KB Home Reviews

Super intendent was amazing! They have great customer service after you close.

They were very good at communicating updates including material shortages and revised schedules

Finishing not very well

Love the supers on the build side. Sales a little difficult. Design center is amazing, but you have to really realize when they say no changes, they mean it. Mortgage a bit frustrating because you gather everything to be pre-approved, then have to do it all over again within 30 days of closing. Who has time for that??? Nice people, though. I recommend checking progress on new builds at least once a week to avoid surprises.

Great price home was build during pandemic but still was done right

I had direct contact with my contractor and sales representative which made the building process much easier.

The customer rep, Ryan, for the builders that were actually building the home was great. Very informative, helpful, and responsive. There were a lot of minor fixable issues and overall some quality issues with the home. Things like scuffed baseboards, dents and small holes in the walls. A lot of it seems addressable and nothing major where it woule be unfixable has been seen or found. This is a review a couple months into closing so it will have to wait and see how the place holds up in a couple of years. I’ extremely happy with how responsive the builder is at addressing issues found in the home. ... More

great customer service whenever I call!!

Sales staff was very helpful, flexible and proactive.

The follow up during the construction was great!

I definitely see the value but for the times that we are in I felt that KBs standard feature aren’t enough. They almost force you to upgrade everything to have a updated home, which is unfair in my opinion as this is a new home. And not to mention all of the upgrades you are now making will make it harder for your house to appraise. I wish they went through the standard features before signing your contract. But at the end of it, we do love our home despite the disappointments through the process

KBhome have good team workers from the house agent, superintendent, loan officer, just name it. they will work with your time and budget.

My experience was satisfactory. Thank you!

We bought the house through video calls, and arrived to actually see it 2 months after closing. It’s a pretty good house in a decent neighborhood. Through the buying process and afterwards, the KB staff were there and attentive to our needs and desires. I’m wishing we had seen it in person because it is smaller than expected. The garage is tiny. Room for 2 cars and zero storage, or storage with zero cars. The extra bedrooms are tiny. Room for a queen bed but no dressers. But it is a very nice house, and the staff were/are great

Overall a good experience and we are happy with our new home!

Ask questions, visit site often.

Overall good experience, there are a few details missed probably do too production goals

Having issues after owning the home. The construction workers are very disrespectful and do not care that I live next door to the house they are building. They fixed the first issue when the construction workers did not secure wood planks on the roof next to us and the winds blew it off and made a big hole in the side of my house. They also leave trash all over unsecured and the high winds blow it onto my property. I have cleaned it multiple times. They block my driveway with trucks and I've had to tell them to move a couple times. Just the other day they were spraying down the roof next to me and a piece of the roof flew off and almost hit a guest in the head I had over at the house while we were outside.. I have sent an email about these issues and have not received a response and it's been 96 hours since I emailed. The home buying experience was 10/10 but the construction workers make living there stressful and annoying. Counting down the days until they are finished and never return. ... More

You kept your timetable and schedule.

The key to being happy with a new home is being in the area when it's being built and being able to correct deficiencies quickly. That requires good coordination between the buyer and the site superintendent. That's exactly what we had. Our superintendent was responsive and immediately saw to it that issues were corrected. You just can't beat that.

It was a very long process. From being pre-approved in early August until receiving our home in late March. Understandably with the pandemic going on the KB team in Santa Paula had a very tough job breaking bad news after bad news. From time lines being pushed back, to our entire 1st floor windows and slider being smashed in. But, we kept our hopes up and trusted Christian (at the Santa Paula location). He told us everything was going to be taken care of and done the right way. Now we are very happy in beautiful house, so I thank you and your team.

Check things carefully in your walk throughs. I was so excited to see it, I didn’t notice things that are bothering me now.

Home has been wonderful. We love the neighborhood and the neighbors.

The number of defects/issues we had was fairly high, but the response to fixing them made up for it in our eyes.

As a first time home buyer, I wish I would have been paired with a loan officer that was better at explaining the process and more communicative, but other than that I had a great experience with my build. (The loan officer wasn't terrible, I just needed more hand holding since I had never been through the process before.) The design center was fabulous and my consultant helped me truly design my dream home.
