KB Home Reviews

Ok experience, would like more help and transparency in the process and what happens after closing.

applying for the loan through kb home experience was not running as smoothly as it should be extremely lengthy and repeated requests for the same document over and over and the knowledge of the early preparer for the loan was not quite professional or organised and sounds like he is already overwhelmed with what he already have .

Lending process was horribly non-transparent. House is beautiful but had to get several things redone and then redone again. Feels like I keep finding things. Many times acted like it wasn’t their fault for things that obviously were their fault. James and Deborah (real estate agents) and Chad (maintenance/go to guy for all fixes) are cool!

We faced so many issues with builder in the overall process. KB lending experience was bad. KB construction team was okay after purchasing the house. Sales department wasn’t so great

They made me sell my house to buy this one and then kept delaying the final date. Then when we moved in there was small issues, and then they have us the wrong mailbox key. We had to run around for weeks until we finally figured out the problem

Overall homebuying experience with KB Home was very unsatisfactory and often felt misleading.

For two years I worked hard to move out of the apartment I was living in with the intent to purchase a home here in Texas. I was excited and couldn’t wait for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow which was my new home. I had issues with loan officers, I was TOLD the date I was expected to close with no consideration of my time and work schedule, made promises that were not kept and overall disappointment with the whole experience.

Hopefully it won't take other buyers as long to have their home finished.

Customer service was decent in the beginning, sales agent was horrible, lots of re work having to be done to our home due to error one the KB side. Still has not been the greatest experience interacting with KB.

Really bad customer service. KB mortgage made my buying experience terrible.

The sales team and building super were very helpful. The loan process with KB was an absolute nightmare. Also once the 30 days are up for the team to touch up items, the team was pretty unresponsive. Make sure to get things in writing and email proof as that will be the letter of the law that they abide by.

My family bought our house sight unseen as we were moving to San Antonio and wanted a house upon arrival. We knew we wanted to go with KB but didn't have time to build custom so had to wait for one to become available. It was a race to lock one down and we finally got one. The location isn't great and the house is actually better than it looked in videos. However, there were a lot of issues found during our inspection we ordered and there were some that they didn't remediate until I sent the inspector back again. Upon arriving to the home, I found more issues with poor attention to detail and damages in the home. I have just moved in so I'm planning to contact them to fix damages. Also during the buying experience I was extremely pressure to close very fast and this was my first time buying a home so it was very unpleasant. All the stress and pressure just for them to push the closing date back a month. Overall I'm happy with the home but I cannot speak on durability as I just moved in. Some things feel cheap and will probably need replaced. ... More

The home buying process was seamless, Jerry and Rueben are awesome. My customer service rep is very responsive in getting things done. Check every little nook and cranny of your home and do site visits if possible. My home was not cleaned before moving in so I had paint speckles all throughout the home, handprints were everywhere in the flooring which took some scrubbing because it didn't come up with just a mop. DO NOT sign off that your home is 100% until everything is to your standard or liking. Depending on where you move the ball may get dropped on somethings. My sprinkler system doesn't cover my entire yard so I have dead patches that we have to hand water. For the most part I have a good Rep that does get things done after move in, so Im ok with my home. ... More

Since the start, purchasing my home from KB, was not a good experience. The day of closing turned out to be a week of closing. Now that I’ve moved into the house, doors were not hung properly, the carpet was not tacked down correctly, it lifts from most of the corners in big sections. The living/ dining rooms tiles were not installed correctly. The tiles were uneven. I’ve been sitting in a construction site for a week and it looks like it’ll be longer. I feel like I’ve made a mistake buying this house. I’m so frustrated.

A whole lot hasn’t been done and haven’t gotten a response, house wasn’t finished when I moved in and every time I ask when something will be done I don’t get a definitive answer.

KB home loan team is the worst in my experience. They fail to provide me the options and the lock terms of 7 months and the extensions. I have a credit score of 809 still ended up with 6.25 percent interest with their proposal to lock for 12 months. Where as other neighbours got other locking months and rate, and information of what to do when construction time extends.

Unfortunately we have had quite a few issues with our home, leaking master bath, cracked concrete on driveway, paint on door fixtures, plaster on patio and drive way out front. KB has been available and working on all of our items, they immediately got in touch with the plumbers to fix the shower which was appreciated.

Elegimos esta compañía de construcción porque nos daba a escoger cada uno de los detalles que queríamos para nuestra vivienda , eso nos hacía muy feliz. Con respecto al personal y servicio al cliente , no puedo quejarme , realmente ellos atendieron y aún atienden cada una de nuestras llamas e inquietudes . Con respecto a la mano de obra , una porquería , dejaron tantas imperfecciones en mi casa que no puedo explicar , incluso después de realizar la última caminata . Llevo un mes viviendo mi casa y ya está llena de grietas en bornes por todos lados . Dejaron clavos en los marcos de las puertas por lo que eso rompió nuestra puerta principal . El llavín de la puerta está torcido , en fin innumerables defectos que se podían haber corregido . Por eso doy 2 estrellas porque a pesar de que el trato al cliente es magnífico, pienso que lo más importante es la mano de obra de la casa que se va a vivir y es desastrosa . Todo está mal terminado , para el precio que costo lo casa , pensé no tener que hacer nada en ella y ahora ando retocando gritas por todos lados aunque se que la vas puede moverse un poco hasta que se quede fija en el suelo pero igual , es demasiado , se que es mal trabajo porque estuve viendo cada detalle de mi casa desde que comenzó la construcción ...

Maria and Venassa from the sales office was great. But the other part of KB HOMES is very bad; they change the terms and conditions without notice and all for you benefit and to halo your fiscal year

From the day I put my deposit down to close was 3 weeks short of 52 weeks. There were tons of delays including the week leading up to close. It seemed like the turnover of sales people, builders created an environment where myself, the buyer never knew what was happening or who I could reach out to. In the final month and a half they brought in a new project manager, Kelly who is and continues to be a Rockstar. He is so responsive and knowledgeable. The entire process would have left a sour taste in my mouth if it were not for him. I would give him 5 starts in every category possible.

The world was promised to us before signing for the house, but once we signed it was very, very hard to get anyone to fix things . We’re very disappointed!!!!

5 Stars for Jean, Justin, Kyle with the customer service team. He has a quick response time and coordinates with well with vendors to get issues resolved. 5 stars to the sales team (Lizette). The 2 stars is for the the people who handled the final documents and management team, who I was told would contact me when I had issues with closing documents, but I never heard from them. No need to contact me now, since the documents were signed and we been living in our home for about 2 months now.

to many problems with construction

The overall experience is something I would never want to experience again. This was supposed to be our dream house but we had to choose different products that were not as nice as what we originally chose. Plus we were lied to about when our house would be complete. We had to live in a two bedroom apartment for a whole year.

I like the KB Home construction management personnel at Concord, but their subcontractors do not have any QA/QC. My customer service representative is great.
