I wish we could have spent more time with B's. It was very overwhelming. It would have been nice to think over a week before being locked it. Also a suggestion sheet would be nice, for example, Lanai list all the possible things to choose from.

Daytona Beach, FL, on Apr 06, 2025
All timeline dates from purchase and sales agreement to closing were met on schedule in a timely matter. Everything that was proposed and expected from start to finish was executed with no surprises. I disliked the cosmetic finish product of the left over paint drippings and the messy cosmetic latex paintable caulking that was very messy throughout the house repetitively in almost every corner where the shoe molding meets up against the baseboard and anywhere else there was caulking, it wasn’t tooled properly,.
Daytona Beach, on Apr 15, 2025

When building my home, the contact changed and [name removed] was assigned to my property. He was the best part of my build - attentive, helpful, patient, and all around fantastic. If there was any issue he fixed it before me knowing about it or if it was something that I found. He was the best part of my experience with [name removed] Communities.

Daytona Beach, on Apr 02, 2025
Think how the warrenty is handled is very sloppy. Been waiting for a month for one activity to take place. My warrenty guy went on vacation but did not change his answering recording so I left 3 messages. Wasted time. Called main number- he’s on vacation. Had no heat or air. Never heard from him. Took 4 visits and 7 ac guys to fix my ac. They left a mess outside my house. Had to pay [name removed] $2500 at closing, [name removed] date of closing not mine because 2 contracts on my house fell through, 3rd contract sold my house but was charged $ for every day that I did not close. Buyer chose the date. & insisted on that dste. So I’m now out $2500. I’m old, single, need that money. [name removed] is no friend to me
Daytona Beach, on Mar 25, 2025
The landscape they installed around my cottage is very low quality with a large portion of the sod being dead when installed. The sprinklers did not run for the first 4 months. This week the fertilized only a portion of the lawn.
Daytona Beach, FL, on Mar 29, 2025
Our sales person [name removed] was outstanding. She kept us in the loop and went above and beyond to help us with the entire process.

Our representative: [name removed] took care of everything quickly
Daytona Beach, FL, on Mar 24, 2025
I liked all the mintos reps. My rep from [name removed] [name removed] [name removed] was a bit pushy and car salesman like.
Daytona Beach, on Mar 25, 2025
The whole process seemed rushed.... from choosing your A's & B's having just a 4 to 5 hr. Window to choose your finishes under pressure along with not having an opportunity to make a change or 2, or additions. Then you pay for level 5 product only to get level 2 to 3 results. Our cabinets have been looked at for blemishes, they have changed doors and the same blemishes exist. Everyone who looks at them agrees with our assessment, I am not speaking of friends or family, I am speaking of tradesmen, sub- contractors for [name removed]. A part of my countertop was installed 3/8ths of an inch out of level. Myself as a Carpenter sees it everyday. We closed 2 plus months earlier than we were told which indicates to me that people were rushed so to close and bank $$$. That counter top as a tradesman is atrocious work that only a real trademark can see. It also has a Crack in the corner where it was trimmed improperly. There is so much more I can say.... If your really interested maybe you can stop by or call. People just no longer take pride in their work its all about the [name removed]'s $$.
Daytona Beach, on Mar 30, 2025
quartz countertops do not look like the sample that was shown to us when we made our selection. This was a very expensive upgrade for a product that was misrepresented in the design center.
Daytona Beach, FL, on Mar 23, 2025
The people I worked with have all been amazing! Particularly [name removed]. Only a few things I am not happy with: What difference would it make to have different color cabinets on the bottom vs the top? They are exactly the same just 2 different colors. This is a 55 and over community. People shrink as they age, the wire shelves in the closet is hung at 7 feet. The only way I could reach the top is with a stool. The same applies to the laundry room, And for that matter the shower head. Maybe the [name removed] designers are former NBA players? I am in the [name removed]. When you walk in from the garage, the closest light switch is 7 feet from door. Again, not sure why 7 feet but I just measured. There really should be a light switch near the door you enter from. These are just my thoughts. I doubt anyone really reads these but would be very impressed to hear your thoughts on these 3 things.
Daytona Beach, on Mar 24, 2025
[name removed] and [name removed] have gone above and beyond!

Daytona Beach, FL, on Mar 22, 2025
Have major problems with our tiled floors. The tile was defective and we need that to be resolved. Also, the garage floor looked like a 20 plus year old floor with indentations everywhere. This needs to be taken care of as well. Take care of these issues and we will give a more positive rating. We need to see how you take care of these
Daytona Beach, on Mar 27, 2025
[name removed] my mastercare rep has been great. I like the design and quality of my home.

Our Master Care rep has been fantastic and has been proactive and so helpful!
Daytona Beach, FL, on Mar 17, 2025
I loved these two people who were key during my process. [name removed] went above and beyond to help me with my choices. She followed up several times to see if I needed help and when I did, she resolved my issue immediately. [name removed] expedited all my requests. He took care of things in the same day and did not make me feel like I was being a pest. One dislike. When I first called the sales office to make my first appointment, I was told by someone in your corporate office that I needed a broker or I would be assigned one. I got a broker and she came with me to my first meeting with [name removed], which lasted 30 minutes. My broker had no role going forward. I read on my closing statement that [name removed] paid $10800 in commission to my broker, who came to a 30-minute meeting. I am upset that I was told I needed a broker (or I would be assigned one) and that she was paid $10800 for doing nothing. If anyone should get a commission, it should be the person who referred me and introduced me to [name removed], [name removed] owner at 916 Bama Breeze Drive. He should receive a referral fee. Thank you.
Daytona Beach, on Mar 18, 2025
Easy to deal with and if any issues arise they are acted upon expeditiously.

Daytona Beach, on Mar 07, 2025
We like the design of our home and also the location and amenities. We appreciate our master care rep., [name removed], who has been very responsive to any needs that arise. We dislike the fact that [name removed] left trees overhanging our property that are dying and have already caused damage to our screens, which is not covered by the warranty. These trees are not in the preserve, but between our home and the retaining area for water. In all other areas with a similar layout, there is landscape clearing before the dry pond. We Are One of about 5 houses that have this ongoing problem, and it is not being solved.

I've built 7 homes now from the ground up, and this is the best quality of any of them, no question. My builder kept me updated throughout the building process, and I've felt valued since Day 1. Since closing, my MasterCare rep, [name removed], has absolutely gone above and beyond in response time to every issue I've sent him (and there were surprisingly few!), from roof issues to stucco to palm trees... I'm so grateful that he addressed every issue quickly and completely. The tradesmen in my home were also very respectful of my property, very efficient, and always showed up with a smile. My problems were never treated as unimportant. I could not ask for better treatment trhoughout the entire experience.
