We bought two homes earlier this year and have been very impressed with the entire operation. Tarrance, the owner, came out a month before delivery to make sure the location would accommodate the homes. He came out immediately after delivery to make sure everything was installed correctly, to include bringing his own nail gun to do some touch-ups himself. He has followed up several times to make sure we are satisfied and the housewarming gift was a very personal touch! I would highly recommend Tarrance and his team to anyone looking for personal and professional service when buying a home.
Austin went above and beyond to help us find the perfect home for our family. His knowledge, professionalism, and patience were greatly appreciated and made the experience of buying a home very easy. The entire staff works together to make the customer a top priority. If Austin was out of the office, there was always someone there and willing to help in any way. I recommend Clayton Homes of Abilene to anyone in the market for a new home. Thank you Austin, Terrance, and team, for a wonderful experience.
Terrance Parish of Clayton Homes in Abilene, TX is exceptional in his professionalism. We are from Ohio buying a home from Clayton Homes in Texas and could not be happier with both the quality of the home and with Terrances demeanor. Terrance has provided answers to every question weve had with expedience and clarity. Its difficult to be in a different state while your home is being produced and placed on your property when youre not there to see each and every step. Terrance took care of that for us. We visited TX recently and Terrance coordinated our meetings with Mr. Hutchins (the gentleman pouring and staking out our driveway) and Seth Goldsmith and Terry (the gentlemen staking out and clearing the way for the pad for our home). He even had all of us meet on the property so we could clearly see where everything would be placed. All of these gentlemen have been a treasure in keeping in touch and listening to our ideas and wishes for the home. Terrance coordinated all of this with professionalism, courteousness, wisdom and a delightful personality. At this point in the process, he will provide pictures of the process as our house grows into our home. We can call Terrance for anything we need or any questions or thoughts we might have and it is no bother for him to answer immediately or research the answer and get back to us as quickly as he can. We wholeheartedly recommend Clayton Homes of Abilene to anyone looking for a home where they can relax and be confident that their home experience will be stress-free. Thank you Terrance for taking exceptional care of us. Kathy and Dave from Ohio October 20, 2021
We looked for our home for nearly a year before we purchased, and I can confidently say these guys are the best! From financing to preparing our homesite Austin was by far the most knowledgeable home consultant wed dealt with. Couldnt be happier with our new home and look forward to many years of good memories to come. Thanks again!!!
Tarrance and his staff are friendly, welcoming, patient, and kind. They helped us design a home that met all our familys needs. We have built precious memories in our home and cannot thank Clayton Homes enough for all they have done for us! Ten years later and we still love EVERY part of our home!
We purchased our home several months ago and the process was great. Austin and Sammy were transparent with pricing and nothing was hidden from us. We purchased an Energy Smart home and true to what they say, our electric bill is half what is use to be. We would highly recommend them..
Austin was a great salesman and got everything done quickly and Vanderbilt financing was great. Those are the only positives I have. The quality of the home is terrible, we have crooked walls and door jams, uneven ceiling and the list goes on. I BEGGED to have Austin or Tarrance come see the house because I was sure it wouldn’t meet their standards but unfortunately they weren’t able to or wouldn’t I’m not sure which but we are located 3 hours away so it’d take a lot of time and gas. Steven that was sent to make some repairs was great and did all he could to at least trick the eye so you couldn’t see some of the defects. The brand new septic tank that was put in smells terrible and someone is supposed to be here this week to try to fix that. The skirting was installed today and looks horrible. Seams dont meet up and are crooked, it just sits on top of uneven ground and could easily be dug under by an animal if they can’t go thru one of the many gaps and apparently an animal had been underneath but Austin was able to tell us how to take a piece down to get it out before it died under the house. The skirting goes up and down and in and out from the edge of the house. I am very disappointed. I also find it odd when I scroll thru reviews and see several five star reviews submitted from employees. I keep hoping it will get better but so far I don’t think it will. Everything we had has gone into this purchase and we will make the best of it but I honestly could not in good conscience recommend anyone to go thru the same experience. I hate to have anything negative to say about anyone but I just can’t sugar coat this one, I think there are very wonderful people that work for the company and I hope they are doing their best. Its not personal because I do like the people I’ve dealt with but I guess my standards or expectations are too high? I can’t give a higher rating in honesty.
Tarrance and staff were very responsive to our questions and kept us updated on the progress of our home during the construction phase and delivery phase. Mark is an exceptional driver positioning the home exactly where we want it. His team was focused on the home and setting everything up readying it for us. The modifications we wanted were complete from the factory and yes there were a couple of repair issued that Tarrance and his crew quickly resolved. Definitely would recommend Clayton Homes. Thanks
Great customer experience and easy to work with, would recommend to friends and family
Salesman was very kind and easy going!We were interested in purchasing a home at a different dealership but they talked bad about them (RED FLAG) and how they could beat the prices for a foundation, septic, etc (Definitely as high as Titan(highest) or any other!!!) (LIE)We almost went through the process but some friends told us their horror story of the LIES of Clayton in Abilene. Great homes but literally once they get your money they are DONE with you.If you want honest and factual information I do not recommend Clayton in Abilene.Somebody else is getting our business!!
