This is our 2nd KB Home. Both experiences were pleasant & efficient. KB Home is a very reliable organization who place a lot of emphasis on customer satisfaction. I would recommend KB Home very highly.

Overall an amazing experience from start to finish. Each person I came in contact with treated me as if I was the only person they needed to help that day. As a single mother, full time student, running a business, and first time home buyer, KB staff made the process so easy and set my mind at ease. Thank you KB Home for your stewardship and hospitality.

Being this my first home buyer experience, I must say I was kinda nervous. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and considerate. I never felt pressure as I must buy this house or else. The price was fair in the market even during this Covid crisis. I believe I found a very nice new built home as the price I was looking for and would recommend to other people.

Overall, I was treated like a person not a buyer. Everyone wanted to make sure I was happy and knew what was going on with every step of the process. Our home was built in a timely manner and was presented as such. We have enjoyed the ability to provide our family with our new forever home.

My experience with KB was good. The process of building for the needs of my family was great! My sales and construction staff were very responsive and I am satisfied with the quality and value of my home. However, I can't recommend their preferred lender, KBHS. I received an initial loan approval and got all the way to my close date (6 months after my initial contract), and was then denied because the underwriter had an issue with my self-employment income. Why did it take 6 months for any issues to come up?! My new lender took my application and had me underwritten and closed in exactly two weeks. We all sat there dumbfounded as to what KBHS's problem was with my income. The new lender had zero questions or problems about it!

The sales and design process with KB Home was an exciting time for us as first time home buyers. It became fairly obvious throughout the construction process that the attention to quality of workmanship just was not there. Our home was not complete by the time we closed on the house, but we were assured the final work would be completed within a week. Six weeks later, we have dealt with non-functioning new appliances, incorrect electrical installations, lot erosion due to lack of adequate landscaping, and a litany of other workmanship concerns. Of all of the craftsmanship issues we can see on the surface, it concerns me what we may encounter down the road with issues not seen with the naked eye.

My overall satisfaction with KB can be summed up as this: if I could go back in time to the start of my home search and do it all over again, I would without hesitation choose KB again. I love my KB house. My family loves this house. We are supremely happy here. It cannot be better. KB asks for these reviews for a reason, because they worked so hard to make the entire experience as perfect as possible. It is because of these perfect 10 reviews that KB works so hard for every customer and every house. They earn these perfect reviews. I am in no way exaggerating. KB could not have done a better job. I am honestly shocked at how good everything turned out.

Working with KB Home was a great experience. They really listened to me from the initial sales office visit to after the closing date. They declined my request for a basement ??

We purchased our first home With KB in May 2020. So far we have not been fully satisfied with this company. To start they gave us a very difficulty time with everything after not choosing their preferred lender and title company, so much that they refused to give us our keys at closing (we are so glad we had a amazing broker who fights for his clients). Our broker had to fight with KB for a whole day until they finally decided to release our keys to us at just a few minutes before their office closed.
KB did not include any of our HOA information or any other vital information we needed on our home at closing. They made our first time home buying process very difficult and unpleasant. if you are a first time home buyer don't go with this company. I'm in love with my floor plan (we purchased a spec home) however they did a crappy job at building my home, a few Examples: I have walls that are bowed out and not straight, many items still have blue tape (from our walk through) that they never fixed, it looks like some of the items that we marked KB just came in and took off the blue tape but never fixed the item.

I am very satisfied with this house purchase and I have a very good experience with KB Home. Through this purchase, I get to know its spirit to build a house. It does make the customer's satisfaction its priority. KB Home provides homebuyers with good price, quality houses, outstanding service and makes you feel you get more from them. Actually, I do get more from them. I have a suggestion for the survey. I hope the survey can be saved at several steps so that people can finish it step by step in short time. For me, this survey is like a big project to do. During the move-in time, I don't have a lot time to do it, but the due day is coming pretty soon. If I can do it in several pieces of time, I will feel less stressed for doing a survey.

We are extremely happy with our new home. We got a good value, nice options, nice floor plan and much of what we wanted. But beware and stay alert! We personally inspected the house twice a week during the whole build process, documenting our concerns, photographing every one of our concerns. Then we emailed and called the Builders again and again regarding those concerns and followed up with them again and again. This was so crucial to do. It was a lot of extra work and stress, but the end result is that we did get a better house!

