Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

I love the idea of the new generation style house. It has everything my wife and I need, but with extra space for visitors or when our children come to visit us. As always, there are small details to improve, but that will keep me busy. I really recommend Lennar

I hate this home. I will never recommend a Lennar home going forward. I was strong armed into closing when I should not have. This house is still being repaired from the original punch list. The little compensation I was provided dors not suffice the aggravation, the frustration nor the quality of work for the price I paid. more compensation is deserved for my personal time in waiting around for someone to show up, not show up or cancel at last minute. You know, most would love to call their place a home, I can’t its just a house that has brought unwanted stress to my life. Should not be this way. ... More

Did not have a great experience. I am a first time homebuyer and it felt like the entire process was very rushed and the craftsmanship of the finishings is poor. Even before the home was completed, they forced a closing date and promised all cosmetic finishes would be complete within the next week. (i.e. painting of the walls, connecting the refrigerator/ice machine, roof finishes, uneven door handles, floor work, etc) It has been over 2 months, and they still have not done a single item on the punch list. Whenever I reach out, they would find some reason to further delay (i.e. they contractors will reach out to me directly, and I would not hear from them again)... The craftsmanship is also quite poor and it felt like everything was rushed. They use the cheapest materials to build the home and overall not very pleased with this builder. Would not recommend. ...

My overall buying experience was fine from getting prequalified, to getting my conditional approval, to ensuring all the necessary paperwork was submitted on time. It was pretty straight forward with no issues. Securing the mortgage went well. Now the home itself is where I feel the ball was dropped. There was a lot of issues/ things not completed within my house prior to moving in. I am a very understanding person and I know the pandemic has done a number on getting supplies which can delay the home building process, but that’s just that, instead of delaying closing. I felt as though Lennar was more concerned with closing the house before February 28th, by any means necessary because it was the close of their 1st financial quarter (so I heard multiple times during the process). So In short let’s just say a lot of corners where cut and things were not done properly. Within the first week of moving in, our a/c stopped working and it took two weeks and MULTIPLE angry calls to Lennar for the issue to be repaired. It’s about to be almost 2 months since I’ve closed and I’m still waiting on things to be fixed. So overall as my first home buying experience it was average at best it could’ve been better if the builder was more so concerned about the quality of work being provided rather than quantity. ...

I couldn't have had worst experience than buying a home from Lennar. I was deceived in signing the purchase of the wrong home. When I spoke to the Orlando sales consultant about his mistake he said he couldn’t change it. I ended up with a subpar home. A home with gross poor workmanship, with over 130 areas to be fixed, malfunction equipments , a wavy all, you name it. To make matters worst, the home was nothing like the one I had toured to buy. Each windows of this home faces a WALL… yes, a wall. We have to get out of the home to have a view… just pathetic. To date, there is still work to be done. The work had only started a month after closing because I had to be chasing people every single day. I do not recommend Lennar to anyone, it was the worst experience of my life. ... More

Quality of work on the house wasn’t what we expected. There’s a lot of things that still need to be fixed and it’s been 2 since I closed. They need to be more attentive to there customers.

We have been in our new home for about six weeks. I have heard nothing but horror stories from people I know that have bought new construction with finding tons of shortcuts taken that caused issues or when finding a problem, having to fight to get the work done under warranty. Our house seems to be very well built. We found a small leak in the roof after about a week during a massive storm. We reported it and warranty support was amazing to deal with. We had everything taken care off very quickly and were kept informed on the process every step of the way. So far, I cannot find any real issues to complain about. I would highly recommend a Lennar home. ... More

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

I like the package with solar.

Lack of communication throughout the experience, followed by people dropping the ball as far as craftsmanship. Financial side of thing were not complete until 40 minutes after closing appointment. Home was not ready for move in until 3 days after closing

Everything; is included in the price of the home. Such as, the appliance package/Blinds.

This was our 2nd Lennar home and it went even more flawlessly this time than the previous one. The CM, Sales staff, and Customer Care team all are competent and really advocated for us in so many ways. We love our new Lennar home!

