Ernesto G.
I'm happy with the house so far, and it's built very well.
Colby G.
I am likely to recommend Ivey Residential to a friend.
Devon S.
Communication during the building process was lacking and transparency about certain aspects of the build was unclear.
Larry G.
I would definitely recommend Ivey to a friend.
Customer in Grovetown, GA
The sales consultant was excellent.
Luciana P.
I would say absolutely not! A zero, I've been waiting for this day
Customer in Grovetown, GA
The home are very nice, but it's just a lot more than the person or company who builds the house.
George C.
Great family atmosphere, great home, great neighborhood, tremendous quality and value. Doesn't get better than this!
Warren J.
Sales rep arbitrarily changed my appliance credit and applied to closing costs without my approval after I had arranged for appliance selection and delivery with Kelly’s Appliances.
Howard F.
My husband and I were very impressed with the way the home was built as well as the follow up. The gentleman that did the walkthrough with us was very detailed. We've never had that kind of service with the walkthrough, and it being as detailed as it was. We had a few issue when we first moved in and Ivey was on top of it. We've been very happy.
Customer in Grovetown, GA
I am very happy with the final product but the communication issues with Michelle as well as several silly, unnecessary mistakes throughout the process (of building a spec home and not a custom home) would make me hesitant to recommend building in Crawford Creek specifically.
Arouna A.
I will be neutral as of right now. The location of Brighton Landing was the major factor of me buying house right here. I was told that Ivey is a good builder, but I can't not tell if that is true. Because I have my friends built their houses at Evans with other home builders and they didn't want trough issues like me.
Customer in Grovetown, GA
The warranty is very detailed and the binder that came with home are both great. Everyone was courteous, kind, and helpful.
Customer in Evans, GA
Ivey has worked with us very well. They were a delay with somethings, but they worked at a reasonable pace, and I have really enjoyed working with them.
Sam D.
Some of the stuff that is standard is not standard. The bathroom, commodes, they are super low to the ground. To get all four bathrooms up to regular height would be a lot of money. I am a short person and I'm having trouble. People don't want what is standard. It makes the house more expensive. We put 50-80k more dollars because the standard stuff is not what people want. We have lived in the house for 30 days, and we are already trying to renovate the commodes.
Joshua K.
I did a referral but the referral never went through the site. I wasn't informed of the correct profit.
Customer in Grovetown, GA
Leaning towards “not” though.
Abraham A.
Nice home and good reputation, They had good customer service.
Jeff S.
Everyone knew their job and at times it felt like I was working with family members. They took care of me and answered my questions.
Alaina P.
They are very helpful and professional.
Juretta T.
I have been in my home now for about two years now. I am constantly having drainage problems along with the house next door. THEY promised me I was not going to have a problem.. Each time Ivey responds, saying drainage is up to specification. NOW it's starting to smell like swamp...I have had several other landscape companies out and they say it's a problem. Ivey keep giving me the runaround. I think I need to take other actions now...
James R.
Ivey Residential is very professional and attentive to our needs and schedule. They were very easy to deal with.
Customer in Grovetown, GA
Ivey Residential was very helpful and great every step of the way. The superintendent was nice and made sure that everything that needed to be in the home was in the home.
Victor M.
I had a great experience, they are very knowledgeable, and helpful. Any questions I had they answered. Some minor details could have been handled faster to avoid issues at the end of construction. Kent was not there, so there was another supervisor. He did an outstanding job at following through, explaining, and walking us through the process. They finished everything we asked of them, even after closing. Adriana and Becky were awesome. They explained all the options available, and helped us with our decision.
Chris C.
Our new house is beautiful, we couldn’t be any happier !
