Sorry the word extortionists is mispelled, here is something else I also forgot to mention. My home was color coated the wrong color by the builder. We argued over who's fault this was and the builders blamed us. We were told it would cost $4,000 to re-colorcoat the house and the builder would split the cost with us. We did not think this was fair because it was their mistake. The builders basically told us come and get your deposit back and forget the whole deal.
We agreed to the extra $2,000 to get the color right but we were never happy about it. We were constantly told, "Hey we are doing everything to get this house the way you want it and you are sitting on a lot of equity so keep your mouth shut, don't argue with us and be happy about it. When we signed our contract the builder told us they would need 5 months to build the house. Per our contract they had 6 months to build our house. Here we are 7 1/2 months later and we are still not in our home. These builders use subcontactors for everything. A lot of these subcontractors appear to have day jobs and do the work for R&B on the side. Our house sat for many many days with absolutely nothing being done. If you decide to build with R&B you can expect the same.
Lastly, Mike Ross the President of R&B Homebuilders would never give me a straight answer as to why he raised the price of my home on the day before escrow closed. He made several excuses like I had to haul off trash and I had to make several trips to this store or that store for the sink or faucet you wanted but this was no reason for jacking the price up by $10,000 on me. All this man cares about is money, he cares nothing about you the consumer!
