Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

Our experience started with the new home seller, Natasha. She was extremely rude, even stated to us, “if you don’t like it, then don’t buy here” when we inquired if there were options for solar panel manufacturers. We ended up buying do to limited homes available in the area. The closing Process was extremely rushed do to the end of the fiscal year for Lennar on 11/30. We had to have a walk through and closing the same day which is not what Lennar advertises on their website as the closing process. Natasha was not my advocate when I had questions regarding closing with so many things open on the punch list. She would only reply it’s within the contract and we had to close. The most positive experience was Jeff who did our walk through and was sympathetic to the numerous issues still needing correction. Andrew did his best to make sure the punch list was done after closing in a timely manner. ... More

There were a lot of things on our warranty list that had to be completed and has not been completed yet. Some of the outside stucco work looks shabby. The yards are not designed to be wheelchair accessible. Wood chips right next to driveway is messy and you can't get get out your car without stepping on them and spreading them on the driveway. It is not a good front yard design. My husband just recently found out he may have to use a wheelchair we can't get his wheelchair out or walker on a smooth surface when he first get out the car. The driveway is so small that his wheelchair or walker can get between the cars and there is no other smoothe surface leading up to the frobt door.. ... More

They close without home being ready to move in then take 60 days or more to fix any pending issue !

Not a great experience for a 1st time home buyer. Bad communication, there was never an answer on time, still having issues and there not being addressed or taking care of, was not provided the important information.

Lennar did not deliver as promised. It's my second home with Lennar. It's NOTHING like the first time. From the timeliness to quality of work being subpar. Quite honestly im NOT a happy camper. The only thing I got from Lennar on a timely and consistent basis was EXCUSES that didn't make sense.

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

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

Very organized process at first, but only to assure Lennar's rights and exemption of liabilities and obligations. My honest feeling is that the purchaser means absolutely nothing for them in any sense. Whenever things go wrong in the process (and they often do), all the burden is automatically imposed to customer. Lennar is extremely inflexible. They request escrow deposits with many days in advance, but cancel closing dates unilaterally with no (or very short) notice. If you have any problem (with loan bank, appraiser or insurance company – and I had them all), problem is all yours… No help, assistance or flexibility on Lennar side. All commitments assumed by buyer are demanded rigorously. All obligations assumed by Lennar are loose, fluid and subject to unilateral change by them. Terrible and very stressful experience. ...

The insulation around the house is terrible, we can hear everything from the outside. Construction process was very poorly inspected. Materials used are not the best quality as promise. I'm not confident that I bought a house that will last for a very long time.

5 months after purchasing my home I am still waiting for construction damage repairs. I should have never closed with the construction damage. Now I feel like they are taking their time with repairs.

Quite a few things went wrong since the closing. We did not receive the gate RFID stickers so we were not allowed into our community, even though the HOA pdfs we received 4 hours after the closing (around 10PM) stated we should've received gate stickers to access our home, so our move was delayed. We were also missing 1 garage remote (the package mentioned 2, we got 1), but around 2 months later we finally received the missing remote. There were 6 holes in the drywall: 2 in the staircase, and 4 in the ceiling. When installing ceiling fans, I found out some of the industrial screws holding the switches to the electrical box were completely stripped, and drywall screws were used right next to it. Drywall screws rust easily, not appropriate for electrical work, and it's not up to code. Some of the screws in the door latches upstairs are completely crooked and stripped, and 1 door in the master bathroom has visible damage and it was just painted over. There are gaps in the double doors that let in/out air and bugs. There are also gaps in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and visible staples that need to be covered, painted over. These are lots of problems for a brand new ~$500k home. The salesperson, Irma Almodovar was very nice though. I think she was one of the few upsides from this whole transaction. ... More

The house was not ready to be moved in to, but it was rushed because they were trying to close for the end of their fiscal year. They have come back to fix everything that was wrong, but the contractors they sent have been terrible and made most things worse. On the day of closing we were told to show up at lennar title at 5pm to sign papers and get the keys. We were there until after 10 pm and waited for over 5 hours. That is ridiculous and a huge waste of time. We asked if we could leave and then come back when they were ready and they said they couldn’t do that and needed us to wait there in person for 5+ hours. ... More

Too expensive for what we actually got. Material quality is subpar and workmanship needs to be improved. Promised things would be fixed during our walk-through PRIOR to our move in and they were not. Home was not even cleaned before we moved in. Not worth it. Community is nice though, so there's that.

