Home builders differentiate themselves by the quality of their work. Kent Homes delivers.
Lead Source - We heard about Kent Homes because we looked at a house down the street when we were driving from Florida to North Carolina. Our realtor showed us the Kent Home. The other house was built by a different builder, but our realtor showed us this one as well.
Understanding Of Cost - It was a very easy process to come to an agreement on price because the house is almost done. We were not part of it from the beginning.
Favorite Design Feature (At Contract) - I am most excited about the quality of the structure, insulation, windows, and doors.

Areas For Improvement - Kent Homes has not fallen short of our expectations.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Kent Homes met/exceeded our expectations because their quality is superior to other new construction builds.
Additional Comments - So far, so good. We can't wait to see the finished product. I am glad Kent Homes conducts these surveys at different parts of the process.
The quality of the work is far better than I was expecting. I am very pleased with their workmanship and quality. I have purchased other homes in other areas and Kent Homes exceeded my previous experiences.
Lead Source - My fiancé has purchased a home through Kent Homes before. It has been 4.5 years. We are selling both of our homes and buying a new one. So he had heard about them 4.5 or 5 years ago.
Favorite Design Feature (At Contract) - I am most excited about the bonus room upstairs. My fiancé loves the garage with the extension. I am really excited about the kitchen.
Customer Suggestion - I do not have suggestions for Kent Homes at this point. I am new to this, so I am keeping very good contact with the project manager and Kayla. I think if I had any questions or concerns, I could certainly contact them.
Recognized Excellence - Kenny Jones, the project manager, provided exceptional service.

Everything was great. We would recommend Kent Homes to everyone from what we have seen to this point.
Lead Source - Once we decided on Compass Pointe, we looked at the builders, models, and comments. We liked the models and visited with builders to go over the models. We felt we had good support, and the pricing was also good.
Value - I have not seen the house built yet, but so far, I would give it five stars.
Favorite Design Feature (At Contract) - For me, the open floor plan and enclosed porch would be my favorite features.
Customer Suggestion - It sounds very organized, but since I have never been through it, I feel I have more questions.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Kayla, the salesperson, for her exceptional service.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Everything has been fine. The feedback and follow-up with explanation, as we had lots of questions.
Additional Comments - Everything is good so far.
Great service from everyone since day 1.
Lead Source - From the Brunswick Forest website.
Salesperson Accessibility - Kayla has been phenomenal - knowledgeable and responsive.
Salesperson Communication - She responds to all our questions promptly and met with us when convenient for us.
Sales Knowledge - Provided a ton of info at all our meetings and made sure we understood the process.
Salesperson Trust - She has responded to all our questions.
Preconstruction Budget - We are definitely over our budget. I guess that’s on us. We asked a few times if any allowances or credits were possible, but sadly the answer was “no”. That said, I don’t think that’s Kayla’s decision or within her authority.
Options - Lots of options if willing to pay for them.
Favorite Design Feature (At Contract) - Fireplace in loggia and coffered ceiling.
Recognized Excellence - Kayla has been wonderful. Very patient and informative. Have only talked with Alina once so far but she’s been great.
Areas For Improvement - We had hoped to not move into our home until two months later but were told we would need to adhere to your timeline. Just wish we could have delayed the start or completion to better fit our preferred timeline.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Almost all of them so far.
Favorite Design Feature (Selections) - Feature wall in great room.
Recognized Excellence - Alina Aviles and Kayla Palladio have both been fantastic every step of the way this far.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Making the remote building experience extremely easy!

