Good Experience

The sales office was great. My rep kept me apprised of status, progress and timeline. I felt like the KBHS team could have done a better job 'coaching' on the phase of the loan progress. Multiple times, months would go by without notice and then there was an immediate required action item that was crucial to he loan process, which created a lot of unnecessary stress. I also had to specifically call out issues and updates that were required to be made in my closing summary statements multiple times. Had I not put the effort to perform details reviews of my closing summary, I'm certain they ...

This is my second time buying with KB. The first time was great. This second time the quality is subpar. Just to say that siding is missing and they thought is was a great idea to paint over the 2 pieces missing and not say anything. Thanks for a neighbor noticing and letting us know.

KB made the experience great the entire time. They have the best sales team and customer service team even after you close. They also were willing to give us more credits towards closing than any other builder we dealt with and accepted a lower asking price than the listed price. Thanks KB

As a whole I had a great great experience buying with KB. The process was clearly laid out up front. Rodregus was attentive as we moved along and he went above and beyond at several points. There were some hiccups with the translation from Design Center selections to final build. Stacy handled build issues with a great attitude and they were addressed promptly.

Given this horrendous disappointing experience with sales, construction and customer service, we do not plan to do business with KB Homes again nor recommend KB Homes as a viable option. We take pride in companies that display respect, dignity, integrity, accountability and sincere customer service. We have had experiences with The New Home Company and Tri Pointe Homes, which have all surpassed the level of customer service, integrity, and overall satisfaction we've recently experienced with KB Homes. The lack of professionalism, integrity and accountability speaks louder than words. ALSO, ...

Did not live up to potential

  • Romell S.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • January 20, 2023
  • Auburndale, FL

KB has very attractive advertised features. The workmanship is the process to remedy issues is slow. Most dissapointing is a contractually mistake they've made without fixing the issue. However they also refuse to say they won't fix it so that I can move to arbitration. Delayed responses and promises to return calls are typical even with time sensitive departments like KB's mortgage team.

The nightmare on hacksaw trail

  • Raleigh, NC

Let's start from the beginning. I found myself in a position to purchase a home. I thought to myself wouldn't it be nice to own a house so close to downtown Raleigh? Well, yes it would have been nice. To be honest the location is in an area with lots of growth. But, the point is the house is a complete disaster. I have never in my life been struck with such intense buyers remorse than after the purchase of this home. This WILL be my first and last purchase with KB home. The list of issues I have with this house are numerous. To be honest I have never in my life seen such poor craftsmanship in ...
