Water leakage Repair reimbursement

Had a severe hot water pipe leak a day after moving in. Lennard’s customer rep assured us we’re not responsible for repairs, including a $790 third-party plumbing job on Sunday. Despite numerous email requests, Lennar ignored us.

Cheap materials galore!

  • Eric L.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • December 03, 2024
  • San Diego, CA

Lennar uses a blind bid process to purposefully obfuscate what a reasonable price is. It leads to buyers massively overbidding. Of course, they run a business, so it's understandable, but it massively disadvantages prospective buyers. Their team is good - fairly responsive (at least up until close of escrow - not sure how responsive they will be post closing). Materials used are VERY cheap. For example, cabinets have a LOT of issues, scratches, holes, etc. Really disappointing for a "luxury" homebuilder like Lennar. Cheap materials throughout entire home!

We have had no issues with the build quality of our home so far. These homes are built with quality materials and workmanship. Small items noted on our final inspection were fixed. Our only frustration so far has been a communication problem. Simple, things such as trying to find out the exact name of the color of our white paint, so that we can get some touch up paint, have been far more difficult than they should be. The only other issues we have had were also communication issues. Some staff need to be re-trained so that correct information is being given to buyers. But this is not a ...

Customer service and orientation, window treatments and solar vendors, and Lennar Insurance needs major improvements.

  • Anonymous

  • San Diego, CA

We paid for shutters which were not measured and ordered prior to close of escrow, as we were somehow missed in the process. Nearly 2 months after close and providing data repeatedly, we have not received any response or updates on activation status for solar from Sunnova. Subcontractors are below standard. Welcome orientation did not explain the walkthrough process well, and customer service rep did not show up to introduce himself. We had to find out who is our rep, although he has been pretty helpful since. Affiliated Lennar Insurance wasted our time reaching out to us to offer us a ...

QUALITY WISE POOR

Quality wise, defects everywhere, aesthetics and appliances, very different from the model home that entice you to buy. Customer care responds fast but after that the process of making things done/ fixed takes ages, I believe this is all experienced by most of homebuyers of Lennar sad to say.

Worst experience with Lennar Mortgage

  • Steven R.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • October 23, 2024
  • San Diego, CA

Lennar mortgage went up to a week prior to closing and then said sorry, we cannot finance this. we had to go to a loan broker who got us a more expensive (points, interest, amount) loan within 10 days! We had to move out of our old house prior to closing, so we had to rent an AirB&B with two dogs and a cat for one week until the mortgage was approved. Horrible for all!

My salesperson Chris was very helpful and understanding of my needs. Service follow ups have been a bit challenging and require persistence on my part. Tim has been most helpful with service issues. Gerting a response from the HOA has been rather challenging.

All the paper work is on line. I’m not a “techie” person. Everyone that I worked with was patient and helpful. People that worked with me were always available. The builder got me into my condo before they said they could.

I have had a good experience buying my new condo. The people I worked with were very professional. Everything is on line for your paperwork. I’m not “techie” so I needed someone who was patient and helpful. Except for a few minor things, my condo was ready at my first walk through. I even got to move in earlier than I expected!

Chaos digital portal

Lennar functional teams use different portals. You have to enroll each of them. Each portal looks different. It makes homebuyers confused. It is very hard to know what action you need take what docs you need to read. I have never experienced this type of digital chaos. Personally I love digital process to handle complicate real state. Lennar should use one portal to proceed selling, even prequalifying evaluation.

New Home Owner Experience

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • October 06, 2024
  • Chula Vista, CA

The Lennar team (from sales to finance to post-move in customer service) — everyone was nearly horrible and not worth the money they are paid. I could spend many hours explaining every situation and how bad of an experience this was but to sum it all up. Some of the sales agents are rude and don’t care. The finance team SUCKS and will try to feed you to another company that clearly they will benefit from. The quality team might not actually ensure that important needs are addressed before closing. The builders use VERY cheap, low-end finishing and throw the house together (so expect issues). ...

Spousal Aggreement

  • Anonymous

  • October 02, 2024
  • San Diego, CA

We had many issues closing the loan even when I had over 80% down. The issue was nobody within the multiple Lennar divisions (builder, title and loans) knew who owned getting the Spousal waiver signed off. As a result, my ex had to sign through a virtual notary 4 times. This caused delays in closing which cost me $100s in rescheduling fees not to mention that they had my $1M that should have been earning $150 a day in interest for almost 2 weeks. That is almost $1000 that I will never see. As for build quality, there are many design flaws that are having to get fixed: - pathways to side ...

I've own 2 homes prior and Reed @ EPOCA is my 3rd and hopefully my final. I can't say enough of how my shopping experience was low stress and somewhat enjoyable. All the staff from finances to the on-site representatives, were helpful and patient. We're very happy with our new home. Those individuals worth mentioning are: Felice, Becky and Lisa.

There is a lot of issues in the house like electrical, paintings, dirty windows etc. we did mark some of it during the walkthrough but they just remove the tape but not fix. I placed request for repair but some contractors takes time to respond and come. We closed in August but until now we still have problems. Although our customer care coordinator, Destiny is very helpful.
