Before purchasing KB Home, I already heard about it and I was told KB home has great quality. And obviously, it is. I compared so many different constructions and KB is the best among all the constructions I checked. And working with KB sales counselor, lender, and customer service also great experience. They are very efficient and reliable. I highly recommend KB homes.

We love our new home! Martin was an excellent advisor throughout the home buying process, Clay advocated to get us competitive loan terms, and Jason has been responsive and knowledgeable about all our technical questions and issues with the house. There are still a few pending items awaiting resolution, now that we've moved in and had a chance to notice issues that need addressing, but we feel confident KB is going to address those, and feel that KB has treated us fairly throughout the process and everyone we've interacted with is genuinely invested in our satisfaction with the home.

KB treated us horrible, this was our first time buying a home and they made everything hard. We were told it was a appraisal on the house and that we did not have to get one. Then we were told they would not accept that appraisal so we had to wait for the appraisal to expire. Once that appraisal expired we had to be homeless for 60 days. The prices raised and in the long run we paid a lot more money than what was expected. Everything was out of everyone hands supposedly. They was a lot of miscommunication and we feel all KB cared about was the money and sale. I would not recommend KB to anyone I know.

I have lived in my new home for only a little more than a month. So this review is only for the short time I have been here. I am also only speaking regarding the experience I had with the people in particular I worked with, in other words, your mileage may vary. The sales representative did a really good job explaining the job features and our loan options. My loan officer was fantastic too, very patient to explain all the loan features, timelines and things I could make use of.
The appliances that were chosen for us have some design problems and connectivity problems that we are not very happy with (particularly the oven and kitchen top), KB could have spent more time going through the reviews of the appliances they install. The warranties and customer agent is simply overworked, he has done his best to keep us happy with our new place (and he has) but it is clear that he has a lot of work that is hard to keep up. If anything KB homes should invest more in this area.

Everything would have been great if it weren't for the construction staff and installers. I know items get damaged during delivery, but they should be prepared for that and learn to get items delivered with minimal damage to the products. I received broken cabinets, scratched up medicine cabinets, and a weirdly dented shower wall with a bunch of little holes. I love my home, but there are just so many tiny issues that could have been avoided that lead to me not being so jolly about this house. I expected better. The house wasn't left totally cleaned before we moved in. We needed people to enter the home multiple times to fix issues that weren't fixed before we moved in and they leave the house dirty which means I have to do extra cleaning. They leave the door with their dirty hand marks and they left my floors and shower like that too. I'm just not happy about all the details in the home.

KB Home gave us a wonderful experience from front to back. As first-time home buyers my wife and I were a handful to deal with. I knew this, my wife knew this, and I am sure every staff member we encountered knew this. Regardless, there was no stone left un-turned and no process that left us uncomfortable. Each associate/expert helped us with charisma, patience, and expertise to make us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Our home was completed within 45 days of the estimated closing time- and that was during COVID-19! That is pretty good. Overall, if you are on the West Coast (Las Vegas to be precise) don't be weary about using these guys. Their construction crews are on point and the craftsmanship is topnotch. We really couldn't possibly be happier. Thank you KB Home!

Exactly what you would expect from a "modern from-scratch neighborhood" builder. Maximized profit and speed at the cost of value and quality. However, I would rate KB above average in this category for striving harder than most for excellent customer service and issue resolution. For this reason the home buying and building experience was less combative and frustrating than it could otherwise be and we are very appreciative to KB for that. In addition, the "Studio" set up they have is very nice and it's a great value added to have such customization variety even with standardized floor plans. Would recommend KB over other builders in this category for that reason.

We had such a great experience with KB Home. From the day we signed to build until our keys were handed to us we felt very blessed. The two people we dealt with weekly, Sandy, our salesperson, and Allen, our construction superintendent, were amazing. With all the trials of COVID, weather and everything in between they kept us updated and always were there to answer questions and do anything they could for us. Even since our move in they both check up to see if there's anything to help! They are marvelous and KB did an amazing job of giving us a beautiful home, well built with quality. We are very blessed!!!!

Most of the staff members of KB Home are willing to help and make sure the buyers are happy with their homes. However, I had numerous issues with the Lenders that KB Home uses. The Lender we were assigned had our best interests at heart, but came off as pushy and made us feel rushed into making quick decisions without getting a chance to think them through. The sales staff was phenomenal and the construction manager is wonderful too. KB Home are great quality and we haven't had any problems so far! KB Home does work to make sure their customers are happy and if they aren't they will do whatever they can to make it right.

