People in Cibolo's Fairhaven neighborhood say Pulte Homes built shoddy houses and are trying to ignore their responsibility to fix them.
A meeting among homeowners packed a house, as dozens of people came together with Pulte Homes as one common gripe.
We've been fighting with Pulte for over four years," said homeowner Brian Benavides.
Brian Benavides and his wife Peggy had significant damage inside their home caused by unstable ground underneath.
It's caused their entire foundation to shift, making their house uneven and difficult to sell.
"You're selling them the problems that Pulte caused by building houses that just aren't of any quality," said Benavides.
Their problems are not unique.
Dozens of people have reported problems with their homes in that subdivision. Some have dealt with them for six months, others for five years.
A representative from Homeowners for Better Building, a non-profit advocate for homeowners, was in attendance to help the group organize to get results.
The first step will be to send letters to the company, officially declaring they'd like their homes bought back.

One more thing, to make matters even worse, Pulte seems to have sent a mole to our meeting, a gentleman that did not even own a property at Fairhaven showed up and spent the whole meeting trying to downplay the gravity of the situation, I could not believe that they would use such a strategy.
