Not very helpful, plus they over charge and dumped all expenses in closing costs.
DR Horton was the best choice, no closing costs and some other perks.

I had a fantastic experience with both Edgar and Susan for my verbena home. Edgar delivered excellent workmanship, paid attention to every detail, and kept me updated throughout the process. Susan was honest, responsive, and made the entire transaction smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate their professionalism and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a home with Centex.

I’m excited to say that I just purchased a Verbena model home with Centex in the Rainbow Canyon community and I was impressed throughout the process. Ryan, who was the sales representative, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful, providing all of the information that I would need. Frank, the construction manager, was also very knowledgeable, and his communication throughout the build process was very clear and thorough. The construction group put in a high quality of workmanship in the build, and I am grateful for their hard work and craftsmanship. Thank you for your support in building my new home!

This is my second review to say Buyer Beware. There are so many problems and upset owners that we want to rent or sale. There are so many issues like poor quality, terrible construction and a do nothing HOA. The doors and windows are substandard and we recently found out that inadequate breakers were installed for a dedicated wash machine outlet. Every time it would spin the breaker would trip. There were several of us with this problem. Although it was known the developers were not proactive in remediating the problem. The blowing dirt was so bad we had to call Code Enforcement, Water Authority among other authorities. Those of us that have spent a LOT of money to landscape and bring in copious amounts of gravel is to no avail as the dirt blows in and DESTROYS our landscaping. Last year the HOA promptly after a storm, sent us letters to take care of the weeds that had blown in with the uncontrolled dirt from building sites. Nothing was said (HOA) about the garbage or dirt that was covering our yards because of the developers mess. To date I have spent $55k trying to make this house livable. Dirt comes in the house daily from substandard doors, windows and vents. I have to vacuum the top of my range every morning then wipe down because of blowing dirt coming from a neighbors pile of dirt. Before you buy it is recommended that you drive through and talk to some who are living here. The amount of money you will spend on bringing the house up to reasonable, your money is better spent in several other communities. I wish to heaven I had NEVER heard of Centex. They do not do a good job. In fact over 74 years this is the worst I’ve experienced.