Lennar offers a unique build that includes higher end appointments at an all included price. Great attention to detail and spacious floor plans. The quality of workmanship could be a bit better, but it seem that subcontractors don’t all possess the same quest for quality. It was disappointing to see things that were important to us as home buyers, was less than important to the contractor. Also, things that were supposed to be included with the home, were cut “due to Covid”, which to me is lazy.

Great experience with whole team

Since The final walk trough,it has been a nightmare! We are almost two months since the closing date and still finding broken items.

Unfortunately, we had lots of issues with our home that we feel could’ve been avoided if we had a good construction manager supervising all its people. We did not have a refrigerator for a month, we had a water damage with a storm for improper window installation, moisture in a closet and many drywal/painting repairs. Not to mention the home was delivered without door handles upstairs, our kitchen and bathroom cabinets were a mess they had to reorder some of them and they are still on schedule to re-do our master bath shower as they did a TERRIBLE job installing it. We have a wonderful person helping us (Alexis Saber), thanks to her we have been able to repair everything promptly. She has been so attentive and wonderful to us. She and Natalia Morales have been the best experience we’ve had with Lennar, other than that I definitely wouldn’t recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

The finishing work on our property was awful. We closed over a month ago and are still having troubles getting the repairs done correctly. Every time someone comes out to fix something they end up breaking something else. Make sure you do an in person walk through and note any issues.

When I first considered Lennar, I spoke to family/friends that had personal great experiences with Lennar which encouraged me to choose them, in addition to the floor plan options and the location of the neighborhood. I waited about a month from being pre-qualified to actually being able to sign the contract (which I understood because of the crazy housing market at the time). I was promised updates along the way - foundation done, roof being put on, cabinets being put in, etc. - which really makes the building process fun. I constantly had to reach out to my sales rep to get any information on the house, or had to visit the site myself to see the progress. I don’t think my new home consultant reached out once on her own to give updates; it was always responses (days later) because I reached out asking about the progress. Basic questions about the neighborhood weren’t really ever answered (where the mailboxes would be - told incorrect information, where and when dog park would be completed - never got an answer, when the pool area would be done - also behind the scheduled date they gave). When it came time to finally do the initial walkthrough, there was no leniency on scheduling to work with my work schedule because of other timelines in place - which I was a little annoyed but understood. And then when the initial walkthrough came around, basic stuff wasn’t ready - water wasn’t hooked up for the dishwasher or fridge, door knobs weren’t on every door, slab of cement that wasn’t supposed to be there was still sitting in the lawn, and more). Some of these items were still outstanding in the final walkthrough the day of closing. If Lennar is going to hold me to a certain timeline, they need to be held to their own timelines. Now, the warranty department has actually been a decent experience handling mostly cosmetic things that weren’t found during the walkthroughs. I was super excited to build, as this was my first time not buying a resale home, but I expected a better experience and was disappointed. I know every builder has their own pros and cons, but I was mostly turned off by the customer service (or lack thereof) I experienced throughout the process. ... More

Lennar rep we’re all efficient and extremely helpful . A heartfelt thanks to consultant , Natalia Morales for her hard work and always putting us first . My family and I love it here and will be enjoying this neighborhood for many years to come .

We closed on our Lennar home recently. We are happy with our lot selection, home size, finishes, and price paid. Karly was excellent to work with in regards to new home orientation. However our trust was broken the entire time due to poor communication by many other working for Lennar, and false expectations cost us thousands of dollars in temporary housing. Given the supply and labor issues being faced in the industry, delays are understandable. However, setting realistic expectations would have been appreciated. Emails either went unanswered, answered late, or arrived with vague explanations to our questions. I would buy another Lennar home, but only if it was a move-in inventory home. ... More

To be honest since day one I've been having bad experience with Lennars Home from the day I gave my deposit until my closing date plus things that currently have not been fixed when I was advised it will only take a week after my closing date. Just unacceptable.

Hard to say since no previous experience but our overall satisfaction is high enough, definitely will recommend Lennar

Took a while to get everything completed correctly, but I attribute all of that to the lack of labor available in todays market. But in the end Lennar stood behind all that was needed to be done to our satisfaction as quickly as they could.

I'm grateful for the people who helped me in my journal. Gene, Crystal and their team did a great job.

Very knowledgeable and professional
