Centex Homes reputation April 22, 2007 10:32 AM  
I've learned from my realtor that Centex is more on low-end quality home builder. Is this true? Your opinion, as a homeowner, is much appreciated.

I don't own a home from them but I'm considering one. I did some research and the J.D. Power website shows Centex winning all three possible ratings in Quality, customer satisfaction and one other thing with 5 out of 5 stars for a couple years there.

I would say check www.hadd.com and www.hobb.org for the real info.
Wonder why some posters sound like they are salespeople for these builders.

Hmm, I checked those sites out. Only 1 complaint in FL from hadd but twenty something overall. One thing that didn't sound good was on the hobb.org site, don't like the sound of it:

"Centex now incorporates a number of safeguards in their standard unilateral contract that deprive the buyer from certain Constitutional Rights. Their contracts contain a Binding Arbitration Clause, which deprives the home buyer of their Constitutional right to a trial by jury. Amazingly, Centex incorporates a "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions" in their contact that also restricts the home buyer's Constitutional Right of Free Speech. It reads as follows:

"PICKETING AND DEMONSTRATION - picketing, protest marches, sit-in demonstrations, protest speeches, or other forms of public protest...Owner, by acceptance of the deed to any Lot, shall be deemed to have accepted the foregoing prohibitions as REASONABLE LIMITATIONS on his or her CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH..."
"


I've also been considering an MI or Beazer home as they are in the area that I'd like to move to. Beazer seemed similar in the number of complaints to Centex but only a few on MI Homes so MI is at the top of my list so far.

Who sounds like a salesperson, hardtimes?
