We just started the process with dr horton, you helped put my mind at ease, got till next June to wait for our house to be built. Good thing is I am using the VA.

[@theirvs793]

Best wishes on your building!

[@latoya2750]

I can not thank you guys enough for all these very informative videos. Thank you for sharing. They help out soooo much!🙂 It is good to see positive review(s) in regards to DR HORTON. They have been receiving so many negative reviews, comments making potential buyers afraid to deal with them. Keep 'em coming

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much, and we’re happy that you are enjoying the videos! Yes, we definitely enjoy sharing how we had a positive experience throughout our process with DR Horton. We appreciate you for following our journey!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@adarrinsmith7491]

THEY SUCK PERIOD THE BAD REVIEWS ARE FOR A REASON I HAVE BEEN IN MIND FOR THREE YEARS AND I CAN SAY THEY SUCK!MY NEIGHBOR WHO WAS IN THERES 6 MONTHS HAD THERE UPSTAIRS FLOOR COLLAPSE WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY

[@BuildaHouseWithByronChristina]

Congrats on your new home! We're heading into the last stage of our custom home build right now. You're providing great content for people looking to build in the future. Thanks for sharing with the community!

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much for watching, and congratulations on your upcoming move!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽😊

[@LifeWithKarisha]

EXCELLENT VIDEO.!! I have heard alot about DR HORTON so it is nice to see a good review. Sometimes with reviews, people will only make one if they have a negative experience so rarely do you get to hear the good ones. Y'all have some items to fix, but nothing unusual. I am so happy for y'all!!

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much!! Yes, we think it is important to share our experience since our team and process were so positive. Thank you for following our journey! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@dreab2700]

Yes I'll like to see the staining of fence. Thank you for your videos.

[@dorimullins1762]

I would love to see the staining process. Thank you for your videos. I am in the process of purchasing a DR Horton. I got a little discourage for a second with all the negitive reviews I was seeing. You guys make me feel a little at ease. Thanks again!

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much! Yes, we think it’s important to share the positive experiences we’ve had and encourage others who are building. Congratulations in advance on your new home!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tatiana.mp3]

I love your positive experience with DR Horton. We're about to start looking at new builds and in my area DR Horton seems to be the builder of choice. Your experience makes me feel a bit better. :)

[@theirvs793]

We’re so happy to hear that our story is helpful as you consider new construction! Best wishes as you look around, and thank you for following our journey! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@SheekTresSesenta]

Bought my DR Horton home August 2021 and it has been as absolute nightmare! Glad you’re having a good experience. I’m honestly shocked your home was built correctly

[@theirvs793]

Sorry you’re having such a bad experience. Every community has a different set of subcontractors. Your superintendent is held responsible for their quality of work. Definitely stay on them. Have you gotten your 3rd party inspections and working with a realtor?

[@SheekTresSesenta]

@@theirvs793 LOL I’m on my 6th walk through from a 6th different super. And nothings ever gotten fixed Folks in my community want to sue, go to the media, stuff like that To be real with u. I just want my crib fixed. That’s it and I don’t think I’m asking for too much. Imagine burning 400k on a brand new fixer upper. It’s wild. Meanwhile dr Horton corporate is amazingly useless

[@Untitled0752]

Are you aware there is a class action suit going on with them?

[@SheekTresSesenta]

@@Untitled0752 in Louisiana? Yes. Seems like dr Horton has never ever won a case in as many as 5 or 6 states.

[@candicewalker965]

Congrats on 6 months in your new home!!!...alot more years to go 😊🙏...happy to see that the issues are not so much as compare to our videos I have seen...all the best!!!...I'm still waiting on my builder to start working (very tedious process)

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much!! Yes, we have been blessed to have had such a positive experience, and we will continue to share our journey. Congratulations on the start of your building process, and we hope it all goes smoothly! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@bettinamcclendon9026]

Thanks for the information 👍🏿😊

[@theirvs793]

Our pleasure!

[@crystalcrystal9050]

I absolutely love the process of you guys new construction home. I sure wanted to put my mind to ease when it came to DR Horton because of the reviews. I have been on edge about my furniture as well. I hope you guys have an amazing week ahead as well.

