Their homes are Trash. Stop Selling out. I am a Property Appraiser and a License Home Inspector, and I will tell you that they are scam artist, they cut corners and they are being sued for a reason
We bought a Dr Horton and it’s has been a nightmare since month 3 of closing. Can’t believe there can be that many issues with a new construction. Smh never again
You say a Team of people working on the Home. Dr Horton subcontracts all the home building to cheap Emigrant work crews who can't speak English . are you living in a dream world The Irvs ?
Why did you give Dr Horton a good review ? Everyone knows you buy a Dr Horton home.. that buyer is into Nightmares with the home.
We spoke about our experience buying a DR Horton home….
Does it patina?
Nope, looks just like it did on day 1.
Craig from Quality Home Inspections did my initial inspection as well. He is awesome. I am coming up on my 11month now. Let me make an appointment!
He’s great!!
Hi, Great review! only one I can find on youtube! Does the leather cover wrapped all over the bottom of the cushions too? or its only the surface of the cushion? can all the cushions be taken off of the couch base? thank you! thinking to get one but having the same issue won't see an actually couch in their store.
Hi! The leather is only on the visible top area. The bottom has more of a flat piece designed to be a bottom, if that makes sense. All of the cushions can be removed for easy cleaning of the couch.
How many weeks after dry wall was installed did you guys close?
Drywall was the halfway point, so about three months after drywall….i think. There are date stamps in the video that should be able to get a better accurate timeline.
I can not believe this video was made in the light that it was. First off, you two act like you are the first people to buy a home. D. R. Horton homes are AWFUL! Thw quality is trash. Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, in a newly built home shoud be falling apart within the first year or two. No children or pets in the home I'm referring to. Just two retired adults in their 60s and 70s. Not a drawer front. Not a piece of molding. NOTHING! Ive been buying houses for nearly fourty years and never have I ever experienced such poor quality as i have with D. R. Horton.
I can not believe your comment was written in the way it was written. First off, you came projecting your problems on us. Our DR Horton home is AMAZING! The quality is stellar. Everything, I repeat EVERYTHING, has met and exceeded our expectations. We are so happy with our home and DR Horton provided us an outstanding experience. 🤪
I’ve literally been on the fence about the Zander couch from west elm for over a year, thank you for the video…. Can you provide an update since your purchase?
We still love every single thing about this couch.
Anyone know what manufacturer makes the Zander? The West elm employees told me they have a manufacturer in the carolinas.
I absolutely love your content! Anymore videos coming soon! They’re so helpful! In the process of purchasing in the last phase there!
We are glad you like them. I’m sure we will be producing some new content soon. Are there any particular topics you are interested in?
Im purchasing one and am aware of the bad press. I walked a completed home NOT the model. Yep its the crew you get. And the quality i saw was great!
Best wishes on your purchase!
What a beautiful home im moving into a DR Horton home but their smallest floor plan
Thank you!!
Property taxes is county theft
Well, if you move to a rural area the taxes will be much cheaper. Move to an area that provides a wealth of services, taxes will be higher. The choice is yours.
Bevis and these 2 butt heads. 😂😂😂get lost!
Great video! I just (literally 15 minutes ago) purchased the Oliver sofa in Dove Twill. It’s my first furniture piece from West Elm. I was able to get it on sale for $559, usually $699, after 2 years of watching and waiting and dreaming. Estimated delivery is between 2 to 4 weeks from now! Good to know what to expect from the white glove delivery.
We hope you enjoy it!!
I’m purchasing the OPAL 2.0 nugget Ice maker this week!! But now u have me looking at this fridge for July 4th sale!!! Great review!!! I probably won’t use the ice maker in it!!
It’s funny how important ice can be!! Enjoy.
Worst builder out there.
😢
7 out of 12 homes on my street had in home major water leaks. My plumbing fixtures were loose, water lines hooked up wrong, electrical had loose wires at the outlets and all smoke detectors. 2 vents in my roof flew off during a storm due to them not securing them. And every home has to have the exterior painted because they put such a thin layer on.
Sounds like the superintendent didn’t do a very good job, and the buyers didn’t have inspections. Failure on both ends.
I grabbed mine on sale at Home Depot on sale in January. I love it , was surprised at the amount of water it uses to clean. I’m not wasting detergent any longer , I’m pleased. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!!
Im looking for DR Horton Homes in orlando. If I have agent ,what benefit I will get? Is it good to book home during construction or after construction? I see some homes of same model less price ,/price updated in Zillow, why is it so? In that's right time to book? At what stage we should call home inspection ? do I need Pre-approval before signing contract?
By having your own realtor, they will have all the answers to all these questions. You don’t gain or lose benefits by having your own realtor. You do lose protection by not having your own realtor. Zillow prices are never accurate for new builds. It’s best to be in contract before they start building or at least early in the process. Inspections can happen before the walls go up and again once the house is done. Yes, you need a pre-approval before signing a contract.
Thank you for the thorough review!
Our pleasure!
Can we get another update video ?
Sure thing. Be on the lookout!
Isn’t there suppose to be caulk on the baseboards?
Yes!
Just purchased mine, the newer model. Quite similar. I appreciate the video!🎉
We hope they treat you well!
