Tips for buying a Mobley house: 1. Consider any other…read morebuilder first. This is a terrible company with poor communication that uses intimidation to push through shoddy craftsmanship. Example: We requested a repair of a wall after the building manager had ignored my emails for weeks and then tiled over the drywall. Our original blueprint said to have the showerhead centered over the niche, but did not specify where on the wall the niche would go. We, being first time builders, assumed they would do it in a way that make sense, and didn't think to second guess this. As a result, they put the niche far down the wall so the two showerheads sprayed in more or less the same area, and yet it was per the contract because the showerhead was "centered over the niche." The only time we heard from Marc Mobley he said "If they didn't make the selection and are filing false claims with the BBB [I filed a TRUE claim with the BBB], then we need to cancel the contract. Please let me know where to wire the deposit funds, and I will do it today." As in, "if they continue to fight us on it we will just take the house from them." 2. Unfortunately, Mobley knows it's a bad company, so he buys in places people want to live. If you want the lot, you are married to this builder. In this scenario, the best option is to pay Mobley as little money as possible. During the build, we had to remind and prove that we had paid for major upgrades that were not being done. The details in our house are shoddy - the drywall, the paint around outlets, the joining in the floor, the molding, it all looks as you'd expect, like it was done by people who don't care about quality, just the number of houses finished. I recommend taking credits for things during the build and finding a better company to come do it for you cheaper and better after close. You can also negotiate upgrade money into your contract price (even at the housing explosion peak 2021, we got 20k in there, so I am sure you can do better). This is free money they give you toward all the things beyond the "Mobley standard." 3. Protect yourself. Hire an independent inspector, take photos, and demand photographs of the fixes. It was incredibly satisfying when our building manager answered a question with "yeah I don't know, that just happens," and our independent inspector was able to say "no, this happens because there was a mistake during install." Also have your realtor walk through the house with you as often as they are willing. Bring them on your blue tape day to notice shoddy workmanship. Regarding blue tape day - bring a marble to check your floors, bring a phone charger to check outlets, and take your own notes. Check EVERYTHING. 4. You have a grace year where they are still responsible for their errors. We got a LOT fixed in that time. A few examples: All our toilets were backing up and gurgling, there were multiple large holes left in drywall with smaller nicks around outlets and light fixtures. Caulking had not been re-touched and in some places had not been done at all. Tiles were installed upside down. The flooring people came back no less than 5 times to fix warping and pulling up from the foundation, and the floors are still uneven. At one point Kirk and our manager Reg came to our house and said that "Everything was to code." Not only did they not even bring a measuring tape into the house, but they couldn't actually tell me what code standards were. After further research, it was not to code. This could have been a lawsuit, but I just had them give me the materials to fix it myself. Be vigilant. We had a leak in our roof appear at 16 months after close, but since it was after 12 months, Kirk simply ignored emails and phone calls. 5. Know thy enemy. Even after dealing with them for 18 months, I don't know how much of it was malice and how much was ineptitude. As long as you know that they will try to take advantage of you at every turn, you can stay on top of them. Good luck.

We just noticed water damage to the ceiling in one of our bedroom (clearly a leak in the roof) one month after the supposed one year warranty. I notified DR Horton warranty and they denied the claim.

If you do use them, make sure you have a great lawyer, because you're going to need one. For starters, our home was completed a year later than we were promised. Yes, a YEAR. It was really awesome being strung along and my husband being told "30 more days" month after month and paying month-to-month rent at an apartment, which was way more expensive, but we didn't want to sign another lease because we kept being told completion dates. Andrew who works there has a serious anger management issue. More on that in a minute. We LOVE the design of our home (obviously, or we wouldn't have built it). What we don't love, are the numerous problems we have had with our brand new home. Our home is 1.5 years old and has had more problems then I've ever experienced. Bad plumbing (leaking into our kitchen), bad electrical wiring (we've got to know our fuse box very well), our driveway is filled with cracks, our address numbers have fallen off of our house, our front porch is already cracking, our video surveillance was wired incorrectly and didn't function, our door leaks so much oil that it has stained our grout...we HAVE a home warranty, but getting anyone there to even answer the phone is a difficult task. Our roof leaked and has since caused hazardous black mold growth that the roofing company won't touch until WE have removed. Our neighbors have had many of the same issues as us. When you finally get ahold of someone, which is usually having to show up there, it's horrible service. Andrew has a horrible attitude and is difficult to work with. Things do eventually get fixed, but usually takes forever. OR, they will send someone to fix something and not tell you when the person is coming and it will be a day/time you aren't home...further prolonging having your things fixed. Jean, the assistant, also needs a serious attitude adjustment as well...I've never experienced such a poorly ran business in my life. Even worse, we have to do all the leg work of calling vendors to get things repaired who then give us a run around, citing how horrible Castillo Housing was to work with and how they actually feel bad for people who chose this company as their homebuilder. I'm a pretty rational, kind, understanding person...but these people have made me lose every ounce of patience I have...and the same will happen to you, too. Again, I love the design of my home, but I will never use this builder again and can only imagine what issues are to come.