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much!! Yes, we think it is so important to share the positive experience we have had and to encourage others. We appreciate you for following our journey! 🙏🏽😊😊

[@kanwaytajohnson363]

This really helped because we have been in our DR Horton home for 1 month and I was feeling like did we make a mistake but you guys eased my mind. Definitely need to see the fence stain

[@theirvs793]

Happy we could ease your mind a bit. Enjoy every inch of your home, it’s YOURS!!!! Thanks for watching. 🤗

[@janicecantore7180]

You guys are great, love your videos

[@theirvs793]

Thank you!

[@Kevinbobevin1]

This is the third "New Construction" home I've purchased in the last 35 years, and I wish I had a resource like your videos a long time ago. My wife and I and our two boys are closing soon on our new DR Horton home in Central Texas. We'll be using your videos as a resource to help us through the warranty period and beyond. Thanks for these videos!

[@theirvs793]

Excellent, thanks for watching. Happy to hear that the videos are helpful.

[@joshkeeton9616]

I would love yard work tips! Haven't done yard work since high school. And being responsible for a new yard makes me nervous but excited!).

[@theirvs793]

Yard work anxiety is so real lol. We have some yard-related topics on our list to cover, and Vincent has been doing a great job with our yard so far. If you haven't already, check out the description of this video to see what equipment we are using on our Bermuda grass. More to come! 😊😊

Nice informative thanks

[@theirvs793]

[@LiveLove62929]

This a good information, especially when considering new construction

[@theirvs793]

Thank you! We are happy that you found the video helpful. 😊😊

[@dafarmer614]

Love your videos! Beautiful home and love the fence.

[@theirvs793]

Thank you so much! The fence was our first little DIY, so we’re happy it turned out well lol. Thanks for following our journey! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@LauraYacinthe]

yes please post the staining process

[@theirvs793]

Will do! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽🙏🏽☺️

[@SARGE3439]

Fence looks great.

[@theirvs793]

Thank you!!

[@DannyPerry160]

Thanks for sharing. In regard to the furnisher you're still waiting for, did stores indicate you'd have the pieces by a specific date? My concern is some of these stores, to get sales, are telling folks, "Oh yeah, you'll have your furnisher within a month" knowing very well it could take 6 months.

[@theirvs793]

Hey! Yes, they told us it would take this long. The items we have received so far have come in about a month earlier than expected.

[@lovephotography1966]

I'm currently looking at Villa Rica GA 🤞🏽

[@theirvs793]

A great area. Best wishes on your search. Are you working with a realtor?

[@kaimenhibbert5800]

My question is, what state do you live in and do you guys have wood frame or concrete foundation because I know it depends on the state for example in Florida especially near the coast everything is concrete because we occasionally get hurricanes and floods

[@theirvs793]

We are in Georgia, and we have a wood frame. Thank you for watching!

[@Jora_810]

Recommend you get a house inspector if you haven’t already. They know the building code and will check everything and provide a report with pictures.

[@theirvs793]

We have an entire video about our process with our inspector.

[@HoustonVic832]

I’m calling 🧢 really would like to see how many more nail pops y’all have

[@theirvs793]

At the 11 month mark we had about 40 nail pops around the house and 5 cracks and a few other areas that needed to be smoothed. The crew came in and corrected everything. It’s all part of the house settling process. Pretty easy fix.

[@MultiDreamer1979]

I just bought a dr Horton home moving in about 2 weeks..so how is the quality of the build?do you have any issues? I was weary of buying a dr Horton home but I think it is jut the role of the dice I guess 😊

[@theirvs793]

We have enjoyed everything about our home. We have an 11th month review you should check out. Overall, we are extremely satisfied.

[@vincentgaglio5106]

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

[@theirvs793]

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!

[@kendrickdavis1513]

are you guys in Florida? I just bought my DR home in Daphane Alabama

[@theirvs793]

We are in Georgia. Congratulations on your new home!!

[@crystaldon4995]

I am under contract with DR Horton. They poured the driveway with no rebar or mesh. Somethings going on with the ducts not sure.... We are backing out.

[@theirvs793]

That’s unfortunate. I hope you all find you next home soon.

[@Sugi1971]

What plants you have planted in your backyard and front yard.

