Pleasant with room for improvement

Overall, the experience was fair - we were faced with a few challenges along the way, which we felt could have been handled with a bit more care and empathy, but understand that timing is a crucial aspect for transactions like this. After closing, responsiveness to questions and issues seem to have stalled, with a handful of open items never followed up on despite multiple attempts to connect. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, but there is a breakdown in communication between sales, construction, design, and the homeowners which makes getting answers and information difficult ...

Poor Attention to Details
- Jill W.

This builder cuts corners and uses the cheapest subcontractors. It shows in the finished product. Plastic push-pull shut-off valves? C'mon, that's substandard. We also have gaps in recessed lighting and cabinets and poorly hung doors. Even our A/C unit was installed incorrectly.

Average Quality for Premium Price
- Alexander K.
- Verified HomeBuyer
- June 29, 2021
- Hollister, CA
While the builder tries to position itself in the above average, or even premium, segment, the reality of what the buyer gets is far from it. We bought our house during the "seller's market", at a time when lots of people were moving out of cities into suburbs (demand high, supply low). So, we essentially had to suck it up, and make the best of the situation, to get a reasonable size house at a price we could afford. If the market were more balanced, this would likely be a non-starter. The sales agent that we got ended up being poorly informed on some issues at the beginning of the process. ...

Not good service at all!

Didn’t get good service from these people. I wouldn’t buy a KHov home again. Only the construction manager and warranty have been honest with me. Besides that didn’t feel that I got a honest and true buying experience with good morals.

A million dollar rush job

If you use KHov, make sure you buy a home that's already built / that you can see the workmanship. They "churned and burned" our home and didn't even completely finish it before moving on. Such a terrible experience with this builder, I would never use them again in a million years.
