      As a first time homebuyer, I specifically asked what would happen to the ******* money and design fee if something catastrophic and outside my control happened that would impact my ability to close. I was assured that the deal was financing dependent and as long as I was operating in good faith the money would be refunded. In early March I discovered that I needed a major surgery and would be on reduced income for a few months. More critically, I was in the middle of a potential wrongful termination situation and it was unclear whether I would have a job to come back to after my medical leave. Shortly after I returned from leave, I was indeed wrongfully terminated. Had I disclosed any of this (which I believe would have been the ethical thing to do), this would undoubtedly have collapsed the financing during the rescore so as I courtesy I gave KB a heads up about my situation long before the rescore so that they would be able to make changes in the customizations given that the house was in the early stages of construction. I was strung along for six weeks indicating there was some potential for refund, but was eventually told that financing dependent applied to the initial approval only, which confirms that they had communicated that detail to me even though they changed the conditions afterward. Also, I never officially canceled the deal nor was I given opportunity to do so, and the period in which the refund was supposedly explored was used retroactively in a legally questionable manner to claim I was in breach. It was in KBs best financial interest for my deal to collapse and the $6K in ******* money + $4.5K in design fees + the $25K in price increase to the home in the intervening period are pure profit at my expense, despite repeated assurances that I would be protected in this scenario. Perhaps this was not typical of the usual KB experience, but for these reasons I believe that the ******* money should be refunded, if not the design fee as well.

      Due to the buyers default, KB Home exercised its right under the contract to terminate the Purchase Agreement.  Therefore, KB Home retained the deposits as liquidated damages.  

      Customer response

      09/10/2024

      Let me recap the core issues here: 1) I was assured repeatedly that in the case of some unforeseeable major event (such as a serious health issue / threat of job loss), the ******* money was refundable. 2) This is confirmed by the fact that my KB representative claimed for weeks to be working to that end. 3) I believe that this was a tactic to "run out the clock" which put me into technical default, even though I was acting in good faith. 4) Base prices on that layout increased by ~$25K and I also paid an additional $4.5K in design fees, resulting in significant additional profit that KB would not have realized had I closed. Therefore, claims of liquid damages are completely invalid. KB has registered the trademark "Built on Relationships", but that has not at all been my experience. Through this whole process, I have been a good faith actor and have tried to engage with KB constructively but was consistently blown off, as further evidenced by this latest response. The fact that you manipulated me and the situation into forcing a technical default and then claiming that you are in the legal right is not remotely being in the moral right, and this is no way to conduct business. Given my health and employment situation, $6K is a fortune for me at the moment but is utterly meaningless to KB, and incredibly short sighted. I loved that house and wanted to close, and up until that point I had a good experience with KB. KB would need to go a long way to earn my business and good referral back, and refunding the ******* money is a very inexpensive way to achieve that.

      Business response

      09/20/2024

      We are disappointed to learn that the buyer is unhappy with our response.  However, our position has not changed.  Per the purchase agreement,KB has the right to retain the deposits.

      Several months ago my wife and I visited KB homes in ********** *******. The name of the community is hickory ranch we met with salesman mo. We we enjoyed the visit and loved the home and walked around the home sites for a while. We went back and forth for about 2 hours and picked out a home site. The home site we picked out was a pond view it was in the center of the pond and it was far enough from a trailer home area on the other side of the KB property a few home lots away. We were asked to leave a $5,000 deposit and then approximately another $11,000 deposit. Several weeks later Mo called us and said there was a slight issue. I asked him what the issue was he said we had to move your home lot 20 ft to the right. My wife and I were confused and concerned so we traveled to the KB site in **********. We met with ** who took us back out to the home site and showed us our new site. We told him the new site was not acceptable to us as we did not want to be closer to the trailer home on the other side of the property and we like the middle of the pond. *** explained that the man that measured the property lines made a mistake and if they didn't move our home the last home would have been built in the pond. While we understand the mistake we were not happy with moving. ** made light of it with a smile and said what's another 20 ft it shouldn't be a big deal. I asked him if KB could do anything and he said he would call his boss. He said his boss would call me this never happened. ** called the next day and said he spoke with his boss. He said his boss said we could move to the left but it would take many months delay. We wound up signing the contract for the site we didn't want then went back two weeks later and said we want to cancel. We were unhappy with the 20 ft movement. Mo said we were in breach of contract and would not get any refund and don't bother getting a lawyer because our contracts are tight. ** said his boss would call which never happened.

