Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

We signed for new construction in mid April 2021...we're given a tentative closing estimate of 10/31/21 to 11/14/21. Then, after obtaining permit approvals in late May...the delays started...ground was not broken on our house until September. So a 4 month delay. Covid was said to be the reason for all delays. Understandable at 1st. Then we saw homes signed for "after ours" closing in Sept...Nov and Dec. Covid did not prevent some homes from moving forward to close. It seemed to my wife and I that the original CMs had forgotten about us and it was very, very frustrating. In October, we connected with a "new CM", Mike. The meeting was initiated by our wonderful salesperson, Susan. Mike had arrived in Trinity Lakes to help push builds forward and he did help to expedite the build on our house. We were very appreciative of his efforts. Our salesperson had been communicating with the previous CMs every week and provided status updates, which we very much appreciated also. But, in my opinion the initial CMs did not follow a "first to sign" protocol regarding priority in home builds. All that said, a second CM, Kyle, was later assigned to work with Mike and together they completed our home in late February. They provided us with a top quality construction build!! So what is the old saying "Anything worth having is worth waiting for"? Irregardless of all our woes...we love the home and community, beautiful, peaceful countryside and gorgeous sunsets over the lake! Even with the delays...10 1/2 months after first signing...I would still highly recommend Lennar for the top quality product! ... More

Home design is good but cheap quality products/finishes and poor workmanship. Response to warranty claims is slow

Great location of home and neighborhood amenities. Sales team were extremely fast in responding. Customer Relations Manager was phenomenal. We felt more like a transaction in the beginning of the building process but thankfully more like a customer as we got closer to finishing the build, thanks to our sales guy and CRM guy. Happy with home. Warranty items have been addressed quickly and pain free. We had some bumps along the way in the building process, mostly delays on things, some cutting corners by trades, messy job sites, little flexibility in changes, etc..so critical for us to be as involved in the process as much as we could. Lennar staff are just stretched so much by workloads. You can tell they want to do a good job but capacity issues are real. Thankful to be moved in and have our dream home. ... More

Great home for the price. Larry with Eagle Mortgage was outstanding, as was the onsite customer service staff. The staff that works with you to correct any issues during the walk through are awful. My suggestion is make all flaws found during walk through are corrected before you pay, otherwise good luck getting things corrected. The lawn and landscaping are terrible unless you like dead grass and lots of weeds. After 6 months of living there, I finally gave up hope on getting things corrected, so I did them myself. I think it would be good customer service to at least check in with the new homeowners once it awhile. ... More

Be more attentive to details when it comes to painting job, or other finishing touches

Overall it has not been a bad experience but there have been things that have not been what I expected of buying a new home. For example I don't know how to handle my sprinkler system and I have asked a couple of times and no response to that. A couple of other things and all the responses have been not covered by warranty and that's it. I believe when you buy a brand new home, you should get help and things should be taken care of. My requests have not been big or unreasonable.

We closed the house on 8/29/2024, we had issues with the back door, did not lock; during the first walking there was no refrigerator and was brought in a week later, after hurricane Milton, the lanai roof soffits were gone and the ones left we found out they were stitched with plastic staples, poor quality of construction on a brand new home that the lanai back door roof did not held winds; resulting in the homebuyer fixing it, The bathroom door when I open the shower door it hits the countertop from the bathroom counters. Overall, with some many issues at least you should have added the blinds from the sliding doors or the washer and dryer. Don’t think I would recommend lennar. ... More

The house is not bad, but there was a lack of attention to many details, apart from an unjustified delay in its delivery. The best has been Mrs Maria Gonzalez in addressing questions and complaints. THANKS MRS MARIA!! It will be difficult for me to buy houses from Lennar again.

