I built a home with Shaddock in Tavolo Park in Fort Worth. I am extremely happy with the service…read morethat I got with them. A shockingly important part of the process was the people I worked with over there. Rich Berquist was our sales guy, who helped us with all the big, up-front decisions. It would seem like there are only a few decisions like that to be made, but there are actually tons, and I am very particular, apparently. I was over a lot talking with Rich and getting things figured out. Every time was a pleasure, honestly. He's such a good guy and very sincerely wanted to help us to get the home that is right for us. We really feel a kinship with him and trust that he wants what is best for us. That's something much more than sales. I live close, so I was on top of these guys every day during construction. The construction manager, Mack McGowan, is a wonderful person. You won't find a more sincere, honest, patient, helpful person anywhere. He was very much on our side every time any little thing came up and did his very best to get us what we wanted, even if that meant going over and doing it himself. We will never forget working with Mack, and honestly kind of miss interacting with him as much as we did during construction. I can tell you, that's something special in a builder. What a team! The house itself is moderately upscale. In terms of price, I think "fair" is a good word for it. These houses are not cheap. But they aren't built cheaply either. Lots of attention to detail and nice design decisions. The location is really good. As I think over things that could have been better, only two things really stick out: I could have used a little more flexibility on a few items. For example, they wouldn't let us switch the locations of the fridge and stovetop, and we didn't love the selections at their "design studio," which, by the way, is located way out in the colony. The other thing to be aware of, and I guess this is common, is that a lot of the incentives they give you are contingent on using their lender and title company. The title company was pretty pricey and not very responsive. And the lender was personable but refused to make a loan unless I bought points, even though I didn't want them. It would have been very nice if I could have had the incentives and not used their lender and title company. Just go in with your eyes open about the strings those incentives come with. In terms of subcontractors and people you work with outside the team, they were all pretty great with very few exceptions. The drywall company was quite a problem. The workers had a super bad attitude and didn't respect the home at all. Mack had to make them redo a lot of things, though the final product ended up good--I was glad I monitored them. The low-voltage (ethernet and audio) guys were pretty bad to work with--just wanted us to subscribe to their BS service and didn't care about the house or ever get around to addressing issues. These were minor parts of the experience, but I do remember them. The tile guys went above and beyond what their instructions were to do excellent work. The electrical guys were very friendly and flexible, though I do think a few of their decisions on where to put switches were questionable. We loved Raul and his team, who did the brick. We did spray foam encapsulation, which is honestly such a good decision, and that company was really good and thorough too. Overall a great experience. I can tell you if you are building or around Fort Worth, the team you have here will deliver a great home and a great home-building experience.

From Jackie in the office, pre sale questions and everything in between up to closing and beyond was great. She answered any and all questions we had on the build. Michael was on the spot all through the build process and even post closing to help with any issues that arose and fixed them quickly the first time. Bailey helped after closing with any warranty issues that snuck up and even made multiple calls to me after closing just to be sure we had no more issues. Everyone at shaddock has been a class act. Hugely recommend if you need a builder.

Wendi Leigh, Sales Manager, Enclaves at Willow Crest and Clay Kubacak, Construction Manager, Enclaves at Willow Crest are the best to work with. Even though it has been nearly 6 months since we purchased our home Wendi still remembers our names. The service after the sale has been phenomenal!!! When we had an issue right after moving in, Clay was there on the spot and help get it resolved in a timely manner. Both he and wendi work very well together and they communicate, which is a rare thing these days. Even a warranty issue we had 3 months in, was handle fast and efficiently. Clay came by our house himself to check on the problem and had it resolved the next day. CB Jeni sells a very good product and the energy efficiency of the homes are wonderful. They are actually lower in our 2300+ townhome then they were in our 800 Sq ft. apartment. We couldn't be more happier with Wendi and Clay and CB Jeni. Monica and Kent Bissell