      Complaint: 22007112

      I am rejecting this response because:
      K b homes moved the lot that I had chosen I asked to speak to a manager several times to escalate my concerns but the salesman named *** only made promises that someone would call me. I had called customer service as well but they only transferred me to the same mo. I feel the company did not properly investigate the situation and only had information from **. I should have been allowed to speak to another party with the company either a manager or a customer service team and not continuously be transferred back to the same salesman. Who had interest in the sale because the company moved the original site and coerced me into signing a new contract for the new site I should receive a full refund of my deposit. The salesman Mo new all along we were not happy with the site and only used his sales tactics to push me to do what I did not want to

       This included stating that we the buyers were crazy about being upset that the lot was only moved and advising that him MO felt the new lot was just as good and if we were to change as we wanted it would be delay in months for your home to be ready. We could not have a delay in thus we signed for the new lot. Once the home started to be built it was still apparent the lotwas not good for us. The response initially from KB homes to better Business bureau is they would not give a refund due to the buyer's pull out of the contract. This shows KB homes did not listen to us the buyer's side and only the seller mo. During this problem ** said a manager would call us several times however that still has not occurred. I had never spoke to the manager or a proper customer service agent as they kept transfer me back to mo.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The builder and salesman coerced me to change the lot I had picked because they had measured the land wrong. The salesman told me if we didn't sign the contract and wanted a new lot there would be many months additional waiting time. I have attempted to contact management and customer service of the business but they just redirect me to the salesman. I have never spoke to a customer service agent or manager in regards to my complaint. Only the salesman and whoever is responding to the better Business complaint. I am shocked at KB home refusal to assist with a simple refund cuz they broke a contract. I did not break the contract I refuse to change lots. I will be contacting an attorney in a few weeks to move forward with legal action. I haven't done so yet because I was hoping to resolve this through the better Business bureau.

      We originally put a contract to buy a new build home from KB homes Wildhawk 2 in ********* ** from *********************** and *****************************. Now 3 months in we lost our jobs and cannot afford the home anymore, however the lender is using a loophole to get my wife qualified on her name alone. We told them we can no longer afford the house because i lost my job, but they insisted us to close the loan even knowing that we cannot afford it. They also refused to return our deposit of 22k and we are in financial hardship. This is unacceptable and predatory behavior by the builder and lender.

      We regret that our customer was unable to complete the transaction, and we emphasize with our customers job loss and understand they may not have felt comfortable moving forward with the transaction.  However, they qualified for their loan per the terms of their purchase contract with just one borrower.  A buyers ******* money deposit becomes non-refundable to cover the costs associated with holding the property off the market, among others, during the contract.  Maintaining customer personal information is of utmost importance to KB Home, but doing so limits what we can publicly share about this transaction; however, we did mutually resolve this matter.  Thank you.

      Weve been in our home in ** for 3 years. It was a new build. Weve had a few issues that needed fixing. Kb gave us h*** before it was taken care of. First off, our standing shower had a crack in it since the day we moved in. They sent someone to cover it up. It happened again and same thing. Eventually it spread across the shower and they refused to fix it due to being out of warranty. Clearly an issue Id been having. I had to call everyone in order to get it fixed. It was ridiculous. Skipping to today, my ac has been giving me issues. 3 years old. It shouldnt be acting up. Ive had several ac companies come out and tell me that our ac is to small for our house which is causing it not to cool. ** tells me that the ac companies dont know what they are talking about. We were also told our insulation is at 9 in when it should be at 15. Even with settling it shouldnt lose that many inches. ** told us how does he know that is hes only and ac guy. Our ac is running day and night and shooting our bill up. Weve had to also put window units to help. Its a new home. We shouldnt have to do that. Our bill has more than doubled and they call themselves energy efficient. *** called kb supervisors and everyone i can find and no one wants to help me. Our house is almost 3000sq ft with 10 foot ceilings and we have a 4 ton unit. Were struggling this summer. Avoid kb at all cost if you can. The price is not worth the torture they put you through.