Overall, we were happy with the new home. We have had a few warranty items come up, but they were resolved quickly. Alexis has been great to work with on all those issues. A common theme we have experienced and heard other neighbors complaining about is how hot these houses are in the summer. Even though the air conditioning system is working as it’s supposed to, and the insulation is to spec, we found several air gaps in the attic (under the insulation). They were causing us to lose a lot of the conditioned air and gain a lot of heat. Making it hard for the system to keep up. Lennar can’t seem to fix this issue so we had to come out of pocket to find relief. Otherwise we love the community and our new home. ... More

Sales agent was great. She helped us resolve home issues even after closing when we couldn't get responses from the appropriate departments.

This was my third house purchased with Lennar, and I was really impressed by how poor the quality of finishing and details was compared to the others. They have tried hard to resolve everything, but for me it was a disappointment and I will think twice before buying the next house with them.

The construction took 2 months more than anticipated. The communication or updates on the status of the house were very poor because The construction team was not providing updates. Once we moved into the house they were multiple concerns of undone repairs and we are still dealing with necessary repairs. Also, The tiles style were changed without notice to the buyer

Post closing attendance has been poor. Problems has not been fixed after two month from closing. Special electrical problems and finishing problems. My experience has been that there is not a person from LENNAR that follows the solution to the problems. The responsibilities are avoided by appointing some other departments and the end nobody follows up.

my sales agent was terrible. closing was a nightmare. very poor communication, no response to emails, no updates. Only positive thing about the whole home buying experience is our customer relationship manager.

There is room for improvement

The system to file Repair Request online within one year warranty is convenient and response is kind of quick, but may be the large quantity and pandemic time, the request fixing cases time are waiting too long. As buyer stand point, we want to buy a good quality and ready to live the brand new home without any worry, not by having technicians to the house back and forth. Basically, I love this builder and my house design, but that will be perfect if no rush closing and less request repairs after closed.

Buying a home is rewarding the experience was not but we had anticipated with the lender

Some departments are faster to act and reply than others. We had a very large issue with fibre cable connection below ground that took over a month to resolve resulting in losing several bookings.

Submitted a work ticket to have my doorbell relocated due to it being extremely low compared to other houses and visibility of doorbell camera for my household safety & security. Followed up with sending messages to representative and have not received any response.

Our home is beautiful but we have to have several things corrected which we shouldn’t have had to do since it’s a brand new house. The main thing is the painting - both inside and outside the house. It seems like it was rushed and several walls had to be repainted. We have had to put in tickets, then schedule appointments, then be home for the repairs. It is time consuming and, like I said, shouldn’t have happened since this is a brand new house.

Make sure you really check out the home before you buy, when we moved in the house was a mess, painting and a few carpentry items were done very sloppy. Paint on the floor every where.

Everything started off amazing, however they rushed the close of our house leaving many issues after close. We are still finding issues, but likely we are still under warranty and the warranty department has been great. The sales rep. Bob was also fantastic. I am torn on if I would recommend Lennar as the closing process was absolutely horrible.

After months of delays, which I’ve learned seems to be the norm when building a new home, I finally moved in. There have been some issues that needed addressing & so far many of them have been. My closing experience was four hours of Awful with CalAtlantic title but the best part of my new home experience was working with Shane S. the contractor. If it would not have been for him I may have called it quits. Being able to choose the floors, counters & cabinets was great. There are still a few issues needing to be completed but overall my home is beautiful & I love my view.

The sale staff was nice to deal with However, the quality of the products is not . The construction Materials used are very ship. I was expecting more. For the money that I paid, and when something is reported to the guarantee company and they put so many excuses. Exemple: I called the guarantee because the Garage floor is cracking and they said that it is not covered by the warranty. It happened when I had 2 weeks leaving in the house. No doubt so sheap materials.

We had quite few issues with our build, the workmanship was poor in several areas. . From Garage Flooring to Drywalls. The buying process was also bit clunky. Despite having the "high tech" communication tools, it was still not as smooth as it could have been. Overall. It has been average quality of build and process. Nothing really wow'ed or impressed us. This was our 4th time purchasing New Construction, so are familiar with process. So, our feedback is just "ok" could have been worse. But we have seen much better build and process as well. The quality and after build service/support... only time will tell ... More
