Lennar Reviews in Daytona Beach, FL

The process from the start to finish was seamless.

For the type of money that I paid for this home, the company should install cabinets with handles. Especially to keep a modern look

I am recommending already Lennar to all my friends that have in mind to buy a house. Lennar is a serious professional business that have all the personal staff well trained to make the process fast and with costumer satisfaction in first place. Loved my house fully loaded with all my appliances. I took 24 days since I pick the house I like to the closing date. Loved.

I will never apply for a lennar home or affiliate again...bate and switch, bunch of liars.

My realtor with Lennar Rob was incredibly dedicated. He stayed up late and went through every community to find me a home. However, after Rob left, things became subpar and stressful. As a first-time homebuyer, I thought going with one of the largest builders would make the process seamless. I assumed they would have everything figured out. There was a severe lack of communication. I work a demanding job and would receive emails in the middle of the night, telling me I had 24 hours to sign 30 pages. There was no communication about the next steps. I expected a timeline or a one-pager outlining what to expect, which documents would come my way, but I received none. Reaching the finance guy was like finding a needle in a haystack. I was disappointed. When I moved in, I noticed that things weren’t done to the highest standard. They even tried to hide the mistakes they made. My windows had gaps, allowing cold air to enter, and my walls had to be ripped open. The washer they installed cracked the pipes inside, and I mentioned this before closing, but they claimed they fixed it and didn’t. I had a long and frustrating process with the warranty until it was proven that they broke it and then they replaced it. I was confused about my payments. I reached out to the finance guy, but it’s been a month, and he still hasn’t responded. I had to get my island replaced because they chipped the first one and still chose to install it. My master shower doesn’t have a shelf they did the bare minimum with these homes. I mentioned the backyard during closing, and now I have large gaps where someone can trip between the sod. They did a terrible job. You would think that given the amount I paid compared to how much they spent on the actual construction of the home, they would have done things in order. I still have tiles that need to be replaced, and the backyard needs to be fixed. I am disappointed. Unfortunately, my experience with Lennar was not great. They took away my happiness. When it was time to close, I was exhausted mentally and emotionally. I wasn’t even excited about buying my first home. Lennar needs to hire consultants and undergo a complete revamp. Any company that wants to remain on top should always be seeking improvements. It’s time they did. The best experience I’ve had thus far is with Lindsay from customer service. She has been rectifying all the wrongs. If they hired more Robs and Lindsays, this company would be a better place. ... More

The home my wife and I purchased we absolutely love. It is definitely a great value and a lot thought and intention went behind the design. Solid materials are used and the only critique about the property itself would be the low quality interior paint, definetely recommend repainting the interior to a scuff resistant paint. However, the home buying process was very hectic. To get the best deal we had to sign all the contract paperwork in less than 36 hours and some of the paperwork wasn't received until a few hours before the deadline. Additionally, since Lennar is such a big company the left hand didn't seem to know what the right was doing. We were told to speak to one person for updates and then forwarded to another person. We would seek simple information and not receive an answer for a few weeks. Some questions didnt get answered until a few days before closing. To get all the closing credits from Lennar we also had only 30 days to close which made everything really hectic. The 30 days wouldn't have been as bad if we received prompt responses and were better guided through the process. On our closing day we came back to the home for the first time to see someone had left poop in one of our bathrooms. We reported it and were immediately contacted by management who did apologize and advise that the matter was being investigated. However it left a sour taste in our mouths in what was supposed to be a joyous day. ... More

Lennar's motto is "Everything is included" I just got done buying 6,500 dollar gutters, and 1000 dollars worth of ceiling fans because they didn't bother putting either of those in the home. A 16 dollar light in the bedrooms would have given us light, but they wanted to save money. Pavers without polymeric sand? just set them on the ground and leave huge gaps. I don't have working street lights on the entire street I live on. The backyard is nothing but weeds with no sprinklers, the HOA is oppressive with rules you can't imagine. if you want to feel like you are living in a town house but you have a tiny patch of grass you have to mow for the HOA, this is the home for you. There are two ways in, and insufficient parking, so every day I have to navigate past narrow rows of cars on either side of the road, Years ago, people would never have accepted shoddy houses with insufficient parking and 2 feet of yard on either side, but everything got worse. I was a sucker, don't be a sucker. The regret is so strong that everyday I wake up angry - did I mention, I wake up to the horn of a train? Oh yeah, Rivington, everyone can hear the trains, and they run every 30 minutes from 5am until late at night. ... More

Excellent services with all the process we are so happy with them

I had a great experience buying a new Lennar home. I appreciate that when issues did come up they were quick to be addressed. Everyone at the Rivington development went above and beyond when needed to ensure my family was well taken care of. I would definitely purchase another Lennar home.

Beautiful house at reasonable price. LENNAR team was responsive and accommodating. The loan officer Gene, was professional, attentive and kind. Through the closing process he was patient and kind and this was extremely important and made the process less stressful. Very happy for my purchase. One important thing is that I would have like to received more clarity on the HOA - they are not as responsive.

