Lennar Reviews in Fort Collins Loveland, CO

Krista was amazing at selling us what seemed like our dream home. The showing process made the homes at Lennar Johnstown Farms look amazing. Come time to move in and we had issues with title, with mortgage and with the construction of the house. Tolerating everything up to getting the keys was easy to do because we had excitement for what was to come. We made it to the house where things that needed to be fixed, were not. There was paint splatter all over the house on the inside and on the out. Appliances were changed without our knowledge. Overall I think the sales team sold exactly what they were supposed to but the construction team failed to meet expectations. ... More

The buying process (excluding financing thru Lennar Finance) was smooth. I come from a residential construction background so I understand the challenges and tolerable "acceptance". The biggest disappointment was the cleanliness of the home at turnover. The garage and basement were absolutely filthy. It looked like a rough clean. The basement was powerwashed, but it looked like they turned on the power washer for about 30 seconds and then shut it off. The main finished space had paint and drywall dust around every single corner of the house as if the cleaners made no attempt.

Having problems with incomplete exterior painting. The interior painting was okay except for massive over spray onto the appliances from painting the cabinets. The sink was chipped and was to be replaced or fixed-that was never done. The sprinkler system is confusing and hard to check if it is working. Hoping that there will not be a lot of problems with the a/c since it has been to cold to use it. The garage door seals were improperly installed and were never fixed. The screen was to be replaced due to concrete being smeared on it and that was never done. Exterior grading was not done. Don't know if these quality control issues are normal with new builds. ...

I could not be more discusted with the entire process. NEVER use Lennar Mortgage, they only complicated the lending process and make it harder. The construction is definitely subpar, 3 electrical issues that are 100% the same but they can't seem to solve the problem any longer then temporary, paint on the walls could but have been applied any thinner, door knobs and strike plates coming off after 2 months, cracked concrete driveway before we moved in and The stupidity of the construction manager looks at me and says there's no problem. I would NOT ever purchase another Lennar home and I'm already looking forward to leaving this one. The WORST home owning/purchase of my life ... More

This is our 2nd Lennar new home. We bought our first one in North Carolina and the quality, responsiveness to issues and workmanship was excellent. Thus, moving to Colorado we decided to go with Lennar again. Starting with our closing walk through (late by 45 minutes painting and caulking) to today, 3 months later. We still have unresolved issues, taking days off from work to meet contractors that no show, and vendors (HVAC) that don't return calls. Overall, this has been a pretty disappointing experience. But, from other people I have spoken to that bought from other builders and Lennar, they are experiencing the same lack of quality and follow up. We just chalk it up to a sign of the times...how sad! ... More

This review is meant to be a level-headed review for future potential buyers. I will say that the sales staff is amazing and very attentative! I have no issues with the sales team at all. My issue is based on the craftsmanship and the warranty department. CRAFTSMANSHIP: Okay so the structural is good and solid. They use 2x6 boards and did a good job. The issue lies within the finishing touches. Crappy concrete job done right before rain so it is very rough. Bad concrete cuts and major cracks already showing. The boards all around the house had Knicks and poor cuts. The inside of the home has bad cut outs for all sorts of stuff and looks like they just didn't care. Bangs and cracks in the doors, failure to paint items, bad cutouts and just a general feeling that they rushed everything and didn't care. If you buy, CHECK EVERYTHING. Do your walk through for as long as you need. They will pressure you to be done. Don't, take your time and find everything can before you have to deal with warranty. WARRANTY: Okay now the really bad news. Lennars warranty is nothing short of a joke. The representative for Johnstown farms couldn't be more useless. She will not be helpful and have an excuse for everything. BE WARNED. She is not there to help you. I can't believe Lennar wants to put their name on this and has such terrible warranty service. Also, get an independent inspector to help you identify issues. This will help your case when you inevitably have to deal with her. FINAL THOUGHTS: I will say structural is good, sales is great, but I will probably never buy another Lennar home. The warranty service mixed with the bad final craftsmanship is just not the home buying experience you're looking for when spending near half a million $ on a home. Look elsewhere. ... More

Have to constantly badger customer care to get an issue resolved. A poor job was done to correct it as well. Sales and loan officers were great. Construction manager and care reps were terrible.

Lennar builds decent homes with functional floor plans, but they have no scruples and will keep on smiling while they ignore any request you make and any obligation they have to create decent communities. Their sales agents were unhelpful and unresponsive, their main office staff were rude, and they sold the houses on BOTH sides of me to an investor who’s now rented one to people who are violating our city occupancy limits. The tenants have five cars parked up and down the block, and trash in the front yard. The house on the other side of me sits empty and abandoned, but honestly that’s better than the alternative. It’s sad to think that in a neighborhood where houses cost from the high $500s to the mid $700s, Lennar cares so little about what happens once they pull out and move on. They’re the very definition of a slick self-serving corporation. My region is high-growth with skyrocketing home prices and very low inventory, so when we wanted to downsize we had few options, but if I had to do it again, I’d definitely buy from the other builder in the neighborhood who is local, and skip corporate, faceless Lennar. ...

Highly recommend being involved throughout the build, any corner to be cut will be cut by builder. Shady operation with lowest quality materials, paint, cabinets, flooring etc. Expect to be stone walled. Highly recommend hiring an inspector before closing. They will not let you on the roof to inspect roofing until after closing and this is a no drone zone. Meet the builder was halfway decent with Brian although orientation and final walk through was unpleasant. Fixed that were made were done cheaply and unprofessional, chipped cabinets especially. Warranty representative (Mitch) was especially rude, inexperienced, unknowledgeable, acted like he knew things that he didn’t, had brash sense of humor, unfriendly, was speaking over people especially buyers, brushing things off as no big deal, and had no accountability. Mitch should be relieved of his job. There are other things that are still lacking attention and we hesitate to address these items due to not wanting to deal with Mitch specifically. I could make a long list about issues with the home, but at this point I’m tired of the battle. ... More

Complete nightmare. From finance to HOA to builder response. We will tell all to never buy lennar

The first wind storm the shingles are flying off the roof. The refrigerator that came with the house has a box cutter gash down the handle two big scratches on the left side on the right side. It doesn’t make ice and it sounds like it’s a car parked outside of my house all night. Lenar says they are not responsible and Frigidaire says they’re not responsible. The house came with ring security system. All of it installed upside down on every door. The window coverings put up very poorly. Someone can see in my bathroom window easily. The garage door has a dent and it does not lock.Sad
