Lennar Reviews in Fresno, CA

Customer service is not good

Overall the experience with every rep was and has been great! Any time we need or needed assistance they would be there for us. However, I will say even though we purchased a lot of the higher end upgrades the install of them was very messy ie. Paint issues every where around the house, as if it was rushed, and so that was disappointing.

I was shopping around other homes such as KB houses and Wilson houses but due to the unavailability of homes I had to look at Lennar homes. My experience was good but not great during process to close escrow as the staffs weren’t quick to response to my questions and needs, I usually have to do 2-3 response to get an answer back. After moving into the home, things started to break such as drywall, hidden cracks, hidden poor construction, a lot of nails from roof and backyard. Overall Lennar homes was not my first choice, I had limited time to find a home so I had no choice as landlord was selling the home I was renting. My landlord home is also a Lennar home and they sold their home due to issues that I’m starting to experience. I love my home and it’s a good home but it’s not the greatest. ... More

I do wish during the walk-through we were given a list of things to remember and do when moving into the house. When we are doing the walk-through, and we are being told all these things we need to remember, let’s be serious we are barely going to remember every single detail that’s being told to us all at once. A list of to do items & need to know items is very important and I wish that was provided. There is also things around the condo that needed to be done prior to escrow closing unfortunately some of those items were not done but I was told it would be done after closing however, I am still waiting for them to be done and I have no idea what I need to do to make sure it gets done. There’s lots of little things that are not done properly I would say, if that’s the correct word like paint splatter on my floors, paint splatter on my balcony door frame, multiple little things like that. For the price I paid and for it being a new condo, I would expect it to be nicely done. I do also wish the master room closet was bigger, I feel like the guest room closet is bigger. ... More

On-site customer service is great. If there are any issues, they are quick to fix them. Everything included makes life easier. The color that comes with the house is hideous, I wish they paint it all white so buyers can choose. I am happy with my decision to buy a house with Lennar.

I am an investor and remote. I was impressed with ads of remote buying experience but my tenants keep finding issues with the house. Now, they don’t have the right mail box keys. I have opened the case, sent multiple emails but no on has responded yet. I don’t understand how we got the keys that are not for the house. Still waiting to hear back. I wasn’t expecting this from a new house. Earlier, we had issues with bathroom showers and kitchen electrical outlets

everything. was good up to the point of commencing. payment of my mortgage where my mortgage servicer is actually. a debt collection. agency wow. Just purchased the property had to be calling 5days in a row to make payment only to be introduced to a debt collector ?

LENNAR HOMES CHEAP BUILDER MATERIAL quality Company

I recently bought a house from Lennar, and overall, the experience has been a mix of positives and negatives. Here is a detailed review of my homebuying journey: **Overall Homebuying Experience: ★★★☆☆** The house looks good, and I was initially pleased with my purchase. However, during the home orientation, I noticed several color spots around the house that were not properly addressed. This left a less-than-perfect first impression. **Quality of Workmanship & Materials: ★★☆☆☆** Unfortunately, the quality of workmanship and materials left much to be desired. During my move-in, my foot was injured by a protruding nail, which I had to fix myself. Additionally, the panel upstairs has shifted slightly, revealing a small gap that appeared just one month after moving in. This is disappointing and suggests a lack of attention to detail during construction. **Trustworthiness: ★★★★★** Despite the issues, I found the company to be very trustworthy. They were transparent throughout the buying process and made me feel secure in my investment. **Value for the Price Paid: ★★★★☆** I believe the house offers good value for the price paid. Despite the workmanship issues, the overall design and space provided are satisfactory. **Responsiveness to Issues: ★★★★★** One of the standout positives was the responsiveness of Lennar’s team. When I reported a large gap in the garage door that was big enough to fit my hand through, Mr. Sam promptly contacted the company, and they fixed the issue quickly. This level of customer service was much appreciated and gave me confidence in their commitment to resolving problems. **Summary:** While my experience with Lennar has been a mix of good and bad, the company’s responsiveness and trustworthiness have been commendable. There are definite areas for improvement, especially in the quality of workmanship, but overall, I am happy with my new home. ... More

They buying process was fine. The sales department is not terribly responsive once you agree to buy. Lso dont feel they were transparent about some issues with neighborhood. After some time we were directed to someone who was responsive. Quality if materials is average at best. I still can't believe they do not include gutters on the house. Overall hiusebis fine and they have been super responsive to maintenance tickets.

There is no clear communication on who should we reach out to in case of any support required. Also, I was disappointed that support takes a long time to respond to any help.

Good

On the building end of things, most things were fine. Construction was great to work and incredibly helpful. Of it weren’t for the helpfulness and caring of the construction team, I don’t know what we would have done. The same goes for the loan department. They were always there to answer questions and provide guidance. However, the sales team was far from the quality I expected. From day one, we were not treated kindly. Concerns and questions, if answered, were short and dismissive. When farther along in the process, an incredible lack of communication made the closing process beyond frustrating and overwhelming. At one point, I was called about flooring and treated rudely because they(sales office) had an oversight and wanted me to rush in picking flooring. I was belittled and was even given wrong information about my contract. So much so, I had to get my copy and direct the sales team to the page so I could verify the flooring purchase. In the last two weeks of the sale, there managed to be so little communication that I was out a refrigerator and a washer and dryer. The communications with the sales team at that point were inexcusable. I was finally able to contact upper management where things were handled with more tact. You would think that a sales team would be more communicative, helpful, and understanding as buying a home(let alone a new build) is not something people do every single day. It would have been nice to be treated with more care and appreciation from the sales team. Outside of that, we are loving our home and the care from the construction team we continue to receive! The low stars in no way reflect the construction team or loan team-just the sales team. ... More

Title team is not cooperative at all, i understand they are busy but it leaves bad taste to customer. Communication is very limited and no response to email and messages on portal.

