19th Annual Avid Awards for Top-Rated Customer Experiences
The Avid Awards program is regarded as a trusted benchmark of customer service performance in the homebuilding industry. Avid has long been at the forefront of bringing transparency of builder performance to consumers by consumers since 1992. Avid’s New Home Experience surveys collect detailed homebuyer feedback and provide industry-leading insights on overall satisfaction, willingness to refer, actual number of recommendations, and more.
This is the tenth straight year that Meritage Homes has been recognized for the highest homebuyer ratings. This year, Meritage Homes’ Southern California Division received the prestigious Avid Cup – Production for the first time in the company’s history. The Avid Cup is the program’s top honor, with only one builder in North America receiving the award for the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the production category.
Meritage’s Nashville division was recognized with the Avid Gold Award for having the highest customer ratings per region for a new home at the time of move-in. Additionally, the company’s Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Greenville, South Carolina, Houston, North Carolina, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh, San Antonio and South Florida divisions took home the Avid Benchmark Award for scoring among the top 25% in customer ratings nationwide.
