      Resolved
      We closed on a new home built by Richmond almost 2 weeks ago, and Richmond has still not been able to figure out how to get us access to our mailbox. We were told by our salesperson that we would be receiving mail keys at closing, then the closing agent said we needed to take the deed to the post office to get keys, then the post office said they don't have our keys and our address isn't even registered with them so we can't just have them re-key it.We have tried reaching out to literally everyone we met during the buying process to see if they can help figure this out. Our salesperson, who was already abrasive and standoffish during the buying process, has now been completely *** and didn't leave any notes about this that anyone could find. Other salespeople just keep saying this should have been taken care of at closing, or that they will look into it and then nothing happens. The construction manager just keeps telling us the keys should be at the post office in a day or two, but after 4 trips to the post office over the last 9 days, still no one seems to have any keys or any answers for us.Since we don't have access to our mail, we haven't been able to receive anything from the *** to get that set up either, so we've had to scramble to try and figure out an alternative way to get trash service set up too. We have several other important pieces of mail we are expecting and who knows if we will ever get those? We've wasted so much time calling people and waiting in line at the post office, I don't know what else to do.Now that Richmond has our money it truly seems like they don't care about us or even fulfilling their obligations to make our home fully functional.

      ******************** is a great neighborhood, but Richmond American Homes are not a great homebuilder. From the start when they poured the wrong basement floor plan and they had to dig up the concrete to fix it, now the concrete slabs in our garage have been sinking at an alarming rate. They won't even send someone out here to inspect the failing concrete. We've been told by concrete lift companies that the entire garage should have the concrete removed and re-poured. This is an issue a 3 year old house should not be having especially when paying over half a million dollars for a home. They say it's not structural or a safety hazard so it's not covered by their warranty. The steps leading into the house from the garage are floating 4 inches off the ground because the concrete is failing. That seems like it could be a safety concern to me and to visitors at my home. I've heard of other neighbors having the same problems and even Pulte Homes owners, but Pulte Homes stepped up and actually took care of the concrete issues for their customers. The fact that Richmond never sent anyone to our home to just look at this enormous problem was a huge slap in the face. The closing of our home was also a horrendous experience. We were told it would be a couple weeks before our closing. All of a sudden on the last day of the month we were called by our Richmond sales associate while we were both at work and were told we had to close that day and could not reschedule. We both had to frantically leave our workplaces and race down to their closing office. We had to bend backwards for Richmond that day to help them meet their end of month revenue target, but they can't even come inspect our failing concrete that I've been trying to get them to resolve for several months now. I'm hoping this review will get Richmond Homes to come out to my house to take care of a major flaw and and do the right thing for one of their early customers in ********************.
