Lennar Reviews in Miami Dade County, FL

The buying process was smooth, Lennar was involved in every aspect of the buying process, including getting a Mortgage and the closing. From that part I am happy on how everything worked out. In regards to the house, we were told a date when we would be able to walk the property to see if everything was in good shape. They said that we could bring a home inspector so we hired one for the date Lennar told us. A few days before the inspection Lennar told us the date was postponed 1 day so our home inspector couldn't come with us as he could not accommodate that last minute change. We then were told by Lennar that the inspector could not come at a later date even though it was due to their last minute change. Once we entered the property we understood why they preferred a home inspector not to come because the property was clearly unfinished, we spent many hours marking tens of defects everywhere and obviously without the help of a home inspector we missed many of them. The most important ones where related to missing insulation in the living room and scratched windows that don't close/open properly. During the tour they said don't worry anything you don't catch now it will be fixed using the 1 year warranty but that is not completely true, some thing are indeed fixed afterwards and we actually had to fix lots of them but some of the most important ones are not covered under the warranty like for example the missing insulation. Other issues we have had are with the dishwasher which stopped working after only a few uses and Lennar was unwilling to replace it. We are still waiting on having it fixed after months without dishwasher. The quality of the materials used is low and all the appliances are basic or entry level. We asked to upgrade them but they denied that possibility. The only thing it is good quality is the Ruckus AP they install which is high quality (even though is the entry level Ruckus of course). The quality of craftsmanship is very poor, you can feel how the rushed everything and don't have any attention to details. In my opinion the value we got for the price we paid is low but we are still happy because we like the neighborhood and the location of our house is really good. The house itself is beautiful and the layout works perfectly for our family. It would have been perfect if not for all these issues regarding construction. My advice for future owners is to be very careful and very thorough on the inspection. Don't trust them when they try to convince you everything will be fixed in the future because some items will definitely not be fixed and don't let them push them to sign the acceptance till every issue has been resolved. ...

The house is very expensive based on materials used that have bad quality.

Very disappointed. Lennar reputation proceeds them.

The workmanship and attention to detail is subpar to say the least. Drywall 2-3” short of the floor, hidden by the base boards/warped plywood underneath the carpet/everything painted over from the floor to returns to windows and doorknobs. Little to no insulation in the attic after being sworn to that it met standards. I could go on but you get the point. Pretty embarrassing to turnover a home like that.

We moved in on December 2019 and the building is not ready yet. The lobby is not ready and the Fob entrance system neither.

We were excited to purchase our townhome and to get in on the first offering. We had a positive experience with our salesman and patiently waited several months as the finish date was delayed over and over again. Lennar’s fiscal year ends end of November. While we were on Thanksgiving weekend with our family, we were told that our CO was approved Thanksgiving day. (Nov28). Lennar’s sales manager forced us to close remotely Saturday the 30th. He threatened to find us in breach of contract if we didn’t. We spent our Thanksgiving holiday on the computer with a remote notary. It spoiled the experience for us. We lost all trust in Lennar. ...

I am disappointed in Lennar’s overall service. My experience from start to finish was not the best or the smoothest. I think that a company as big as Lennar should provide a better overall home buying experience to their clients.

At first, our experience with Lennar was fantastic. The loan team moved quickly, and everything seemed to be on track. As active duty military members using a VA loan, we were led to believe that Lennar was coordinating directly with the VA on our behalf. However, after speaking with a VA loan agent, we learned that some of the documents Lennar requested from us should have been handled by them, not us. This raised serious concerns about their transparency and competence in handling VA loans. Despite our reservations, we moved forward. Throughout the process, the team was responsive and helpful—until we signed the paperwork. After closing, communication dropped off almost entirely. We never received a welcome packet, and basic tasks like setting up utilities and ordering trashcans became a frustrating, do-it-yourself process. It felt like Lennar's customer service vanished the moment they secured the sale. To their credit, the construction team did an excellent job, and we have no complaints there. However, the lack of post-sale support was disappointing and made what should have been a seamless transition into homeownership far more stressful than necessary. If you're considering Lennar, be prepared for great service up front—but don’t expect the same level of care once the deal is done. ... More

As today , they did not fix the issue that I have with the front of the house. No one is willing to do the job right .It is a messy job

Purchase the home and 2 months in things started falling apart. Called to get it fixed and no one had came to fix it.

the quality of the construction materials as well as the finishes are of very poor quality as well as the personnel used in the "guarantee" period does not comply with the orders, nor with the appropriate professionalism.