PM Expertise - Has provided great insights.
PM Problem Resolution - Helped us especially during our pre-drywall inspection.
Clean & Safe - One of the cleanest job sites we’ve experienced (7th home).
Employees & Trade Contractors - Only worked directly with landscapers and A/V but all have been great.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Communication with us since we are not local.
Recognized Excellence - Everyone! Dade, Kayla and Alina have been wonderful to work with. All three have been very professional and helpful.
Areas For Improvement - Learned that the landscape allowance is nowhere near adequate for what the community requires. Has necessitated a significant additional financial outlay from us. Not sure I’d say that is Kent’s fault, but perhaps creating more awareness of that up front would have been good.
Additional Comments - Appreciate how everyone has been so helpful at Kent. You make building for those not local pretty easy.
Overall, our experience with Kent Homes was very positive. Being the first time we ever built a home, we were extremely nervous. But, after reviewing the process, we felt much more comfortable & learned a lot. Archie, our PM, was our lifeline to the build & was patient with all of our questions & concerns! If someone wants a quality home & a more stress-free experience, build with Kent Homes!
Clean & Safe - Archie is the best! He was on top of keeping the job site safe & cleaned up at all times.
Quality Of Workmanship - We had a few minor issues, but they were addressed with no problem.
PM Professional & Organized - Again, Archie was on top of everything & was always very professional.
Communication - Archie was timely with his communication & very detailed.
PM Expertise - We’ve never built a home before this one & Archie made us feel comfortable that he knew what he was doing. We certainly didn’t!
PM Problem Resolution - Our original floor was found to be defective by Archie just about a week or so before we moved in. He notified us right away & we were able to pick a new floor & it was installed before we moved in! There were other smaller issues that were addressed & resolved quickly.
Condition of Home - Cleaners did an “ok” job of cleaning the house before we moved in. I did find lots of “construction dust” on all the surfaces that I cleaned up.
Orientation Punch List - Archie compared our list to his & did a good job of addressing the items on the list.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The final “product” has exceeded our expectations. We love the house more than we thought we would! Your process is sound for a non-custom house (room to tweak!). Your numbered step by step guide made it easy to follow & understand where we were in the build at any given time. I’ve heard from MANY people having homes built by other builders that their process was a nightmare. We were over 500 miles away while our house was being built & maybe it was naive, but we weren’t really stressed at all!
Areas For Improvement - - We were surprised by the extra cost to get the lot prepped. I think Kent should up that basic cost so it isn’t such a shock right off the bat. - Landscaping costs. Again, your basic cost that’s built into the contract is too low. Kent needs to review those costs & make sure they’re realistic. - Your selections process: too short. A day & a half is not enough time. And our house is small! And, we did our homework!! Minimum 2 days for a smaller house & some people may need three days. - The “book” given to us with options for selections was difficult to navigate & had lots of black & white, low res pics. We went on line to try & find better pics. Most of your links did not work. - The house plan. It would be best to construct a more immersive plan. 2D or even 3D. A flat black & white view on the computer screen was difficult to really tell what was going on when sitting with our selections rep & looking at it at home.
Recognized Excellence - Carol Hobbs. So knowledgeable & helpful & responsive.
Additional Comments - It’s a big step to move to a new state/town knowing no one. And, we aren’t very trusting people when it comes to major purposes &, honestly, hiring professionals without a personal recommendation. We did our research, that’s for sure. But, in the end, we made the leap hoping the experience would go well. It did!
Lead Source - They are one of the preferred builders for the area we wanted to build in. We heard about them from our realtor.
Favorite Design Feature (At Contract) - The back porch and the kitchen are the features I am most excited about.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Kayla. She has been awesome, and I have been very impressed with her.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Kayla met/exceeded my expectations with her customer service. She has been awesome, and always responds to us in a timely manner even though she has a lot going on.
Areas For Improvement - During the selection process, several times the selection consultant was kicked out if the system used to document the selections and our last 1-2 hours fo work was lost. This piece was frustrating as we had to go back during our review process to uncover items that were missing and undocumented from our selections.
Favorite Design Feature (Selections) - Laundry Room
Recognized Excellence - Amy Barnes & Ella Richardson
We would recommend Kent Homes without reservation to anyone looking to build a quality built home.
Lead Source - Community representative

Customer Suggestion - Give Amy a raise!! She’s amazing!
Areas Of Satisfaction - We have been completely pleased with every step of our process so far! Kate DaSilva has been amazing to work with!! She handed us off to Amy for selections & we are so pleased with the entire process so far.
Areas For Improvement - I would suggest improving the lighting selections and the levels a bit. Maybe I’m just really picky, but having to go up to level 8 for nice, current lighting options was a bit daunting.
Clean & Safe - Site was always clean
Communication - Chris always answered our calls/texts promptly…informed us of happenings in a timely manner.
PM Professionalism - Chris knows his stuff!
PM Expertise - Always trusted Chris had the know-how to handle our build!

