I purchased a brand new home from this company and received my keys just yesterday 2/1/05 afternoon. As soon as I was handed my keys I was told by one of the ladies at the Sales office that my house had the wrong address, but it was no big deal. No big deal? The deed just recorded with the wrong property adress. She then handed my a letter dated 1/11/05 from the city of Coachella advising my of this mistake. Why didnt the company KHOV notify me or correct this before we closed escrow on 1/31/05? This after all is some "major" mistake. I drove directly to my "new" home and as I drove into my driveway, the garage door was open my shower and toilet were sitting in my garage. The door leading to the house from the garage was propped open with pieces of carpet pad. There is a hole in the wall where the shower should be and the hole in the ground for the toilet.

Make note: I have 2 young children 2 and 5.

We procceeded to walk through the house expecting workers to be nearby having been working on my bathroom. No one in sight. The front door was unlocked. Who knows how long my house had been open to the public. Nothing that had been noted during the orientation "walk-thru" had been cleaned or repaired. Scratches on the walls, cabinets, dish washer, broken cabinets, dented door knobs, broken screen, nails on the roof top, gaps in the stucco, along with other misc. The floors, windows and bathrooms are dirty. The blue tape where the Rep that did the walk-thru noted the pending corrections was still everywhere. NOT one thing had been touched.

Most important there is NO running water in the upstairs bathrooms. There is running water in the kitchen sink, but remember the downstairs toilet is sitting in the garage. Several phone calls later I've been told my house to "some" people may be livable and it depends on what I consider "unlivable" — Customer Service Manager John. No running water upstairs and no toilet downstairs—is livable?

Anyway, I was told that my house would be moved up to priority but there is only one person for 50 houses. I was in no hurry to close escrow on my property, I didn't mind giving them time to complete it and give me a "NEW" house not a fixer. I paid in the mid $300's to receive a dirty, unlivable house whose garage I couldn't even pull into. But, they say I should be happy because I received a $1,000 dollar credit for construction delays (I should have received my house in October) and $2,000 dollars for closing before 2/10/05. I was told my house was move-in ready. Did I mention we are running off a generator until 2/3/05 that is IF they keep their promise. My shower was to have been ready 1/31/05?? Empty promises?

Yes, did I still have faith and believe they were honest? Yes, up until I drove up to my "NEW" and expensive fixer upper! Please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions about who can help me with my current NIGHTMARE. I have contacted different NEWS channels and hope to take this to as many cities as I can to warn the public of companies such as this one, eager to make a buck even if it means breaking a family's dream!