Do you still love your sofa? Thank you
Yes, we still very much enjoy the sofa!
@@theirvs793 Thank you 💕
Congratulations on your new home! I'm glad you two had a positive customer experience with all parties involved in making your new home happen. I believe that banks and realtors who insist they want to be "good neighbors" in the communities they serve would be a huge help if they held complimentary classes/seminars for first time home buyers. Classes that will teach them all the steps for a successful purchase experience. People who had a bad experience would benefit from these classes too.
Many credit unions do offer those types of classes. The first and scariest step is walking into your bank and asking them to explain the process to you. Had we not taken that step we would have missed our opportunity to purchase while interest rates were extremely low.
YES THEY ARE!!!!
Okay 🤷🏾♂️
You are one of the lucky few. DR Horton is the Walmart of houses
I guess we got the Target treatment! 😅
DR Horton homes are mostly built like crap but yours was really nice
Thank you!
Sorry, D.R. Horton really does suck. First of all their home designs are garbage. They put apartment sized kitchens in 4 bedroom homes. The layout of their floor plans are crap. Tiny windows in great rooms and living rooms or they are situated so there is only one small wall that even faces the backyard. Unfortunately, most of the houses in my area are D.R. and it really limits our ability to find a decent home.
I guess you didn’t see our home tour. 🤷🏾♂️
@@theirvs793 I've toured plenty of DR Horton homes and seen how bad they are.
Could you please make an updated short video showing the ice catching containers in the correct position and how that impacts the slide out shelf below? Also, please say what the actual inner depth of the freezer compartments is. I want to know if a cookie sheet could fit inside. Thank you kindly.
We can do, and yes a cookie sheet will fit inside. We’ve put a whole roast pan in.
T. Village. Don't want to give away your area. That neighborhood is a hidden gem in our county. You get homes that look like stuff out in Decatur. They say the HOA is very picky about the house colors, had a friend who was a builder in that community. He told me if they use a color that is not approved, they make them repaint it.
Thank you for your video, it was very helpful. it put me to think, because I really like DR Horton Builders and the incentives they are offered. I'm in the middle of the process to sell my apartment and buy a house with them. God bless you!
Glad it was helpful!
Im damp😂😂 I just ordered my set. Caught it on sale and it will be delivered on Valentines day❤ my present to myself. Im so glad you showed me where the lint tray is. Great Video
Hope you enjoy it!
Look at any value/volume builder. There will be endless negative reviews.
This is true.
Samsung junk
It has been some great junk for us!
Garbage. Ice maker and pitcher
The garbage ice and pitcher taste sooooooo good!
@@theirvs793 wish I had the opportunity to taste it. Both are broken.
Glad I found your videos! Would love more updates from you guys. Keep up the good work.
More to come!
Can you please share your inspector name and contacts?
qualityspecinspection.com
I have watched 2 of your videos so far and they are well done. Your content is helpful to retirees looking to build with DR Horton as well. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
I never left a fridge door open when I was a kid. Whats wrong with these kids 😅
I may have done it once as a kid.....NEVER AGAIN! lol
I am looking at buying a home from Dr Horton that is maybe a month away from finishing, ifipurchase I will pay to have the home inspected, I like the home but scared because I see all the bad reviews out there, I am in the North Carolina area
Getting an inspection done is like having a finance advisor look over your investments. Nothing is perfect, but having a trained eye look over things will help you get a bit closer to perfection!
I just got my washer yesterday. Hopefully I can save on the electric bill. Thank you for providing instructions.😊
Hope you are enjoying it!
The electric bill isn't usally high on washing machines
I absolutely love mine. I agree with the ice dispenser was poorly designed. Thanks for sharing
Hi from Canada. Are you able to tell me how deep (front to back) and wide the compartments are? Especially the lower compartments. Thanks ahead of time. Kind Regards!
We realized that we had the ice tray set-up incorrectly. We needed to lift it slightly. Now it stops making ice once full and doesn't fall out of the tray!
Nice video! How is the couch holding up after one year? Are the cushions holding their shape?
Cushions are holding their shape, they still feel absolutely amazing and we would buy it for every single room if we could ha!
Are you still enjoying your DR Horton home? We’re looking into getting one built since our first option has been sold.
We are still loving our home. No major issues at all. The only pain is keeping up with the landscaping...all sorts of unwanted things grow outside lol.
lol, I’m not looking forward to the landscaping. It’s good to hear you’re still enjoying. We’ve started the process and because of your video, I’ll have rectangle sinks and a pull out trash can, lol.
Also, is that the Calacatta empire tile in the master? Thats what we picked!
I just bought a DR Horton house do you have to tell the superintendent you are ready to do a 3 month walk through?
3 month walkthrough isn’t standard procedure for every neighborhood. We had a good warranty team that was very proactive. I’d suggest either you do your own walkthrough and submit items or hire an inspector. Remember to read your warranty documents. That will give you a good idea on things to look for and what items you’ll want to wait until your 11th month to submit.
wow, you had a darn good inspector. I hope our inspector is just as top notch as yours. We are starting the process, for the 2nd time, we had our consult with the realtor on 12/27/23, wish us luck. Thanks for sharing
Best wishes to you all!!
