I would give negative stars if I could. I paid my earnest money and began the process of building a home with CB Jeni in June 2017. I was told that if anything fell through, I'd be able to get my money back. They said the home wouldn't ready until March, which was perfect for my timeline. A few months later, I found out that the home would be ready in December. They tried to force me to close in December but I was able to push it to the beginning of January 2018 (still too early).

I was working with one of their preferred lenders (Bank of Texas) who told me they locked in my rate in June. Two weeks before closing, they told me they were locking in my rate... which was now significantly higher than the original rate. They lied to me! I asked CB Jeni to give me more time and push back the closing date so that I could find a new lender. It was Christmas and I needed a little time to find a new lender so I could purchase the home because the new rate made the monthly payments unaffordable for me. CB Jeni refused to push back the closing date and immediately sent me documents to withdraw from the purchase of the home. I would not sign the documents but a week later received a letter in the mail saying that they would no longer allow me to purchase the home and I would not be able to get any of my earnest money or anything back.

Over the next few weeks, I was harassed with voicemails and emails from the Bank of Texas. It was the most horrific experience, especially since I had to move out of my apartment and had no where to live. I was absolutely devastated and it just added insult to injury to be attacked by both the lender and CB Jeni and on top of it, lose thousands of dollars.

Just three weeks after I had been scheduled to close, CB Jeni sold the home to another buyer. They obviously had someone ready to go and just wanted to get me out of the purchase and steal my money that I had paid in the beginning.

DO NOT buy a home from CB Jeni or do any business with them or their "preferred lenders", especially the Bank of Texas.
