Investigation: New Home Heartbreak
Trump - NAHB Homebuilders Shoddy Construction and Forced Arbitration

 

Outrageous! Buy a New Home - Don’t Sue and Shut Up
Homebuilders will stop at nothing – Now Buyers must agree not to Speak
Beware of New Builder Clause – Homebuilder requires that homebuyer sign clauses forcing buyers to give up their constitutional rights.  It’s a decision between constitutional rights and the American Dream.

The BBB recognizes Legend Homes
Legend Homes was awarded the 2002 Gold Star Award by the Better Business Bureau for quality customer service and high standards.

In 2006
Just ask Marcia Kushner what she thinks of Legend Homes

All of her adult life Marcia Kushner, as did her parents relied on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) track records for every big purchase made.

For the last year Kushner has been waiting on the BBB to take action against her builder because her home is defective and Legend Homes refuses to stand behind their product.   In fact Kushner patiently waited through nine months of the free mediation process that has left her disillusioned and feeling misled by all concerned – the BBB management, to the mediator.

Incredible Strange Things Happening to New Home
Houston Community Newspapers
Homeowners increasingly face builder damages, neglect

"There was defective caulking, large gaps in the bricks, the tub wasn't working properly, cracks in the ceiling and the dining room, water intrusion in the walls...," Kushner said. "Even my garage door wasn't installed properly and every time the wind blew, it would cause the security alarm to go off. I had to have someone come out and fix that problem. It was horrible." A closer inspection would reveal nearly every family heirloom and assorted clothing and shoes stored in her closet had fallen apart, leaving Kushner clueless as to the cause...Kushner has presented her case, from the Harris County Appraisal District to Rep. Corbin Van Arsdale to members of the statehouse all the way to Gov. Rick Perry.

 Legend Home Warranty
Court records confirm that "Home of Texas" turns down 86% of all claims
 Warranty Info          
A new home is a major investment with great potential to appreciate in value. By including the HOME of Texas Limited Warranty on your new home, Legend Homes backs up their reputation with a written insured warranty. This warranty assures the homeowner that warranted defects will be corrected according to specified guidelines throughout the term of the warranty. 

The HOME Limited Warranty is available only through approved Members of the HOME program. To qualify, builders must meet stringent membership criteria including Professional Building Ethics, Financial Stability, and Technical Competence. Additionally, Members are re-screened annually to assure that they continue to meet these standards as years go by. Legend Homes is proud to be a Member of the HOME Warranty Program. When you are provided with a HOME Limited Warranty, you can be certain that your home was built by a quality-conscious professional.

The HOME of Texas Limited Warranty is fully insured by Warranty Underwriters Insurance Corporation (WUIC), a Texas P & C company, which is approved and audited by the Texas Department of Insurance. Builders in the HOME program have an excellent record of fulfilling the terms of the warranty; however, unforeseen circumstances can sometimes prevent a builder from keeping his or her commitments. As a homeowner, you have the confidence of knowing all warranted items will be covered by HOME's insurers if the unexpected occurs.
