Stay away from this builder
I find some of these reviews with high ratings questionable, almost looks like Desantis did them to raise their ratings.
I strongly recommend to not do business with Gabe Desantis. He cannot be trusted and does not honour his word as a gentleman. Our daughter and son in law purchased a home from Desantis over 18 months ago and they haven't even started building and it's not likely that the home will be ready for the next potential closing. My son in law met with Gabe, discussed his situation and the desperate need to have a home for his family sooner than later at which time Gabe agreed to void the contract and return the deposit, so basically they had a gentlemans agreement. However when they followed up to move forward Gabe decided to hold back $10,000.00, after agreeing to return the deposit in full. He claims this is to cover costs!! I fail to see how he would incurr any costs when they haven't even stared the house, they haven't even ordered construction materials. Also Desantis would stand to gain additional monies when reselling the home as housing costs have appreciated significantly since the original purchase date. $10,000.00 may not be a lot of money for someone like Gabe who has a history of paying that in traffic violations alone but it makes a big difference to a young family. My son in law recognized there may have been administrative costs and offered to pay some monies but Gabe wants $10,000.00 ......for what??? This man is a cheat and a liar and cannot be trusted, so I suggest you do not do business with him, there are lots of great builders out there. My husband and I built 2 homes wth Losani Homes and they were both ready to move in as promised.
