Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

check the home as it has many poor quality materials

The buyer ends up purchasing what Lennar wants you to purchase and not necessarily what you want to because of their restrictions on color, location, model, interior finishes, etc.. In our case, the closing was sloppy and not very informative, the washing machine crapped out right after we moved in (the included GE appliances are extremely bottom of the line), the Lennar Warranty link was consistently broken each time we attempted to file a claim, and the only people that seemed genuinely interested in helping were the salesman (Ryan) and the Construction Manager (Ed). Too many issues take time to file and resolve, and on their schedule. We have many more claims to file and have only been in the house 7 weeks! We're afraid that the resolution may end up being worse than the problem. ... More

We purchased an Executive level Lennar home. The Kennedy III model. That being said we expected to close on an absolutely beautiful new home. The workmanship & building supplies in this home are beyond disappointing. The cabinets are a disgrace, huge gaps were left where the floor meets up with the cabinets, the outside of the home is not truly painted, it is more like whitewashed, the built in pest control system was “forgotten”, no hot water to the master tub, crushed cable wires, broken kitchen faucet sloppy molding/wood work, weak A/C unit, etc, etc, etc. We purchased a Lennar home as they once had a very good reputation & family just built with Lennar in another part of the state. The house they received vs. ours in Groveland is vastly different. Very disappointing! Right now we truly feel like we bought a $455,810 fixer upper! ... More

The consultant was not helpful after getting the deposit would not answer any questions and sometimes it felt like I was bothering him it was not what I expected

Dont rush into an agreement with Lennar. Inspect inspect inspect. Buyer beware.

It’s a “cookie cutter” design. Minimum input or changes you might regret later other than that beautiful house. Takes forever to get any deficiencies corrected.

Home builder has defects, that take many visits from their contractors to repair, over the course of several months. Our counter has been repaired over 6 times, and still needs more work as they can never get it right on the first visit. Damaged closet hardware has been months to get repaired, still waiting on parts for over three months. Front door still is beat up from construction, and still waiting on a replacement. Upon move in, our keys weren't even there, and then weren't the right keys, and have to get it rekeyed. Attention to detail isn't there, they just wait to see what you find and want to argue to death to get fixed. ... More

Do NOT close until you have every single detail taken care of. After you close, Lennar will disappear and your issues will go without a response for a very long period. (to be fair with Lennar, I also bought a house from them in North Texas previously, and they were very effective, courteous, and prompt in dealing with any issues. My recent experience in Orlando, FL though it's almost like this is a completely different company. Night and day...

A lot of things left undone or inoperable. Many things overlooked or ignored. Your people cannot be this blind. One gal stopped by here and wouldn’t listen to anything I said. She should be fired for her conduct. Some to most of your people are third rate at best. The backyard is even incomplete with relation to the entire property. You’ll be surprised when you get the list I send to have fixed or finished. It’s not a short list

It is taking a long time for Lennar to get the issues in our exception list resolved, particularly installing the smart lock.

My apologies I cant give a good review.

Make sure that you go through entire home and document all that needs to be fixed an make sure it is done prior to you signing paperwork. If not it will take forever to get it done. Lennar financial team was great.

During the purchasing process, information about expected closing date from the selling agent was not clear, causing thousands dollars of extra cost in financing. Water leak was found soon after moving in, caused water damage.

From the exterior concrete work-to the interior design well below the value paid. Little things like ; switch for garbage disposal under sink, bathroom vanity no drawers, refrigerator in suite under sized, ext. builder should be embarrassed

I’ve been in my home for six months now and I’m still waiting on things that I was promised would get fixed to standards from my walk thru before I signed at closing

The house was sloppily put together and there were a lot of issues that took months to fix after I moved in. I had to take too many days off work to address all the issues. Grout work was sloppy, there were painting issues and issues with my ceiling. The garage cement had too many holes and looks poorly constructed. The house was also never cleaned and there was dirt all over when I moved in.

workmanship and materials used on construction are very poor, we need to talk with many guys to solve small issues in the house and it´s take a lot of time. at the end we also have problems to install our fence as lennar didn´t let the metal pins installed.

After buying a perfect home from Lennar in 2007 I was really disappointed in the quality of work on on this new home. Really poor workmanship on house and landscaping

Once you close your house, they dissappear. Issues take them forever to get to. I ended up fixing things myself. Also lied to me saying they changed things on my house yet the houses under construction now have what was missing. They just didn't want to spend the time to get it right.

First of all, I would't brag about "having around 200 closings in one day" if everything you guys do is terrible. Terrible customer service. I don't get why we had to wait like 8-10 hours in the title house to get our keys EVEN when we presign the documents 3-4 days in advance. The finish in our house is terrible and I keep submitting tickets and my CM is not doing absolutely anything about it. Right now, I have a 24 pages long list of things that needs to be fixed.

E for everything is not necessarily a good thing.

The homes are built too quickly. After moving in you have to continuously call the service center for repairs which makes no sense since this is a newly built home. I am out of $450 because a pipe broke out in front of my house, the city came out and deemed it was my responsibility to fix and they turned my water off. Leak was caused by a piece of concrete that was sitting on the water pipe that caused a crack in it. Well I called their service to submit a request a repair, and the customer service representing acted as if she didn’t know what I was trying to explain to her, I got frustrated, hung up and went on home advisor and found a plumber. Now im trying to get reimbursement from lennar for the money that I spent and I am being told that “you may not get reimbursed because you didn’t go through us”. A water leak that caused my water to be completely shut off is an emergency, no one has time to be playing with your customer service representatives and waiting x amount of days for a contractor that they hire to come out. There’s many times that I’ve submitted service request and the contractors they hire either do not call me to schedule an appointment, they’ll schedule an appointment and just don’t show up. This is extremely frustrating as a new home owner. 2 months after closing and already have water leak. Take your time when building these homes, Rome wasn’t built in one day and that should apply for these homes too. Lennar homes are priced expensive so there should be no reason why the cheapest paint should be used through the home, the front doors are put on incorrectly where as the hinges are on the outside and if anyone decides to break into your home they can do so easily because all they have to do is unscrew the hinges off the door from the outside. The paint on the concrete is chipping from the heavy amount of rain that we’ve been getting because it was the cheapest paint used. ... More

Whole lennar team could have done a better job to make this buying experience memorable in a positive way, which obviously lacked.

We’ve had numerous issues, please keep your eyes peeled for lackluster workmanship. We have over 100 lose, broken, chipped tiles and have a damaged cabinets, doors & door frames. Do not allow the CRM rush you through the walk thru.

Terrible overall experience. The homes are quickly built we zero attention to detail. I’ve been there for close to two months and we’re still trying to finish repairs from initial walk through.
