D.R. Horton review: Arrogant, lawless, and many construction complaints

D.R. Horton is a dishonest, lawless company that cannot be trusted. I was going to buy a new house in Heber City, Utah and I entered into a contract while the house was under construction. After the sales agreement was signed, D.R. Horton started sending me numerous addenda that were mostly senseless, inaccurate, and redundant. I told the sales agent, Joel Ames, that I was not comfortable with the addenda and explained the errors. He changed some items, but kept insisting that I sign the addenda or else D.R. Horton would not "go forward" with the sale. I told him (and he knew I was a lawyer) that we had a fully executed sales agreement and I was not required to sign anything. I explained I had the right of specific performance (meaning I could sue to enforce the fully executed contract). I explained that Jordanelle Ridge's organizing documents had been rendered unlawful by Utah House Bill 217 about a year ago, and yet, Jordanelle Ridge never revised the documents to comport with the law. I also learned that the government and Jordanelle Ridge were disputing terms for the government to fully authorize the Jordanelle Ridge development. D.R. Horton did not seem to want a lawyer with my level of knowledge (including reading the bill that directly affected the development) to be in the area. Behind my back, Joel (or someone) told the D.R. Horton financing agent to stop working on my loan (a D.R.Horton loan agent told me this in a text message). So D.R. Horton insisted that I sign addenda that legally I did not have to sign, then interfered with my financing for so long that I could not meet the financing contingency. I thought of suing but then decided I wanted nothing to do with D.R. Horton after reading about so many new-construction complaints online. Then D.R. Horton sent a letter to me stating that I was unable to obtain financing - this is false and I could easily finance this home as it was way below my means. I corrected this nonsense and I am very glad I did not buy the house. I can only imagine the forthcoming disputes in Jordanelle Ridge, the lawsuits to come, and the very unhappy homeowners who have yet to learn what I know. This company is arrogant and treats customers with no regard for clearly established contract law. D.R. Horton is a disgrace to Texas.
