failed to see Livorno model home. Tried two times. The first one i made online appointment on sunday. I recived a confirmation letter and prepared to visit Livorno model. Sunday morning they called me and told they can not meet me in sunday and canceled appointment. I made another reservation on wednesday online and recieved on site - Thank you, but didi not recieved any confirmation letter. I came to the site in appointment day and met nobody in the office. I called to Marie and she got confused in statments. Asked to come back tomorrow. They dont care about customers time at all. Will try to avoid such company and will tell all my freinds not to use their service

Attempted to go back to edit my past review but unable to, so posting new one. I’d like to leave kudos to Steven the project manager. Since he has taken over we have seen so much progress & he is SO PROFESSIONAL which we appreciate. He has kept us up to date; and has turned a bad experience for us into a much more tolerable one. We are thankful for him! I’d give him 5 stars if I were just judging him. Thank you Maronda for giving us Steven!

We are delighted so far about the home building process. We are going to have our new home in Graceland Estates, and Marie has been outstanding and very helpful during this process. Can't wait to move in! Update. Quite a few misled and outright lies. Love the house and neighborhood, but HOA ended up being 140% more than we were told and what we signed. Paid for blinds package and was told they were for every window including the garage, then told no. Then later on the houses built after ours with the side garage ended up having the blinds installed on the front garage windows. We do not have hardly enough roof vents (2 for a almost 2500 sq ft home), and the vice president or someone high up was supposed to get back with us he told my husband in an email in a few weeks, that was over 4 months ago. Still no response to our replies. Everytime we put in a work order we are told oh that is this or that service to fix that. Funny how everyone is so helpful until you sign the contract lol.

Great experience with Maronda Homes, had a couple last minute requests after submitting the paperwork for the build/design, they were very fast to accommodate and ease our minds through the process. Looking forward to the build being finished.
