For anyone searching for a new build home in the Aransas Pass, Texas area, DO NOT BUY FROM T&G VACATION PROPERTIES (Located right here in Aransas Pass)TLDR:: T&G Vacation Properties lied to me about their responsibilities.Do NOT purchase a home from them. And do you really want to rent from a company that doesn't live up to their responsibilities? NO!..................................We purchased our brand new house from T&G Vacation Properties in April 2022.WE ARE NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE!We agreed on a price reduction of $3,000 because we didn't want their sod package.We wanted to plant all natives.In May 2022, just weeks after our purchase, we had some heavy rain. Our backyard had several low areas where the water was pooling, very close to the house.We contacted T&G and was told that since we declined the sod, that we were not covered for the grading.We trusted them at their word.(My mistake! But we had what I thought was a good relationship with them.)Fast forward to May 2023.More heavy spring rains.But this time, the water not only pooled near the house, the water came right up to our back door.Literally a fraction of an inch from entering our home.We again contacted T&G explaining that this is no longer a minor issue & needed to be handled by them.They again refused, stating that they aren't responsible because we declined the sod.And went on to say that I could go ahead & contact the warranty company as it wouldn't do me any good.Then, I spoke with our neighbor that had a T&G home built a year earlier than ours.They also had grading issues.And, they do have the sod package.T&G told them they weren't responsible.My neighbor also believed them & did not pursue the issue.We contacted the warranty company about the grading.We were told that T&G were responsible for the grading.But only for the 1st year!Which was up literally 3 weeks prior to the flood.So we were out of luck.The take away here is that:***WE TRUSTED AND TOOK T&G VACATION PROPERTIES AT THEIR WORD.ONLY TO FIND OUT A YEAR LATER THAT THEY WERE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GRADING ISSUE.THEY FLAT OUT LIED TO US ABOUT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.NOW IT IS COSTING US THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROPERLY DEALT WITH LONG BEFORE WE EVER MOVED IN TO OUR BRAND NEW HOME!($4,000 for gutters, $1,500 for flood insurance (WE ARE NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE!), $1,000 to rent a mini bulldozer to grade the yard ourselves, and then, thousands more to re-landscape.)This definitely falls into BUYER BEWARE!So I suggest thinking long & hard if you are considering purchasing or even renting any home from T&G Vacation Properties.