[@theirvs793]

Hi there, we personally haven’t planted anything yet lol. However, the builder started off our landscaping with pine straw and Dwarf Naupaka plants in the backyard flower bed, several more Dwarf Naupaka on the sides of the house, and several August Beauty Gardenias in the front. Eventually, we’d like to start a cut flower garden in the backyard bed. Thank you for watching and following our journey!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Sugi1971]

@@theirvs793 You asked for suggestions and I thought since it's spring time now you both could do something out door in your yard. Plant some fruit trees, vegetables, herbs, flowers etc.

[@cassandrafearn3820]

In the process of buying my home looked at Dr Horton but saw alot of bad reviews. Now I'm not sure if I should proceed wth purchase. Opinion plz

[@theirvs793]

Every single home builder has bad reviews. DR Horton has a lot, some justified others are because the buyer didn’t do all that they could have done to identified potential mistakes. You should check out our “Is DR Horton the worst builder” video. I’d recommend you get a good realtor and hopefully they can tel you the experience they have had with the DR Horton teams within your area. We had an AMAZING experience, but other communities haven’t been so lucky. The teams are different in each and every community. So connect with a realtor in your area and they should be able to guide you.

[@angelaRedHat]

We've been enjoying your videos. Just found out we are closing at the end of the month w/ DH Horton. The inspection is Friday and the orientation is next week. It's crazy busy since I don't live in the state (yet) I've been visiting every month. I asked about a 6 month walk-through and they said they don't do that. They must have found out about your channel 🙂.

[@theirvs793]

Congratulations on your new home! Thank you so much for watching! 🙂🙂

[@gianelpibe]

Still no issues with your DR Horton home? Im debating on buying from them but they have so many bad reviews

[@theirvs793]

No issues. Everything has been typical maintenance. Such as endless yard work 😅

[@jenniferbelen3340]

Where is your home located?

[@theirvs793]

Hi there, we are in Georgia. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@DennisSection]

I've heard horror stories about those home builders. Am I wrong? The usual story, leaks around the windows and mold....

[@theirvs793]

Every builder has complaints. If you look on Facebook you can find a group dedicated to complaints for just about every builder. Our experience had been great, but we made sure we could get inspections and that the findings would be corrected before we even signed the contract. Things weren’t perfect, but we also don’t freak out about a gap between boards like some people. We just identify the issues and let the builder know and it was corrected.

[@marisolflorer8813]

We justo but a home AND I am nervous with all the thinks i see

[@bryceshannenclother4657]

Seems like you might be getting paid by DR Horton. I live in a DR Horton home built in 2011. Every corner that could be cut was cut. Cheep cabinets, cheap outlets, cheap windows that don't open and close, they stripped the top soil from our neighborhood sold it and replaced it with fill dirt. My back yard is filled with chunks of black top. Studs in interior walls are 24 inch on center. The kitchen cabinets were not screwed into a stud in places. The floors are a wave. There is not a straight line in this place. Everyone in my neighborhood has repainted their houses.

[@theirvs793]

Seems like you might be getting paid by another builder. See how that assumption has zero merit to it. We are sharing our experience, which is been great. We share the pros and cons on our page. We have been 100% authentic. Go try to discredit someone else somewhere else.

[@degraham9198]

Tract homes. Forget it. I'm hiring an architect to place my home on land. Forget this middle class suburban stuff. This is not me.

[@theirvs793]

Enjoy the experience!

[@cudafish9594]

DR Horton is the worst builder you will find! Their crappy homes will cost you a fortune in future repairs. The cracks and gaps will keep growing, the excuses will get more ridiculous! Remember, they use the lowest bid subs no matter how bad they are. Don't count on inspectors being on your side either!

[@theirvs793]

It’s unfortunate that you’ve had such a bad experience. Ours has been great!!

[@terence4427]

Your house is beautiful, but yes, in the Midwest, DR Horton has a horrible reputation. Albeit the homes look nothing like what you have, so there might be some variation in quality/styles across the states. For instance, I notice your home has trim around the windows and the exterior doesn't look like a perfect square box. You have a guest bedroom on the 1st floor with French doors and full bath. Horton builds nothing like that in our area.

[@theirvs793]

This is the only neighborhood we could find that actually had some curb appeal. Our neighborhood was started many years ago and DR Horton came in to finish it. They had to align their designs with the initial designs of the neighborhood.

[@b4letta64]

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.

[@theirvs793]

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. 🤪