Samantha with Lennar mortgage was rude. I hated my home buying experience with Lennar. You guys were available on Easter Sunday, a holiday to coerce me into purchasing this home. Then when the deal went through, you could not hear or find them. Calls went unanswered. I remember moving day, my Keys won’t work for the door. I called everyone I could’ve think on for help. They did not offer no help. I had to pay a locksmith and did NOT receive my full compensation. I’m very disappointed in them. I had to get 4 new tires because the nails from the builders next to my house got in my tires. No worries I won’t ask Lennar to compensate me for that. I’m not at all happy with my home buying experience from Lennar and won’t recommend them to anyone. Go somewhere else if you have to. My mailbox keys were sitting in the office all the time while I waiting for the post office to reach out to me. They never called and told me anything. Lennar want you to hurry up and purchase and then when the deal is done, they scatter like roaches when the light comes on . FACTS!!! ... More

2nd home purchased at Oak Hammock in DeLand. Great deal on the house, great salesperson (once again, Madison Schuster comes through) and the closing process was smooth (thank you Kristen Koener). House was professionally inspected pre-close and our inspector remarked how well built the house was. We may just buy one or two others there!

We were looking for a winter home in FL near family and Lennar homes was a good investment for our purposes. We also got a very nice house for a great price. We are still moving into the house but all seems to be very good so far.

It was quick and professional

A lot of trouble with the paperwork at first, but after that things went very smoothly

One month into ownership and this couldnt be going worse. Every other day there is something new that is going wrong. The grading on the yard is absolutely horrible and everyone is pointing the finger at something else. This is AWFUL and I am beyond disgusted with the way Lennar is handling this. I have standing water in my yard constantly, it smells awful and I cannot mow my grass.

Just a amazing experience all around

Beautiful home that meets the needs of our multi-gen family. Great locations and planned community

Decided to purchase an investment property in Florida and settled on Oak Hammock in DeLand. Our salesperson (Madison) was great with offering us up a deal we couldn't refuse, and Lennar overall offered up a quick and (mostly) seamless 3-week cash close which we were happy about. Their closer, Kristen, was very on top of things up until the close. Closing process was quick and trouble-free and very much appreciated. As far as "issues", they were relatively minor, however, unresolved issues have taken the shine off the overall experience. The keys to the house were sent to another development by mistake. Not that big of a deal. We were told to have the locks changed and they would reimburse. I paid our property manager less than $100 to have this done, which I believe was a very good deal. Six weeks after submitting the receipt to Kristen and several follow-up emails later, I've given up, so I'll just take the loss on that. It's simply not worth my time to chase this. Similar issue with the garage door opener: Only one of the two openers worked. Again, not the biggest issue but we were told they'd replace it. Six weeks later, I've given up on that as well and purchased a universal remote for about $20. Again, it's not about the money but it's rather baffling to get nickel and dimed over less than $120, after paying them over $300k cash and, again, it's simply not worth my time to chase this. The house itself is fine- Mostly cosmetic issues from sloppy work, but that's pretty common with any builder (this was my 6th new construction purchase). One thing they failed to remedy was the sliding glass door lock not locking the door. Thankfully, our (new) renter repaired himself, so at least that didn't cost me more money. Bottom line, we're satisfied with the deal and the house itself, it's the after-close issues which move this from a 5-star experience to 3-star. Would we do business with Lennar again? Yes, if the deal is right. I'd also come to expect little nitpicky issues to arise and understand they're not going to take care of things that should be easy fixes. My main concern would be if a big issue arises. If they don't take care of the minor stuff, one has to wonder what'll happen if it's a large cost fix. I would simply have to hope the house inspector we hire (as we do for every property we buy) will catch it and we don't close until repaired. Unfortunately, I completed Lennar's internal survey before it became clear they were not going to reimburse me for the above items. I really thought it would not be a big deal to get reimbursed. So my fault on that. Next time (if there is one), I'll wait until everything is resolved to my satisfaction before completing a survey. ... More

Extremely excellent customer service. Quality builds and top of service. Would buy again!

House is built cheap-I had to epoxy garage floor because lennar won’t fix it-that cost ME $2500-and the air conditioner-heater is not proper size for this size house-it’s not big enough- and that was documented by house inspector!floor tiles have lots of chips etc.etc

Poor design. How can you build a house facing the water with the minimal view

Although Lennar is not a bad builder and i love the home the home buying process was poor. There were five different people I was to communicate with and it was confusing the purpose of each persons job. When I explained this they were not helpful and did not improve the process. Just said “you can call any of us.” But the truth was each person had a different job. Very confusing and frustrating. Once home was moved into and warranty issues were submitted many times the things I put in for couldn’t be fixed. Frustrating as a homeowner. Things that could have been told up front to avoid confusion and frustration and proper expectations would have been appropriate. ... More

We did the walk through and issues that were noticed were marked with blue tape , when we closed on the house all those tags were gone , Great , but when we took a closer look we noticed the only thing that had been done was the tags were removed, the ceiling in our garage started to leak almost immediately after we closed on the house , I was the construction business in New York so I have some experience, I got one of my ladders to have a look at the damage and noticed that the leak was there long before we closed the sale, individuals had attempted to fix it but it was like a bandaid , they knew that there was a leak but all that was wanted was to close the sale and warranty would come back out and fix it, after 3 attempts, Our house was the last property in the neighborhood and all trades had left so no one was in charge and we were left to deal with the repairs, ...
