Lennar Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

Poor quality homes, they use the cheapest materials and perform sloppy work. They don’t own up to mistakes. They constructed the property lines wrong by 5 feet on one side and they would not take ownership of it, said that they don’t make mistakes. Well thankfully my husband called the city surveyor out who confirmed the mistake and forced Lennar to redo the lines. Another example: when we removed the tile in kitchen we found patchy concrete that wasn’t the correct type and would cause long term uneven floors because they had forgotten to put in piping for the fridge. When we confronted the construction manager again he said it wasn’t them, they wouldn’t do that. They just constantly do a rushed job and you need to overlook the whole process of building not just the final cosmetic inspection. I don’t trust them and know we will find lots more issues down the line. ... More

Constant threats of losing your deposit even though they didn't approve you and sends you to another place to get approved very sketchy. They approve you even though you cant actually afford a property to make a sale. The house itself was way overpriced for the area in what you actually get, no fans anywhere in the home and all bedrooms don't even have lights wtf is that. A bunch of damage that was identified through the walkthroughs that still have not been fixed and its been 3-4 months already. They leave you with a dirt backyard no grass or anything and left a BUNCH of construction trash throughout the backyard. Ive bought 2 homes before this and by far the worst experience I've ever had but hey they got the sale they wanted. Walkthrough guy was dale, made a bunch of promises to fix things and never does. ... More

The paint job that was done in the kitchen and restrooms were of poor quality. Paint was splattered all over the floor and globs of paint were dropping on the wall. The construction didn't seal holes from the deck causing a lot of bugs to come inside the house, especially a huge trail of ants the first 2 weeks we moved in. When we did the inspection of the home prior to moving in to fix any mistakes, they missed it of what we marked off. They were supposed to fix all the mistakes but only did about 70% of them. The information we received from our agent was inaccurate as well. Overall, for the new construction, and price being paid, we still had to spend 3 days painting the entire house because it came with flat paint which no one wants to live in a house with flat paint due to stain and scuff marks, and the quality of mistakes made, it was a really disappointing experience and purchase. ...

No . Disappointed about services care team of Lennar.

The worst experience one can have, bought this house for more than $1M and the quality of the house is extremely low. The customer service and warranty services are disaster, vendors takes months and months to even address the issues those have posted even prior to closing the escrow. I have purchased houses through other builders and I could see a big difference in the quality. If you can't make it right in the first place then at least try to be customer obsession and insisting on the higher standard but providing great customer service to make it out as warranties. Call me if you really wanna to know more to improve ... More

Don’t want to say anything

Poor floor quality no happy with first floor material

I would not recommend anyone to Lennar. Quality issues and an electric water heater that sounds like a compressor. Electricity bill 4xs the amount of my neighbors. Ridiculous experience.

Issues began the first day we moved in. Within the month we’ve lived here we have had a major water leak. Slow response times to fix the issue. The items we discussed in the walkthrough were not fixed and our move in day was awful because of it. We are even considering legal action at this point because the leak was brought up in the inspection and lennar breached its contract by lying to us and telling us it was fixed and addressed when it clearly wasn’t. Do not recommend this company to anyone and this seems to be a similar issue with our neighbors. Really disappointed wish we could take it back and go with another builder. ... More

Can’t believe Lennar would want me to reiterate the nightmare of an experience home buying at Willow Springs has been. Fraudulent actions on so many levels, and a home that has had numerous issues within the first week of moving in. Non responsive customer service department. Love the location, but absolutely shocked at the multitude of issues upon move in, and the fact that they are still unresolved six weeks later!

The quality of the materials and workmanship very poor.

Poor response to issues and takes to long to find someone how can respond you hear excuses like is not my job I agree but you should know one who supposed to help I am very disappointed off your professional response

The lending and purchasing was terrible. I have other co workers and friends who just gave up and didn’t move here because of the process. I’ve shared this a few times with Lennar and no acknowledgement for your sales team. The home itself and lot is amazing.

I decided to give new home buying a shot. I’ve purchased four primary homes in the last 10 years so yes I do have some experience. However new home buying with Lennar has been nothing but painful. I think their intents were right but the execution was horrible. First off, each dept doesn’t care about their peers so they just push accountability around. Second, the loan dept was the worst I’ve used ever. Didn’t really have a choice as their deal was the best for rate. But be prepared for some stupidity and lack of common sense from the underwriter to doc processing. Sales rep did his best but he was not in control. Then came the funniest part. Land division didn’t update utility company about closing timing so Lennar sold houses advertising everything connected, but without internet e nothing is unfortunately :) Frontier came and showed me an empty junction box because they were not updated by lennars land division that we are moving in. Then finally the nightmare of your address not recognized in google map. Deliveries failed and stuffs get sent to other addresses etc. if you really have time to deal with these bs or if you really want to experience a brand new house for the first time like me then by all means… ...

