Phoenix Homes

Very unhappy with their sale process. Very unethical in my view. They used a real estate firm to sell one of their ready for occupancy home but they included in their counteroffer a requirement for us to sign their standard agreement within 5 days. It took us 4 days to get a copy of this standard agreement and then saw that they were changing the basic agreement reached through the offer process such as final price and closing date. I was then asked to sign it as is or the offer would be null and void. I couldn’t sign such outrageous agreement and they cancelled their counteroffer. This practice should be illegal. I was dealing with them in good faith but they certainly were not. Phoenix Homes Ottawa is just a common greedy and unethical builder.

Our experience at Phoenix Homes Design Centre was top notch! Our design associate Joe Khoury was amazing! He was very pleasant and approachable, he helped us through every step of the design process. We did not feel rushed, he answered all our questions and if he didn’t know the answer he would find out and get back to us promptly. Joe was very helpful in advising us on design issues. Joe and the Design Centre was the high point of our purchasing experience with Phoenix Homes. The McNeil’s

This is the worst home builder you will ever come across. Not only do they have no design options that are standard and nice, everything is an unreasonable upgrade. Their upgrades are not top quality. They cannot provide a closing date. Expect your home to be delayed by 2 or more years. This home buyer will also come after your for additional costs after you finalize your package. Unqualified and unhelpful staff. This company only protect itself and wants to make money off of their clients at all costs.

You better go with another builder with your loved floorplan, dont rely on Phoenix to custom your floorplan. Phoenix charged different price for same upgrade for different customers. If they see you need that upgrade, they charged you more. I purchased lot 272 in pathway in Sep 2020, paid 300k in upgrade. They charged me almost $46000 plus tax when people pay only about $26000 plus tax to extend the squarefootage. I did not know the price at that time and decided to go with the extend squarefootage option because I think my house will look much better with that extension and I trusted them with the price quoted. After that I realized they only charge half as a design option (i have proof). This is absolutely rip off and my $20000 (plus tax) was stolen by builder. I sent the vice president an email to complaint and request for price correction but all he said was “i stand by the decision of my sale manager”. I am going to write reviews with pictures attached as proof in all of website, forum, google, social media etc about Phoenix. House is not built yet but i am absolutely not happy about them. On top of that, they delayed my house twice. It is about 2.5 years since the date i signed contract with them and my foundation is not even started yet. Not cool at all ! Luckily at least i am not paying rent while i am waiting for them to build my house, otherwise it’s gonna be a big mess for our family. Do not go with Phoenix, they take 3 years to finish your home. Lots of change in 3 years, you should not take the risk of waiting game and their nonsense customer service!!! I’ll add more comments about their quality when my house is built. For now, all i can say is “DO NOT TRUST THEM!” You can only see good comments in their public posts, so what the fact is? I made a review on their facebook page, they deleted my review comment and block me on facebook so that i can no longer made comment and i am sure i am not the first one they have done so. So people don’t see the ugly side of Phoenix. I’ll wait to see their quality after built and i’ll review it to everyone. DISAPPOINTED!!!
