my experience purchasing my Lennar home has unfortunately not been the best. In particular with the workmanship and the broken promises. Very little has been done for my issues i pointed out during my walk-through Cody, the sales rep was quick and responsive so I don’t anything bad to say about him. He guided us through the process nicely. And helped us navigate our experience. That part of my experience was fine. However, my experience dealing with Lennar mortgage rep, Lee was one of the worst customer experiences. So much so, I went with another mortgage company even though Lennar ...

Rushed closing leaving awful taste for future buying from Lennar

Lennar rushed closing of the homes for the hill district, knowing well the street is not ready for living conditions. This make investors lose thousands of dollars for couple of months. Worst closing experience for the purchase of The hill district .

Lennar responded:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your closing experience in The Hill District did not meet expectations.
If there are any warrantable items still pending, we invite you to email us at CorporateCustomerCare@Lennar.com, referencing this review, so we can review your concerns and work toward a resolution. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Sincerely, Lennar Corporate Customer Care

One thing you have to remember is that you're working with the seller's agent might be a good idea to bring someone who represents you. overall wasn't a bad experience but they're making some changes that we were not happy with but they made it work out with us, also read your paperwork carefully few times I've caught mistakes in their favor but again, overall I will still buy from them, their professionalism and detail to their work and customer service is pretty good.

The overall buying experience was handled in a very professional manner. The display homes were very fashionable and provided us with many ideas to carry over into our new home. The sales staff was extremely helpful and offered several great incentives.

Some parts seem rushed/cheap, others great

The biggest issues are that the shared walls aren't nearly as dampening as I was told, and that the paint job was very light/rushed. I assume it was all just sprayed on, but they should have put a thicker coat on because the slightest bump takes the paint off. The ACT D'MAND remote also doesn't work far enough to make a difference. Aside from that and a few cosmetic things they left (e.g. paint on locks), it's a comfortable place. Except for the dishwasher--which cleans well but whose interface is very cheap--the appliances are great. Even with the windows closed and a 90º day, it doesn't ...

Satisfied with Product

My experience with the mortgage process was largely positive. The team was very responsive and quick to address any issues, and the approval process was smooth. However, the escrow phase was confusing due to a clear lack of communication between the escrow team and the loan officer. The closing statement had to be revised three times, which was frustrating and required extra effort on my part. The sales process was excellent with great communication throughout. As for the build quality, I would rate it as neutral. Several major components were non-operational at closing, which required ...

not reliable, could not honor the promise

  • Shuanglian L.

The closing date was delayed badly with potential loss more than $1200, we understand the challenges with the solar vendor change and asked for compensation, it was agreed during the closing process. However, once the house is closed, I was told since the deal is close, they do not think they need to honor what they promised for compensation. So disappointed

Poor planning

Safety Issue: There are NO railings on the walkways. This is a major falling hazard, especially for kids and elderly residents. It's an accident waiting to happen. Parking Nightmare: They gave 50 homes only 10 guest parking spots. That's one spot for every five families. It's impossible to have friends or family over. This isn't the safe or convenient community we were promised.

Struggling with USPS mail delivery after moving into our new Lennar home

The buying experience seemed satisfactory at the beginning and until closing. However, once we moved into our new home at the Trails community in Carmel Mountain Ranch San Diego, we observed that the USPS letters were not getting delivered to our assigned mailbox. We learned that USPS has not yet installed the mailbox carrier locks and they didn't have a timeline for completing the corresponding work order. The mails will start getting delivered only after the mailbox carrier locks are installed. We contacted Lennar and to our surprise they just apologized, but showed no willingness to help ...

The sales person I was assigned to work with was not good at all. He wouldn’t respond to any of my questions. He would communicate only when something was needed on the lennar side and he would pressure me when he needed something. His boss was equally unresponsive and unreliable so I didn’t really know who to turn to. We are not local and now after the purchase we need some support and its not clear who to go to for questions etc. While the property is very nice my experience with the hudson team has really not been great