The most frustrating experience I have ever had. Two years now and my home is not complete. Terrance will sell you a home and then disappear without a trace. Do your home work on who you chose.
Ask for Austin (Jumper)! Not only did he walk us through the process, step by step, but he had the answer to EVERY question we had. He always answers the phone, returns text messages and kept us in the loop on everything from the financing process to the installation process. We had a problem with our hot water heater and I sent an email, at 6:30 at night, explaining the problem. He, personally, called about 30 minutes later and told us he knew a great plumber. About an hour later he sent me the plumber’s contact information and had already made an appointment for the next day for us. Not only did Austin get us into a great home that we love but he didn’t just write us off after the deal was done. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars.
The sales process was great and our sales man was super attentive.Once we got the home on site it was one issue after another and very difficult to get help. They got their money and were done with us. We were treated like an inconvenience for their mistakes. Two years later and we still have shoddy underpinning, leaking toilets, a door that won’t lock, a fridge and air conditioner that freeze up, a window that leaks and a door that leaks. Go somewhere else if you want good customer service past signing the loan documents.Yes we have contacted them numerous times and even called headquarters for help so there was appropriate effort on our part. They just didn’t want to deal with us.
Good quality homes and they tell you the price up front. I shopped a lot of places before I decided this was the place I was going to buy from. I got everything I wanted and more in my home! Also the staff was so friendly. Our salesman made us feel super comfortable and I would trust him to sell a home to any of my family and friends. So if you do go to Clayton Homes go talk to Austin! Super friendly honest fellow he will take good care of you!
Clayton Homes, Abilene, Texas:If you told me this wasnt the #1 Clayton branch in all of Texas or even the country, Id call you a liar right your face! This process has simply been amazing! Our sales Rep, Austin Jumper, made this purchase stress free! He didnt try to push us into anything, and did not use the hard sell tactic. He basically let the house sell itself. He was extremely communicative throughout it all, and kept us up-to-date every step of the way. He was respectful and extremely knowledgeable. He never once spoke a bad word about any of his competition, which I cannot say was the case with other companies. I could not have asked for a better home purchasing experience. He knows what he is doing and how to do it! THANK YOU AUSTIN!Terrance Parrish, the manager, was and continues to be ridiculously easy and pleasant to work with. He and Austin are about the most easy to work with people I have ever had the privilege of working with. Terrance performed our New Home Orientation, and it was a performance for the ages! The amount of information that he gave us was equally impressive and helpful. I appreciate his efforts in this seamless transition from renting to home ownership! THANK YOU TERRANCE!Mark, HOLY COW, MARK! He delivered our home, and his precision putting our house together was jaw dropping! He was extremely polite and very open with sharing the steps he was taking to ensure our house was set perfectly. My mother was out there when he removed the plastic, he walked over to her house and asked if she would like to see the inside (from the ground, not actually INSIDE the house). He then explained in great detail each step that he was going to take cinching the house together. ANYBODY who is respectful to my mother is ACES in my book!THANK YOU MARK!I was out at the property while the finishing trim work was being performed, and while I do not remember his name, the gentleman was also very open to answering questions and did an EXCELLENT job!THANK YOU EVEN THOUGH I FORGOT YOUR NAME! (sorry about that)Every time I called up to the home center and Isabella answered, she was also very nice to speak to, and relayed messages very quickly.THANK YOU ISABELLA!While I did not actually purchase my home from Sammy or Bryan, the other sales reps, they were very accommodating each and every time I was in the building to meet with Austin or Terrance.THANK YOU SAMMY AND BRYAN!Our house is beautiful, and If you have made it this far, then you may now realize that I MOST DEFINITELY recommend Clayton Homes of Abilene!THANK YOU to each and every one of you that made this possible!
Most friendly staff. went in just to look at what they had to offer and ended up leaving with multiple houses in mind. Friendly from the the moment I walked in and very good at salesmanship. not able to afford just yet due to college but this will be the place i go to when i am ready. 10 stars ;).
Great sales and service! Best bang for your buck! Tarrance and the team at Clayton Abilene did and an awesome job from setting up the financing to the delivery and set up! Very professional knowledgeable! Mark and his crew did an outstanding job setting up and Rafa and his team made the inside of the house look perfect!
Tarrance and his staff were awsome they treated me with so much respect and made sure I was in perfect position to get the home I really wanted. They took the time to answer every question I had. I highly recommend them.
Wouldnt show us homes because they didnt have any under $110,000.
Austin has been very easy going and and answering all of our questions. We are first time home buyers and I can tell he is going above and beyond to get us into the home we want. We havent bought our home yet and he hasnt been pushy at all. He answers my calls and texts Everytime and thats great customer service in my eyes.
