  **Buyer beware. With most new construction, the builder prefers to deal directly with the consumer without any buyer representation. This creates an uneven playing ball field, especially for one of the largest transactions of your life. Evidently, this builder makes empty promises and fails to deliver on time. If you are considering an Aurora home, you may want to seriously reconsider. The work may never be completed, and your deposit will be at risk. This builder uses your deposit money to fund another property while the builder is constantly operating behind schedule. A total scam**

  Be very careful before making a deposit with this company. They do a great job selling as a family run builder who does all work themselves. Aurora lays out this perfect timeline for the construction of your home, but then once they have your deposit, the game changes! Aurora will explain away the delays for site work, as permitting issues, then weather conditions, then back to the county on permitting, claiming there’s so much building the county can’t keep up. Aurora appears to run there business like a Ponzi scheme, dragging out the project until some unsuspecting drops a deposit down, so they can do a little on the next one to make it appear there’s been progress. Then the excuses start again, all the big developers are getting the concrete trucks, and we are getting blocked out, so can’t get the foundation poured. Buyers Beware!

  Buyer beware! If you are considering Aurora Homes for your build, feel free to contact me “before” you sign a contract. I can tell you about our experience. *Update** It has been over 2 months since we posted our last review of Aurora Homes. Unfortunately, nothing has changed with the progress of our new house build, even though the owner assured us several times that there would be progress. It is over a year now (12/2024) since we signed the paperwork with Aurora Homes and gave a significant deposit to build our home, with said completion by August/September 2025. We have had nothing but excuses, lies and misinformation from Aurora Homes that were confirmed with several Sussex County Government Offices. We were even advised by one of the Sussex County Offices to contact the Attorney Generals Office and Better Business Bureau, due to his past. After 9 months of these lies, excuses and misinformation regarding the permits, worker, and supply shortages, a foundation was finally poured in September 2025. Yes, the same September 2025 that the house was originally said to be completed. And to top it off, during those 9 months that our project sat idle, they started a new development, Serenity at Cubbage Pond in Delaware, and built their new model house. We were told they had worker, concrete, lumber, etc. shortages on our project, but they obviously had the means to build a rather large house in another new development. Aurora Homes has not kept in regular contact at all, as the owner has implied. We've come to realize that he eventually answers our emails weeks later with a positive response that he never follows through on. It's the same with his responses to the BBB. It's just a calculated stall tactic to buy him more time. We are in the process of contacting the Attorney Generals Office again to follow up. Also, I am not sure how many of these reviews on here are valid ones, considering the review by Keith Straume is also the Project Manager of Aurora Homes and also the son in law of the owner. If you are looking at Aurora Homes, please contact me, so that I can hopefully inform you of our experience. BUYER BEWARE !
