D.R. Horton Homes

In reading some of the negative reviews for DR Horton I was compelled to write about my own experience. My husband and I purchased a home in the Landing at Rocklyn in Clemmons, NC. We have been in our new home for about 2 months and are loving it. From the day we walked into the sales office and met Maria we were sure this was the builder for us. She was nice, knowledgeable, and very approachable. She showed us several homes and never once pressured us to buy. She answered any questions we had very quickly and followed up with us. We had to change our closing date twice due to unforeseen complications with the selling of our home.

My wife and I purchased a D.R. Horton home about 5 months ago, and I have to say, at least so far, we’ve had no bad experiences with the company or the build of our home. About a week into living in the home, we had plumbing back up, but we called our subcontractor who worked on the plumbing to come out using the emergency number and they came out and fixed it right away. Thankfully, it turned out to just be debris caught up in the lone. There were a few cosmetic issues during the walkthrough that we wanted addressed and they were, very promptly, by our superintendent. Then about a month after living in the house we discovered a couple more minor cosmetic issues that, again, were quickly and promptly taken care of by the superintendent, Keith.

My experience was phenomenal. It started off with our sales Rep Dosia T, she was awesome. Always available even on her day off. Love love her excellent customer service. Highly recommended ❤. My next was my Lender Samuel M, who later acquired my account due some mishaps. But it was quickly rectified by him he too. Magnified excellent customer service and thorough explanation of each document it acquires. Never made me feel like I was bothering him. He too is highly recommended and behind the scenes were HBC representatives Easter L and Evelyn S, and I can't forget my wonderful loan processor BH and the builder Mark T. Man what a great guy. He explain our home to us. Very thorough and patient. I even saw him after I close. Had a question. Came over while he was working on another stop to assist. Wow. I can say anything else except I had an wonderful experience.

Hi! I am hoping my post can help some one else on making a decision before doing business with DR Horton or anyone else. This is my first home purchase and I couldn’t be happier! My experience was truly a positive one and although things we not perfect but i will say my builder did everything he could in his power to fix anything that was not to my satisfaction in a timely fashion as possible! I purchased in Boardwalk subdivision in Lancaster, Texas. I purchased a model home and got a lot for my money. My best friend purchased her first home from DRHorton in Saganaw,Texas 2 yrs ago and is now purchasing her 2 home from them as well. I would recommend DRHorton to anyone who wants a great value for your hard earned dollars!

My boyfriend and I just purchased a home from DR Horton and absolutely LOVE it. Our sales rep was awesome and our builder was amazing during the first walk through. ALL our blue tape objects were fixed before the second walk through and they have been very responsive when it comes to smaller items being fixed in the house so far. The builder gave us his personal phone number to call or text if we had any problems or questions. The builder really made us feel that we were the only buyers even though they had sold 8 other homes that month and he should have been very busy.

We own a DR Horton home and are selling it. We decided to buy another DR Horton home and had to use their financing in order to qualify for the special pricing. After almost four weeks of the mortgage gal assuring us that my student loan would be able to count as only .5% she came back two weeks before closing and said we had to use the full 1% towards my DTI. This caused us to lose the home without enough time to find other financing. It will be four weeks on Friday we have been waiting for our Earnest money refund. They promised it in two weeks and we still don't have it. Normally when you buy a home you are returned your earnest money if you are unable to get financing within 48 hours. This is terrible business practice and I will never buy another DR Horton home again. I should be reimbursed interest because there is no reason anybody should have to wait this long for a refund.

We bought our D R Horton in May of 2015. Let me tell you I could write a book. First thing paint specks all over flooring and I had to get up because the contractors would come work a hour and leave and then never come back. Secondly, cracks and holes in our concrete driveway and they came and put a little concrete in holes to no avail. The concrete was so thin you could see the red clay. Thirdly, after a year are so we noticed mold around the top of our garage door and the wood was rotten. The siding was not put on properly. They did fix that problem. Fourth, siding on west side of house was bowing and they had to take siding off and chip away at our framing walls to fix this problem and in the process they knocked a hole in our sheetrock. This was fixed.

We signed a contract on a new build in June 2020. The seller was good. Sold us on the house. We saw the house coming along each week. It was almost too good to be true. We did our first walkthrough four days before closing. The house was at best 75% complete-so many paint and texture issues. The final walkthrough was the day of closing. Still several issues. Under sink cabinets were scraped up on the back frames. We’re STILL waiting on the cabinet company to come and fix it. The plumbers came and removed the piping in our master bathroom and we cannot even use the second sink. The driveway was a MESS. Mortar was built up. They came and repaved 1/4th of the driveway. It’s a totally different color from the other 3/4 of the driveway.

I bought a DR Horton home in Magnolia Pointe, I was promised repairs would be made to my house before I closed, or the 1st week after. I had to pay for 2 door threshold trim pieces and a cabinet door to be installed by a private contractor. I had to repaint front entry way, there was plaster everywhere. Had to paint front and back porch, concrete was horrible. I have tried multiple time reaching out, with no response from anyone. I closed on my house8/26/20 and have still not heard from anyone. The builder James didn't even walk the house with me, to see what repairs were needed. I finally gave up and, do not buy a DR Horton home!

We put money down on a house, a substantial amount of money for 2 hardworking people with 5 children, on a house that was not built yet and on a lot that we talked the company into letting us purchase. A few weeks later, we had to move out of state and could no longer obtain FHA financing for the home. They had not even gotten the permit to break ground on the lot. No work had been started. They refused to give us back our entire deposit, which was our retirement fund, even though we couldn’t get financing per their contract.
