I relocated to Georgia from California and thought that buying a home would be the greatest…read moreexperience of my life. My husband and I thought we were in business with the best company for building homes in Georgia. It started off great but in hindsight I realized it was because of our realtor Heather Williams. Now that we have been living in our home for only 6 months we have experienced so many things going wrong with the home. First the outlet to my daughter's bedroom went out and when they came to fix it said it was just a loose wire. Why would there be a loose wire unless it wasn't connected correctly in the beginning. Second, we have realized that flies are getting into our stove vent. Haven't figured out how that happened but realize that other homes with our type of kitchen have the same problem. Third,, our air conditioner is malfunctioning. Lastly, our dishwasher that came with the house didnt work from day one. They sent someone out to fix it and after they left we realized that it still was not working. So, my husband decided to buy the part and fix it himself because waiting for them to come took forever. And that was after, it took forever trying to get somebody to help us. I think it is because they are building the home so quickly that they are not taking pride in their work or stamping these homes with excellence. It is disheartening, upsetting, and just sad.

Buyer Beware: Our Nightmare Experience with Hughston Homes in Augusta, GA…read more This has been, without question, the worst experience we've ever had in purchasing a home and this is our third new home build. Hughston Homes has proven to be completely disorganized, unprofessional, and careless from the top down. If you're considering building with them, I urge you to read this entire review and think twice before moving forward. 1. Missed Deadlines and Poor Communication From the beginning, nothing was done on time. Communication was chaotic and uncoordinated at every stage. We had to delay closing multiple times due to inconsistencies and a complete lack of accountability. Whenever we voiced concerns, we were told to "trust the process" only to be disappointed again and again. 2. Drainage Disaster Covered Up Throughout the build, we noticed the left side of the yard was constantly wet. We were told it was "just disturbed ground" and would clear up. In reality, water was streaming from a neighboring property. Their solution? Cover it up with drainage rocks. When we kept pushing the issue, they eventually hired a cheap landscaping company that did a horrible job and water was pooling horrifically around the driveway. Out of frustration, we hired the French Drain Specialist (Excellent by the way). His words: "This is the worst French drain I've ever seen." He installed a proper drainage system that finally resolved the issue. When we asked Hughston Homes for reimbursement, they refused, saying we should have "given them the chance to fix it." But after months of failed attempts and poor work, our trust was gone. 3. Concrete Catastrophe After closing, they were supposed to come back to pressure wash the red clay off the driveway and porch. When they did, a piece of wood embedded in the porch concrete was revealed. Instead of owning the mistake, a worker (Mr. Tony) yanked the wood out, causing a long crack to the foundation. He filled the hole with mismatched concrete, leaving a very noticeable and unattractive blemish. We escalated the issue to the warranty manager, Carl, who dismissed it, stating it was "normal" and "the color will fade." He even belittled his own employee in front of us, saying Mr. Tony was "just a worker bee." How were we supposed to know the hierarchy of their internal operations? Attempts to contact Carl again were blocked by a customer care rep named Chauncey, who informed me via email that "Carl cannot call you" and that the issue was considered resolved. Meanwhile, our neighbors' porches have no cracks or concrete issues at all. 4. Unacceptable Construction Quality We were forced to come to the property daily to oversee the build ourselves. They were painting our home the wrong color until we caught the error. Their response? They banned us from the property for holding them accountable. It doesn't end there: * Appliances were scratched. * Floors were not protected; red clay was tracked throughout the house. * Windows were installed slanted. * Concrete blemishes, rushed work, and a general lack of care were evident everywhere. This company claims to build "quality homes," but our experience says otherwise. For the price hardworking families pay, there should be far more attention to detail, honesty, and accountability. We spent over $10,000 of our own money fixing issues that Hughston Homes either caused or refused to resolve. DO NOT BUY a Hughston Home. If we hadn't stayed vigilant, things would've been far worse. Unfortunately, our voices were treated as a nuisance rather than valued input from paying customers.Avoid Hughston Homes at all costs. We hope our review helps prevent others from falling victim to this disorganized and careless builder.

Terrible experience renting from the company. After the lease ended they charged us outrageous…read moreamounts for deferred maint that the owner neglected to do. Would not recommend them at all. If you are currently under lease with them, be very vigilant at end of lease. They kept our deposit plus sent us additional charges with most of the figure being "labor" but with no substantial proof of the time their employees worked on the property.

So this is what happpend to us when we moved in with First Realty…read more Before we moved in, we thoroughly inspect the unit, and asked First Realty, changes which needs to be done before we move in. As once one settled in, its hard to do the cleanup and changes. As a part of the changes, we have asked for the Oven maintainence, Bathroom repair and carpetr change. Now, here what happened next. 1. In Auburn , lease end date is 31st of July and the move in date is 13th of Aug, where no one is reponsoble or will ever manage your accomodation for 13 days. 2. You have to pay the rent before you move in, and the next month due from 1st of Sep, which means , all of us are paying for 13 days for actually nothing. 3. We moved in, and its been almost a week, still the stove and the bathroom is not fixed. We are following up every day, sometime the manager does not pick up the phone, sometime the person just transfer the call knowing its not going to go anywhere. When we met them in person, the excuse was, there are lots of unit they have to manage. 4. Last but not the lease, for the oven, someone came and verified already, and after that, its been 5 days nothing happend, when we follow up (of course in person, and phone will do no good to you), they said that person is sick now, and someone new will come to do the same thing again and then it will take time to have things fixed. So, here we are, 13 days we have stayed in different friends place, Airbnb, spending money to buy food and to stay. Now its almost a month, we do have a place now to stay, but no option to cook and still spending money to eat outside and have no options.

Forrest gently but persuasively steered us away from some potentially bad and naive decisions to a home that fit our budget, was in great shape, and in a wonderful neighborhood. He worked tirelessly on our behalf, was very responsive to our needs, knew the market inside and out, and was just a joy to work with in general. Would highly recommend him.