She never communicated with me the buyer. I would have to be the one to call the office to get answers to my questions, even then she would have to find out the answers to my questions and get back to me. She never did call me back until I had to be the one to her call back. Unacceptable. Customer Service team was great!

We have had struggles and issue with our home from the start. We got in the home in spite of Lennar Financing, it seems like they did everything they could to keep us from being financed. But we got in anyway. Now with the home we have had multiple issues one right after another, some in series.

In our experience, the home buying process at The Province in Indian Wells was terrible, although we love the home, the neighborhood, and our neighbors. The main trouble came from the Representative at the model homes, Corina. Once we opened escrow, this was our point of contact. During escrow, Corina was very uncommunicative, told us wrong or incomplete information countless times, and even almost caused us to lose the house on two different occasions. On the day of closing, which fell on a Friday, Corina dropped the ball once again and we had to drive from Indian Wells to Menifee to the Lennar Escrow office to fix it and close on time (4.5 hour roundtrip drive and had to leave work unexpectedly to do so). Corina and the sales team take Thursdays and Fridays off with no communication or support available, so if your contingencies and or/closing date fall on a Thursday or Friday...beware...you are on your own those days. The unfortunate part is Lennar seems to not care at all about Corina's lack of ability...we have met three other couples that recently bought here that had a terrible experience with Corina's work too, causing a lot of stress during the buying process. Oh...and if you're self employed, bring your own loan. We wanted to take advantage on the $10k in closing costs' credit, but the Lennar loan person didn't have more than 1 year of experience, so he just denied us the loan 4 days before loan contingencies were to lift; we secured our own loan within the four days with no problems, and we had to fight to get the $10k credit even though we "had" to use our own loan officer/company. Great homes, terrible sales experience. Very unprofessional. ... More

quality has gone downhill, can't wait to sell

The lender leading up to the closing date was the worst experience. I would never use Lennar as a lender. I had to get a backup loan because so many mistakes their officers made. The loan officer and processor didn’t seem to know what they were doing. Once we got the house we needed so many repairs, they are building so fast they make so many building mistakes , crooked walls leaks. The only positive experience has been with kristine she handles all the repairs and issues after move in.

I was initially drawn to the design of the home. The design and the actual house is ok but the entire process was bad. The entire process was transactional and it was not at all efficient. I never felt like a valued home buyer. Support was lacking and at times several departments from Lennar does not seem to know what is happening. I have heard this same experience from others that actually bought my old home instead of a new home from Lennar. Customer Service is definitely below average.

Most of the experience was good with the exception of the closing process. They close of the house was delayed by a month or later. We were charged a rate extension fee through Lenar mtg and were told that this would be credited back and it never was. I tried following up on this several times only to get delay after delay which leads me to the thought that it’s really just a stall tactic until I go away. This has been a terrible experience when it should’ve been a great one.

Horrible experience with a few employees that did their job well. Initial walk through of the home showed build quality and finishing touches were mediocre with cracked shower fiberglass to deep scratched windows to paint drops on the kitchen floor to drawers scratched. Kristine took care of it professionally and quickly. We have lived in our house for a month and have multiple large cracks in our sheet rock where the ceiling meets the wall. The home is beautiful but the whole experience of buying was horrible

Love our house but we had issues with things the first day we moved in. I’ve noticed little flaws here and there and carelessness within the build itself but I do love my house.

Horrible communication with all parties involved with Lennar. Lennar agent saw us show up with our realtor and advised us last minute that we would not be able to use him. We were pretty much on our own throughout the whole process.

Lennar's workmanship is not what it used to be...it was top notch many years ago when we purchased a prior home. This time around, the workers who built the home did not pay attention to detail; some of the finished work was sloppy, no attention to detail in some areas and overall I attribute it to rushed work. Thumbs down for me on Lennar: I would consider other builders in the future - I wouldn't exclude Lennar, it's just that I would not make them my 1st choice of builders any longer. Ex: exterior stucco - not sealed at the Fascia of the home, allows bees to nest; nails showing through exterior stucco; nails showing through interior stucco; overall poor quality control; during our walk-through for final sign off, the interior of the home was dirty - no excuse for dusty floors, dirty tub and shower. Very disappointing. In years past I gave Lennar 5 stars. ... More
