If you consider buying from KB Homes, be sure to have a real estate attorney look over everything. Do not trust their sales people! This company has put us through the wringer, charged us with fees for not going with their lender even though we never signed a loan agreement with them. When I first signed up, I told them that I was using my own lender (I work for a credit union) and they said it couldn't hurt to entertain theirs (KB HS Home Loans). They have you sign a contract to pay for any rate locks but the amount was left blank. They gave us a loan agreement and the origination fees blew away the huge builder credit they dangle in front of you. We rejected it and never signed. Then, the night before closing (which was cancelled that same night by them over lack of attic ventilation) our credit union is told to wire an extra $4,445 for a rate lock, citing the document we signed with a blank amount. They couldn't provide a signed loan agreement because they didn't have one. No bank will wire based on a no-amount agreement and a side note with a dollar figure, by the way. It took some serious protesting to have that removed and they did it "as a favor" to us. We are on our 5th closing now with no date set. I had purchased appliances and furniture after our final loan approval a few days before closing and now they tell me that if I have to trigger another final approval over this, since my purchases caused the issue, they would not return my earnest money if it falls through. Oh, and the reason I'm under such scrutiny over the loan is because I lost my home buyer for my current address since we couldn't move out in time for them (because of KB's date moves). They will make everything your fault and then stick it to you for it.
