Click a row in the chart to open a project, or a table row below to see its sources. The chart runs wider than the page where the record spans many years — scroll it sideways to follow a project to its handover. Every date we have is drawn. A hollow marker is only a launch year, not a date anyone published. No dates published means we looked and found none; dates not yet checked means we have not looked yet. Handing over is not finished — rows say which. A delay is shown when one source gives the promised date and another gives the real one, however rough: "2019" still counts, and the row shows how wide that is. Projects missing one of the two dates, or with sources that disagree, are left out of the figures.

Google Reviews/Maps provides the largest and only building-specific published aggregate located: 5.0/5 from 21 reviews, which converts to 10/10 under the specified curve. The visible written feedback reinforces the living-quality result with repeated praise for staff communication and the neighborhood, while no recurring complaints or structural review evidence were located.

+ Responsive communication+ Helpful sales staff+ Welcoming community+ Good neighborhood atmosphere+ Positive buying experience

no notes returned

no links returned

The visible Google feedback is strongly positive about day-to-day interaction with the builder’s representatives: one reviewer said Tracey “constantly goes the extra mile,” while another described Conner’s communication as “outstanding.” Another review called it an “awesome neighborhood with good people,” and a separate review said the community feels “welcoming”; no operational complaints were visible in the reviews read.

—/ 10
6.4/ 10

The only published property-specific aggregate located is 3.8/5 from five reviews, which converts to approximately 6.4/10; because it is based on fewer than ten reviews, the result is kept within one point of 6.5. No recurring review theme qualifies for a further adjustment, and no physical-condition evidence supports a structure score.

+ helpful builder feedback+ attractive homes
− deposit dispute− communication complaint

no notes returned

no links returned

The visible operational feedback is mixed: one reviewer said, “The Builder has been very helpful,” while another reported a $10,000 deposit dispute and that the builder “stopped all communication.” The source publishes a 3.8/5 aggregate from five reviews, but the material does not provide resident-specific evidence about security, upkeep, amenities, or long-term management.

Only buildings that have reached handover are rated. 0 of 2 projects carry no rating: a building still under construction is never asked about, one that has just been handed over may not have been reached yet, and the rest were asked about and no published resident commentary was found. Structure is fixed at handover and stays the developer's; management and living belongs to whoever runs the building now. The overall verdict weights both rather than averaging them. None of this is checked: a rating is what people published about a building, aggregated — it is not evidence, it cannot move a delay figure, and it is not part of the delivery record above.

Projects

Assessment coverage

Completed projects: 2016-10-15 through 2026-10-15. Initial research is capped at 10 completed projects and a separate delivery-risk search capped at 7 findings. Risk findings are not project assessment counts. Absence is not proof of a complete portfolio or no failures. Month-level dates overlapping a boundary are excluded from figures.

0 undated completions and 0 boundary-uncertain completions are retained but excluded from figures.

Stalled, cancelled & overdue projects

0 evidenced cases
The capped delivery-risk search ran; no project-level exception cases are recorded here. Risk findings are listed under Risks and are separate from assessed projects. This does not establish that the developer has no delivery failures.

REGULATORY December 17, 2024
A state agency action by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection resulted in a reported $72,225 civil penalty against Dream Finders Homes LLC for a water-pollution violation at a St. Johns County facility in Saint Augustine.
SAFETY / LABOUR Explosion reported April 21–22, 2025; article published April 22, 2025
A natural-gas leak ignited in a Dream Finders-built Wilford Preserve home, sending four people to hospital; reporting said neighboring homes had smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors but no gas detectors, and the State Fire Marshal investigation was still pending at publication.
DELIVERY DELAY Complaint filed December 1, 2025; events described April–December 2025
A buyer complaint reported repeated missed projected closing windows for Dream Finders’ North Beach Townhomes in Jacksonville Beach, with certificates of occupancy reportedly held up by incomplete infrastructure, pool-safety work and fire-main permits; the buyer alleged more than $30,000 in temporary-housing, storage and moving costs, while the business disputed responsibility and attributed the delay to the city and other circumstances.
LEGAL Lawsuit filed October 9, 2019; settlement March 2, 2022; payment reported April 2022
Silver Meadows Townhome Owners Association alleged construction and development defects against Dream Finders Homes LLC and subsidiary DFH Mandarin LLC; the parties settled during arbitration for $12 million with a denial of admission of liability, the insurer paid $4 million, and DFH paid the net amount in April 2022.
DELIVERY DELAY Complaint dated 2025-12-01; buyer reported missed closing windows from July through October 2025 and continuing non-delivery as of December 2025
North Beach Townhomes (Jacksonville Beach): a buyer complaint reported that Dream Finders Homes repeatedly missed its July–October 2025 projected closing windows and, as of December 2025, the townhomes still lacked certificates of occupancy because roadway, pool-safety and fire-main work remained incomplete; the complaint says no reliable closing date had been provided. This is a buyer allegation recorded by BBB, and no later completion evidence was located in the reviewed sources.
PROJECT CANCELLED 2026-06-30 denial; appeal documented in 2026 filing
Campground Road Subdivision (Catawba/Lincoln Counties, North Carolina): the Catawba County Subdivision Review Board denied Dream Finders Homes LLC’s application for approval of the entire preliminary plat on June 30, 2026 after the project became stalled by unresolved split-county jurisdiction and related approval conditions; Dream Finders appealed, so the record documents a denial and regulatory impasse, not a confirmed permanent abandonment.
LEGAL Lawsuit filed 2026-06-15; case remained open in the retrieved record as of 2026-06-30
Seminole Crossing townhome community (Seminole County, Florida): the owners association filed an open lawsuit alleging negligent and defective development, construction, design and sale of the townhomes and common areas, including alleged building-code breaches and negligent supervision; the complaint names Dreamfinder Homes LLC among multiple defendants, so the allegations do not establish liability or parent-company responsibility beyond the named project entity.
RISK Published 2025-07-24; homeowner said some repair requests dated back to 2021 and the home was purchased about four years earlier
Clay County, Florida community: Action News Jax reported a homeowner’s unresolved account of an essentially incomplete Dream Finders home, including unfinished trim, an unfinished fireplace, unsealed plumbing and drainage/flooding problems; Dream Finders disputed the account, citing warranty expiration and missed or cancelled appointments, while the homeowner said repairs remained outstanding and estimated tens of thousands of dollars in costs.
