About the builder

About Pulte Homes

Pulte Homes is the move-up brand of Atlanta-based PulteGroup, a company that traces its start to a single home Bill Pulte built in 1950. Pulte builds single-family homes, twin villas and some townhomes from a library of standard plans that buyers personalize with structural options and design selections, mostly in gated, amenity-rich new home communities. In the Sarasota and Manatee market it is selling in Parrish, Bradenton, Sarasota, Nokomis, Venice (Wellen Park), North Port and Englewood, and has announced EverCreek, a 1,000-home community in Lakewood Ranch. Published base prices run from the high $200,000s in North Port to more than $800,000 at Grandura in Sarasota. Most local communities include impact glass, and Pulte offers a 10-year limited structural warranty.

  • 10-year limited structural warranty; Parrish communities also cite a 5-year leak warranty
  • Florida Green Building Coalition Builder of the Year (2020 and 2023) for the most certified single-family homes, as stated on Pulte community pages
  • Impact glass included in most Sarasota-area communities
  • Life Tested Home Designs and smart home technology options
  • PulteGroup cites over 750,000 homes delivered since Bill Pulte built his first home in 1950
  • EverCreek at Lakewood Ranch: 464-acre, 1,000-home community announced June 2026

Before your first visit

Talk to Janelle before you visit Pulte Homes

Janelle began in corporate real estate sales at a Fortune 500 builder company, then oversaw sales and marketing for several of the region's most exclusive custom home builders. In 2017 she moved from representing builders to representing her own clients, so she knows how builders structure pricing, upgrades, and contracts.

  • Having Janelle on your side costs you nothing: the builder pays her fee, and you pay the same price either way.
  • She can save you money. Builder prices leave room to negotiate, and Janelle negotiates the price, the upgrades, and the incentives, then gets every promise in writing.
  • The sales team in the model works for the builder. Janelle works for you, from the first visit to the closing.
  • Call her before your first visit or online registration: most builders accept your own agent only when the agent registers you at the start.
