Comstock Homes, Inc

I tried to buy one of their townhomes at Shady grove metro. I ended up buying a home elsewhere in large part because of their extremely unprofessional sales manager Michael Weiner. This guy makes a used car salesman seem like an esteemed, honest professional.
First, the delivery dates on the homes are completely fabricated. Michael Weiner outright lied to me about a September delivery on the townhome I was looking at because he knew that was the timeframe I needed. However, he’s not smart enough to lie consistently so I figured out myself that this home would actually be done more like in December (eg, he told me construction takes four months, but this does not account for permits, inspections, and any weather). If the place has a December delivery, that’s fine but there’s no reason to lie to a buyer. Once I started asking for documentation such as construction schedules, start and end dates on the existing homes, he ignored my calls and emails.
Second, read their contract very, very carefully before signing and giving them any money. They have the right to hold your money (about 5% of purchase price) hostage for two years without any commitment on their part to have the home completed when you are told. Yes, all builder contracts are skewed towards the builder. However, Comstock has a history of financial instability, defaulting on loans, and not completing their projects.

I ended up buying an EYA home and I couldn’t be happier. The sales process was the complete opposite of what I experienced with Comstock. EYA was open about the entire sales and construction process. They happily provided all documentation I asked for, always responded to emails and questions in a timely manner, and my home was delivered exactly when they said it would.
Buying a home is the biggest investment you will make in your life. Go with a financially stable company that will be honest with you and treat you with the respect a purchase of this magnitude deserves.
