Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

Overall, the house is beautiful! The followup on responding to issues and fixing those issues is really bad. My landscaping throughout the backyard has holes to where almost every piece of sod that was laid, is going to cause someone to sprain or break their ankle. We paid to have our hood in the kitchen vented to the outside. This was not completed and no one has come out to correct despite multiple attempts at contacting to find out when this work would be done. I would not recommend this company to anyone because they do not stand behind their work or items that are listed in a contract.

We are in our new Lennar house, and like it, but it was months late with us in a hotel. Minimal communication ( none from actual construction personnel). Moved in finally with no certificate of occupancy, many items incomplete that took weeks to complete. The company does some things beautifully, but then cheapens it. For example , the bathroom tiling is gorgeous, then they put the cheapest lights and fixtures possible, mentioning that you change them you void your warranty.

Went you recive your new key of your new home make 100 percent that everything are done because If you take the key and house it's not ready you lose. They don't want to do the repairs.

Lennar mortgage officer Tom was quite difficult to work with, After establishing this was my first property and needed various issues explained, at times the answers were borderline rude, left me feeling like an idiot for asking a question he was inferring I should know the answer. Was nice in general conversation but didn't feel the need to explain. I found issues with his work, initially I wanted 20% down. Later to find out that the numbers in his system were showing 18% down and added insurance. He didn't see the need to make corrections and re send the correct figures. I was away from home, out of state for over a month, where I left clear instructions that my real estate agent(family friend) will represent me in my absence. Not one call or email was returned to my real estate agent during that period. As it got to a point, I confronted Tom and said I will not deal directly with him anymore as I feel I am not getting the service/support I need as well as expressing my complete disappointment in the service provided. Lennar concierge Jody Ann was quite confusing at times with not replying to all in thread, omitting information in various emails, causing confusion between myself, my agent and other people in the email threads. I fought for a month before I received an answer about the Flood report survey, and after multiple emails asking for this documentation to acquire home owners insurance, she sent it to Lennar mortgage. Again, more emails, more time, more frustration I acquired what I had been asking for over a month. Finally at closing, They went past their day for closing that THEY made, then wanted to reschedule at a day that didn't suit me. If on my next home I have an option of a Lennar home and ANY other home, I will choose any other builder based off this poor experience. ... More

It seems that they were trying to get the work done to sell the house. The workman ship was very poor. We had to walk this home 3 time and items were not addressed as of our purchase date. Items still need to be addressed with us living here. The door opening from the outside and the hinges on the outside of the door is very unsafe as well. Someone could just knock the hinges off and come into the home.

Poor comms, workmanship, concierge (Nicole) argumentative 11 properties purchased to date; this was the worst experience.

At first glance, the houses look great. However, lines are not straight, walls are crooked, door frames are cracking and the hardware is drilled and redrilled into place leaving loose screws and doors that won't stay shut. The electrical system is faulty, plug in a hair dryer, lose power in half the house (until you reset the breaker). Water pipes aren't buried, they're simply covered with mulch. I'm afraid to see what the future brings with the quality of this house. The process of buying the home should have been an indicator of how the quality of work would have been. Each step of the way, I had to jump through hoops for anything from "proving" why my company hired me to many other personal and intrusive questions that had no basis on my ability to pay for the home. The home was extremely dirty when we moved in and we were told, "That's just how it is when you move into a new house." I will say, that the warranty section has started fixing some issues, well see if it continues. ... More

This is the second house I bought from Lennar, the first wasn't too bad and of course some issues came after I moved in. For the second house things were not really good from the beginning, too many issues I found after I moved and for the price that we paid I was expecting a better quality on the construction but it's Lennar what el we can expect, look around some other options and make sure that you are going to get what your money is paying for. My advice is to try to avoid this builder if you can.

We purchased from Lennar because of their next gen option in a home. Within 30 days of closing is when problems surfaced. We had sold our prior home and needed to move into the new home. Upon inspection of the home, it was possible for it to be finished. Communication with our sales person Ernest was nill to none. No returned calls. He sent text messages. I had to drop into the sales office to get to speck to someone. Within a week of closing we heard every excuse under the sun as to why construction was not complete. They even tried to move out our closing date, which would leave us with no place to go. It took speaking to a supervisor at Lennar lending to get the closing date we needed. Without her calls to others at Lennar, we would not have been able to move. We have been in our home over a month now and continue to find the quality of work, from drywall to floors, to be sloppy, shotty and needing repair. All of which we are doing ourselves, as Lennar is not. We did have two items that we reached out to Lennar about for repair, and thosr items have been repaired. ... More

Honestly, the communication from Lennar has been disappointing, chaotic and unprofessional. From the complete lack of a response for weeks regarding delays in closing to the 50+ list of "punch out items" that reflect poorly done and rushed workmanship, I could not recommend Lennar less to any future buyers.

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

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

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.

Sales team inadequate and unprofessional

Lennar makes a lot of promises about clean up and touching up issues on your final walk-through but fails to deliver on 100% of them. Most of it is little stuff where if you dont mind doing construction cleanup and minor repairs are no big deal but still pretty disappointing that none of it was done by closing. You can try putting in requests after you move in but alot of it will just be marked completed and no one will ever come out.

No point, no one cares. Many issues, same excuses. Been over 3 months with basic warrenty issues, and still waiting.

Not very well, I tried counting lennar about issues like finishing paint on the outside of the house, holes in drywall, and tile grout cracking and I have not heard a response and I’ve stopped trying to contact anyone

Lennar built a good home using great materials. The design and layout are great. But almost six months after closing my punch list remains incomplete. Very frustrating experience.

The lack of job site supervision and quality control was extremely evident. The quality of workmanship was extremely poor and not up to par for a brand new home.

My husband and I had an awful experience with building and purchasing our home with Lennar. Our final home walk through appointment was cancelled one hour before we were to meet (after we had arranged to be off of work and had child care services lined up). The house at our final walk through was not finished (not cleaned with dead bugs everywhere, missing paint, holes in the walls/ceilings, all the blinds were missing, the seamless shower frame we paid for was not installed etc). We had to rush to close because Lennar forced us and we had to push Lennar for months to get everything fixed/corrected after we moved in. The house was so dirty I had to clean it myself before it would move anything in. We were so disappointed with Lennar that I would not recommend buying from them. ... More

Had a really bad experience, the sales person lie to us, was misleading and overall the experience was awful. The materials are cheap and the work is fast done, the pain the workmanship is poorly done and fast way done, when you are paying almost a half of million for your home you expect to be done properly, just very disappointed and will not recommend it to anyone not even my worst enemy

Terrible communication throughout the purchase process. Then they tried to delay our closing 1 day before it was scheduled. Now, 2 months after closing, they refuse to provide any warranty service and just close your tickets without any response. Just a terrible company, if you are looking for a new home, look elsewhere. Run, dont walk, away from Lennar.

They use cheap carpet, cheap drywall, and when you purchase a brand new build, you expect things to work. I have had to call and set up a plethora of appointments to fix things that weren't working or were installed incorrectly. Don't do it! The one good thing is the customer service for fixing the issues is actually really great.

The handover to my new home was a horrible experience. The puchout list and other outstanding issues were not met. I'm very disappointed at the lennar team.