I had a better experience with outside buys than with Lennar. I felt it was fine but wasn't great. I had higher expectations. I feel floor plan could have been better designed. They give zero options to modify anything. I feel their quality of features has decreased. They downgraded the materials they used in our neighborhood after few homes. They didn't include fridge anymore either. Also response time wasn't great for certain aspects of their mortgage and closing communication. Outside lenders, I had previously used had great communication and availability. I used lennar due to the closing incentives only. ... More

Feel like we were forced to have solar. With no options

When I first reached out to Lennar, I was really excited about buying a Lennar home. Come to find out the whole buying process involved poor customer service with all communication by text or email and long waits for your questions and concerns to be answered. You will get phone calls when they need something but do not expect lennar to pick up your calls. The mortgage people sucks and will not communicate in a timely manner. We love the floor plan but most of the things in the home are standard and is what you see in the model home. You get what you pay for. The overall walk through was fine since touch up was completed prior to move in. The best experience so far is the customer service from Elijah. He helps with all the issues after move in to ensure the issues submitted are taken care of during the one year warranty. ... More

My wife and i have had someone out to fix cabinets twice now. The first time the cabinet guy said that the quality of your cabinets was poor and the issue we were having was going to be a continuing thing. (Front face falling off). He fixed them but failed to do it correctly. So 2 weeks later we had another work request. This time before the job was even complete Elijah starts telling my wife that they will not be out to fix them again and there is nothing they will do anymore. Then the repair man discovered that they were not built right to begin with and he has supposedly fixed it now. But i dont appreciate being told that you guys will not fix something again especially since we have a 1 year warranty and it was your builders who screwed up to begin with ... More

OVERALL GOOD. COMMUNITY FEE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. I MOVED 2 MONTHS AGO. PARK IS NOT EVEN STARTED YET AND I AM PAYING COMUNITY FEE SINCE i MOVED IN ADVANCE FOR 6 MONTHS.

We had to wait over a year for home after promise date. COVID was to blame and supply issues more than builder. Poor craftsmanship overall. Needs more quality control.

Not the best homebuying experience. Sales office was on the ball in getting answers and were enjoyable to work with. Quality of construction and finish work is mediocre at best. Mixing of finishes on plumbing and lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware was astounding. No apparent effort to coordinate!

There have been multiple issues with the home that have needed repair or to be addressed. Prior to closing customer care was very responsive. Since closing the responsiveness has gone significantly downhill. Also that I continue to find issues related to the quality of the craftsmanship of the home that demonstrate sloppiness in the building has been concerning. The insulation for noise and weather is great. The community is well taken care of.

First I would like to say that Tish was very helpful! We were scheduled to close escrow on Thursday 5/02/24. That has been our scheduled closing date for almost two months. Well that didn't happen. We didn't close escrow yesterday and we did not get and do not have access to our house as of this morning Friday 5/03. I had a lot of things scheduled for our house this morning that I had to scramble to reschedule. We signed all of our loan documents on Tuesday 5/01 and Lennar Title received our closing funds on Tuesday 5/01 as well. My wife and I are pretty easy going people and we both are very understanding that things happen. The main issue here was the major lack of communication during this entire process, especially over the last few days as we are getting ready to close escrow. This is our first house that we are purchasing and were expecting a much more pleasant experience. The lack of communication has been an issue during the entire process dating all the way back to when I first inquired about the home. We were just sitting around waiting to receive a call, text, or email giving us instructions on how to enter our new home because it is now officially ours. Had I not reached out to anyone I would have had no idea what was going on and that we were not going to be given access to our new home yesterday. I was also given false information. I sent a email at 9am on our closing date to get an idea on when we will be given access to our new house and I was told that everything was sent over to the County recorder and once you guys received confirmation from the county we will be given access to our new home. We continued to follow up yesterday via email and were told they were still waiting on confirmation from the county. At 4:45pm I called Lennar Title and was told that nothing was ever sent to the county because they have not received the final sign off from the builder. So I didn't find out that we were not going to get access to our new home until 4:45pm on the day that we supposed to close escrow and I wouldn't have even found out unless I picked up the phone and called! I never received a call from anyone at least giving me a heads up stating that they were still waiting to receive the final sign off from the builder. I didn't know what or who to believe anymore. I just feel like there was a lot of finger pointing during this entire process and no one is willing to take any accountability. I can go on and on but I am not going to. ... More

Fast process but quality of home is not worth the price. Sales person was informative but lenner lender was difficult to reach at times so that made it frustrating.

We were promised the house would be cleaned before moving in. On the date of moving in, the house was dirty with dirt and debris all over the inside and outside of the house. When mentioned to the team, they just brushed it off. This was extremely unprofessional. I would like to recognize Rachel Klippenstein, she has always been helpful throughout the purchasing process.