      6/18/2024 Complaint Summary: KB **************** failed to send electrician in a timely manner and is not going to reimburse 3rd party electrician service. Address: ************************************************* *********************** Home Residents: *********************************** and *********************** Best Contact to Reach: Cell, **********. Email,***************************** Details: On the afternoon June 6th, 2024 about 6 months into living in our newly built home, we experienced an outage of all of our lights and smoke/CO alarms and as well as our internet smart box. We tried to reset the circuit breaker but the circuit would not hold. I am not an electrician by trade but from some light research, I suspected a short circuit as a likely issue but I was not sure. I called KB Home **************** at **************. ***** from their off hours service came to our home and attempted to restore power in the circuit but it would not hold. He told us that he has contacted a KB electrician on call to have our home inspected for Friday, June 7th, 2024. At the same time we also were attempting to contact another KB Warranty customer service representative, **** but there was no response. On Friday June 7th, 2024, after a follow-up with *****, he mentioned that the issue was transferred to out site customer service representative, ****. **** then contacted us around 10 in the morning that since there was no emergency based on KBs definitions, he could not send an electrician until Monday, June 10th, 2024. With the visibility at night in the upstairs, our internet for our security system,, and our smoke/monoxide alarms losing their main power and as well as the monoxide alarm outside our master bedroom malfunctioning only 6 months into living in the new home, we made the decision to call for an electrician to investigate the electrical problem in the home. I reiterate that I am not an electrician by trade but a public school teacher. I do not know if there are any other electrical issues in the home. I do not want to wait for a major event like a fire or damage to my appliances to happen while I am put on the bottom of the list of priorities by KB Home ****************. After the work has been completed by the electrician, KB **************** is refusing to reimburse the cost of the third party electrician service ($1230.00) on the basis that our issue was not an immediate emergency, based on the fine print of our apparent signed contract. I would like to dispute this definition of an emergency and make a complaint on how KB Home **************** has handled our case. Us homeowners did not want to wait for danger before we could be served by the business, and they failed to send an electrician in a timely manner for this issue. Do we homeowners have to wait for our air conditioning unit to fail or for a fire to start before our warranty claims are heard and timely resolved? Any and all relevant communications with the parties/individuals involved have been documented and are ready for submission to the correct channel. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

      On behalf of KB Home, I sincerely appreciate you bringing this complaint to our attention.  We take complaints very seriously and regret that our customer is dissatisfied. Communication is very helpful to us as we strive to achieve complete customer satisfaction.

      We are very sorry for any inconvenience.  The home passed final electrical inspection prior to close of escrow by the Clark County Building Inspectors.  We provide a new home limited warranty for our homeowners.  The warranty requires that owners notify KB Home of a claim so that KB Home has an opportunity to assess and repair warrantable items.  For electrical concerns, we provide emergency services only when there is no electrical service throughout the entire home.  Because there was electrical service operational in the house, we send electricians during regular business hours.  In this instance,repairs were made by a non KB Home third party company before KB Home could assess the cause of the issue which violates the terms of our warranty. Unfortunately, KB Home is not responsible for repairs made by third parties or any reimbursement.

      Complaint: 21868665

      I am rejecting this response because like I said, the warranty service FAILED to send anyone to diagnose the issue on 6/7/2024 during REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS on a REGULAR  WEEKDAY. Our site still has electricians and workers doing construction in our area and they could not be bothered to pop in for a second to let me know that there's no possible fire hazard or what not?  I contacted KB folks on both Thursday 6/6/2024 and 6/7/2024 and responses were nearly non-existent. I simply could not wait all weekend for a response. This was our wedding weekend and we had guests over at our home, both upstairs and downstairs. All I wanted was a simple check-in from a single electrician by this company and they could not do that. In addition to that this is around our 6-month period for a check-in with the builder and they have since ceased communicating with me and my wife. I'm not keen on the fact that I am being held responsible for calling an electrician to fix an issue just because "inspections were passed" 6 months ago, when KB was the one who failed to communicate, return our calls, emails, texts, and send electricians in a timely manner. It even says so on the response: that they were to send folks on regular hours, which they did not on regular hours of Friday 6/7/2024.

