Hi, everyone.
This is your new home expert and Realtor in Tampa Bay, Lance Mohr.
In this video, I want to do an honest review of Taylor Morrison Homes and talk about the
quality of construction that Taylor Morrison Homes is building in Tampa.
All right, so now let's talk about Taylor Morrison Tampa.
I want to give you an honest review.
Before I give you the review, I just want to make sure you understand the new home process.
If you haven't checked out my video on learning everything about new homes and new construction
from A to Z, I'm going to put a link above.
You could watch it after this video.
It's extremely informative.
It's going to show you how to save a lot of money in the process.
Now, when I do these review videos on builders, the things that I'm looking at is the attention
to detail outside the home, the attention to detail in the quality inside the home,
and the quality in what's behind the walls.
What I don't care about, what I'm not looking at is I don't care how nice the sales representative
is.
I'm not looking at cosmetic things like how nice the granite countertops are, or cabinets,
or flooring, or anything like that.
What I do is I take my 20 years in the business and I look at the quality of the builder.
I talk to different realtors, my peers in my office, in the different offices on what
they know and what they think about the builder.
I call my home inspector that does tons of home inspections on new home builders.
I even call the sales representatives of Taylor Morrison and talk to them, and get their input,
asking them, "What makes you different?
What makes you better than the other builders out there?"
Now, Taylor Morrison is what I would call a level two builder.
They're not an entry level builder, they're a mid-level builder.
They're also not a semi-custom or an upper-level builder.
They're a mid-level builder level two.
If I was to give a builder a three-star review, that's basically what you would expect out
of the mid-level builder.
In other words, they're doing basically what the other builders in their class, their level
two class in the area are doing, no more, no less.
When it comes to Taylor Morrison Tampa, I would give them a three-star review.
Here's why I gave them a three-star review.
Now, I've talked to my home inspector, he pretty much just states they're an average
builder.
I think they're a good builder.
I think Taylor Morrison has some really good floor plans.
I think exterior wise, they're middle of the road.
What's behind the walls, pretty much middle of the road, but I think interior, they really
do some really good stuff with their floor plans.
The reason why I gave them a three-star review is because I called one of their sales representatives.
I told them I was going to be doing this review.
I asked him, I said, "Tell me what makes you better than the other builders that are in
your class, the other type of volume builders out there that are mid-level builders?"
I couldn't believe it.
He said, "Really nothing.
We're all pretty much about the same."
Now, whether they are or whether they're better, he couldn't tell me they were.
If they are better, then this management should have done a little better job explaining why
they're better.
If he can't give them what I would think would be higher than a three-star review, why should
I?
I'm saying Taylor Morrison is right in the middle of the road with the other builders.
You pretty much get what you expect to get.
Now, whether you're buying a Taylor Morrison home or any new home, I would highly advise
you to work with a real estate agent, an agent that knows what the heck they're doing with
new construction, whether it's myself or whether it's someone else.
Get an agent to represent you.
If you have any question to whatsoever, please let me know.
Leave anything in the comments if you want to add to it or if you have anything to say
about Taylor Morrison Homes or any other builders.
I'm doing this for you.
I'm doing this to help you.
I hope this helped you.
I hope you enjoy this.
I look forward to talking to you.
Have a great day.
