Lennar Reviews in Lakeland Winter Haven, FL

Lennar is too big and has lost sight of the customer. Homebuying processes were very difficult to navigate and communication from Lennar departments was seriously lacking and very frustrating. Pre-close walk-thru was very rushed and buyers are threatened if talk of delaying closing occurs...even when the home is not complete. Quality/workmanship is seriously lacking and below anything I've ever experienced; door-frames are not square (binding doors), cabinet doors are not straight/aligned, appliances don't work, and several other issues). I would never recommend a Lennar home to anyone and will purchase my next new-construction home from anyone but Lennar. ... More

Home wasn’t ready when promised. Allowed to close without CO. Had to go to hotel. Oven didn’t fit. No kitchen for 3 weeks. Cabinets broken. House was dirty. Floor wasn’t laid level. Bumps and hills throughout. Hollow tiles throughout. Upstairs creeks. Grout not straight and spilled throughout the home. Doors not level. Stairs rails not secured. Grout accidentally used in stead of caulking. Made promises to have things done but almost 8 weeks and punch list still not done. Not even paint. Trades make appointments but never show. If we could get our money back we would move out. No one is happy in our neighborhood. Workmanship is laughable. Trades have stated they are pushed too hard and cant do quality work. NIGHTMARE. ...

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 closed on my home and a couple months later, several repairs have not been taken care of despite multiple communication with various staff who basically bounce you around.

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

So much wrong with our new build it is crazy and after speaking with neighbors in the community several others are having similar issues with the quality of work and issues on their homes. Had I known I would have never bought with Lennar and will not buy a home in future from this builder nor recommend them. Our home was also delayed a month on closing and issues we wanted fixed still were not done and more issues were found upon moving in. Towel wall rack fell out of the wall, tile in bathroom needs to be redone in shower, insulation left out of walls upstairs, baseboards and trim cut too short, not caulked properly, closet doors damaged, sliding doors uneven to patio area and rain leaks into the door, stairs had a gap and had to be fixed, window marble was broken off, landscaping dead and uneven in backyard can’t put a fence up until it is made level, tile in dining room uneven and needs to be fixed, kitchen cabinets were diff than what we saw in the riverview area, cabinet handles uneven and doors discolored, the vent was sealed shut to our dryer on outside of home so it was heating up like it was going to catch fire and had to be fixed, doors damaged, driveway area damaged, garage doors has several spacing where u can see light coming through and panels need to be replaced, weather stripping missing completely from one side of garage door, carpets were not clean after workers in home and left paint and druysall in carpet as well as nails and screws, holes in the drywall in the closets, and many more things too many to name. Horrible for a new home build and selling homes at such high prices for cheap workmanship and quality of home. Very disappointed in Lennar. ... More

Bad and costly because of fees at closing

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...

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.

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.

Absolutely horrible experience. Construction team left windows open and my floor and walls got soaked from the rain Over night. Then had to fight to have a remediation team come out. (This occurred during construction) paint all over our appliances and floors, had to fight to get it fixed. Have already had two plumbing issues, my solar system failed inspection, your trades keep canceling and not showing up when i have confirmed appointments to fix warranty issues. I still have items on my punch list from my final walk through that have still not been fixed. This has been an absolute nightmare. I will never recommend lennar to anyone looking for a home. If i see potential buyers I’ll be sure to tell them what we are dealing with. I’ve made complaints to corporate and nobody has even tried to call me. Sales people - useless Construction team - negligent , disgusting, unprofessional, don’t care about the work they are doing ... More

Not very happy with the experience overall.

This was my first time purchasing a home. I thought it was going to be amazing, but I would never recommend Lennar homes. I was not able to do a walk through until the morning of closing. After closing thinking the improvements would be worked on during the day after the walk through to come back at night to move in with half the house without electricity. The home was not cleaned prior to moving in. the fridge needed to be replaced thank goodness that was done, cabinets have dings in them. the tile is not leveled. there are unleveled areas of the walls. the carpets have nails sticking out of them. The building managers are not easy to reach I went through 3 of them since I moved in and only have been there a month. I am still waiting for things to be fixed. I love my home as slowly it is coming together but this building company is not the way to go even their workers advised me I should have researched more before buying from them. ... More

I have bought my house over 2 months and still have things on my list needed to be completed. They force a closing and was unable to meet the deadline of closing my house. They messed up my closing plans which had me ending up having to pay for a can for extra days. The. My house had over 16 issues and damaged appliances which still hasn’t been replaced. This has been the worst buying experience. They reach out and only make promises just to not come through with promises. I do not recommend.

The whole process was a nightmare from beginning to end.

I would say make sure everything is the way you want it before you sign. Everything that we have submitted work orders on that was not finished I did myself. Horrible experience

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.

Run! Terrible experience. All around terrible. From workmanship to responsiveness. I wish no stars were aption.

I regret buying with Lennar every single day. Materials used for construction are extremely cheap. Customer service and guarantee suck: stay away from this company

I can’t believe you have the audacity to ask me to review my experience when we closed the home 4 months ago and my property still NOT done. Starting from our New Home Orientation the house was barely put together without appliances, forcing us to close because your fiscal year was due un November, not caring about the buyer experience whatsoever, to constantly argue with the incompetent staff for the things we already paid for and them arranging contractors to come to our property without consulting with us, having to lost weeks of work just waiting for someone to show up. I still have missing doors, undone exterior, the temporary cheapest appliances, and many other things we literally had to pull teeth to get them fixed without the need because We thought you guys were the “#1 builder” in America. ...

the bad construction

So disappointed with all the problems we have had. From being threatened with penalties to pay if we did not close when Lennar wanted (house had many defects) didn't even had many doors on interior for over 4 months. Lennar NEVER showing up to perform work orders when scheduled. Took forever to get response for scheduling. So sad our very first brand new home to be soooo disappointed!

I am not at all satisfied with the house we purchased. Why would you sell a house with so many issues? What's the point of buying a new house if it will give the owner several issues?

Ever since we put a down payment on this place it has been problem after problem.
