DR Horton Homes

Has anyone built a DR Horton home? If so, what was your experience like? What were the good and bad?

Re: DR Horton Homes

  • We built our home with them last year. We had a pretty good experience! My only recommendation to you (and this could have been just a local thing who knows) is that we made some changes to the plan, upgrades and whatnot, and you need to stay on top of checking these things out as they happen! Nothing too major happened to us, but our neighbor said the builder had started to build them a two level island even though they had changed it to all one level. I'm sure you'd have these types of things with anyone though. But, I do recommend them! They were nice, I love our house!!! Enjoy the fun picking things out!
  • Home builders have very different reputations city to city and even community to community.  It's based on the local management team's ability to execute and build a quality project.  Try to find someone who already lives in the community where you are looking to purchase.  It's not easy, but probably worth the effort.

    Realtors will have good advice on local builders.  They will also know what the typical builder concession is in the community.  Also, be sure to use a home inspector.  Sure, it's a brand new house.  Regardless, inspectors will find items that you will want to know about prior to closing.  

    If you need help finding a good real estate agent - it's what I do for a living.  Realtors know good Realtors the same way that you would ask an attorney or doctor for a recommendation.  Just let me know.
