Lennar Reviews in Sacramento, CA

Great Team ! Micheal, Adrain, Joey

I am a repeat Lennar homebuyer. My experience has been good.

Good construction quality Quick responses and service Reasonable prices Electric outlets and lighting fixtures are included Great customer service streamlined Overall great experience

Inside of the house structurally also there was a difference in one of the bedrooms. They claim ei but they did not include little things like hand towel holders. Their craftsmanship for details like painting , switch covers installed, base boards is not upto the mark. I thought Beazer was bad and had much higher expectations from Lennar. Plus not much choice for kitchen counter and cabinet upgrades.

Here is my honest review of my experience so far. To begin, we love our house and would consider buying from Lennar again. But the buying process was not problem free so just know you have to advocate for yourself early on. Do not sign off on the walk-through until ALL issues are resolved first. We closed escrow in September 2024. Lennar Mortgage and Title did not communicate with each other very well. We had to keep on top of our closing date because Title said they did not receive the paperwork from Mortgage and Mortgage said we just had to wait to hear from Title. It was very frustrating. I had to go into the sales office to get Title on the phone. We were told from the very beginning to use the Lennar portal for communicating, but they rarely responded when we used that so we used e-mails outside of the portal instead. Upon our walk-through inspection, the HVAC (cooling) was not working. The next day we were told a switch had not been turned on. It did get a little cooler the next day, but not well enough to notice a major difference. This time of year was cooler so we didn’t really need the AC much anyway and missed it not working well. Now that’s it colder outside, the unit is not heating the house up. We have made a repair request so this issue is pending. Also upon our walk-through, there were other defects we found and most were corrected. (Thank you Josh) However, the pantry door had paint torn off (we were told for the second time) so the door was repainted (a third time) and was left open for a week. The paint has torn off again and now that we have submitted a repair, Lennar said they will not strip the door and repaint…they will only just paint it again and then we need to leave the door open for six months. Six months? Janene said I have to live with my pantry being open for six months? I’m not happy about this. There are other items on our list to be repaired so we’ll wait to see what happens there. Janene also said that no house is perfect and we’ll have to live with that. Great customer service! If I’m given the opportunity I will circle back and update this review with respect to our outstanding issues. (i.e. stucco chip by front door, closet rod too short, missing exterior touch-up paint kit, garage drywall cracking (*Janene said they don’t fix cracks in the garage drywall), etc.) Mail. We have had major problems getting our mail forwarded from our old house to the new post office. At first we twice had to go back to our old house 40 minutes from us (the new owner is awesome) to retrieve our mail because USPS does not recognize our street name and would not forward mail at all. Now we get to drive 15 minutes to the post office to retrieve our mail. Are there no permits with the city for new streets? Was our address formatted correctly on the building permit? Why is it taking so long to get mailboxes operating? I know Lennar is not in control of this, but could they step in and assist? I don’t think they care about the mail issue. Janene was quick to let us know she cannot help us with this problem. I want to end with that I love my house overall. The floorplan is what we fell in love with. And if you know you will “have to live” with your house not being perfect when turned over to you, then you should be okay. ... More

The buying process was a breeze. Just that initial closing was irritable. Overall awesome experience

Lennar was able to contact me within a reasonable time for understanding the issue and quickly able to schedule a time to come and fix the issue.

very good in general for the price paid

Lennar made my first time home buying experience a breeze. It started with Kristiina who was a wonderful sales agent and made us feel comfortable and welcome. She was patient with all of my first time home buying questions I had. Next was Brian with Lennar mortgage. He also took the time to answer all of the questions I had and helped me get a great interest rate. Lennar Title got all of my paperwork completed on time and made everything a breeze having the mortgage and title company in one. Finally, Ryan and Ozh, the construction managers, and Michelle with customer care spent hours with me going through the home during my New Home Orientation and taking note (and fixing) every item I brought up. I moved in almost two months ago and so far everything is great. ... More

As a first time home buyer, my experience with LENNAR was undoubtedly a great one. Smooth communication all around! All questions were answered from sales to close of escrow. I would recommend LENNAR to others looking to purchase

Still waiting for repairs 120 days moved in.

Many issues with the home that still remain. Sloppy finish work that looks like it was rushed. Expected a lot more for the price and how the Lennar representatives boast about their product.

There was a large selection of home styles and lot locations. Once you decide the size and design of the house you want be sure to ask on what lot this style of house will be built. You can't pick a lot and say I want my house here. The style of house and what lot it will be on has already been decided in the master plan. Then ask what is the release date for that lot and when will the house be finished. Lennar is very good with their projections of when a home will be ready to move in. You need this information so you can plan the sale of your home and when you can move into the new Lennar house. Their scheduling and move in date was right on the money. ... More

Warranty service is very problematic. Otherwise I am happy with the build.

Sloppy workmanship. While it is great that Lennar gives you a full year to file issues that you find with your new house and they would come and fix at no cost, I'd rather not have to do that. Especially on kitchen cabinets and outdoor paint job. These are issues that are easily spotted.

So fare I am happy.

This was a great move for us from start to finish. The neighborhood is terrific, our home is beautiful. The ideal location and home for us. Very happy with our decision.

Love my Lennar home and the community

These homes are thrown together so fast, the quality of workmanship from subcontractors are horrible!!

The houses are poorly built not enough insulation between floors trim work is shoddy too many items to mention on this I wouldn’t recommend their homes

The only suggestion I have is that the position of the outside faucet not place to the side of the house, there should be at least one faucet near the front of the house or near the garage

I have had granite in 3 other homes and never had to seal it right after purchase. Home Depot gives a 15 year warranty on their granite purchases for kitchens and bathrooms. After I moved in I started to get stains on my granite in the kitchen and bathroom and that is when I found out I had to seal it. They have a full page disclosure in the thick purchase contract that covers them that they are not responsible for stains in granite. Very convenient. I put a sack of oranges on the granite and one leaked and now I have a huge stain on may brand new counter. I called a professional grout sealer company and they would not take the job as they said they can not guarantee on this type of poor granite. Lennar then sent someone out who said they can't do anything about it and said that was all they could do. After I pushed back. I understand they are sending someone out after the lock in place is over. My concern is why use such bad material in such an important location as kitchen and bathroom and why was I not warned upfront when I picked it out so I would have at least had a chance to pick something else out. So my brand new kitchen has a big old stain on my granite which to me only means they use substandard materials. ... More

We move-in in December 2019, up until now various problems throughout the home has not been addressed.

Happy with our purchase. There were minor issues after we moved but they helped us resolve it.

Please pay close attention to concrete work that is inferior to most builders in the region. The landscape provided is far the worst I have seen for a new home. (many dead or dying, cheap plants)
