GL Homes is a new home builder in Florida. Since 1976, GL Homes has grown from a small, local builder to one of the nation's largest. The success of the company is in the details. Many of the features that add value to a GL home and a GL community are not visible at first glance. Land purchases are strategically made. Master plans are crafted to balance the use of open space, lakes and recreation areas. Communities are carefully planned to be both beautiful and functional. Floorplans are scrutinized for a maximum use of space and functionality. Top quality materials are introduced at every step in the process. As you walk through our incredible decorated model homes, you can see the difference in quality and excellence. We encourage you to visit a GL Homes community today and discover the GL difference.

Terrible company and terrible people. No work ethic, liars no morals and no respect. They took $66,632 of my earnest money. Before to sign the contract I asked to sales woman, what will happened if my economical situation changes?. She response, that will be consider hardship situation, and we will give you your deposit back. After that her financial company try to qualify me for a loan that couldn't make it. Instead of give back my money, the Saleswoman send me to her personal friend to give me a pre-qualification letter, so they can pass the Contingency date. After 2 years when the home is going to be ready this Loan Officer can not qualify me anymore for a Loan. I try to apply with more Loan Companies and everybody say that it was irresponsible the first pre-qualification. Now GL homes has a Home that is worth $300,000 more than the original price plus my earnest deposit. As soon as they realize that you are in troubles, they don't respond your phone calls and the emails bounce back. 2 years to build a home is too long, your economy can change or the interest can go higher, so you are in a risk to loose everything. GL Homes they don’t care about your feelings. This people just try to get your money, and as soon as you sign the contract they will make you regret if you make one mistake, because they have “The Best contract” called bullet-proofs, or customer-proofs. Which means the buyer always loses no matter what. My recommendation is don’t sign the contract on the spot because of desperation. Take it to your lawyer and double check before you sign with the devil. In the answer from GL homes posted 06/01/23 you can find out, that they just lie to the people. He wrote "We always strive to create a happy homebuyer experience for our customers" that is a lie, because it is no "ALWAYS". My 2 little daughters, my wife and me are not happy, because we don't have a place to live. We are not rich. We don't any money in the bank after 2 years that I was promise them for a home. I can see that you don't have any remorse to took our money, no even an apology. At least, I'll be happy if 1 person see this review, and avoid to make business with your company and suffering what we are feeling right now.

We're very happy with our home and it's everything we expected. Everyone at GL Homes has always been very quick to respond to us with any questions we had. Our final walk throughs were very thorough and all of our questions and concerns were addressed. Our home is under warranty for the first year and so far GL Homes has been very prompt in taking care of any of the problems we have found.
Description of Work: I purchased a new construction home home from GL Homes. We picked out the lot, model and upgrades. The estimated time that GL Homes gave us for the home to be constructed was accurate. We also used GL Finacial and felt they were helpful and worked with us.

Excellently
Description of Work: We were among the first to buy into Valencia Lakes in Tampa. We love our home and community. Recently we were discovered to have Chinese drywall. Even though they could have avoided responsibility, they did not. At their cost they have moved us into a villa for 5-6 months and have completely gutted our house, replacing everything with new. We will have an even better house when we move back. They have done everything in their power to make us comfortable. We are awed by their responsiveness and feel extremely lucky to have chosen GL homes.
