Lennar Reviews in Fort Myers, FL

This is our second and last lennar home. The Constructon quality has gone down from the drywall finish, paint, trim ect. Every punch item is pushed back and you fight to get every repair done. We are not happy with any part of this long process.

It was 14 month of screw ups and problems. Being told things that would or will never happen. Very frustrating and expensive for us to find a place to live for all the months. When I called to complain about the length of time it was taking I was told very sarcastically that I should read the contract and they have 2 years to build the house. It was screw up after screw up until Rob took over as superintendent. I would never ever recommend Lennar to anyone

We had a miserable final walk-thru and we should not have closed without the issues being addressed. Quality of workmanship leaves a-lot to be desired. However, Nick the service rep addressed all of the issues in a timely manner and we are happy with our home.

The sales rep and other staff members that I worked with including the mortgage staff, were all great and very helpful - They were the best thing about buying here. Unfortunately, my experience was not what I expected. My move in date was 2 months later than I was told which was very disruptive for me and my family to say the least. There were numerous issues when I moved in regarding the workmanship and materials, and I continue to find small things. I contacted the rep who has been very helpful regarding a concern with a hinge on one of the kitchen cabinets and he said he would stop by but he got busy so I reached out a couple of days later and he said we don't usually guarantee the cabinets after 30 - 60 days (when I called I had owned this villa for 6 weeks) he did say he would put a ticket in to have it addressed and he did submit that - I haven't heard from anyone regarding that yet but I am hopeful that this will be taken care of. Yesterday I had the exterminator return because I found a couple of bugs and he said the gap in the weather stripping around my front door is where bugs can get in. I left a text for the customer service rep regarding this but haven't heard back yet. As I said he has been great and very responsive, but we all have a boss, and I think the issues are at the top of leadership in this organization. I have a one-year warranty and will be hiring a building inspector as my one-year anniversary gets closer. I would not be comfortable recommending this builder. ... More

Expensive for the quality of workmanship

Shortly after move in we discovered that our master shower had two shower heads installed too close together to be useful. Reported to customer care and they admitted it was a mistake but refused to move the misplaced shower head. Went up the chain with no success. Then our sales rep got involved, and eventually emailed us that Lennar would correct the mistake. On contacting him to find out when the work would be scheduled we were advised that Lennar had changed their minds and were again refusing to correct their mistake. No reason given, just a solid refusal. I asked Michelle Tucker (sales rep’s boss to come and take a look and explain why she was refusing repair, but never got any further communication. Worst experience we’ve ever had with any of the 10 new homes we have bought over the years from various builders. DO NOT TRUST LENNAR TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!! ... More

Get everything Lennar promises to you in writing.

Community is great, home layout is great. Really disappointed with the cleanliness and the actual process of a home being completed at closing. It appears that the home quality does not matter as long as there is a CO. The rest we can pass off to warranty. If there were some simple checks and balances in place where someone actually went through the homes prior and completed the items. I’m a real estate agent and can say Lennar walkthru’s are by far the most difficult and I am trying to explain to my clients why their home is not actually completed but don’t worry someone will come along later to finish up all the loose ends. It is such a great feeling for people to do a final walkthru when some attention to detail has been made. ... More

Concrete work is terrible. Promise to be complete at closing was not kept. The house was very dirty. Overall, not up to Lennar standards that we experienced at Lennar in Castalina. What’s happening with your quality control.

I was very excited when I came to the development and chose to purchase a new home. In the beginning everything moved very quickly. Then it stalled. No updates, rare interaction when I reached out first. My closing date was pushed a few times, which I understand is to be expected - but I would have preferred honesty over BS. Closing day I couldn't move in because there was no occupancy permit. I have been living in the house 7 weeks now and I still don't have a refrigerator in my kitchen because the hole left was too small and it has taken this long to be corrected (still not corrected). Still no updates. Once I have an offer on the house I apparently went to the bottom of the importance list. ... More

Just want to sell you the house. Poor response to quality issues

Many issues from the time we moved in. Poor quality all around the home. Many things needed to be replaced right away. Would not recommend or buy another lennar home after this.

Sales person was outstanding. Construction manager was the big down fall. Would not fix what was promised.

The mortgage and sales end was totally unprofessional and inept. Lennar is in serious trouble once this market settles down. Still waiting on punch list items after two months with little to no communication. Would never seek out a Lennar home again.

