KB Home Reviews

You kept your timetable and schedule.

The key to being happy with a new home is being in the area when it's being built and being able to correct deficiencies quickly. That requires good coordination between the buyer and the site superintendent. That's exactly what we had. Our superintendent was responsive and immediately saw to it that issues were corrected. You just can't beat that.

It was a very long process. From being pre-approved in early August until receiving our home in late March. Understandably with the pandemic going on the KB team in Santa Paula had a very tough job breaking bad news after bad news. From time lines being pushed back, to our entire 1st floor windows and slider being smashed in. But, we kept our hopes up and trusted Christian (at the Santa Paula location). He told us everything was going to be taken care of and done the right way. Now we are very happy in beautiful house, so I thank you and your team.

Check things carefully in your walk throughs. I was so excited to see it, I didn’t notice things that are bothering me now.

Home has been wonderful. We love the neighborhood and the neighbors.

The number of defects/issues we had was fairly high, but the response to fixing them made up for it in our eyes.

As a first time home buyer, I wish I would have been paired with a loan officer that was better at explaining the process and more communicative, but other than that I had a great experience with my build. (The loan officer wasn't terrible, I just needed more hand holding since I had never been through the process before.) The design center was fabulous and my consultant helped me truly design my dream home.

Sam and Jason were very responsive and personable. Good people to work with.

The entire KB Team is quick to respond to any questions or needs. I have no complaints other than having to do a lot of concrete work and landscaping after the purchase.

Genesis and Darin were extremely helpful, they went up and above trying to always make us feel excited and very happy throughout the process.

Buying from out of State, all KB Home Representatives were very accommodating to our situation and responded quickly to our questions.

Enjoying the new. The quality is excellent and staff is cooperative, willing to go extra mile to help.

While there were some issues, that needed major attention I would like to take a moment to highlight two people that in our opinion, went above and beyond to not only ensure that the many situations was addressed but personally ensured that we were informed every step of the way. First I would like to highlight Raul Garcia, Raul was not only personally involved in every aspect of the home buying experience, even once the home was handed over Raul, would stop to visit, call , text and answers all questions that we might have. Raul not just listened to our concerns he heard what we were saying and took the necessary steps to remedy the issue as best he would. He connected us with the right people and stayed engaged the entire process. The second person I would like to is Robert (Bob) Dinsmore from the moment that Bob got involved with the issues revolving the broken and none functioning appliances, Bob did everything that he could to make sure that we were taken care of, like Raul, Bob would ask detail questions about the situation and understood that at times the situation caused by faulty appliances placed the entire household in danger of coming in contact with COVID-19. Bob answered all of our questions and ensure that we were taken care of in a timely manner. I would like to thank both Raul and Bob for their support through this ordeal. ... More

Lack of communication and professionalism with other departments, but Customer Service/Construction team provides the best customer care.

Our interactions with the sales office and construction superintendent has been great/off the charts. However, the quality of construction has left something to be desired.

Good communications with builder: Maynard

They will provide all the information that you need right away.

We love our house, but we had to move quickly so the walk through was fast and now we are seeing small details. The main issue that we had/have is some of the light fixtures and fire alarms are popping off.

The individual from KB Homes who sold me the home was great. Always there to help and get answers quickly.

Affordable homes, nice hill views and prime location

The process was good. I found it disappointing from the get-go that if our real estate agent was not present on first visit they would not be allowed on the purchase contract. This cost me several thousand dollars on the start with no going back, despite using their preferred agents. The building process was good and relatively quick despite the early stages of the pandemic. The builder overseeing my home was outstanding and fixed everything I requested, within the bounds of KB's very tight leash. The design center had plenty of options despite being highly overpriced, I performed the same upgrades myself at 25% of the cost. The primary down point was when I was up-sold by HomePro for a internet/cable provided conduit that ended up being useless due to a failure for the company to communicate with the installers from AT&T. Overall I'm happy with the home and have found it to be a great neighborhood. ... More

Everything was great until I found a crack down the middle of my front por ch. I was concerned about the comet made after that that I should just wait cuz I'll get cracks all over the place as the house settles. Before that everything have been wonderful. now I'm concerned about the cracks in the drywall and everything else that's going to happen.

Ask questions. There will be things that you overlooked that you will be kicking yourself later on

I’m pleased so far with the project manager and the responsiveness when I have questions and needs. On the other side the experience through the mortgage approval and closing has been the worst experience ever. The closing was pushed more than 2 weeks from the original due date because the loan processor/analyst didn’t even check the emails I sent with the documents requested until the original “day of closing”. Documents where sent multiple times. No updates whatsoever after the delay, every day was a different story or request and no “target” day to close the loan. Even the appraisal for a property of their own was delayed and coordinated super late in the process. I will never finance again with KB home ... More

Camille is awesome and very friendly. She always answered my questions. I give her 100 %
