KB Home Reviews

Disappointed to have a brand new house that has such poor workmanship. Seems there is no oversight of contractors and customer service team has to play clean up. Door casings are not straight, walls are not flat, corners not square. I can go on and on. Disappointed would sum it up.

Management will never respond to your concerns. It all about making the sell. Please make sure you get everything in writing.

When I visited the site, the home was not yet built. My main question for the sales representative was which home would provide the best mountain view, and I was advised to buy lot 77. At that time, there was only my home 18631, and there was no house behind me. However, after I moved in, a taller or same hieght home was constructed behind me, which blocked the mountain view from bedroom window. now the only view of the mountain was visible from my kitchen. I was a bit sad about this change, but accepted it. Additionally, deck work began on the back of my home, further obstructing the view. I had shown these concerns to Brad as well. I would not have purchased this home if I had been informed about the potential for this obstruction during my first visit in November 2024. The primary reason for my purchase was the desire for a good mountain view, and this situation feels misleading. l feel so sad and hurt about this. not enjoying the experience afterward at all. ...

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

You have all read how unhappy I was with my process. Until Oscar took over. I’ve stated it over and over, he saved the sale.

We love our home, but the process to get into it was frustrating. Putting aside supply chain issues that are out of anyone's control, we were jerked around by KB throughout the construction process and communication was inconsistent. The lender they push you to use had poor customer service. The house wasn't ready at closing, and we're still trying to get the last outstanding issue finished. It felt like they were trying to crank out more homes than they're able to do and we fell into the cracks. It doesn't matter how many times they apologize to me, I still will not recommend this builder.

Superintendant was amazing but the overall experience was mediocre due to the office people

Bad experience from the start. We were vastly misled from the beginning on when the house would be built. The sales team was difficult to get a hold of for any updates. There were things we were told during the sales pitch that turned out to be not true (i.e. the siding and roof was covered by the HOA, when groundbreaking and completion was... this was especially frustrating as we had an expiring lease and the house ended up being 3 months late). I will say once we got their leadership team involved, they did everything they could to resolve our issues. That is the only thing saving them from a 1 star review. ... More

Be sure to verify information given before making life-altering decisions & get everything in writing or things that are supposed to be done… won’t get done.

They were ok. The construction manager and the construction personnel are irresponsible and will put you under a lot of stress. Be ready for that

The incompetence of the loan processors. The incompetence and /or negligence of some of the sub contractors. The 2 stage contract signing. 2 stages are OK as long as the structural phase isn't cemented in stone until the Design Studio phase is complete.

Everything is great about the home. I would give 5 stars on everything. However, the brand new house came with mice since day 1. They sent out pest control within a few days, and all pest control did was say mice may have already been in the house before we moved. A month and a half later mice start showing up again. Asked customer service for help to determine how mice were getting in and was told by Customer Service this was basically my problem now. It's very heartbreaking being a first time home owner and buying a home with mice from the beginning.

Getting a lender who is more compassionate and not robotic would help KB Home a great deal.
