Because there are not many reviews on Divvy Homes
Only writing this because it’s not many people out there who have made reviews. The process is quick but you have to have your money ready. I went with one of the divvy owned homes. The reason I did this is because the monthly payment fit my budget. I went into the house and it was nasty, dirty, lights flickering, lights not working, and a major appliance (range) was malfunctioning (burner was not working, light saying that the stove top is hot says on all of the time, and oven does not close all of the way). I told my agent and she put in a maintenance request for it. When I went over to the house to check out the “repairs and fixes” the house was wiped down barely, carpets were vacuumed, floor was still sticky, place was dusty, filters were old, and the range was still disgusting, not closing properly. Lights were still flickering and some still did not work. I told my agent that there is no way that this place will pass a normal loan inspection process. My agent said that because divvy is a new company based in California they don’t have the resources to address my issues. I asked can they consider this in the price of the home and my agent made it seem like there was no debating the price. If Divvy owns the home cant they change the price?? Especially since they have been saying that they are being more conservative with their offers. This company owns thousands of homes. You would think addressing a range and cleanliness of the property would be a drop in the bucket for them. Especially if they just lowered the buy back price in my case or simply swapped out the stove. I ended up dealing with it and pulling the trigger. I emailed divvy many times. No one gets back to you ever. If it is like this now I can only imagine how it will be when it is time for me to buy… Divvy, you need to consider your buyer experience, there should be additional help on Divvy’s side not just the agent. Consider making it more livable for the renter and I am telling you they will convert and buy. Also, the clause that says if your house doesn’t appraise is bull. You telling me that if the place can’t appraise I have to come up with the difference? That is predatory and you all know it. Buyers beware.
