Osborne homes was amazing to work with. I needed to sell our home within a month and they were able to get it done. Will definitely recommend to everyone.
I have worked for them for over a year now, and they have been fair, considerate and have not caused any problem for me. Any requests I have made for getting copies of documents or fixing any payroll issues have been tended to in timely manner.
Osborne did a great job flipping the house I bought overall. Their sense of style is excellent, and they made really good decisions on where to put outlets, etc. The quality on a few things was not perfect, however. They put paint on the concrete around the house in a way that wasn't treated right, because the paint started flaking off within days. That will have to be stripped off and redone. My biggest frustration though was that they didn't put the appliances in until the very last day of escrow, and they wouldn't tell me... read more
This company is known for 2 things. 1) Come in with a higher offer than competitors to get you to sign. 2) At the end of Escrow, "Find something wrong" and lower the amount DRASTICALLY. They are widely known for taking advantage of little old ladies and people in major distress using this tactic.
Business response:
Hi Michael, We're sorry to hear about your poor experience. At Osborne Homes, we strive to be transparent throughout the entire process and communicate openly with homeowners every step of the way. In some cases, an offer may need to be adjusted if new information about the property is discovered during inspections or title review, but our goal is always to explain those changes clearly and as early as possible. We'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience and address your concerns directly. Please ... read more
We bought our home from these people 10 years ago and have never been able to enjoy our backyard. They used filler dirt full of impossible weeds. New grass doesn't work, weed barriers don't work, we were quoted $8000 because we basically have to remove all the dirt from the entire yard. Were 3 weeks into our annual weed removal, imagine a huge backyard with weeds 5ft tall and roots that go about a foot down. We expected a better quality home purchase, very disappointed.
Business response:
Hi Regina, We're really sorry to hear about this situation you're dealing with from a house we sold you. Our company has greatly evolved over the last decade and has striven to raise our standards in all ways. This is definitely a concerning issue. We will be opening an internal case to see what went wrong and ensure a situation like this doesn't happen again.
Osborne homes don't do business with them. They offer you a decent price and sign contract and during the escrow, will switch the price on you. I was 3 weeks into escrow with them and had already made commitment on housing elsewhere. When this happened to me. Then during closing on the last day they sent partial and had to wait till the last minute to close. Will give a seller the runaround and cause more stress then necessary. Don't do business with them. You'll regret it.

Hi Alex, I appreciate your outlined feedback. The last thing we're trying to do is play games, but your experience suggests otherwise. I'm digging into the how's and why's. First, obviously the lapse in communication is unacceptable. You referenced the other poor reviews. I'm stepping up to make sure your feedback along with others is fully conveyed internally to our teams. We are working on improving our communication process so sellers like you don't feel left out to dry. Our math needs to be upfront and consistent. I'm re... read more
Crooks. Bait and switch tactics. They set up false buyers that back out resulting in them pressuring you to lower your price.
Business response:
I'm sorry you had such a poor experience. We never use false buyers as we want our transactions to flow as smoothly as you do. We do have unforeseen circumstances which affect some operations. I am working on collecting all feedback and providing big improvements to how we communicate with sellers!
I had a deeply disappointing experience with Osbourne Company, specifically with Lindsay. They made me an offer on my home that seemed fair at first, but the entire escrow process quickly revealed how predatory and disorganized they are. Throughout escrow, communication was minimal and always initiated by me. I constantly had to check in just to get basic updates or to make sure we were still on track. I was reassured multiple times that we were set to close, only to find out on the day of closing, after I reached out mysel... read more
Business response:
Hi Noeli, this is extremely disappointing, and I hear your frustration. Our operation manages and navigates many facets of risk which sometimes yields unforeseen complications. We do our best to navigate these without affecting the seller. I am in the process of collecting feedback from sellers like you so we can make our process better than ever. We don’t ever want to play games, and the pain points of your communication problems are heard loud and clear. We should have outlined all contingencies from the beginning and prov... read more