First, Taylor, the community manager at the time that I was looking for my home was one of the best managers I have worked with. I had toured several properties and spoken to many managers, but he was incredibly personable, genuine, and made me feel comfortable. I truly felt he worked on my behalf to make it possible for me to own a home that I am happy to be in. He was attentive, kind, and prompt. He entertained the myriad of questions I had with exemplary grace. If he didn't know something or wasn't sure, he took the time to find the answers and explain it to me. I credit Taylor's representation of Landon Home's culture as a factor in the decision-making process. Homebuying is as emotional a process as it is financial. Thank you Taylor! Rhapsody was immensely helpful and an important point of contact throughout the process of building our home. She was just as patient, courteous, and attentive as Taylor was and I felt that she was always ready to assist us when needed. She kept us up to date weekly with information as needed and was always quick to address anything we had questions about. She always went one step further than required of her and I think that speaks volumes. I also want to shout out Mattison as she was someone who stepped up to help here and there! Our builder was Philip and he was paramount to the process. Philip was knowledgeable, thorough, detail-oriented, straightforward, and practical. All the things that you want in a builder. He expertly guided us through our options and choices, making recommendations and offering helpful advice that helped us fine tune our home to our liking. He triple-checked our personal touches to ensure that things were where we wanted them. He made himself available to us if we had questions and honored the things he said he would. I was pleased by his work and months later, still enthralled with our new home. Finally, after we closed on the home, there was a smooth transition to the warranty team. Never have I worked with such a dedicated warranty team! For the few things that have come up, Vicki, Jackie, Alison, and Henry have been incredible. Henry and the team work almost ridiculously fast to solve issues. They have never shied away from any issue, and I feel they welcome the opportunity to serve and improve things. The team is proactive and repeatedly check back in to ensure that the overall process is going well and timely. They are so prompt and execution by the vendors is always top notch. Fixes aim for long-term success and quality of the work is excellent. This team has redefined what a warranty experience should be, and I am thankful for it. All of these people who represent Landon Homes have been a pleasure to work with. From the initial tour to months after closing, the level of care and professionalism has remained high. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a quality home and a team that truly stands behind their work.

I am a current resident at Magnolia Landing, a Landon Homes-built neighborhood in Rowlett. Myself…read moreand every neighbor I've interacted with has had a very poor experience working with Landon Homes. It is very obvious that they care more about the bottom line, even when it comes at the expense of the people whose homes they're building. The most recent example of this pattern of behavior is their decision to suddenly introduce a totally new style of home that will ruin the value of the homes in the neighborhood in the long term. Our neighborhood is currently all cement siding homes; they have built a new home that is half brick and half siding. This is a model home they intend on using for sales in another neighborhood nearby. When one of our neighbors pointed out that our HOA agreement doesn't allow for this divergence (after the model was built), Landon's response is to change the HOA agreement so they can continue. If you're considering a Landon home, I urge you to look elsewhere. Between the flat out lies they told us several of neighbors (such as there would be a playground or park), their selection of vendors to maintain the neighborhood (our HOA service is higher than most around with no pool/clubhouse and most of our areas that are to be maintained are filled with dead grass and trees despite numerous requests to have it fixed), and their general disregard for issues and concerns brought up by their customers, you're in for a nightmarish experience. While building a home is stressful, Landon makes it even worse. I'd recommend checking out literally any other builder.

We were building a home In Princeton Estates…read more I would leave a 0 star if i could, This is me and my wife's first time buying a home/ building and absolutely the worst experience ever. I am not the type to leave reviews but KB has created a crazy amount of frustration Our experience with KB Homes has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. We started this process with clear expectations based on the numbers and information we were originally given, but everything changed after months of time, effort, and emotional investment. From the beginning everything was running smoothly until the second credit pull, it seems there was an error on their end -- our Audi was "missed" on the credit report, even though it has shown up on our credit since March. We verified this with another lender, and I even explained that the Ally Financial inquiry was tied to my wife's car, not mine. Somehow, that was overlooked, and now it's being used against us months later. What makes this worse is that the second credit pull is the first time we're hearing that we'd have to pay off additional debt when that was never brought up as an issue before. KB Said "your DTI is nothing to worry about you make good enough money" after we ran the first credit pull. My bonus income suddenly "doesn't count," even though they verified it directly with my employer. I even paid down a credit card from $13,000 to $3,600, only to be told I now have to completely pay it off to qualify and pay down more. We are in the works of getting our earnest money back but they are essentially refusing to give it back even though the entire reason we even signed up to building this home is off the initial estimate which had "missing" debt. And was changed in a way to make it better even though they planned on changing the estimate months later before we closed. We also don't understand why our when we originally requested for additional seller credit that was denied early in the process, yet now that we're about to back out, suddenly it's available. That feels manipulative. Originally, we were told we qualified for 3.5% down, didn't have to pay off any debt, and our closing costs would be around $9,500 with a $5,000 seller credit. Now, after all this back and forth, that number jumped to nearly $18,000 with a 5% down payment **and** an additional $7,400 of debt payoff. Then after getting more people involved we were told if we closed in November, it would be $9K wiht $10k seller credit , or $11K in December with $5k seller credit-- but still with the debt payoff. The numbers keep changing, and none of it makes sense. Seems as if KB is trying to take advantage of us due to our age and no realtor. We have three kids and were budgeting carefully. These constant changes would leave us completely cash-poor, unable to even furnish the home. What's most painful is that $6,000 earnest money we put down, if we pull out they are saying is gone even though we believe it was there mistake. We feel like we've been strung along, misled, and treated like pawns in a process that should have been transparent and honest. I never leave reviews, but the amount of stress and frustration this has caused is beyond what anyone should deal with when trying to buy/build a home. My recommendation is stay away from KB homes and there Loan department as they are very misleading
