    I reside in Leander, Texas at Rosenbusch. We would like to take a moment to commend Kyle for the outstanding service he provided during our one-year warranty inspection with D.R. Horton. From the moment he arrived, Kyle impressed us with his deep knowledge of the process and his ability to clearly explain each step, ensuring that we fully understood how our concerns would be addressed. Just as important, he carried himself with kindness, patience, and genuine professionalism, making us feel confident and reassured that every item on our inspection list would be taken care of. His thoughtful approach and commitment to representing D.R. Horton in such a positive way left us with complete confidence in both him and the company. Kyle’s exceptional service truly reflects the highest standards of customer care, and we are grateful for the way he guided us through this important process.

    Absolutely loved the salesman!! Unfortunately, the company didn't train him well or he just lied to us. After dealing with their customer service for 11 months, it's safe to say, he wasn't trained! If I could give 0 stars, I would!! Their equipment is the worst. When communicating through the cameras, there's a horrible lag and static. The videos are poor quality and lag after a trigger so most of the time, you can't even see what happened. Our sales rep/technician told us that with our package, it was unlimited recording as long as we download before the clips are deleted. NOT TRUE! It's more expensive for that package.

    The contract states that if you cancel before 36 months, you have to pay 75% of the remaining balance. However, what they don't tell you is, that doesn't include the $4611.60 of equipment. YOU ARE STUCK WITH PAYING OFF THE EQUIPMENT, EVEN IF YOU CANCEL, NO MATTER THE TIME FRAME!! In short, their equipment becomes paper weights!!

    We loved our real estate agent and how amazing she was to us.. unfortunately, she made the mistake of recommending SAFEHAVEN because they partnered with DR HORTON! For 11 months, we have exhausted all avenues to resolve our concerns with ADT and SAFEHAVEN. All we are left with is submitting reviews based on the truth to SAFEHAVEN, ADT, AND DR. HORTON and reporting to the BBB!! There's no way this company is not considered a scam!! Every call we've made was met with unprofessionalism and tastelessness!!

    Luckily, I recorded the entire sales pitch, installation, and every call and have a valid case to present in court. We will not be stuck with $6771.24 simply because SAFEHAVEN's customer service has bullied us into remaining in this contract for 11 months. Businesses usually try to resolve the issue and typically will add an incentive to stay. NOT SAFEHAVEN!! The fact that the Salesman and technician are the same person should be a warning. A jack of all traits but a master of none, means this company doesn't even value their employees much less their clients!!

      The people @ D.R. Horton Bay Area Division in San Ramon are AMAZING!!! Specifically, Courtney & Chris... They were so helpful & quick to respond to my concerns of our home. This review is overdue, but know that these fine people take pride & truly care about their customers & the homes D.R. Horton produces. Those that give bad reviews IMO, maybe you were not so kind or patient with D.R. Horton? Anyway, I have had nothing but a POSITIVE experience with D.R. Horton & if I need them again for help with my home, I am certain they will help or guide me in the right direction.

      THANK YOU, Courtney! You have been so amazing! THANK YOU, Chris! You too are so amazing & you were quick to take care of things! THANK YOU GUYS!

      All the BEST. Christina G. (Vacaville; **) For the record, I am the 2nd owner of a 2019 D.R. Horton home, we had a few troubles with backyard flooding, windows, counter tops, & more recently drywall. All were addressed & repaired thanks to the fine people & their contractors @ D.R. Horton.

      Six weeks ago, we purchased a D.R. Horton home and we love it! Our former home was 3,500 square feet and we downsized to 1,800 square feet as our kids are grown and we are active middle age adults who wished to have an attractive, low maintenance home. Well, we found it! The Cali floor plan was perfect for us. It is one story home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There are laminate floors throughout the house which makes upkeep of the floors easy since there are no transitional pieces or carpet. Kitchen countertops are durable and beautiful as they are granite with mixtures of black, gray and white. Layout of the home is ideal with an open floor plan and all the rooms are easily accessible for a wheelchair bound person as well. Prior to closing, we hired a very thorough home inspector and any and all issues were properly addressed in a timely manner.

      Amenities include lake access, picnic area and a pool! There is a gravel road to the lake and an eagle's nest with two eagles in one of the trees. We have seen deer in the wooded areas off the path and geese and ducks in the ponds. The picnic area has a large covered pavilion and the pool has a building with restrooms as well. For all these reasons and more, we love our new home.

      I have had an excellent experience so far with D.R. Horton. I just purchased a new build in AJ and so far everyone in this process has showed great communication. I did my walk through with Collin and he did an extremely thorough job on the exterior and interior of the house. While doing the walk through, he continually provided me with tip on how to maintain the house and get in contact with himself or the warranty department. Post Walk through I have been able to reach out to Collin multiple time and he has able able to assist me and or provide me with tip on how to make things better. I have also had to reach out to the warranty department because I had a minor leak under my kitchen sink and they got back to me same day and I had someone come fix it next day. I have really enjoyed the communication they have and check-up that they do. D.R. Horton has made this home buying process very easy and straight forward. Thank you.

      I currently reside in The Preserves section of Sawgrass Lakes, West Melbourne, FL. We have experienced issues with our tile floors for several months now. We inquired within the Sawgrass Lakes Community group on Facebook looking for some recommendations and found that there are tons of people in the neighborhood experiencing the exact same issue as us. The tiles throughout the house started with a popping sound and eventually pop up off the floor. We had a contractor come in this week to look at the work and give us an estimate to fix the problem. He said he has been receiving many calls regarding this issue as well.

      Apparently, when the floors were put down they were put down very "sloppy" not using enough or the proper glue to adhere the tiles causing them to begin popping up and eventually lifting throughout the entire house. In speaking with the neighbors throughout Sawgrass I have learned that this was fixed for a few homeowners on the street, but they signed a contract with DR Horton to not discuss or sue. Now that I have had contact with many people in the neighborhood more and more are coming out saying this is a huge issue and would like to come together for a resolution. These houses should ALL not be experiencing this issue and we will be looking further into getting this issue resolved as a group.

      Unfortunately, we made the mistake of purchasing a house with DR Horton and dealing with Ron **, one of the sales reps. He's been the rudest person I've ever had to work with. His customer service is also severely lacking. If we could cancel this purchase, my husband and I would and the sole reason would be Ron **.

      I had the worst experience as a first time homebuyer. The lender that I worked with through the D.R. Horton her name is Michelle ** who has poor communication skills. She failed to communicate with me throughout my process at times and she wouldn't even provide my own documents for a program that provides assistance to first time homebuyers and then after everything was over she's telling me how to rate her as a lender. I don't believe 10 stars are deserved. I felt like I was just thrown to the wolves after my process. I thought the homebuying process was suppose to be enjoyable and I didn't get that feeling at all.

      Terribly company, cheaply built houses that is falling apart within a couple of years of being here. Warranty team denies claims and doesn’t fix issues, they instead cover them up. Our walls and floorboards have cracks everywhere, our door frames are all gapping, floorboards are splitting and sunken, paint is peeling off of our kitchen cabinets. Terrible materials and workmanship. They didn’t even install our air exchange correctly and it wasn’t functioning for over a year. Awful company that doesn’t care about you.
