KB Home Reviews in Austin, TX

How unready this house was to move in to. They are still coming out to fix stuff. Some of the people coming have even said this should have been done before I moved in. On a good note KB has done an excellent job of repairing or changing things.

Every single person that we worked With at KB was fantastic. From the sales office, to the design studio, through the construction phase, and afterwords was absolutely amazing. Any concern I had Was dealt with and resolved immediately. I never had to worry that my family and I wouldn’t be 100% taken care of.

I bought my house during COVID-19, when things were crazy and uncertain. They did their best to deliver the full customer service experience given the social distancing limitations. My sales consultant was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions/emails. She also sent periodic pictures of the progress. On the financing/paperwork side, I was a little confused and disappointed. Both of my loan experts got changed on me mid-purchase, which led to a lot of re-sending of things already sent, confusion, and frustration. My final down payment amount changed 3 times in one day (after I had already secured the cashier’s check). There was a shortage of appliances during this time and I had ordered a refrigerator for the house from the design studio. The fridge wouldn’t be ready in time for closing so they provided me with a loaner fridge, which I was then able to keep. There was then a lot of confusion and miscommunication about delivery of my other fridge. I was given a delivery date by one construction manager which we had planned for Thanksgiving week when I was off of work. When the day came, it turns out that the fridge had been sent back and the construction manager had left the company without communicating the fridge issue with anyone else. I spoke with the warranty guy who got right onto the problem. He put me in touch with the regional construction manager who then tried to troubleshoot the delivery of the fridge. The problem was that it could only be delivered the following week when I would be back at work. The regional construction manager was very accommodating about that. The fridge was actually delivered at about 9 that morning. Apparently it was guarded all day while it sat in my driveway. When I got home from work at 4, there were about 5 guys here ready to move the other fridge and install the new one! I was very impressed and pleased with willingness of everyone to go above and beyond to right something that was essentially beyond their control! Definitely put a silver lining on a situation that had become quite stressful! ... More

Easy to work with throughout the build.

Our agent and lender was excellent and kept us well informed. Overall our home is very nice, and the selections were better than other homes we looked at.

From start to finish our experience was wonderful. Prompt service and trasparancy were the key factors.

KB Homes was great to work with! With being a first time buyer and builder we were super nervous but they walked us through everything and were so helpful.

We love our home and all the features. We were happy to be able to personalize the floorplan as well as the materials. There is room for improvement on the overall finishing of the home but KB has been working with us to ensure that all details are taken care of.

We were reluctant to build with KB based on others' experiences we'd heard about, but in a tight housing market, we decided that it was the easiest way to get a house in the location we wanted for a reasonable price. The sales experience was fine. The design studio process was unnecessarily confusing and time-consuming because they use software from the 1990s (I'm talking green type on a black screen) that makes it take forever for the consultant to give you the price for something and ultimately build the order. Our first consultant made several key errors. We complained about this and the manager did our final appointment (via Google hangout due to COVID). She was great, but after our home was in the build process I really wish she (or someone) had walked us through the lighting locations. We ended up with a lot less overhead lighting than we would have chosen if we knew how few lights they would provide. The build process itself was not well-supervised. Subcontractors installed broken cabinets and then the construction manager had them patched up later. Our window wells are uneven so our blinds fit well at the top of the window but not at the middle or bottom. This is a framing error. I could go on, but basically anything we didn't upgrade was inferior and even some of the stuff we did upgrade wasn't the quality I would have chosen. We've found a lot of mistakes in the couple months we've lived here. Nothing we can't either fix or live with. Not sure another Austin-area builder would have done a better job as they all use the low bidder subcontractors. Thankfully my husband is super handy. Be prepared to watch everything, spend the money on a 3rd party inspector, and then set aside a couple thousand dollars to make your home what you want it to be. ... More

Everything is excellent. I recommend it.

Everyone throughout the entire process was helpful and believed got us the best possible deal. The construction manager was great and easy to work with and went above and beyond to take care of us!

KB Homes build us a beautiful home. All expectations were exceeded.

Everyone was very thorough. They also made it a point to keep us in the loop as any issues were being resolved.

From the beginning to the final process, all reps were courteous, willing to help and answer questions.

the virtual design studio was not the best experience.

Pretty good experience so far.

I had a great sales person who walked me through everything. Always there to answer questions.

KB staff is amazing!!! I always dream of having a KB home and my dream finally came true!!!

The staff was great! From the sales team to the design studio team and construction team! They all went above and beyond!!

From the first time we talked about floor plans and available lots, to our closing day, everyone was amazing. Our sales associate transferred communities and still managed to keep us updated weekly. Superintendent was very responsive and kept us up to date the entire time, and made it possible to close early!

This was my first home building experience, and our sales person, Marc was very enthusiastic, interested in helping us get what we wanted, and even makes time to walk the neighborhood and see the new homes being built. Our contractor Garrett was amazing. Every concern we had, he addressed. Nothing was silly or ridiculous to him, he genuinely wanted to help make everything perfect. Finance side was what you'd expect, nothing extraordinary there. It's a beautiful home, we are excited to be living here and watching the subdivision grow!

Overall it was great with just a few hiccups.

Some people keep their word others not so much.

Generally a good experience, there was some hiccups, but overall satisfied