We purchased our home in 2007, Monroe North Carolina. Late 2016 before the expiration of the 10 year warranty we contacted KB Homes by phone and email advising that like many other homeowners in our neighborhood we had large cracks and holes you could set through the vinyl and feel through the carpet on our floors. 3 years later, we still have cracks and a hole you can see from inside straight outside into the yard. KB also used interior wood on the exterior of the home (door frame). They never connected the intake line for the upstairs air conditioner. However KB Homes refuses to fix anything. They've said although we contacted them and received the run around, we should tried harder to make them do what they were supposed to do. Please for your peace of mind Do Not Purchase a home built by KB Homes! Inferior work, cheap labor and, no accountability... Plus their customer service is horrible.

There are some things that I dislike about the home and was not aware of. One being the vents above each door and room. I also would like to say for future homes to raise the level where the microwave is above the stove. There is not a lot of room to cook and the stove (for it being considered a gourmet kitchen) is too small when you have multiple pots and pans on the stove. If they raised it up 6 inches and shortened the cabinets above would be great and moved the knobs to run on the fire lower. There's really not much you can put in those cabinets anyway and that would give more space. I also have issues igniting the stove at times. It just needs more space to cook in general.

KB Home is a difficult builder to work with. Even when something is clearly their fault they refuse to acknowledge it and make excuses for themselves saying things such as "It is standard practice to put a sump pump in the basement bedroom" which is not a proper excuse for not notifying me that it would go in the bedroom when it could have gone somewhere else such as the corner of my rec room.
When I inquired about such a thing, KB home just merely said that I would lose all my earnest money if I backed out of the contract. It took them a week and a half for them to acknowledge they made an error and even when they did they only offered me 2000 in closing costs after I paid them 30,000!!!!! To finish my BASEMENT! Had I known it would have turned out that way I wouldn't have even bother paying KB home to finish my basement.

KB's sales and construction staff were a pleasure to work with, proving frequent updates and always being available to answer any questions.

Most homebuilders just see you as a sale and push you to buy a house now, especially what they have sitting empty. KB did not do that. They made it a focal point to build the house exactly as we wanted. There was nothing "salesman" like anywhere during the process. Every step, from picking a lot and house, to design to finish was as if we were the only customers KB had. We love our home and highly recommend KB.

CJ was the worst agent I've dealt with, she could not be bothered to get up from her seat to greet us the multiple visits we made. She would demand for a check at hand if we wanted to be taken serious. Tony would drop bombs on us on a Wednesday knowing he would be off for two days. We would lose 4 days of work because he had two days off and the weekend escrow will not be available. No one was there to cover for him. Per KB regulations you are not able to take a walkthrough until there is docs, took the walkthrough scheduled to close and last minute KBHS decided to pull docs and not close loan. They blamed Regulations but I doubled checked on it who write guidelines for home loans and their accusations were baseless.

We have heard many a nightmare stories from our friends and relatives about their home-buying experience. So we were skeptical about buying a new home, specially as we were very happy with our current rental property. But, boy, are we glad we walked into KB Homes' Primrose sales office with a friend who was looking to buy a new home!
From the moment we walked in, the Sales Staff, Christine, completely won us over with her smiling face and positive energy. Even though we were just accompanying a friend, and not exactly there to buy, Christine spent couple of hours walking us through the home plans, available homes, the features, in short encouraging us to consider buying there, but never pushing us in a manner that will feel suffocating. I am very wary of sales persons who constantly push to make the sale, and make you feel bad if you say you are not interested. But not Christine, she answered our questions, showed us around, and gave us time to think it through.
Vins, their mortgage loan originator, walked us through the loan process, worked with us to find us a loan program that worked best for us, and then the construction guy, Alex worked very hard to put my mind to ease by taking care of every little touch-ups we requested. When the refrigerator delivery guys chipped a corner of a wall, Alex took care of that as well. I cannot say enough good things about all of them. Thanks to them, we are now proud owner of our dream home.
