The purchase process was great, The inspector missed some major problems and in the past 3 months they have not been resolved. The contractors that they have retained, most don't show up to the appointments, but a few were pretty good about keeping to their word. I am still waiting to be able to use the house fully. It's taking some time.

Ooof- where to begin? I truly rarely write negative reviews for companies, I have a high tolerance for mistakes and tend to give the benefit of the doubt. But our experience with Divvy has been just awful from start to finish. I am a top producing Realtor in a major metro area. My friend from college called up- his family is living in a Divvy home and they were approved to move to another home within the program. I set to work helping them find a new home. Divvy made the process literally an IMPOSSIBLE task. With the "shifting market" I don't think they WANT to buy any homes. Their criteria standards were completely unreasonable, they would disqualify every possibility after my clients got excited about it, because of something ridiculous, and not even entertain the possibility of fixing it or having sellers address it. They want only the "best quality homes", yet had us working with a very low budget. It was totally confusing trying to figure out which homes actually worked with their "calculator". Then.. they would only offer 10-20% below asking on any home you might miraculously manage to find. This is not something that works here- we are still experiencing a severe inventory shortage, seeing multiple offers at times, and homes are receiving a solid 94% of asking across the board. Divvy's communication was so bad to the point of being comical...no one had ANY idea what anyone else was doing or telling us. None of the information matched. You never spoke to the same person twice, and got to start over anew with each person who had no idea of the history. We finally got down to our LAST 2 options for homes in the area. I spent hours collecting information to frontload to Divvy, so that we knew BEFORE we went to see them whether they would qualify for criteria an whether they met the calculator budget numbers. Of course.. my clients got their heart set on one, only to find out after seeing them that they didn't even come close to qualifying for the needed amount to make an offer. I could go on.. and on.. and ON. We politely and clearly expressed our issues at every step of the process, and no one took any meaningful action to address any of it. My poor clients are so disheartened that they are leaving Divvy and plan to lease for a while and shore up their finances to go the conventional qualifying route, even though they are forfeiting money to do so. I really wanted Divvy to be a useful tool that I could offer to clients going forward. However, I am now bent on making sure that EVERYONE in the Real estate sphere knows to stay far, far away from this utter hot mess of a company.

Hi, thank you for your candid review, and we apologize that Divvy Homes didn’t end up being the right choice for your clients at this time. Here at Divvy Homes, we aim to make home ownership more accessible, especially for those who may be looking for an alternative to a traditional mortgage. While we would love for the Divvy program to work for everyone, please be aware that all of our applicants must meet our minimum credit requirements to be approved, and the homes for consideration need to meet our minimum purchasing requirements. For instance, if an applicant has lower credit, this may affect the budget they are eligible for through our underwriting standards; or a home that has major structural issues may impact our ability to make an offer. We’re here if you ever want guidance on our program or offering, and we appreciate you giving us a try. For more information, we encourage you to review our Help Center at https://help.divvyhomes.com/

My experience with divvy has been ok. We started our journey with divvy back in September 2022.a They paired me with a really good realtor. But my dislike is that there were homes that i put in for that they low balled the heck out of. There was one house i tried for that was selling for $120k but the gave an offer of $100k. The seller decided to walk away because divvy wouldn't move from that figure. The other thing divvy has going on is communication. I like to text but not all the time especially on important business matters. I would call but they perfer text. I understand that its busy from time to time but on some things you just need someone to verbally explain and break stuff down that cant fix in a text. Lastly the portal system used online needs an update of some sort. There were times i couldn't view documents due to constant errors or mysterious payments coming up on my side of the system saying it needz to be paid but not on their side. Also the inspector for my house is like a beast at his job. Which can be good but not all the time. I talked with the seller of our new home and the things this man did i would be writing about here all day. Overall divvy may have its issues but so far it is a good company trying to do things to help people.
