Lennar Reviews in San Diego, CA

Communication: seriously lacking. Examples: 1. We were first given mailbox Keys without clearly telling the mailbox. Later mailbox keys were rekeyed without notifications 2. Lot of confusion all around regarding solar activation with sdge, sunnova and Lennar pointing fingers at each other 3. Some service items took really long for resolution In the modern era where many home owners rely on security cameras, there are serious restrictions on adding cameras.

Closing and getting the keys took considerably longer than expected with Lennar mortgage

Junior has been the best thing about our experience with Lennar. Always helpful, available and prompt. Give that man a raise!!!

No mailbox 1.5 month after closing. Nearby construction still ongoing after closing caused security concern.

I feel like I was rushed into buying my second choice of the units since the release procedure was somewhat unexpected in terms of timing. Sometimes only a few hours before the Buyers response was needed to confirm. Eventually, my sales agent did give me a heads up on a unit that was available, but wasn’t my first choice, the reason I took it was your prices were going up every week. I guess The services and offers were much better in northern California compared to Southern California My friend got a house in El Dorado, California from LENNAR and her solar panels were paid. My mine were not the mortgage rates also Dropped couple of weeks following my closing Meaning, I ended up paying a higher rate on my unit ... More

The home has really some really good features, and some bad ones. The finishing isn't as good as it could be, and a lot of areas show that, especially the flooring. The drip irrigation installed was already broken the second day we moved in, and then a pipe burst a couple of weeks later. Have been in the home for about a month now, and have already submitted tickets. The best part is the responsiveness to the tickets. Diana and Moe have been a huge help.

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!

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.

issue fix very slow and not so responsible

We moved in just under 2-month, and have already found multiple issues related to the quality of workmanship.

This is our first home so I don't have much to compare the process too. Overall, the build is great. There were a few minor issues that did not get taken care of before we moved in.

The loan process was one of the longest I’ve ever done and this is my third home purchase. Even on the day we were supposed to close thing weren’t done and we had to call to find out we weren’t closing that day. My family moved out of our apartment and had to stay in hotels for a week waiting for everything to get sorted. Once we moved in we found issue that had been identified durning the walk through that were never addressed. We have had issue with our dryer and other products and the local rep is hard to get ahold of and the customer service reps don’t reply for day some times. Honestly not what I was expecting from this builder or a brand new home. ... More

We are happy with our new home but the quality it is in the lower end for a new build. Thy need to do a much better work during their internal QC process or selecting contractors. Found several issues after moving in and we eventually had to get an external inspector. Zero attention to detail. Still haven't found a single window frame that it is properly level in the house. Silver lining is that they provide a one year warranty and the customer service rep for my community is doing an excellent job helping us solving them.

The home was functional. There were quality control issues as with any new home, perhaps more-so in my case with plumbing. My issues were on on what you get for the price you pay for these homes is not the best quality, laminated cabinets that chip easily. Lennar forced a bid approach when the pandemic happened. While not unusual, this process was very clunky, and we saw huge delays in closing. Overall I was pleased with the people-aspect but not much else in the buying experience.

Disappointed with the responsiveness of Lennar representatives when we had an issue. Many times we had to call over & over again during the initial process & after closing. Love the Townhouse, but some of your representatives need to be more customer oriented, especially the supervisor of the design center who never returned any of my calls.

Always somebody else issue, sales made it sound so easy but no coordination between sales and outside vendors.even mortgage had similar issues.

Lennar process is smooth but the agent we worked was not helpful , she dont have information on the community and even after we asked her to check about specific issue(dog park existing ) she took a day and informed there is no such thing adjacent to our home. She even reported to management that we are delaying the process instead of her lack of information . We were trying to buy the property from Jan2024 (from first release) but she never responeded to any of our messages or call, even if she responds she was just saying no homes available for you now, at the end we changed the Agent and we could able to buy the property, Same happened to my colleague with same agent(i suggested to change the agent and now he is also in escrow). Whoever looking into the review , please makesure your agent are not biased and also have the enough information. ... More

The water heater is placed in the living room and there were two leaks and flooded my living room. This is a very bad design by Lennar. Not to mention the water heater makes loud noise and can be heard up stairs. Some of my neighbors have the same issues with the water heater.

We identified some workmanship issues and also noticed that some of the front yart plants were dead during the walk-through session. We were disappointed that the dead plants were not replaced as it was promised and some workmanship defects were not fixed.

Many issues with my house they have yet to fix. How can then sell a home with a broken items and let you move in? This is ridiculous

I've experienced nothing but issue after issue with the house. I'm averaging about two new issues per week ranging from Major appliances, flooring, cabinets, window coverings, HVAC, interior doors just to name a few.

They used to be very attentive but with the housing boom they have forgotten about their customers and how to treat people.

We are not first time home buyers. There are so many questions to be asked and make sure to get all those questions completely answered. The fees are very overwhelming and you need to understand all of it. We feel there has been broken down communications between subcontractors and Lennar. As homeowners it’s incredibly frustrating to purchase a new home, with no previous owners, and have many, many issues of improper and sub-level finishing of paint, kitchen cabinet, fan, shower, garage door, mirror and appliance issues. We all are paying crazy amounts of money to finish our homes and then have to deal with these problems. That’s $$ down the drain, added stress and ridiculous amount of time having to keep on others to get the jobs finished properly. It simply is not economically smart. If you do it right the first time, then it’s not an economic issue. But there have been way too many issues. First time home buyer’s don’t know or are afraid to say anything not knowing their investment will be problematic in resale if they do not get these issues fixed. I cannot say positively we will ever purchase another Lennar home. But we are upgrading already to make sure when we sell, there won’t be major issues to bring items up to standards that people /buyers demand. ... More

The upgrade options from the builder are very expensive!

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.
