contracture manager and financing they did not knowledge . Some place my home has problem and we had not orientation and we never get our house on time.

-Cabinet door was broken (will be replaced). -Bathroom: washstand sink was broken but glued (if it was the worker's mistake, it should have done at that time; it was replaced after we found it after we moved in) -Paint finish - not professional (especially bottom area; not seen; but when lying on the floor, it becomes visible) -Front door finish - a big hole between door knob and door frame. -Door from garage to kitchen: loud noise (replaced) - a big hole between door knob & door frame as well -Some room doors' painting - rough -No door between master room and bathroom (it was optional but it is too late to realize that it should not be optional). We plan to install it with an additional cost. -Kitchen window is the most hard to open while all the other windows are easily opened. We use the kitchen door most often. ... More

Customer always comes first. You need to do this in order to achieve success.

Always stay active and inspect the quality of work. Show up when least expected. I moved in 5 Nov. 2019 and here it is Jan. 2020 and still having all kinds of problems.

I still have things waiting to get done for when I first moved in nobody ever called me about my house vibrating when trash trucks go by . Very disappointed

Multiple issues with quality of material and workmanship.

You turned me down for a loan of 240K. My income is 250k a year and my net worth is 5.5 million. I paid cash for the house. I understand large corporations have rules. They also have no common sense.

Many issues

Once I closed on the property and now moved on to working directly with the worker regarding warranties and all other matters- the entire experience became an absolute nightmare. I was mistreated because I scored the first part of my buying experience at 7 over 10- there’s an avid score system that KB send out to buyers after close of escrow. So from that point in order to get things done, including promises their employees made, I was required to first provide a score of 10 on their avid rating. I declined and expressed my concerns to upper management and was pretty curbed ever since. I sent out emails to their corporate office and that too made no difference at the time of this review. I even went as far to show text message communications between myself and their staff as factual evidence to support my claims - that’s too was swept under the rug. Currently, there 9 issue with my brand new home one of which is a huge concern for me- concrete with large pieces of metal pointing out that was hidden beneath bark by the builders. I have small children and fear possible lacerations to their foot areas if encountered. Currently waiting to see if the division president will follow through with having these issues fixed. ...

Kbhomes dont care about clients issues or try to resolves them. All they want is to close the home.

Horrible sales experience with Kelly. Constant miscommunication with superintendent Daniel. Major issues with home finish interior & exterior. Sewer backup with 2 weeks of move in 3 calls to customer service and had to call our own plumber. Island counter top broken at install, major drywall issues, garbage disposal outlet not hooked up, dryer outlet not working, block wall damage. Tub & shower damage. Stucco damage. Sewer clean out in garage above grade and trip hazard. Customer service reps entering backyard without permission or consent with dog on premises. KB customer service rep has been at home every week since we moved in 1 1/2 months ago for repairs, with still ongoing issues not resolved. Have to move out of home for 5 days for repairs on ceiling drywall that delayed us getting our keys 5 days after close of escrow, but was not completed as superintendent stated it would be. Rushed fixed. I would not recommend KB homes to anyone. ... More

I did not have a good 9 months experience with the house. A lot of delays, people not keeping their word and worst off I couldn’t live in my house due to plumbing issue. No one addresses my concern until 3 days after we called the emergency service line 5 times and worse part kb told me they would do my backyard landscape to make up the damages. Also kb does not take ownership of their mistakes and brush it off like they don’t care about the home buyer

Agent disappeared after her name was on the contract that got her the commission. Senior leadership supported her behavior and defended it when questioned .

The builder appears to have hired contractors who offer rock-bottom pricing but deliver subpar workmanship. Since moving into my new home on February 15th, I have uncovered numerous issues and defects in the construction. The most glaring example is that even something as basic as installing a wall oven was done incorrectly. At this point, I've given up trying to get the builder to address and resolve these problems, as repeated attempts have proven futile.

No one show up in the house for the 10 days walk nor the 30 days walk. I had a list of items that need to be completed the house drywall paint doors are damaged. Locks are not working properly bathroom problems and still no one showed up. I reach out to the construction manager. I left them a voicemail. I text them the information they get they send me the people that wrong. I still have problems in the house has not been fixed. I would highly recommend it. Anyone from future resident of KB Homes . Do not sign the closing until you have everything completed in the house to your satisfaction

It has been a horrible experience to enter the house of your dreams and that it has too many inconveniences and that when trying to fix one thing they break down another, we are still waiting for repairs in our house and it's sad that they don't want to help us

Kb is one of the worst company to deal with. If you have any issue with the home no one seem to be able to help. Stay away. Recently purchase less then 2 months ago. Having issue and no one cares. The worst experiences I have seen.

Please, save yourself the massive headache and avoid KB Home and KB Mortage at all costs. My first time buying a home and I regret it! From the start there has been nothing but problems, from lost earnest check to failed promises this entire experience was a joke. When dealing with anyone that is “ a supervisor” the buck gets passed off and you end up working with the same person you complained about and didn’t want to work with due to total incompetence (mortage side especially) On top of that the house has so many issues that it’s nearly laughable. First time opening my front door the trim fell off, which isn’t even one of the major issues. No one gets held accountable when nothing gets fixed or done either, so have fun spending a ton of your time and energy to get nowhere! If you get Lisa for your mortage, demand someone different as she can’t communicate for the life of her, even confusing my broker who’s done this for over 10 years. Due to her and her manager Erick’s lack of work ethic, integrity and honesty I had my close date moved back multiple times to the point I got my keys at 5pm on the last day of the month giving me 0 time to leave my rental property costing me hundreds of dollars ...

