Lennar Reviews in Lakeland Winter Haven, FL

You have a very good product, but the customer experience has been worse than terrible. You have demonstrated no interest at all in the concerns and challenges that your clients might have and you expect all flexibility to change things on your side, but are not willing to give any flexibility to your client.

House hasn't finished yet, but closing costs were payed in december.

Lennar builds a structurally sound home. The quality of workmanship and materials for what you pay is TERRIBLE. They build the home and you will spend months getting warranty work done. They have been great to repair what we find. The problem is you have to find it to get it fixed. The rates with their mortgage company and fee are more expensive than outside. The solar through them is a lot more costly than if you went outside of Lennar. Most builders will have certain companies as preferred lenders, solar, etc but Lennar uses its own subsidiaries and YOU PAY THE PRICE!

This was the worst home buying experience ever! From the beginning to the end! Lennar has gone from using decent materials to the cheapest materials they can find! The grass had to be replaced and that was a hassle to get done, the garage floor edge broke and we told nothing can be done, the landscaping is terrible. The tress were put in incorrect and they refused to fix them and now they are broken. We are being told it’s our responsibility to get them fix! They don’t even put up towel racks or toilet paper holders. I can go and on but I think you get the jist ! We definitely should of gone with a different builder! ... More

I've purchased three houses in my lifetime, but none of the experiences compare to the terrible service provided by Lennar. Starting with the sales team, they are excessively pushy and pressure you into making impulsive decisions. They employ scare tactics and provide misleading information about the property. I strongly advise against making impulsive decisions and recommend thoroughly checking all sales information before making a purchase. Additionally, the sales team will email you the contract but fail to go through it with you to explain any details. The lender team also significantly increases charges without bringing them to your attention. It seems as though they are aware that most buyers don't understand their confusing C2C statements and won't spend much time questioning them. Even if you manage to catch discrepancies by comparing C2C statements with those of other Lennar home buyers, they will attempt to distract you with mind games. I recommend hiring a lawyer or an educated individual who understands closings well to validate their charges. For example, the HOA contribution fee was stated as $100 in the flyer and contract, but they charged me $1050 in the C2C estimate. It's essential to check the loan rate lock, as they may still impose a delay fee on you if home delivery is late due to internal construction issues. There are countless issues you will encounter with the team, and it's incredibly frustrating. While their home quality is good (which is why I bought three houses from them), I had my lawyer help me validate the details for the second and third houses. I strongly urge you to validate all information with an expert. Doing so will save you from numerous headaches and thousands of dollars. ... More

Workmanship is absolutely not known by contractors finish details are ignored the whole experience has been a nightm

Other home buyers should be welcomed by a properly trained manager able to assess and answer the multiple issues that normally arises in the process of buying a new property. This manager should shield the buyer from everyone of the Lennar employees that have little to no training on how to deal with Customers. I suggest to start training Mr Jaime from the Closing Coordination.

The issues started as soon as I closed, faulty main door (not locking nor closing), missing components inside the house, missing cabinets, food left in the fridge by the crew, there about 18 items still not completed by Lennar. And of course the promised of reimbursing for my expenses for the faulty main door was 6 weeks the estimated amount to get the money back and of course, nothing.

Need urgently fix the response service and the level of communication with the buyers My house deed documents were send by a normal mail instead of a proper courier company like DHL,FEDEX Which caused documents to get lost , I was never asked whether how or when will the documents be sent , no communication whatsoever , this is just one example of lack of communication with the buyer and there are many more …

The sellers dont work

The people from Lennar promised me if I close the house they fix all the problems in the house in one week I did the closing and then start my nightmare to this guy’s . Do your job.

The sales people don’t know how do the job warranty people worst

This is our third property we have purchased, and it is our first with Lennar. We used Lennar title and Lennar mortgage hoping the process would be seamless as they are all connected. This was the worst home buying experience we have ever had. A ton of miscommunication and mistakes were made, and just a lack of ownership from all Lennar companies. They do not care about anything other than getting your money. They could not care less if the process goes smoothly, correctly or if you are satisfied. They only care about closing the deal and getting your money. And to top it off, on closing day our house was filthy! It had never even been cleaned! Would never use them again for anything and would not recommend. ... More

I’m still waiting for repairs to be completed from my closing over four months ago. In addition I’m in the middle of fighting tooth and nail to get someone out to repair a roof leak that has caused extensive water damage and now black mold which has rendered three rooms in my house unable to be used. My kids are crammed into other rooms now. I’ve documented everything and even called management multiple times with now follow up. The entire process has been horrendous as a first time home buyer.

When I first came to look at a home. My realtor told me the house was white and it ended up being purple during my walk through. Also workers used my bathroom and left me a present and the house was not cleaned when given to me. Worst experience ever.

Bad builder bad comunication Bad material Bad representatives Bad.

Two months after my closing, I haven't received my keys yet. Nobody from Lennar is capable of giving me a straight answer. I don't get why you rush the closing like crazy if you are not ready to provide me with my keys. Really disappointed at the level of service provided by Lennar. It's like there is no management at all in this company. Nobody takes any responsibility.

My home buying experience was horrible. It started from the salesman to the loan officer. They lacked customer service skills, respect, and information. For all the trouble I went thru to purchase my home, in the end it was not worth it. So many defiencies, lack of workmanship, and the lack of responsibility. I would not recommend Lennar to anyone. I wish I would have done my homework beforehand.

I just bought a property at lennar at Lakeland. This is the worst experience I have ever have. They took 2 months to install the motorway and shelves. The ceiling over the island kitchen is already leaking. There is water from the ceiling and leaking over the island kitchen. 2 months.

The home was poorly finished. Lennar massively delayed completion, cut corners on construction quality to try to force completion, and skimped on promised appliances and fixtures. I am repeat buyer from Lennar, but my experience was so poor this time that I will not buy another home from Lennar and advice friends against it as well.

I buying a Lennar home was a dream come true, until it became a nightmare. The quality of the materials use is more than poor, so is the workmanship. Tiles are uneven, frames are bad, house feels weak, carpet and floors are not set properly. House was never prepare or clean as promise, defective electrical appliances. Overall a very bad experience, that I wish I could get out off...

Not very happy with the experience overall.

The workmanship and the construction manager was horrible. He was very rude and disrespectful. It felt like our home got started and then forgotten. When we went for our walk through we had 15 or so pages of repairs, the day before we were to close they were still not completed and we were told we were not going to be able to close. We had already given notice, rented a truck and everything; we proceeded to close while they were still working in our home that day. Even after that we have had to complete many warranty issues.This was the worst experience.

Quality is so bad that toilet needs a change, sink needs a change and irrigation needs a change.

This company is focused on just pushing numbers out the door rather than customer satisfaction. The overall experience has been very disappointing as I'm still waiting for my home to be completed as we approach 2 months after the date of closing. I was offered an incentive to close on the original closing date (didn't really have a choice) and told the house would be ready within 30 days. We are nowhere close to being ready and the unresponsiveness from low level staff that are responsible for just booking walk throughs, to the sales teams, and even high level executives has been telling (I got desperate and attempted to reach out to regional presidents to try and escalate things without any luck). I would 100% never recommend purchasing from this builder and really feel as though I made a mistake myself in doing so. FYI the home I purchases was in Orlando. ... More
