John, Wesley and his team were fantastic throughout the entire process!

The home is really good quality. The house is surrounded with plants, the water from the gutters go into the ground to prevent water puddles in grass. A lot of little details that you don't initially think about but matter down the line, went into building our house!

The entire Ivey team has been very responsive, knowledgeable, positive, accommodating, and helpful. The quality of materials used is very high and the craftsmen (and women!) did excellent work.. We were able to customize our 'forever home" and it will be a joy to live in!

We loved the layout of the 3 bedroom in the adult community and the services and the amenities that the community offers. The Ivey houses we looked at were spacious with plenty of natural light. Beautiful community.

Best quality, service, and experience. Second time buyers and we couldn’t love it more.

Essentially, we are from a different state and are moving into Georgia. The communication with the Ivey Residential sales has been great in helping with making the decision of which floor plan they offer would be best for us.

I appreciate the openness of the Ivey representatives to make changes for my disabled sister's rooms.

What experience we have had so far has been good.

I found this home because a local friend recommended Ivey, and after exploring their website and found the neighborhoods they are developing. I have not been disappointed, the quality of construction is clearly evident. I also truly appreciated the professional and attentive service we received from Jessica and the team member who led our orientation tour (I believe his name was Joe). Their knowledge and friendliness made the experience even better!

Lack of communication from the beginning with sales person (Amanda) not being thorough in options available. We were also told one thing by the asst superintendent about our fence and then told no later. Also our entire house was painted the blue color we chose for one rooms. The rest was supposed to be white. Lack of communication from team regarding delayed schedule (claiming it was due to the snow) - if you knew at the beginning it was behind, you could’ve let us know to expect a delay. Instead you waited until 53 days out to inform us. We went to contract in November. It snowed in January. You didn’t lay foundation until mid February. The cabinets and lighting are in, the delay seems unnecessary, especially when we were told the paint correction (see below) would be done in time and extra hours would be worked to make sure it didn’t delay things.

Our Sales Consultant Jessica has been awesome from Day 1
Answering any Questions or Concerns we have had! ( Even though we live out of State)!! The Design Studio was a great Experience,Being able to pick out almost everything that we wanted inside and out was a Plus! Keeping us updated with Pictures at each Stage of the Build is a Great idea!!! Also knowing everyone on your team to be able to communicate any Questions or concerns is a Plus.
I would Highly Recommend Ivey Homes to any one looking to Build a Quality Home!!

Quality of home material. Followup with Super And his responsiveness to getting things completed in time for my closing

Tracked price point from beginning to end and it increased by $4,000 the exact price of the supposed incentive of $4,000. Materials used are fairly cheap and the color scheme used in my townhome is horrible. The floor plan is a what I love (the Macon.. I think). For these reasons the home is not worth $267,000.

Excellent

Overall, I liked most of my experience. I hand-picked this builder out of others I had researched. I thought they were good to work with, I liked my experience with Terri O'Neil, who helped me throughout the whole process, and Michelle who helped me when Terri was out.

Great customer service, beautifully constructed homes!

The whole process was very smooth, well planed and supported.

Very poor attention to detail. Crooked wall post in kitchen. Exhaust fan in kitchen making a clanking noise. Additional outlet not put in flex room. Outlets in master bedroom tripping. I’m picking paint drippings off of the floor. Scratches on bathroom counters. Two shelves in messy kitchen don’t have plugs to hold shelf on right side. Nearly broke my grandmothers china plate. Varied heat temperatures in the house. Master bedroom very warm, front room cold. Shutters are still not on the house. I haven’t even had time to truly “inspect.”

Ivey Residential is doing great; they are informative.

We are disappointed with the attention to detail and add on costs. There is quite a markup.

The quality of the build and the customer service are unmatched!

The home plan is beautiful. Most of the build is wonderful. Finish work has excess glue, caulk, and no clean up between sheetrock sanding and painting trim caused rough surfaces. Pointing out this problem solved many of the issues, although sides, tops and bottoms of doors still are quite rough

Very friendly and always available. Great quality! They give you comprehensive information about the house by an Ivey Employee. Cannot say enough good about them!!

They try hard to make us feel like they will help

Ivey builds a quality product and works closely with new residents to rectify any shortcomings in the initial transaction

The interactions have been great throughout the process. The binder with all of the information is uncommon and gives everything you need. It's very helpful for first time buyers and puts you in a good position.

SUGGESTIONS

SUGGESTIONS - Having been a General Contractor since 1973, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many Builders and I have to say Ivey Homes impressed me from my first visit with Becky Martin right up til my closing with Amanda. You have an excellent sales/construction Team and your quality of materials and workmanship was evident in all respects. I normally do not give glowing reviews, however in this case, I felt it was necessary to point out why I will be recommending Ivey Homes to those friends and family that are looking for a well built home, at an affordable price and no compromise on Quality. A very pleasant home buying experience above my expectations.

I am very satisfied with the whole process.

Amanda made this experience exceptional.

This may change after all the issues are resolved.

It has mostly been a good experience with Ivey and would recommend their homes.

