The homes are about average. Like any builder, they tend to lean towards cheaper materials in order to keep profit margins high. Nice homes, but not worth the price, in my opinion. Only real issue I have is how they designed the light switch placement in many rooms and how many unnecessary 3 and 4 way switches there are. My goodness is the placements of the switches in these homes illogical half the time.
Edit: In response to their response that I received. The highly visible aspects of the home are high quality, that's part of the reason the cost is high. However, when looking at low-level details

Nice quality home, just had our 11-month home inspection with Matt. Matt is excellent, extremely knowledgeable, personable, had the solutions we needed and scheduled follow up. Mary Lange was exceptional as well on the selection and purchase end. 5 Stars.

Hands down one of the best home buying experiences. We were hours away from signing a contract with Pulte homes but decided to make a quick pitstop at RT Homes in Lakeville to check it out. My wife and I met with Lisa Norton, who is smart, experienced, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Lisa helped us find our new home and answered all of our questions to ensure we got everything we wanted on top of moving in on time. It is because of Lisa Norton that we ended up buying our new home with Robert Thomas and we are so happy we did! We have lived in the house 3 weeks now and are loving the neighborhood

Robert Thomas Homes built our single level living Villa in 2018. Michelle Schwartz was our sales person and she was wonderful to work with. Gail Dougherty was the designer we worked with and she was excellent and very helpful. Greg Mefford oversaw our home construction and he was terrific. All around it was a great experience. We love our new home. Whenever we had a repair needed we contacted Jessica Warren in Customer Care and she made sure the warranty service was completed in a timely way. We just completed the year end warranty service and Bill Neumann, our Customer Care Representative made