Very disappointed with workmanship.

My seller was so rude with is, the street is very darker no safe

I am disappointed in the quality of the products/appliances used/installed in my property. The kitchen isn’t up to code, the floor isn’t level and the very low quality grass/sod was infested when installed.

I´M NOT HAPPY WITH THE KIND OF PEOPLE OF SALES, WITH THE PEOPLE THAT DELIVERY THE HOME, THE MATERIALS,

Builders rush instead of ensuring quality products. The level of professionalism is below standard. Communication between all parties in the process is poor. If you have a new build, expect significant delays from the original move in date. I could go on, but basically expect to be disappointed and don’t set your expectations high.

The house has a lot of details, is like if they are giving you the house for free, we are still waiting for a part of the refrigerator that hasn’t arrived and it’s been 2 month since we moved in. Very cheap built houses but really expensive cost

The quality of the work is not acceptable for a new home. Baseboards are not cut and connected squarely. Door trim was cut too short leaving an ugly space between the bottom of the door trim and the flooring. In one case the entire door was installed too high, so now there is a 2 inch space under the door. Windows are crooked so that our blinds have to be installed crooked in the other direction to compensate. Bathroom tile installed crooked. Bottom master shower tile installed with sharp edges are felt on feet no matter where one stands. The paver walkway to our front door is installed crooked. There are gaps and openings between finished materials and the structure behind the finished materials. This is throughout the entire home where caulk should have been implemented to seal openings correctly. The exterior ground wasn't graded and compacted before sod was laid. The landscaping has pits throughout. The space for the refrigerator was built for a counter-depth refrigerator. The refrigerator Lennar provided protruded out of the wall almost 10 inches. We have had to spend additional time and money, which included $2,000 out of pocket for a counter-depth refrigerator. I have also heard that Lennar has also sold to investors at discounted price, and those investors are bringing in renters that may not be going through strong guidelines to protect the owners. Needless to say, I am extremely dissatisfied with my home purchase. I can now only hope that Lennar will go big with our amenities to help protect our investment. ... More

Lennar never make the pest control on a new land construction, and now we are requesting them to control the pest presence in our home, only 3 months after they deliveried the home, and they don’t want to validate their warranty because they alleged this is not under warranty covers.

Time to update your floor plans and details. Folks no longer use phone outlets in kitchen. those god awful cheap counter tops with office style back splash of 3 inches are a joke. Flimsy overall construction. Sloppy construction. Super annoying that there are no OPTIONS for upgrades of tiles, bathrooms, etc. AWFUL that we were given just $500 of "credit" for NOT taking those god awful old fashioned floor tiles with ugly grout lines. It is a massive house. We had to upgrade EVERYTHING! SHAME ON YOU!

The home Lennar delivered to me and my family was full of issues - and still is - and their people seem not to care.

Horrible and terrible experience buying the property.

Process at the beginning feels like a dream come true. After 40 days and 3 days before my closing, the nightmare starts. Lennar mortgage denied my application,n and they even care to ask for supporting documentation and anything regarding the denial, I tried to cancel everything with that denial, but Lennar insisted that it was not possible because 30 days had already passed by. After the process of getting approved by another bank because as for Lennar, I didn't have any other option, I was able to move in, I could notice bad quality, worst finishing. Conditions were not as expected since this should be a new home. What was supposed to be a dream come true was the worst decision I ever made. Definitely, I will not be using Lennar in the future. ... More

The buying process was horrible. Worst experience ever. I’m active duty military and I would steer anyone from buying from Lennar if possible.

It’s been a horrible experience from beginning to end. I had to fight for a month and a half with Lennar to finally close on my house for they consistently had issues on their end and were not communicative about anything. I am a single woman and they dragged my process along without communicating with me at all. I finally got a MALE ADULT to go to the Lennar building and he got my house keys in two minutes. They have been dismissive, ignoring messages and calls, and no care for the time i have to take off to deal with things i found out should’ve been dealt with by Lennar. It’s been almost 3 months and i still cannot live in my house due to issues Lennar gave me, and then there’s a massive leak in the ceiling that started before i even closed. Lennar took a long time fix the leak and i still have a massive hole in the ceiling. They set up appointments that the companies don’t show up for or they show up at completely different times and days that were scheduled. The workers of the drywall company they hire to fix the hole in the ceiling is the only decent experience i’ve had so far where they were actually honest and informative and not taking advantage of me. Things will be so much easier for couples or a single man ... More