The customer service from Lennar and the vendors is poor. Waiting for weeks and months for simple fixes and repairs is ridiculous. The follow up from the builder to individual contractors is non existent to very poor. The homes are being closed before they are ready. So many of the issues we and our neighbors have addressed should have been taken care of before closing. We can only hope the the overall quality of the home is good and that we won’t be facing issues for years to come. Also why isn’t the second phase of the amenities completed let alone started. We have been hearing for over 2 years that it will be ready in a year. Here we are in year three of this development and it is not even started. ... More

Third time’s a charm. If we hadn’t a realtor keeping us updated with weekly videos, we would have wasted two trips to Florida. The closing department and your contract ( I understand ) leaves little room for the customer. Our first closing walk through had no roof tiles delivered / installed, no brick pavers front and back, unfinished kitchen, no refrigerator, unfinished bathrooms, pool and of course no landscaping. After the second request date for a walk through and closing, things still not finished, we simply said we’re not coming till you complete the house. This was on a Friday, the closing dept. said let’s see what gets done over the weekend before we call it off. We repeated “we’re not coming 1250 miles to find this mess of a house. Total time from 1st walk through date of mid June to mid August ( 3rd walkthrough date) when our home was mostly completed, we drove from Michigan. My advice to your company, pay attention to your boots on the ground floor not your management in there office trying to shove unfinished homes down the throats of customers when obviously not ready. Check for yourselves, ... More

During the entire buying and building process communications from Lennar were non existent. Lack of choices in building upgrades. Lennar cut most all extra's including lighting, Very poor excuse for a custom builder. "Everything included" is a joke!

I am a first-time home builder and was not sure what to expect. I was always told that Lennar was a great company, but my experience here certainly hasn't reflected that. No one who pays what we pay for on these homes should be forced to put in warranty tickets on damaged or substandard materials in a brand-new home and then wait months for replacements or repairs.

If at all possible do not closing at end of fiscal year. Things were too rushed and done so poorly. Would consider not using Lennar again if we had other options.

The concept is good but the poor quality and poor responsiveness of the construction crew is frustrating. I have I have been in the house for approximately 4 months and still need work done.

The house is beautiful, but I have to place about 10 service request to fix different kind of issues like drywall holes in the bathroom, celling and others areas, electrical connections, stucco issues around the house, paint issues inside and outside of the house, cabinets, celling, about 30 broken paver’s. The inside house are very dirt. When we do the walk trough one week before closing Lennar bring me promise to fix the issues before they bring me the house and nothing happens I have to place the service request because they don’t do anything.

Beginning with so much promises and still waiting for them to be fulfilled. So much stuff that is not done ✅ correctly done without care nor Quality there’s some stuff so bad that are already falling apart and we haven’t even being in the home for 5 months, starting from bad finishing job on cabinets, walls with horrible cracks, caulking and pain horribly done throughout the home, ships in shower bath floor. There’s lots of things that could being done right the first time before is given to the homeowner and run a right and good inspection, so Quality of products and workmanship they use is horrible very poor, inexperience who do not care about providing decent quality or good quality; horrible job in lots of stuff that every homeowner expects to be good quality. Builder claims top Quality, best and biggest throughout the US, but after this they prove otherwise very poor customer service, horrible materials and workmanship “very poor quality, ” Home not turn in or given to standard. ...

It has not been a good experience. Prior to moving many issues were noted during walkthrough and not fixed. Over a month since I moved in and still complaining about things and some yet to be fixed

We moved hoping to have a peaceful retirement home. While our Salesperson was very knowledgeable and did her best with purchasing, Construction was terrible. Our cabinets were installed crooked, cracked, broken due to lack of skill which caused our Stone to be unlevel. Our hood vent never showed up so they borrowed one from a different model that didn't fit. Our light fixtures were cracked and broken along with our bathroom mirror and we had a broken window for 4 months. Our Ring Doorbell was installed broken, our Pentair Motherboard for our pool was installed broken, our AC condensor fan was installed broken, our garage doors were crooked and wouldn't close or lock, our tree in front yard was planted with broken support and leaning, we had a hole in our lanai. Our construction mgr Tim was suppose to handle alot of these items but he lied, didn't return phone calls, and avoided us. We've been in our house 2 months and still have unresolved issues. I will say Warranty is the only thing that's keeping us SANE ! ... More

The worst home purchase I’ve ever had(2 previous). Went to walk through and there were numerous issues with the home. Was told that if I don’t close once they received the certificate of occupancy I would lose my deposit. It been almost 2 months since I’ve closed and there is still incomplete work. Too much back and forth with their subs.