Closing was set for March 24th. I did everything on my end to make it happen. The house needed at least another month's worth of work to complete along with a water leak in a bathroom. It was ridiculous to see. No hole for a dryer vent, broken trim, concrete in the garage a total disaster with spills and chipped concrete along with noticeable cracks already. Finally closed on May 15th with issues still existing. As for the inside of the house, I told the Superintendent I would finish the inside of the house myself because it was obvious the subs don't care about quality and don't have pride in their work. Some of the subs were outstanding in their work as far as flooring, kitchen stove, AC, and sprinkler system. The painters and trim sub contractors are terrible. And to have a toilet paper holder over 4 feet from the toilet is so laughable and I shared it with the Superintendent. The cost of this house as to the quality is totally lacking and way over priced. The Superintendent is a good man, but he doesn't have the ability to get quality workers to finish homes correctly and I can tell it bothers him. If I would have known KB Home was this bad with the finished product and what they try to sell you, I would have never done this and I will not recommend KB to anyone I know or care about. I also doubt this review will ever be considered because I have seen how the subs are allowed to turn out a product that does not meet the standards of quality. The poor buyers that had to move on closing day, I feel bad for them. ... More

This had to be one of the most stressful purchase and move we had ever experienced. I’ll start at the beginning with the loan officer, our loan officer matt gave us some expectation he was not able to keep. He was very unreliable, he would say I’ll call you and he would never do. During the whole process we were left in the dark, he was more worried about his personal business he had on the side than his actual job. We had no idea where our loan was in the process and on top of that we stressed to him the importance of setting our closing date because we were moving from Delaware to Texas and we had to move our closing date two times because he dropped the ball on turning in our documentation into the processing department even though we kept calling him to see if our paperwork had already been sent to the processing department to get our loan in the process. We were told that to compensate for the loan officers negligence we would be getting a garage door opener and that has yet to be installed in our home. The fun does not end here, my family and I get to Texas and not only was our house not ready the quality of craftsmanship has left me dumbfounded. There are so many discrepancies in the home and even though I have reached out to the project manager at least once a week I feel like we are left on the back burner since already moved in, not to mention we have been living here for over a month and have yet to be able to set up trash service or water under my name because the certificate of occupancy has not been released. This experience has really taken me by surprise because my wife and I had a purchased KB home in the past and the quality of craftsmanship was high and the experience was smooth but now it feels like a lot of corners were cut. ...

Stop and reconsider. The sales manager is the worst person and provides awful customer service. He want me to desist from buying the house, and he was glad that that was the outcome. I persisted because otherwise they would have kept my deposit. The lender that they offer is literally unresponsive. I closed with another lender and never received an answer from KB home lender… why? They offer 10k closing cost assistance, but is just a trick! They did not provide me anything or give me information on why. The sales team was NOT present when I closed on the home… they avoided me! I got the keys in a bag on the garage… the only person greeted us where contractors that were still painting the home and cleaning… obviously they had no clue who we were. The house was delivered dirty, a knife blade on the kitchen countertop, bottles with paint open on the floor, it’s was horrible. We had not heard anything from KB home customer service about this… even as I competed a survey already… so that proves that they really don’t care about you. They only want you to blindly fill these surveys to make them look good on social media, but in reality their customer service is bad. ... More

Expect delays, no accountability, and no communication from KB Homes departments. Initially, everything was great, but as we got closer to the closing date that changed for the worst. First, they told us we did not need flood insurance causing additional expenses to us the consumer. One week before the closing date all KB agents helping us went radio silent.The closing date came and we did not get notified in any way that it had been move due to the builder not having our home complete, it was until next week after the original closing date that we received word that it will take two more months to finish. Now it has been close to three months in the home and the warranty department will not respond to any of the emails I have sent them even after receiving a confirmation email from the stating that one of their representatives will contact me in 48 hours. It has been a whole month and no response to my emails. I will never buy again from KB Homes or recommend them to no one ... More

The house was delivered to us with many details, broken walls, glass with details in doors and windows, they did not clean the house, it was delivered dirty and with paint on the carpets, the gate was hit and they still did not replace the panel. The peivers were not cured, painting details inside the house still not done. The master closet done very badly. The truth is that we are not happy with the house because it was delivered to us with many things to do and it was delivered out of time. We are not happy.

In this current market you’d expect homes to be built better then ever. Interest rates are high and house prices are higher then ever. For those families still wanting to purchase a house. Buying one poorly built and shown lack of professionalism is disappointing. Trying to get someone to come do repairs is a joke. I thought it was just my house but after speaking with my neighbors it’s all our houses. When I met with KB homes the first time I was told how well their homes are built and how attentive they are to details when building homes. This is a like and a total joke. I would never ever recommend KB and or buy another KB home. ... More