Trust - 100% trust Chris to handle any issue…he never left us hanging.
Schedule - We were right on schedule!
Areas Of Satisfaction - Kent Homes delivered our home to us on time & without any major issues/concerns.
Areas For Improvement - We are very happy with our Kent Homes Shelter Bay. Our selection’s appointment with Amy was an easy experience, until we saw the pricing of some of the upgrades we chose. Basic/included features and allowed amounts just aren’t adequate for the average “custom home” buyer. Examples, bathroom fixtures & lighting options…to choose fixtures to our liking/design style added a substantial amount to our bottom line. Landscaping allowance for our community is not in line with the mandatory requirements of our POA. We understand the building process, and economics of building, and overall we are very pleased with our new home. ZERO REGRETS about choosing Kent Homes as our builder.
Recognized Excellence - Every person we worked with during our building experience was professional, fun, knowledgeable and experienced. Kate DaSilva was amazing & so helpful!! Amy McKay was great in assisting with our selection process, and then as Kate’s step-in when Kate went on maternity leave. Chris Moore was the perfect addition to complete our building team. Chris always had our back in the process!
Lead Source - From the St James realtor who sold me my lot. Eddie Addison
Additional Comments - Everything has been excellent and my home construction started on time. Carol Hobbs was terrific as was Alina Aviles who handled my selection process. Both Carol and Alina were knowledgeable and easy to work with. Vey happy I chose Kent Homes.
Additional Comments - The construction process has been very smooth even given the supply chain disruptions. Archie has kept me informaed and any small issues my "eyes and ears" on the ground has picked up they were all quickly resolved.
Kent Homes has been there by our side for the entire home-building experience. Our e-mails and concerns have been answered in the same day and their recommendations and suggestions have been spot on. I have heard from others working with different builders in the area and it seems we have much more communication and on-site pictures than others do. Thank you Kent Homes

Favorite Design Feature (At Contract) - I am most excited about the customized layout.
Customer Suggestion - I would suggest including some of the most popular optional selection in a base package.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The flexibility exceeded my expectations.
Design Consultant Communication - Alina was great about letting us know what to expect during the selections process. We received several publications that offered in-depth overviews of each design choice. This even included a link to a paint design palette, which allowed us to test out different color scenarios.
Professional & Organized - Alina was very professional, but very personable. We spent quite a bit of time together, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Design Consultant Knowledge - Alina knows her stuff! She was able to address everything from color schemes to outlet placement to gas lines. She had great insight, and was able to relate how a decision in one area would affect the project elsewhere.
Design Consultant Problem Resolution - We are planning to upgrade our kitchen appliances, including a rather large refrigerator. We realized the refrigerator might affect the cabinet design. Alina worked with her team and within 24 hours provided the perfect solution.
Design Solutions - In addition to reconfiguring our kitchen cabinets, which was no small undertaking, Alina helped us think through the master bath, and imagine our backyard patio/firepit scenario, among many other ideas.
Design Consultant Accessibility - Alina is tightly scheduled, since she is 100 percent focused on helping buyers' design their homes. While we appreciated having her undivided attention during the process, we found that we would sometimes have to wait a day or two to get an email returned. This is not her fault, but it was a bit frustrating. When we did get a response, Alina always answered our questions thoroughly and accurately.
Selections Budget - Alina was very good about letting us know the cost of each addition.
Design Consultant Trust - Alina followed up on all outstanding issues in a timely manner. She had our complete confidence and trust throughout the selections process.
Favorite Design Feature (Selections) - Our loggia! Coming from New England, we are looking forward to year-round access to what will essentially be an outdoor living room.
Recognized Excellence - Carol Hobbs and Alina Aviles.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Customer service has been great. Also, the reason we selected Kent was because of the BarHarbour I floor plan and the flexibility we were given to add a second floor balcony.
Areas For Improvement - So far so good!
Lead Source - We researched the home builder options in Brunswick Forest. We also asked around the neighborhood and received very favorable feedback on Kent Homes.
Additional Comments - Everyone at Kent Homes has been awesome to work with from Ashley Kent to all of the staff we have worked with. Kayla, Kate, Tim, Alina, Vanessa, and Kenny have been right there with us through the process thus far. This is obviously a small, close knit unit with the buyer's interests in mind. Would will definitely be recommending Kent Homes to our friends and family.
Construction Quality - When we first toured homes in Brunswick Forest, we knew that we would build with Kent as the quality of the finishes within the Kent Homes really stood out as far superior to other builder’s homes on the tour.

Recognized Excellence - Kate DaSilva, Kayla Paladino and KENNY JONES!! We won the lottery with this group and have been in the best of hands throughout the build.

Additional Comments - We really like the Kent Homes experience.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Completion of home prior to projected completion date. Communication throughout the process.
Areas For Improvement - From my experience, there is room for improvement in the design phase and completion of final plans. There were mistakes made in capturing my selections and it appeared that it was my responsibility to identify those errors/mistakes. The plans submitted to me for review were not aligned with my conversations during selections and there were several iterations that were sent to me that did not include changes I identified. I did not have confidence that what we discussed was captured and spent hours reviewing several versions of plans as they were updated. It would have been helpful if there had been more comprehensive review by Kent personnel to ensure that the plans were complete.
Recognized Excellence - Carol Hobbs was very thorough in guiding us through the process and was very responsive to questions. Chris Moore kept us informed as to the status of our home and diligently worked to resolve issues to our satisfaction.