Our salesperson was great. The loan folks were good enough. The construction delivery date was moved around, both later and then earlier. Created confusion, especially when the home was not ready after moving the date earlier. There were many issues identified with the construction that have yet to be resolved over two months after moving in. Poor follow-up. We don't recommend this builder.

Very bad workmanship and materials used.

It's a shame that Lennar doesn't care about getting the home buyer a quality finished product. They used decent enough materials. We like the home designs and there are many thoughtful details put into the design and layout of the home. But due to poor construction management and workmanship on the finishing aspects, they've cost us as the home buyer, time, money, inconvenience, and frustration after the move in. Then they lie about fixing issues. Or send out an unqualified worker that does a crap repair. Or they send someone out that never takes any action. At that point you may as well get the issues resolved yourself without Lennar. They essentially blow you off till you get tired of trying to get them to do it right. It seems they are willing to trade good reputation for saving a few bucks doing a job correctly. So far I've not met anyone in the sub that doesn't have significant issues. ... More

I’ve had to submit claim after claim because the house was rushed to be completed for closing. What I disliked is my house wasn’t complete items were not finished. I only got one walk thru and that was the day of closing. I should have gotten two. The county inspector came the day of closing which is ok but the builders rushed to get it to pass but other things were not hooked up like the second washer and dryer vents. Trim work wasn’t completed. Bifold doors were not adjusted. Some of the doors did not latch on striker plate properly. I feel they all rushed and me as a homeowner should not have to take my own time to find imperfections and mistakes. Irrigation issues , outside paint issues on house, for the money I paid I was not satisfied. They did fix all of the issues the warranty person was very on point and got it taken care of. They rushed on the closing end of Aug (end of quarter point) to hit there numbers for the quarter but let’s rush on the homes we’re quality should come first. The building manager should do his job and make sure everything is done correctly to prevent higher claims . Don’t get me wrong things happen and I know the workers are contracted as they bid for the contract. Wish our experience was better. We love our home and our community. Hopefully lennar reads this but I’m sure could care less they have there money. ... More

The quality and attention to detail is terrible. It's only been 4 months and a lot of the caulk jobs are coming apart. There's paint drips in the trim and on the doors, the nails under the carpet weren't hammered down and poke through, and we still have a cabinet that's dented and cabinet doors that are bowed and cracked. Many things didn't get fixed because all the construction manager cared about was getting his bonus for our house closing. The warranty person is also impossible to get a hold of whenever something is wrong. Overall, wouldn't recommend or purchase through Lennar again.

Sales team inadequate and unprofessional

Rush everything, fix very little, Waiting 4months for issues to be fixed. Neighbors all having issues as well

any issue with the property takes too long to get fixed, there was a week with the elevator not working

Lennar makes a beautiful home. I just wish i could enjoy it without the constant stress of things going wrong. From multiple leaks and cheap paint, to defective AC causing heat and high humidity. Uneven flooring, broken cabinets, half completed yard, plumbing was FULL of garbage that overflowed and flooded the first floor. The initial rep basically brushes things off and we had to call repeatedly to get things fixed. He was replaced and the new rep is far better. Now they fix things a lot faster but i just don't understand why there are so many things that need fixing in a new home. Things that should have been done right the first time. They rush to build the homes on a deadline while using the cheapest materials possible. They replaced a closet door with one that had mold. Seriously? I had to wait even longer for a third try. My neighbors actually had their house built missing an entire closet in the bedroom. How do you forget to build a closet in a bedroom? The AC wiring was incorrectly ran so they had to redo it along the side of the house as a giant eyesore. It's ridiculous. ... More

THAT IS THE WRONG LOT NUMBER! There are Corona bottle tops im my shower drain. How did that happen? Builders drinking while building? Maybe that is the reason there are so many issues here. Garage foundation messed up. Come fix that before my house cracks in half

This is my second time purchasing with Lennar and it seems that departments are not connected and do not talk to each other.The best part of this experience was working with Irma in Arden Park. She was amazing and made everything ok. She should be commended for providing exceptional service!

We have been dealing with all type of situations in this house. From poor materials to inefficient service to solve the issues. We have been calling and asking for the issues to be resolved over and over without any success. It’s been 2 month were the house can’t be rented and we are at revenue loss. Without counting the several expenses we have incur since we don’t live in USA.
