    We would like to express our highest appreciation and strongest recommendation for Mr. Carl **, Superintendent at D.R. Horton America’s Builder, Orlando-East Division. My family and I recently purchased a new home in the Ironwood neighborhood in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Mr. ** assisted us throughout the walkthrough and all inspections, including the final inspection process. From the very beginning, he demonstrated outstanding professionalism, dedication, knowledge, and genuine care for the customer.

    During our first tour of the house, Mr. ** walked us carefully through every part of the property, both inside and outside. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly, including the home systems, smart-home features, utilities, air conditioning, security contacts, warranty information, deadlines, websites, phone numbers, and technician contacts. His explanations were detailed, patient, and extremely helpful. He also placed colored tags wherever small repairs or adjustments were needed. He did this not only where he noticed issues himself, but also wherever we asked, always with goodwill, patience, and without hesitation. His attention to detail was excellent. At the final walkthrough, he showed us that every tagged item had been repaired carefully, even in the smallest details.

    Mr. ** answered all of our questions, gave us clear advice, and made sure we understood how to take care of the house and warranty paperwork properly. He provided us all necessary paperwork and contact lists for utilities and house services, and explained in detail how they work. He is clearly a highly trained and highly motivated professional who knows his work extremely well. He is active, dynamic, polite, kind, accommodating, and always pleasant to work with.

    As someone who is myself a hands-on, handyman-type person, I was especially impressed by his sharp eye, practical knowledge, technical skills, and professional standards. We have also seen his truck moving throughout the neighborhood many times, which shows how active, alert, and dedicated he is in helping homeowners and making sure everything is done correctly. In my opinion, Mr. Carl ** represents the very best of D.R. Horton. He deserves the highest praise for his excellent work, his professionalism, and his care for customers. I strongly recommend him and am very grateful for all the help he provided to us during the purchase and walkthrough of our new home. Andrei and Maria

      We met with Leyton ** who was very knowledgeable about DR Horton Homes and about The Arbor homes. He spoke with about 45 minutes. My husband and I are from Phoenix, AZ and are hoping to move to Northeast TN next year. We really enjoyed our time with Leyton. He is very friendly and made us feel very comfortable speaking with him. He gave us other communities to look at that would meet our needs better. We appreciated our time with Leyton.

      Sam ** worked with my husband and I to find our forever home. He was very personable and listened to us about everything we wanted in our future home. Any time we had a question, we were able to text or call him, and he would make time to answer any questions we had. Sam felt like we were working with our best friend during the whole process and we couldn't have asked for a better person to walk us through the scariest times of our financial decision. We look forward to working with Sam and recommend anyone to work with him when building their dream home.

      D.R. Horton is a dishonest, lawless company that cannot be trusted. I was going to buy a new house in Heber City, Utah and I entered into a contract while the house was under construction. After the sales agreement was signed, D.R. Horton started sending me numerous addenda that were mostly senseless, inaccurate, and redundant. I told the sales agent, Joel **, that I was not comfortable with the addenda and explained the errors. He changed some items, but kept insisting that I sign the addenda or else D.R. Horton would not "go forward" with the sale.

      I told him (and he knew I was a lawyer) that we had a fully executed sales agreement and I was not required to sign anything. I explained I had the right of specific performance (meaning I could sue to enforce the fully executed contract). I explained that Jordanelle Ridge's organizing documents had been rendered unlawful by Utah House Bill 217 about a year ago, and yet, Jordanelle Ridge never revised the documents to comport with the law.

      I also learned that the government and Jordanelle Ridge were disputing terms for the government to fully authorize the Jordanelle Ridge development. D.R. Horton did not seem to want a lawyer with my level of knowledge (including reading the bill that directly affected the development) to be in the area. Behind my back, Joel (or someone) told the D.R. Horton financing agent to stop working on my loan (a D.R.Horton loan agent told me this in a text message). So D.R. Horton insisted that I sign addenda that legally I did not have to sign, then interfered with my financing for so long that I could not meet the financing contingency.

      I thought of suing but then decided I wanted nothing to do with D.R. Horton after reading about so many new-construction complaints online. Then D.R. Horton sent a letter to me stating that I was unable to obtain financing - this is false and I could easily finance this home as it was way below my means. I corrected this nonsense and I am very glad I did not buy the house. I can only imagine the forthcoming disputes in Jordanelle Ridge, the lawsuits to come, and the very unhappy homeowners who have yet to learn what I know. This company is arrogant and treats customers with no regard for clearly established contract law. D.R. Horton is a disgrace to Texas.

      DR Horton does not care about their buyers. Their salespeople will tell you whatever they think it will take you to buy their home. Once the contract is signed that will be the last time they will do anything to help you or follow the contract.

      Please don't make the same mistake I did. They are not a company who backs their product. When you pay over 500,000 for a new home you expect it to work and we have had issue after issue that's not covered in the warranty. You can't put a fridge in the garage, it trips the circuit and no not covered under warranty, they trick you with high stress signing day and you can't inspect the house so all the fixtures and doors that are broken get to be your new headache, they do not support their products. Do not buy it!

      Hello Nikki - household appliances can draw a lot of electricity and the refrigerator in your garage is an example of that. The GFCI outlet in your garage was not designed to support a refrigerator and the refrigerator should be plugged into a different circuit.

      My experience dealing with D.R. Horton in the Alabama area has been extremely frustrating and unacceptable. For the first three years in my home, we dealt with ongoing issues that were never properly resolved. After selling the home, we discovered that a separate tank had never been connected, proving the problem existed from the beginning—not something that developed over time. When this was brought to their attention, instead of taking accountability, there were attempts to explain it away as something that occurred over the years. That is simply not accurate and shows a serious lack of responsibility and proper oversight.

      Dealing with representatives in the Montgomery, Alabama area only added to the frustration. The level of professionalism and communication was not what any homeowner should expect. No one should feel dismissed or talked to in a manner that lacks respect—especially when raising legitimate concerns. This is not about personal feelings—this is about accountability and doing right by customers, including veterans and military families who expect and deserve better.

      To anyone considering buying in the Alabama area, I strongly encourage you to inspect everything thoroughly, document everything, and do not assume issues have been properly handled. Overall, this experience raises serious concerns about quality, transparency, and customer care in the Alabama region, and how this entire deal was handled.

      Very poorly built homes. Their Warranty is a joke for a new home. They will not fix things properly, simply put a band-aid on things. Building quality is terrible, but they still charge top dollar. Their Motto should be for their construction crews: "Do your best, Caulk the rest."....