We signed with KB just prior to Covid-19. We knew there would be delays. We knew our home would not be ready when we expected. Throughout the entire process, we received a minimum of 4 updates a week: 1 from the Sales Person, 1 from the KB Loans Officer, 1 from the KB Realtor and 1 from the KB Construction Superintendent. For every one of those calls, we had questions. On every one of those calls they were patient and explained the answer to every question. The Design Studio experience was overwhelming. So many choices to make. Our Design Studio rep was patient and explained every one of our options. I know KB is a very large nationwide builder but we received the "locals" experience. At the level of communication we received, it all seemed very personalized.

Gonna make long story short; so here is a review.. Location: Preservation Pointe. DAVENPORT FL. Used a V.A. loan for the purchased. Home started at $233, gave a deposit of $2,000 as required, supposedly without it no process was gonna be initiated. To my surprise everything including electrical outlets was an upgrade. No patio, if I wanted patio was an upgrade. No outside lights or outlets because those were upgrades..
After the basic standard upgrade the House end up costing $275, with an Interest rate of 4.75 which it was 100 points increase from the initial one 3.75 interest rate. I cut my loses and pull out of the deal. They keep my $2,000. Nowadays I'm taking courses to get my real estate license for my own personal gain. After I get license I will decide on my many possibilities. I would suggest you folks do the same.

We were initially suppose to go with KB Lender and work with Nora, as we got closer to closing our home we requested an updated LD and was told my APR would not change due to our FICO score. I was not satisfied with that response and shopped around. We were able to get a lower rate elsewhere and than was told that KB lender can give us the lower rate but will have to take away our 5K special to keep that lower score. We ended up with using a different lender and KB lender stopped assisting with appraisal report as it was done before switching lenders. We were suppose to close on our home 6/29 but did not close until 2 1/2 weeks later. It was very unprofessional of the lending team to respond back and say "it's no longer our responsibility" when asking for assistance. I would definitely not recommend the lending team to anyone if they are that unprofessional.

We were so excited to start the process of buying a home. We thought it was gonna be fun to see it get built from the ground up. We did not enjoy it because we were stress out with so many uncertainties. We felt bullied and pressured by the finance and loan teams. Even at the closing of our house we had to wait about 1 hr. after closing to get the keys even though in the last month my employer and my wife employers had verified it 3 in that last months. We also provided all paystubs and bank statements all verifying everything. I was so close of cancelling everything at the end of signing the paperwork.. ****Not only did we not get the keys after signing all paperwork at closing, but we got kicked out so others could sign and we had to wait in the car until KB verified our employer after signing papers for closing.****

Choosing options at the design studio was pretty much the only pleasant experience I had. The staff there was very knowledgeable and helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure I would be able to do what I wanted, which included relocating the data panel and adding many additional cable drops for cameras. After that, the rest of the construction process was frustrating and disappointing. Much of that leads back to the superintendent and his lack of oversight. I visited the site several times a week, and I frequently had to call out items that had been run to or installed in the wrong place. Or I had to complain about missing items. But I frequently had to complain to have things moved to the correct location or fixed, and I felt most of the items I found should have been caught by the superintendent to be corrected, not me.
The construction crew's mission statement appears to be, "Install and run everything as fast as possible. Don't worry about putting things in the right place, just get it done wherever. We'll fix it and do it correctly after the buyer notices and complains." My advice to potential buyers is, if there are any other builders in the area you're looking at, give them a try. And if you choose KB, make sure you visit your home site as often as possible during construction to make sure it's getting done right.

They did an amazing job with the paint, floors, carpet, and cabinets. Everything is nearly perfect and precise. Even after we closed, Steve the site manager, is STILL in contact making sure our house is running smoothly. They don't just abandon you after the sale and that's what I love the most.

Overall, the process of buying with KB was a good experience. As with any home buying experience, there are a lot of emotions mixed with fear and excitement. The KB team we had interactions (Kathy, Eric and Cesar) with always made sure we had what we needed and felt reassured by them. The not-so-stellar scores came with my interactions with the lender. We came to KB with a pre-approval in hand and a relationship with an outside lender we already trusted and had a relationship with. When I first met with Steve (KBHS), he very much had car salesman vibe that exuded overconfidence and it in fact turned me off. But because working with the in-house lender made the process easier, we went with KBHS. Anytime I had a question that I wasn't satisfied with any answers from KBHS, I turned to Kathy and she always reassured me and gave me responses without having to sell me.

I told her we had our entire house packed up, ready to move, truck rented, took days off of work, all utilities being turned off at the old house the next day and all utilities being turned on that day at the new KB Home; she told us that's our problem/fault because we should've waited until we had our keys to schedule all that.