I went and looked at homes and by far Clayton had some of the best Ive seen. They are beautiful inside and out and well constructed. They also had some of the best layouts and I loved that I could choose things to do to the house to personalize it for me. The service there was also great. Very knowledgeable and friendly people! I definitely will be recommending to my friends and family in the market for a new home!!
We had the worst experience with clayton homes of Abilene. Both our back doors poor water in when it rains.they have been out multiple times to fix the problem and have never gotten it fixed yet.we have bad places in our flooring that are not fixed yet either. I would never purchase from them again.
Tarrance and Mike were great. I never felt pushed to buy. My wife and i had shopped some of the other home dealers in town, and i felt like they wanted us to sign TODAY!. Tarrance and Mike werent pushy at all. This was are first time buying a home and we had a ton of questions. They answered every one of them . They walked us through the entire process from start to finish. I would recommend, if your looking to buy a new home come see these guys. Thanks yall. Chancey B
My wife and I took a road trip to go see some homes in Abilene, TX. I told my wife to search for the one with the best reviews. Surely enough it was Clayton homes.From the Minute we walked in to main office we were greeted by a gentleman named Josh. Josh was very courteous and understanding I told him I had the money to put down but I didnt have the credit score just yet. He understood our situation and didnt rush at all or push us to buy a home like some other places Ive been to here locally ( Titan Factory Homes ) . We didnt even go to his office to sign anything or talk more about numbers or check my credit (which I didnt want to)My wife and I made a decision on the home we wanted and we received pictures of it via text from Josh.We will DEFINATELY keep in touch and buy a home from Clayton Homes due to the Excellent service that was provided just to pick out our home.Thank You Josh !
Great folks, helpful in most areas and really seemed to care. We went to plenty of dealers that didnt even acknowledge we walked into the office. We love our new home!
We were treated so well by everyone we met. The homes were beautiful and not like regular mobile homes. These were built much better than the other dealers we saw in Abilene. Plus they were not pushy and took as much time as we needed.
We are first time home buyers we love our soon to be home we are very pleased with going with clayton Austin has been a great help and deserves a reward in his job need a home call Austin
Wow. Just WOW. Such a devoted and passionate people to help find a home that works for my family. Outstanding in both price and quality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a home.
We had the worst experience with Clayton Homes in Abilene. As soon as they had it on our property they were done and were unwilling to help us further. We repeatedly called for assistance and they were slow to even respond. Then when we found out that they demolished part of our property they offered only a small portion of what it would cost to replace/fix the damage. They fully admitted they did it but didnt care. Looks like the only way we are going to get even close to what it will cost to fix the damage done is a costly and lengthy court battle.Bottom line, poor customer service with no satisfaction guarentee.
I must brag on the guys from Clayton Homes. They took the time to answer all of my questions and didnt use high pressure tatics. My home was delivered as promised and they followed up with me to see if I need any service. I love my new home.
Sammy was so patient with me! I looked & couldn’t decide the one we wanted. Looking for the 5th Time we found what we wanted but needed the bathroom door widened for my handicapped mom. They worked with us & they got it done! Moving in right now! Thanks Sammy & Tarrence for getting us all fixed up! Frank & Sherry Saling 12-7-2019 Merry Christmas!🎄🎁 🥰❤️
Austin Jumper worked very hard to make this happen for us. Very appreciative of what they’ve been able to do and have it done before Christmas.
Terrance and Austin will take great care of you!
I hate to do it but, HORRIBLE!!!! I have NOT been in my house more than 7 months and it is just falling apart!!! I had to be away from my family for 9 months to make enough money to buy my family a home that we thought was grade an A quality home we were told that the kitchen cabinets were real wood when it is compressed fake wood, that will not even hole my silverware without the bottoms of the drawers falling through! There are knots all in the floor where they left things under the carpet and kitchen floor before they laid the carpet, tile work that is uneven and some without grout at all!!! windows leak, trim work that even a donkey couldnt make straight, drop can light fixtures that have a 1/2 inch gape to being flush. carpet that dont even reach the wall tile in that doesnt have grout . Go to hang TV mounts and no studs to put them in should I keep going or you should just call me Ive sent them email and no response so this is the only way that maybe I can get their attention! must I also say they have been here 3 previous times and is still messed up!
JUNK
This store treats each customer with dignity and respect. I would highly recommend to anyone.
By far the prettiest homes we looked at in Abilene. We were treated so well by all of the sales people and they didnt pressure us in any way.
Snakes! They were so worried about my credit and did not let me tell them I was paying cash. These guys just want to put you in high interest financing, stay away! I have a friend who purchased from them and it was not a good experience. Horrible service if you have issues.
We drove for 2 hours for a lousy Im sorry. According to their website, they advertise modular homes. It happens to be a lie. They dont!! If there was a negstive # I would rate them at a -5. False advertising is bad customer service.
Great homes, great service.
Beautiful homes
Thanks
