Lovely Experience

From day one of walking into the sales office to make inquiries through the last day of receiving our gold key we enjoyed working with KHOV in building our dream home. The process was smooth and everyone involved with us have been highly professional and sweet. After moving into our home we discovered a few issues (which is normal with new builds) and the company has been prompt in helping us fix it. We love working with KHOV and will definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone who is looking to buy their dream home.

Buy a K. Hovnanian Home

  • Jason B.

Buying a new home is always stressful but it can be good if you are in the right neighborhood. The project managers here are very helpful and timely in their response. There are a lot of things to be concerned about while spending your money and there will be differences of opinion and perspective but this neighborhood and developer are working to give you the best they can. We have had an overall positive experience and we would wholeheartedly recommend putting your family in a home here. Thank you to everyone involved and we look forward to getting more great neighbors.

Great build

We love our new home. K hov uses high quality materials and it is a strong build. The map fit our needs perfectly. Rick and Keith were great but the people working for the contractors often do not follow through with instructions and there were several unfinished things even at the time of closing. I just wish they would refine the finishing touches without us having to ask so many times.

Decent Experience. Had several issues to report after closing

  • Sai C.

I have a decent experience but in a rush to finish the closing at the earliest and handover to client, builders left several things. I had to raise tickets for multiple issues and i am still raising issues and following up every week. Good thing is they are addressing all the issues without fail but raising tickets and following up each time is a pain.

Could have been better

  • Ria E.

As first time homebuyers, my husband and I expected a much better finshed product, however we were sadly disappointed. Khov's home building process is rushed and the workmanship is poor. The quality of the work does not reflect the "new constructed home" we dreamed about.

Not Very Well Thought Out Designs

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • May 03, 2022
  • Middletown, DE

We chose Summit Pointe by KHOV due to it's location and initial pricing. The neighborhood is very nice and it's proximity to most amenities makes this location a very ideal spot. The whole buying process felt very rushed. Upon signing the sales contract, NO edits or revisions were allowed. Even small things such as moving an ethernet port from one room to another was not allowed. KHOV needs to realize that owner plans could potentially change after signing the contract. To be clear, we wanted some changes that were not structural to be implemented literally days after signing our contract. We ...

Poor Communication

  • Charles S.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Middletown, DE

Their lack of communication with the home buyer made our experience awful. We have built with other builders before and we never had a poor response to issues with them. The lack of knowledge of their homes designs, upgrades, and questions we had was poor. We felt like they didn’t care about us, in fact we received other peoples information from Hovnanian mortgage, which was concerning since it happen more then once. The way we received our settlement date was outrageous! We never received a formal letter, or any commutation that our home was going to settle near the date on our signed ...

So many issues in the construction and the builder don’t respond to fix the issues reported.Couple of design issue where bath room doors collide with the main doors in the guest room and refrigerator door collides with the pantry door and they don’t care to address the issue they simply say it is as per the design provided by the architect..Dishwasher door was colliding with the side wall of the counter top and was not in usable condition on the day we moved in.Overall not a good experience.I will have to wait and see how they respond to all issues reported.

We were rushed to sign the contract, we were not provided time to go thru the contract. They invited to meeting to go over contract but they were very rude and forced me to sign the contract before leaving. There are many hidden fees Ex: water allotment payment which is a whopping 9000$(only if you go select their lender else 17000$). They will force you to go thru their lender by saying they will remove incentives provided if we won’t choose them. Home selection process was not great, they showed me some printouts and asked me to select my options which is very confusing and once signed ...

Hi, we've sent your message to local management, and we were informed that you were taking part of our 4 first buyer incentive and our associates accommodated you by reviewing your contract virtually. We did build urgency as this incentive was limited to the first 4 buyers in which we had other people lined up. We are aware that our rep did go over everything via the virtual meeting on his day off. We do apologize if there was any miscommunication during the process as our associates tried to be as transparent as possible. Thank you for the review and we hope you have a great day. ...

Sales experience is nice but the quality of material used is cheap. Not worth paying $700k - $1M

  • Vidit M.

  • March 29, 2023
  • Middletown, DE

Sales experience is nice but the quality of material used compared to model house is very bad even after selecting the level 5 upgrades. It took longer then anticipated to build the house but that is okay given the supply chain issues we had. However, after moving in we found lots of issues with quality and workmanship. The flooring was damaged, there were nails popping out of the floor. there were holes in the ceiling, doors were damaged, cat was trapped in HVAC filter (You heard it right, a living CAT). There is a long of list of issues. Its been 3+ months since we moved in and builder did ...
