Lennar Reviews in Riverside San Bernardino, CA

We are very impressed with the responsiveness of the care team, especially Ernie, with our post move in issues, which are minor. We love the community.

We had nothing but radio silence and issues when we were actually going through the buying process with Lennar, however once we moved in, we were taken care of with nothing but white glove service. Anytime we had an issue, or had a repair needed, we were taken care of or fixed up within a week. Crazy to think they were the same company. If only everyone at Lennar operated like the on-site sales team. Thanks to George, Daniel and Klarissa!

It was a great experience to work with Lennar

Great people, very helpful to us.

Very nice and professional personnel. Great company

The quality of these homes are pretty good. The experience with Lennar Mortgage was a bit difficult, as well as having issues addressed during the building process. There were issues of not getting all of the Everything Included items that were promised by the Sales Office.

Lennar made it easy to buy

I was impressed with all of the homes I saw. The staging of the homes made you interested in purchasing. I am happy that the builder included all of the appliances in the purchase of the home. I pretty much got everything that I wanted.

Please DO NOT buy a Lennar home. They come with nothing but headaches and the customer service team acts like they are doing you a favor by fixing things under warranty that should not have been an issue within the first two months of ownership. ie plumbing failures, water leaks, water damage, flooring needing to be replaced, blocked conduit resulting in a delay of internet serviceability, heater not working, and landscaping irrigation problems to name a few. Lennar uses the cheapest contractors to build these homes as fast as they can and the quality really suffers because of that. I bought a new home to avoid some of the issues I thought I might have with an existing home and instead I ended with nothing but problems. No accountability from Lennar whatsoever. They often failed to respond to service requests and needed to be reminded in order to schedule contractors for repair. I asked to speak with management to be compensated one way or another and they failed to call back multiple times after telling me they would speak to their bosses about my request. Customer service just responds with general cliches and does not sincerely care about their customers. I would NEVER recommend Lennar homes to anyone and whenever someone asks about Lennar I will always let them know how terrible the Lennar experience has been, especially as a first time home buyer. ...

We had a great experience.

Overall the Lennar team that helped my family buy our home was great

They are really nice people

I closed escrow in July 2021. I expected quality for the price of the house and for having Lennar as the builder. But staying in the house for few months now brought me a lot of disappointments. The granite in our kitchen countertop absorbs water and now stained with oil after it was claimed to be sealed by Brandon from quality control dept., and even after I sealed it before use. I spoke to Brandon about the issue, and I was told that it will be adressed, but I have not heard anything yet until now. Brandon said that maybe because the granite has been stored for a long period of time before it was used is the reason why it absorbs water easily and is already stained. But I don’t think that there is any excuse for not assuring the quality of anything before putting everything together in this house. The shelves and brackets in master’s closet also fell apart after we hanged clothes. As per Brandon, there should only be maximum weight to be placed, which was never mentioned ever. And I don’t think that good quality will break easily. I wish IBrandon said that it is how they make standard closet and I can always upgrade using another company if I want a better quality. Too bad, I thought Lennar has the quality I was looking for. For the repaint and drywall touch ups, I was scheduled for a certain day and when I was making sure to get it done by the scheduled date, Adrianne from builder’s choice snapped at me and told me that I am not the only client. Then the appointment should be more than a day and was managed prior, for me to plan my days as well. Now, for the repaint of my front door and doorstep, the door should have been painted entirely, but it appears that there is no touch up in the bottom area. which is very obvious and frustrating to look at. and for the doorstep, the paint dripped underneath, and now stained the stucko. Which i need to call quality again for. In my backyard, the planter looks weird. It wasn’t straight all the way and the sprinkler switch is the in the middle of nowhere. Brandon said that it was how it was disigned and approved by the builder. Which is confusing because both of my neighbors doesn’t have a planter. Anyway, I got the planter corrected on my own since quality dept will not do it for me in order to show quality. ... More

The sales experience was easy and great! Many promises during walk through and signing- after that ghost town to any issues

Good Quality Home and Very good staff mainly marketing and finance

Loan processor asked for the same docs over and over again. The worst materials used. I’m still having issues and currently I’m without heating and AC.

I had a great experience with our Lennar realtor but unfortunately did not have a good experience with the loan officer we used by Lennar. We do love our house and understand things happen while building BUT Lennar should do a better job with communicating. We have been contacting them for months to have our block wall fixed (which is detached from the wall and is becoming a hazard) and we’re promised the company would call…months later nothing still. We have had to put in two orders to get it fixed and text the manager in charge and have not received a response. The lack of communication with this company is pretty disappointing. ... More

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.

Stephanie helps me a lot!

Problems keep popping up at this house. We’ve been here five months and I’ve put in probably 15 work orders. The builder slapped this house together without attention to detail or quality control.

Buying process was not horrible. Home has turned out to be built extremely poorly and needs lots of warranty work. Builder also decided to save money by not completing a retaining wall between the properties resulting in 15k in out of pocket expense to resolve eroding steep hill of dirt builder somehow got the city to sign off on. Stay away from Lennar if you want quality for your money.

My experience was great! The build had some minor things to fix but the responsiveness with the warranty was fast

Very nice open floor plans

My overall experience with Lennar, and all active players on the team in making the purchase of my home a great experience. I truly appreciate all the help that I received to make this process of buying a home less stressful for me.

Overall, we are okay with our first home experience, friendly helpful staff but really wish for better quality. First, our house was delayed as SCE did not install power cables on time (or so we were told). This messed up our entire furniture delivery schedule. Second, the entire home seems way to rushed. When we moved in the roof was missing a tile, one the cabin door fell off in less than 2 months, one of our window screen was missing during move in, one of light switch was installed upside down, another switch wasn’t connected to power and just found out as the weather is getting cold that the heater didn’t work (and not sure when someone will come to address the issue). With all this, we are not sure what other problems (hopefully none) will come up the longer live in the house. It is worth noting that the staffs (Jeff snd Joannie) were super helpful and responsive through this whole process which made these issues easier to handle. However, we still expected better workmanship for a new home built by lennar. The mortgage loan was made easier and less stressful thanks to the help from our MLO, Kathy, from Lennar mortgage, the escrow and scheduling staff was less helpful and made our final signing and closing experience extremely stressful. ...