Working with Ivey Homes was so easy!! Everyone is so friendly and sweet. They listen to all your concerns and come to you with effective solutions. The exceeded expectations when working with them.

I probably wouldn’t recommend to an enemy of mine either.

We had issues throughout the entire process due to incorrect information being given. Our house was not completed at closing. The house was dirty after closing with paint all over the floors. There are things that a fix was done for instead of a replacement. Multiple contractors are having to come back after closing to finish work or correct work from poor craftsmanship. What we looked at and chose in the design studio looks very different in the house due to different lighting. The difference in looks caused a problem with the process as well. Jessica and Amanda were fantastic in trying to help rectify the problems and they would be the only reason we would recommend Ivey to anyone.

I would never recommend Ivey Residential to anyone. This has been a horrific experience. Every shortcut possible was taken when building my house, customer service was nonexistent, our closing date was pushed 2 times due to Ivey mistakes and false information, and since closing we have found several major issues with electrical, drywall and siding to which we have been told by Ivey that the contractors used are known for being terrible at their jobs.

Working with Ivey Homes has been such a great experience. They made everything so simple and easy as a first time home buyer.

Already have!

They are not as upfront and forthright as their marketing would lead you to believe.

Ivey Homes is the only builder that my family has dealt with in this area so I can not compare them to another builder. They have followed up and do their best that they can to resolve the issues that arise with your property. They give you 30 days after closing to correct imperfections that you come across. They also supply you with a binder and a hand book to help you maintain your home and the necessary contact and warranty information to assist in register your appliances. A very friendly and helpful staff.

They have great quality homes. I love my house that we purchased.

I would recommend a larger linen closet(s). We had to install another one as the existing one is too small for three people. Also, in our model, in the foyer, it would be a good option to put in a linen closet and mudroom in the two dead spaces at the end of the hallway. That is what we did; much more room. Also, the closet in the bedroom on the 1/2 floor is much too small. There is an ample room and could definetly accommodate a walk-in closet.

The Ivey Home Team is good overall, but the final quality control needs a lot of help. The finer details are not where they should be.

Amanda and her team was wonderful to work with from start to finish pleasant experience.

The Ivey team has provided exceptional customer service. I am happy with the level of professionalism, how responsive and efficient the team is.

When choosing you should be told upfront how much of your lot will actually be usable. We chose a lot premium so have a large back yard only to realize after landscaping and fence placement we could-not get the entire back yard because there are county rules so they are unable to landscape all the way to the back property line. So essentially we paid for 1500 sq feet of unusable land. As mentioned in other reviews Ivey doesn’t supervise their contractor teams. Since moving in I have observed how these contractors work. They are very messy they throw their trash on the floor rather in a bin. Many times I had to pick up bones or cigarette butts in my yard. I observed them clearing the trash prior to landscaping and they just throw dirt on top and smoothen it over with plastic and trash buried underneath so I have no doubt there is trash buried under my lawn. I saw one contractor mix the cement for the stone work with water from a mud puddle. Before closing we did a walk through and highlighted issues that we’re supposed to be dealt with before. Then at closing they fixed the major ones but was told to put the cosmetic ones for their 30 day warranty. Some things were fixed but others still aren’t and when you contact warranty they said these contractors will follow up with you. Its been 3 months and my porch light is not working and the inside of the cabinets has a crack and no-one has contacted me. Michelle is very helpful throughout the buying process and Dale is thorough in fixings as much issues as he is responsible for. The design experience with Robin was fantastic she really knows her stuff. During the initial stage for sure I would recommend but as the process progress to closing and now finally living here it not worth the extra money for investing in a new property and you have to deal with so many issues that could of been prevented with proper supervision and disclosures.

The home is attractive and comfortable

I received excellent service from Ronda Brainard.

I would not recommend Ivey to a friend. When one has worked for 31 years and purchased a new home and in three days feices were coming through shower drain, feceis water spilling from bottom of toilet into master bedroom closet leaving brown stain on white base board, feceis water also ran into bottom of closet from 1st bathroom. When the emergency plumber came he informed me that it was due to a month's worth of feceis and tissue. Therefore t was basically used as a public bathroom.
About three days later water was again spilling from bottom of toilet. Two days later water was leaking from pipe under bathroom sink. After pipe was fixed white spray paint was sprayed over stain. When the last plumber came to fix the leak behind the toilet he stated that he knew that this is a brand new home but Things Happen as if "big deal." What a very insensitive comment. After first calling the warranty Department (Meiby Vazquez) her first comment was what am I seeking? I wanted to know if someone could clean this fecies and she stated that this was the homeowner responsibility. The smell was awful and sickening and yet I had to clean several times trying to get the sewage smell/ fecies from shower and out of the brand new home that night with no success. So here I am sitting up all night with a fowel order. This is the most disdisheartening thing that I ever experience in my life. So No, I would not recommend Ivey to a friend or to anyone.

effortless procedure - staff very helpful - see #6 - always responded to my texts & calls promptly - process from start to finish went quite smoothly considering it is the building of a new house
