Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise the team's attention to detail, and one reviewer says Bo was closely involved throughout the process. Serious concerns also appear: one customer says punch-list items remained unresolved and the home was still unfinished years later, while another reports unaddressed neighborhood concerns and construction debris left on an unfinished site for more than three years.

Customer Reviews

Allison Amos

They are very unresponsive to neighborhood concerns and refuse to clean up construction debris for the last 3+ years on an unfinished site. Beautiful property but they left it looking like trash.

Monique Henderson

The contractor Gary is very nice. Gary went out his way to help me and I appreciate him. His supervisor Bo was just as nice.

I don’t normally write reviews but I wanted to share my experiences that I have had with Bo Knez and his team. Bo is intimately involved in the entire process and his team pays attention to all of the details. It is refreshing to deal with a builder that has integrity and owns the process. He has the experience needed to avoid problems before the arise. I have dealt with a few different builders and I can easily say that Knez homes is the best by far.

Worst buying experience I have ever endured. (Still enduring) Promises, promises, promises without delivery. During my new construction build I was given 3 different Project Managers, each of which ignored numerous items from my pre-purchase punch list > many of which are still unresolved more than one year later. Unfortunately my trust for this builder caused me to sign for the purchase of the home per the promises made that these "simple items" would be rectified asap. I have learned an extreme lesson as a result and will never build another home without the close assistance of a lawyer. Buyers beware, anything not in writing, will not get completed for you. These limited photos show just some of the craftsmanship I am being forced to accept with my new construction home build. Shameful. The home I paid to have built in 2020 is still not completed today (March of 2023). I am happy to discuss my experience in more detail with anyone considering building a new home. I hope no one has to experience the feeling of disregard and ignorance that I have been forced to endure during this most frustrating 3 year experience. 100's of phone calls....100's of emails begging for completion of my home...Knez now proudly ignores me because I signed on the dotted line. No need to make good on your promises I now know. Fool me once... (I hope you are proud Bo Knez, life is short right!?) 3/29/2023 RE: Knez > If reaching out to you directly was effective, this review would not exist online today. You are either proud of the work you charged me for...or you are not. If you think someone paying for a new home build deserves better than this, you know where I live. Your inaction tells a different story of your beliefs however. Your choice, my nightmare...now online for the world to see. Stay tuned for more great pics!!! Per conversation/request with Knez rep, new-photos of currently outstanding issues added today. 3/30/2023

I had the pleasure of working with Knez, a phenomenal real estate developer who exceeds my expectations in every way. Bo and his teams deep knowledge of the industry and their exceptional attention to detail are truly unmatched. From the very beginning, Bo took the time to understand my vision and priorities for the project. He provided invaluable insights and guidance, helping me to make informed decisions and ensuring that the project was executed to perfection. One of the things that impressed me most about Bo was his ability to balance the practical and the aesthetic aspects of the project. He was always mindful of the budget and timeline, but never compromised on the quality or design. His innovative ideas and creative solutions helped to elevate the project to a whole new level. Moreover, Bo's professionalism and communication skills are truly outstanding. He kept me informed and updated throughout the entire process, and was always available to answer my questions or address any concerns. His positive attitude and exceptional customer service made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. In the end, working with Knez is the best decision for development needs that will exceed your expectations. Their attention to detail, commitment to quality, and exceptional work ethic are evident in every aspect of their projects. I would highly recommend Bo to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate developer who delivers exceptional results and unparalleled service.
