Sales office mislead us on several things, we were told yard maintenance is part of dues which have gone up twice in a year. More yard maintenance is done at sales center and now Stay & Play than we get as residents. Sales center makes it all sound so good but do not mention how HOA is actually run .

too many different contractors for the home. Its confusing to know who is responsible for what. The trim guy is different than the door guy and the cabinet guy. I DO like that [name removed] and the Mastercare team keeps trying to improve. My trim along the floors was not done very well. It was worked on but really needed to be done completely over to look like the quality I expected.

My only "complaints": 1) Sales staff said construction would take 11 months but it turned out to be only 6 months which created challenges for me and my retirement plans. 2) It would have been greatly appreciated if even the smallest changes could have been entertained (add internal insulation for noise reduction between rooms, additional cutout/shelf in master shower). It is not practical for me to go back and add these features now.

There were a couple of times where I had to escalate to more senior Minto leadership group for help resolving issues which were, in my opinion, legitimate rationale for builder responsibility's to fix but general Minto management did not authority to make those type of decisions. I did like that senior Minto leadership really listened to my feedback and suggestions for remediation and took action to resolve to my satisfaction so the end results restored my trust and faith in Minto standing behind their work and will get things done right but I believe there should be a little more decision making authority given to general Minto management to make the overall customer experience more enjoyable particularly if not a significant cost impact to increase Minto’s reputation as being one of the best builder’s in the area.

I have no issues with superintendent or supervisor. I just feel that given the price we pay for the homes. They are built a bit cheaper than they should be. Quality products are just not used in these homes. My yard has been bad ever since I’ve moved in so I’m not sure why that is. I have reported more than once that my sprinklers do not work. I’ve never seen them come on. Again this is not about the people who was assigned to me. This is more to do with the materials used to . I have reported my sprinkler system not working since I moved in. I’m not sure if that’s why my yard looks like it does or not but I have not once seen the sprinkler system come on the whole year.

I feel like I have had the cream of the crop with [name removed] as my Mastercare and [name removed] as a builder. Whenever I have a request [name removed] is very quick to respond and takes a look to discuss options.

The entire sales process was seamless, and the building phase was expertly handled by our builder and our Mastercare rep is excellent.

Sales office mislead us on several things, we were told yard maintenance is part of dues which have gone up twice in a year. More yard maintenance is done at sales center and now Stay & Play than we get as residents. Sales center makes it all sound so good but do not mention how HOA is actually run .

too many different contractors for the home. Its confusing to know who is responsible for what. The trim guy is different than the door guy and the cabinet guy. I DO like that [name removed] and the Mastercare team keeps trying to improve. My trim along the floors was not done very well. It was worked on but really needed to be done completely over to look like the quality I expected.

[name removed] (sales person was awesome), [name removed] (builder) was awesome, [name removed] (master card rep) is awesome. The only thing we are unhappy about is the landscaping.

There were a couple of times where I had to escalate to more senior Minto leadership group for help resolving issues which were, in my opinion, legitimate rationale for builder responsibility's to fix but general Minto management did not authority to make those type of decisions. I did like that senior Minto leadership really listened to my feedback and suggestions for remediation and took action to resolve to my satisfaction so the end results restored my trust and faith in Minto standing behind their work and will get things done right but I believe there should be a little more decision making authority given to general Minto management to make the overall customer experience more enjoyable particularly if not a significant cost impact to increase Minto’s reputation as being one of the best builder’s in the area.

I have no issues with superintendent or supervisor. I just feel that given the price we pay for the homes. They are built a bit cheaper than they should be. Quality products are just not used in these homes. My yard has been bad ever since I’ve moved in so I’m not sure why that is. I have reported more than once that my sprinklers do not work. I’ve never seen them come on. Again this is not about the people who was assigned to me. This is more to do with the materials used to . I have reported my sprinkler system not working since I moved in. I’m not sure if that’s why my yard looks like it does or not but I have not once seen the sprinkler system come on the whole year. I’ve been here and have reported that more than once. [name removed] has been great to us, and [name removed] was great in the building process.

I have not personally lived there so I can't really evaluate fairly. Current tenant has found some maintenance issues.

Our sales agent, [name removed], and building supervisor, [name removed], were excellent and responsive. It was disappointing on quality of some of the trades such as cabinets, but problems were addressed. Home inspection shows areas missing attic insulation, roofing issues, and poor quality of mortaring of tiles which we hope will be resolved.

[name removed] has not been as responsive to our needs as we were expecting. Changes in the Mastercare program- not covering cosmetic issues, appliance issues, and very outstanding tickets of 6 months or more are issues. Very unresponsive Mastercare rep with no communication is very disappointing.

My [name removed] cared and was very knowledgeable. She always responded in a timely matter. We are still working minor issues and I trust it will all be taken care of.
