoing issues within the Woodland Hills neighborhood. Over the past several years, there has been a noticeable increase in excessive street parking, including vehicles parked near corners, blind spots, and other areas that create safety concerns for residents and motorists. In some cases, vehicles extend beyond driveways and obstruct traffic flow, creating potential access issues for emergency vehicles. There has also been an increase in damaged, abandoned, and inoperable vehicles remaining on neighborhood streets for extended periods. Despite reporting concerns through the proper channels, little seems to be done to address these issues or maintain consistent community standards. Speeding throughout the neighborhood has also become a growing problem. Residential streets should be safe for children, pedestrians, pets, and residents, yet this issue appears to receive little attention. What has been most frustrating is the HOA management company's attitude when concerns are raised. In my experience, the company is dismissive of homeowner concerns and does not handle criticism well. Rather than acknowledging issues and working toward solutions, they often appear more interested in deflecting responsibility. Unfortunately, my interactions with several employees have reflected the same culture. Customer service has been unprofessional, unhelpful, and at times outright dismissive. Homeowners deserve to be treated with respect, especially when raising legitimate concerns about the safety and appearance of their neighborhood. Enforcement also appears inconsistent. The company seems quick to issue fines when convenient, yet many obvious violations go unaddressed. I have personally observed situations that should have resulted in enforcement action under the same standards applied to others, yet no action was taken. This inconsistency raises serious questions about fairness and accountability. As a homeowner paying HOA dues, I find myself asking what value this management company actually provides. They are about as good as the current White House administration. Based on my experience, this company has fallen well short of those expectations.

The project scope was construction of a 700 square foot ADU Full bathroom and kitchen installation Utility connections and permitting -Project timeline: 5 months The company demonstrated strong expertise in ADU construction and navigating local building codes. Their team maintained consistent communication throughout the project, providing weekly updates on progress and any potential challenges. The quality of workmanship, particularly in the finishing details, exceeded my expectations. Alon & Eli the project managers was responsive to our concerns and addressed issues promptly. There was a few minor hiccups in scheduling but it was more in city side and they addressed it right away The final cost aligned with the initial estimate, with only minor variations due to some upgraded fixtures we chose during construction. The pricing was not the cheapest but the value was more then worth it snd saved us a lot of headace and delays. - Excellent attention to detail in finishing work - Strong knowledge of local building codes and permit requirements - Professional and courteous crew - High-quality materials used throughout - Energy-efficient design and installation Despite the minor scheduling hiccups, I would highly recommend for ADU construction projects. Their expertise in ADU-specific requirements and attention to detail resulted in a beautiful, functional living space that has significantly enhanced our property value.

We discussed objectives and he showed us his portfolio. He quoted us a price on-the-spot and then allowed us time to think about it. He was easy to talk to and seemed to intuitively grasp what we were going for. This, combined with his transparency around price, terms, and his cool portfolio are why we hired him. This turned out to be a really smart idea on our part. Mickey and team over-performed in terms of design and work. He sent us a bunch of initial iterations - a few "big" variants, then several had small variations on the theme. We actually had a tough time narrowing and Mickey said, "tell me what you like or don't about the ones you're deciding between." Boom: he came back with the perfect plan. Mickey provided referrals and expert guidance throughout. He's thorough and very to-the-point - qualities I appreciate. His pricing was fair and his work top-notch (when shopping for a contractor, they all commented on how thorough and sensible the plans were). I rarely give 5 stars (check out my reviews). For me, "good job" is really 3 or 4 - I mean, I expect a business to do their job. ATXA and MIckey are rare 5-star people. If we have need for an architect in the future, ATXA will be the first (and only - if available) team I contact.

My wife and I were first-time home buyers and went with Bramlett Partners based off reviews online…read more We ended up being contacted by Kiel Schmidt who was very professional and thorough regarding what the entire buying process would look like. He provides very clear communication regardless if you prefer calls/emails/text, and he was very accessible throughout the whole process. This was especially important as we were buying from out of state with the intention of moving to Austin soon. Kiel gave us recommendations for what pricing to start with and helped with negotiations as well as giving a recommendation for a home inspector so that we would be well prepared on the condition of the house during the option period. Negotiations were data-driven with comps in the area and he also provides monthly market analysis. I would definitely recommend Kiel for home buyers!

He helped me sort through my priorities and ultimately find exactly the house I was looking for. Over the years, we regularly kept in touch about the market and my home's value. When it came time for me to move, there was no question that I wanted Carson to be my seller's agent as well. His advice on pre-sale preparation and pricing made a real difference. We received an offer within two weeks, while many other units in my development had been sitting on the market much longer, even after price adjustments. Having an experienced, knowledgeable agent like Carson guiding me through both buying and selling made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend him.

I needed help renting my house after it was listed for over 2 months with no leads. As soon as I contacted the Jorgenson Group, they connected me immediately with Jackee, who was ready to work with me to update pictures for my rental as well as evaluate the current status of the listing. Her advice was super valuable, as was her entire demeanor. She was professional and to the point in all her observations. She refreshed the listing, and within 2 weeks, I had showings and soon after, an offer. It only took about 3 weeks to get the unit rented with Jackee. I cannot express enough my gratitude and positive experience I had working with her. She gave me weekly updates, revisited the listing with me, and tweaked things as needed. She was engaged and focused on getting the house rented. I had worked with realtors before, but it was hard to find someone who put excitement into my listing, as I understand there is not a lot of commission in rentals. However, Jackee treated this as a priority from the beginning, and from the customer's point of view, it made me feel at ease knowing I was working with someone who gave it time and the attention it needed.
