Lennar Reviews in Lakeland Winter Haven, FL

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.

Bad and costly because of fees at closing

The financial and closing experiences were far below our expectations. The walk thru was done the week before closing and only a few of the issues were resolved before we moved in.

In the beginning Lennar was very helpful obviously trying to earn our business and sell us a house however after moving in all the trouble started. Poor workmanship in the house, getting issues resolved took weeks, it is sometimes impossible to get someone to help you schedule repairs. Community is poorly managed, Lennar literally sells to anyone community is heavy investor properties which has led to many issues with compliance. It was clear to us that Lennar only cares about making money. The support we received has been terrible since we moved in. The house has many problems clearly from the poor work and cheap materials used. Unfortunately I am not happy with my purchase with Lennar and would not recommend to family or friends. ... More

This is my 3rd new construction home and without a doubt it was the worst experience I’ve ever had. I spent a fortune on airline tickets (canceled flights, last minute rebooking, lost rental car, Uber) to get to the “blue tape walk through” to find my home without: a/c, water heater, toilets, countertops, broken windows…the list goes on. I was then pushed to close the following week in the hopes that it would be finished. I will say that the house APPEARED finished, but with crappy workmanship. For example: no power to lights in the entire front part of the house, frogs in my kitchen because they forgot bumpers on the sliding door, no water in the 2nd bathroom shower, again, the list goes on. It took awhile, but once I made contact with Paul Lacy he has worked diligently to make sure that all of the issues have been resolved to my satisfaction. He has even called us on Sundays to check on the status of repairs. However, the house FINALLY being completed almost 2 months after closing and the stress and frustration we endured was unacceptable and, if we had a crystal ball, probably would have gone with a different builder. ...

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...

Unfortunately this time around, buying lennar was not a legendary experience. Lots of delays, cancel inspection without prior notifications, final closing postponed x3-4 times. Too many Customer care representatives and no one up front to attend the customer concerns.. Do want to thank Mrs Oliveira from title/closing for her professionalism and Mr Mike McCarthy for his attention to detail.

Experience of buying a new home has brought me too many bad experiences to write a good review what was supposed to be a good experience quickly turned into a nightmare due to poor workmanship. Lack of service from Lennar home building team no one ever had answers and never kept promises as to when home was going to be completed issues never address properly

I was asked to close on the house that was not ready, i was told that everything would be fixed within a couple days however after two months the house is still not ready as multiple issues reminds unsolved and no one at Lennar homes will give me a straight answer or timeline.

Not a great overall experience. Our New home consultant Ainsley was amazing! Everyone/thing else has just not been great. Unorganized, a lot misinformation. This review is after 2 months living in the home and still dealing with issues.

Beautiful place - Amazing amenities.

Lennars sales personnel is great. Unfortunately that's where it ends. It must be the material and labor shortage because the workmanship leaves a lot to be desired we have been in this house for nearly two months now and are still waiting for the work to be completed.(front door and frame along with all the closet doors and cabinets has to be replaced inside the house has to be repainted)I hope this is not the Lennars MO if it is I believe your reputation will suffer

Overall good experience due to all this Covid situation.

The experience in the purchase with the sales team was good, friendly and easy, but the defects and problems inside the house due to the poor finish was very bad, we arrived a month and 20 days from the closing and we still have many unsolved problems , I thought that buying from a company like Lennar with such prestige in the market we were going to be fine, but it was not like that

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.

We had a great experience buying the property, we had support all the time. Actually this is our second property that we buy to Lennar.

I do not think that I can be fair enough to complete this survey at this point and time until my complaints have been resolved.

LANNAR IS THE BEST ...

Very bad experience, I have called and even went to the office and no response with the things that need fixing, and we are still waiting for someone to respond to us. Many things needed to fix on the first walk through. Still waiting for it to be fix. And now we have other things to get fix, No response at all. I would not want anyone to go through this.

When we first looked at the home we noticed that there was a large crack in the driveway concrete. When we showed up for the walk through the cracked concrete was replaced with new concrete which is a complete different color from the original. Crazy thing is they only needed to replace one section (1/6) and they did 2/3 of the driveway so now the driveway looks like a patch up job. Lennar DECLINED my request to fix the problem stating that they are not responsible if there is any staining or discoloration of the concrete driveway!!! I can not believe that LENNAR would allow this patchwork driveway to be something visible to potential buyers in the community!! Someone in the corporate office needs to see this and correct the house of many colored concrete. Driveway/sidewalks/entry all have a different color concrete not to mention the footprints and dried concrete drippings on the surface. I would like to also mention that there is concrete blown on my house from the construction company when they blew concrete onto the houses on both sides. No one has even tried to clean up the mess. I would NOT recommend LENNAR homes to any of my family or friends nor people who drive by and ask about buying here!!! Very unsatisfied with LENNAR ... More

The experience was not good and that’s being kind. The mortgage person had no idea what was going on. The setup of the first 3 homes upon moving in left use not knowing who any of the utilities where going to be we had to figure it out ourselves. 2 month later we where able to get internet but are still waiting for mailbox’s. And the craftsmanship shows that everything was just slapped together as fast as possible and getting someone to fix the issues was a waste of time I have done most of what I asked to be done myself. And the house was filthy for buying a brand new home.

Hello. I would equate my buying experience with Lennar to be average. Closing was delayed multiple times due to obvious supply chain issues. Communication was above average but the attention to detail in the construction of my home was lacking. Cleanliness was a problem and Multiple punch list issues were recorded AFTER my closing with no clear direction on how they would be addressed. I am not local so email or phone calls are critical in understanding issues going on with our home purchase. Setting up utilities took some figuring out. Would be nice to have a welcome aboard packet for new home buyers to outline everything we need to be aware of when purchasing with Lennar and ChampionsGate gate community. ... More

Everything went as planned, there was pandemic and staff turnover, we were happy with all how it went

House was poorly built. Takes forever to get anything fixed or taken care of.

I would never recommend this builder to anyone because they sacrifice quality for quantity. I’ve never experienced anything like I have with Lennar. It’s sad that no one even seems to care.