      I wished the people in charge of our warranty for the biggest purchase of our lives would just at least communicate in a timely manner. There's no meeting halfway with you about this issue and that's just absolutely regrettable. It wasn't really about the cost of the repairs but instead for the feeling that this business had us, their customers, in their best interests. We can no longer recommend this business to our friends and family. Our only hope that the leftover period for our warranty such as appointments and inspections are still greenlit because at this point, no one in our homesite area is responding to our communications. We feel abandoned by KB Home during one our most important life milestones (wedding day) and now communication has gone blank.

      The construction behind our home started recently for new homes being built by KB homes. During the prepping of the ground they were knocking down trees which one of them had had been pushed into our fence. Among clearing those trees they also pushed dirt against my fence blocking the water flow and flooding my backyard to about a foot of water. The water had no where to go. This area had been known the flood but the back fence didnt have any blockage. I went and asked the construction manager, ******, to resolve the issue and pull the dirt away from all of our fences. Since they put their foundations in for new homes the water flows against our fences while the water from our homes flows against it adding more to the issue. They did not attempt to put any type of channel to allow the water to flow downhill to the drainage ditches like its suppose to. Im asking them to pull the dirt away from our fences and the debris and make a channel for drainage.

      Complaint: 21837641

      I am rejecting this response because: the problem is not water draining away from their new builds. Its the water that comes from the homes south of me going to my back yard and it has no outlet because they graded up against my fence. This area is known to flood and it did just that and made it worse for my family because they shut off the only outlet for the water to drain flooding my backyard.

      Today 20 Aug 24 they graded again against my fence leaving no drainage for water to exit my yard. Your houses foundation are higher than my fence line which is higher than it was prior to you building these homes. So reassuring me blindly because your excuse is that you are putting grass so it wont flood my yard again.l, cant be reassured.  

      The other issue is the damage you cause to my neighbors fence with your skid steer. You broke his fence and then had someone come in to fix it and during that process cut my internet line causing me to be disconnected from school and over all inconvenienced my family. It seems there is no accountability from the workers at all. No accountability of them cleaning their trash which ends up in my yard.  You are giving lip service to make me go away. I will give a solution to your issue, putting a drainage system behind the fence line of the residents you are building behind to alleviate any further issues with flooding, make your workers clean up after themselves and hold the operator of the skid steer accountable when he damages the existing residents property. The tree you left is causing damage to my fence and will break soon. This tree was marked not to cut when there were multiple other trees behind the fence line that you could have left leaving ample amounts of shade and privacy. Is there a plan for that?

      You are inconveniencing the residents who have lived her for years and its not appreciated because if it were reciprocated you wouldnt appreciate it being done to your home. Responding stating you talk to me when you dodge my calls or dont call me back is not having a conversation with me. Again, the perception or lip service you are responding with will not fix this problem. Im looking for accountability overall and I provided solutions to your problems. 


      Sincerely,

      We bought the house (lot 101) in *******************, ********** ******* in October 2023. We have submitted the warranty list to the warranty department and KB Homes personnel multiple times (they have had a lot of turn over/new personnel) and even the corporate office. The things that were done were only a remedy around the problem/imperfection, for others we received visits of sub-contractors that came to look at the issue and never came back and in most of the ones done they did a sloppy job. Aso they have made a patch on our driveway that affects its structure, our home appearance, therefore its value. As of today we still have many issues that have not been taking care of. In addition, our emails and messages keep on being ignored.

      Complaint: 21831075

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Although I have provided a lot of information; the name of the community, lot number (they have always required the lot number to identify the property), name of the buyer and phone number their response is that they need the address? For which I am rejecting the response because is not a solution to the complaint (but a run around, as I have experienced throughout the warranty process).

      Answering their request, the address of the property is: ********************************************************

      Complaint: 21831075

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Nothing has been repaired. I did receive communication from them and they started scheduling the visits (only for two of the issues on the list), but at the present moment the warranty issues have not been taken care of. 

      In the past they have schedule contractors and they come inspect leave and never come back or they have done a poor job. Therefore, I cannot say the issue has been solved because I have been contacted by them. Once things are fixed to my satisfaction I will consider the issue solved.


      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 21831075

      I am rejecting this response because: we still have warranty items/issues that have not been taking care of. We acknowledge that some items in our list were taken care of, we also have pending appointments and for others we havent received responses from contractors; therefore this complaint is in a pending status.
