Drees Homes Aka Zaring Homes Aka Aucherman Homes Aka Expression Homes Deceptive Sales Practices and Shoddy Workmanship Little Elm Texas

From the time we first spoke to Drees and signed a contract on our home we understood that the road connected to our front and side yard, was a neighborhood access road. Mr. Luis Tapia (Drees Sales Representative) informed us that this road was only to connect to Highway 720. As of April 2004 Highway 720 was renamed to Eldorado Parkway. On several occasions we talked to Mr. Tapia about Eldorado Parkway because we have a house one block off of Highway 720, and the traffic is so bad we can't get out of our street on to 720. This is why we decided to buy a new home in Eldorado West, was to get out of the traffic and stay in the Little Elm school district.

Because our Daughter just got her driver's license and we would be close to the new high school. She wouldn't have to drive to school on Highway 720. Then after just four months in our new home we get a letter, from the city that Eldorado Parkway is going to be a main Corridor from Highway 75 to Highway 35 when a toll bridge is completed. The very thing that we were trying to get away from had just been put in our front door. The fact is, it has been discovered the road will carry 46,000 cars per day as estimated by the NCTCOG (North Central Texas Council of Governments) and will also allow for heavy truck traffic.

It has been discovered through the Town Managers Office that Drees knew about the corridor from the inception of the subdivision via John Baker, the developer of the land and the developer of section 7 of the corridor. The city has painted a crosswalk on the corner of our yard and installed sign's. Now the other home owns want a traffic light. There is already a street light & fire hydrant on this corner. This will definitely have an impact on my family's safety and well being due to the extensive amount of traffic, noise and pollution. Had Mr. Tapia disclosed Drees knowledge of this road, we would not have purchased this home.

Our foundation is moving like a train, our roof is moving, pulling walls off the floor, and the ceiling off walls. We have huge cracks throughout the house and just want a buy back. Drees deceptive practices along with their shoddy building practices have cost us our happiness.

Our family has been deprived of safety for our child, and a real burden to resale our house with this road which has left us both emotionally and financially drained. We do not want to be subjected to further discomfort or paying for mistakes that were not of our making but that of Drees Homes. Drees Homes, buy this home back!
