Pulte Homes Leads Builders in Customer Satisfaction Rankings by J.D. Power and Associates®
Pulte Homes brands received more top rankings than any other homebuilder and have ranked highest in customer satisfaction in 13 U.S. markets, as reported today in the results of the J.D. Power and Associates® 2009 New-Home Builder Customer Satisfaction Study(sm).
Pulte brands, which include Pulte Homes, Del Webb, Centex, Fox & Jacobs, and DiVosta, were surveyed in 22 of the 24 markets covered in the 2009 study. Pulte Homes operations garnered 13 top rankings in customer satisfaction, and were ranked No. 2 in three markets and No. 3 in five markets.
In the J.D. Power and Associates® 2009 New-Home Builder Customer Satisfaction Study(sm), Pulte Homes operations ranked:
Highest in these 13 markets: Atlanta, Austin (tie), Charleston, S.C. (Centex), Chicago, Inland Empire, Calif. (Del Webb), LA/Ventura County/Bakersfield, Calif., Orlando, Philadelphia, Sacramento, San Antonio, Tampa, Tucson, and Washington, D.C.
Second in these three markets: Jacksonville, Sacramento (Del Webb), and San Francisco Bay Area.
Third in these five markets: Charlotte, N.C. (Del Webb), Denver, Las Vegas (Del Webb), Sacramento (Centex), and Tampa (DiVosta).
“Pulte Homes is extremely proud of its longstanding history of topping these rankings,” said Richard J. Dugas, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Pulte Homes. “Customer satisfaction is paramount to delivering a great home-buying experience and we continue to outperform our competitors in these critical areas. Through the hard work and dedication of our employees and trade partners, year after year we exceed our customers’ expectations and receive their highest rankings in this survey. Since the rankings are based on our customers’ direct input, I could not be more proud.”
Pulte Homes maintains a comprehensive system for communicating with customers to ensure their questions are answered and their needs are being met throughout the entire home sales, construction and delivery process.
For its 2009 New-Home Builder Customer Satisfaction Study(sm), J.D. Power and Associates® focused on individuals that purchased a new single-family detached or attached home during 2008. Qualifying builders in each market had to have a minimum of 150 home closings in the prior year and a minimum of 50 returned questionnaires.
Pulte Homes does not operate in one market included in this year’s survey — Columbus, OH—and did not meet the sample size requirement in Orange County/San Diego.
