Decision Making Factor
Design options on website. This was the only layout we found that was like we wanted
Most Exciting Feature
Big windows & large lot.
Jordon M.
Great design and layout but horrible tile and paint contractors. Would prefer a few more options like insulated attic decking and buyers input with contractors.

This is not an indictment on Britton or Kristi as we were very happy with them and they did the best they could. With that being said we had to fight on numerous exterior issues with our house and the common response was that the house was "built to plan." Britton's manager, who we never met, made decisions on our house with no regard to our point of view. We had issues with the size of a front pillar, stone going to our roofline, and railing on the back patio. Every issue was met with a response of "built to plan" even though no other house in the entire neighborhood was built to this plan. Our house stands alone with its current pillar size in the front and is the only house in the entire neighborhood that is not stoned to the roofline. We also have a 2 foot drop from our patio to our yard. We did not qualify for a railing because our patio is not raised 30 inches from the ground. 24 inches is a large drop especially considering we have an 8 month old son who is becoming more mobile every day. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything to be different as Buffington's margin and bottom line is more important than the satisfaction of their customers. I'm certain this will fall on deaf ears as we have already paid for our house and Buffington will continue to build hundreds of houses through this year and beyond.

The communication was amazing. The sales rep and superintendent of our neighborhood have been absolutely wonderful to us, and they kept us updated; they stuck to the timeline, and it's a beautiful end product!

When my drainage and grading concerns are addressed, I will leave a higher score. We really like the house itself.

Overall, it is a beautiful home and very well built.

My home is beautiful but it was not finished when I closed. My punch list is still not finished and we moved in 3 months ago. The paint does not fully cover the dry wall above the kitchen cabinets and on the ceilings where a repair was made. The back patio door is still not painted. Getting in touch with the construction supervision is difficult. Also the back yard which was supposed to be groomed and seeded is not smooth and was full of rocks when we moved in which I thought would be taken care of. However, everybody has been extremely nice. The warranty department was on top of things.

Buyer beware! Get everything in writing. One of the best things we did, was the initial meeting for construction was leave with a copy of the documents....I took pictures because they do not allow you to leave with a copy. I referenced these documents each time we had an issue. Document everything, because they don't and they will bait & switch.

Quality has gone down with time. Their image whatever used to be has only gone down. Parks at brighton, Bentonville pays three times POA/HOA compared to surrounding communities and services and amenities received are far lower than any surrounding community.

I am most satisfied with the initial picking of designs and the selection of add ons. It's pretty streamline. Also the quality of the build has been good so far.

I heard about Buffington Homes through family, they built a neighborhood near them and I was impressed with the work.

In general, we had an average experience. We weren't happy with the timeline and the lack of inner organization and quality of work throughout the process. We are happy with the house overall.

The customer contact through the sales office was excellent. Terrah did a fabulous job transitioning into our sales contact as Miriam transitioned out of the role. She answered our questions in a timely manner and keep us updated on the progress towards the closing. She has maintained a communicative role with us, post closing, and is a valuable asset as a personable and knowledgable sales representative. Plus, she is always smiling and is very pleasant to interact with. Additionally, we have experienced a very high degree of professionalism and promptness with the punch list items and have been impressed with the expeditious timeline of completion. Most of the items were done within days of notation and the followup has been refreshing.

The only thing that fell short of our expectations was a timing issue. It was due to rain though and not a fault of Buffington Homes of Arkansas.
