A Commitment to Excellence
D. R. Horton revolves around a commitment to excellence, a dedication to meet the needs of every client they work with. Horton recognizes that a home is an investment, not only of money but of time, effort, and care. Horton’s commitment to excellence is based on three principles, value, trust, and tradition.
D. R. Horton measures value in more than just costs and payments. Value is a measure of how much time, energy, and care someone invests into their home and those they share it with. This is why D. R. Horton uses the best materials, techniques, and designs in each home they build so that clients get the most value out of their new home.
Trust is essential when choosing someone to construct a home, as a home is an investment and a place where people live their lives. An untrustworthy construction company is at best a hassle, and at worst, a hazard to any potential homebuyer. For this reason, D. R. Horton strives to treat all of its clients like family.
Tradition comes in two forms with D. R. Horton, the first being Horton’s tradition of quality and affordability. The other is in the home itself, how it can become a tradition as a client grows and changes through life in their new home, perhaps giving their home to their children. Horton’s tradition of excellence is built to help their clients create new traditions in new homes.
