Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

Initially I was very excited to build my new home with Lennar. That changed rather quickly. My closing was delayed over 6 months. When issues were discovered during the final walk through I was threatened with a daily fine if I did not close. There are items on the punch list that have still not been addressed almost 2 months after closing. I have contacted multiple people by phone and email and there is still no timeline on when the issues will be resolved. Overall I am very disappointed with the process and I will never recommend anyone buy a Lennar home.

No quality on materials, no good finishing, no response on issues after closing.

Hands down the most dreadful homebuying experience. I've lost years off my life with the stress and frustration of working with Lennar. 10x worse than a colonoscopy cleanout, and a root canal with no anesthesia being done at the same time. My house was barely completed, I was forced to close with a laundry list of issues, and I'm still chasing them down to fix things, having to take time off of work for items that should have been completed correctly in the first place. My home is an utter disappointment, and I regret almost daily buying this house and choosing Lennar. It's a utter shame what they've done to my family and I. I wouldn't recommend Lennar to my worst enemy. Please if you are reading this review - RUN. RUN AWAY from Lennar. Save yourself the nonstop headaches. Shoddy workmanship is the name of the game with Lennar. ... More

Would not recommend a Lennar home to anyone. Sales associate to building supervisor were absolutely horrid. I arrived to my house after closing with front door lock improperly installed so I was unable to lock my front door. Was asked to just stay with it unlocked for one night. Frame or door was full of holes from whoever tried to install previously. After hours of waiting lock was fixed by neighbor. Front door and sliding door left open so home was very dusty and dirty. Sales associate, angie, stated someone would come clean. Never did. Building supervisor stated that I was being untruthful per Angie as walk through was day prior. Pictures were taken as proof. No hot water was available in home day 1 and 2. Boiler went bad within a week. Grass was also dying due to sprinklers not being “hooked up” as stated that they would be during walk through. Blue tape was left in home where items should have been painted but were not. Electrical issues were present as lights flicker and power trips in varies rooms, electrician blames OUC, OUC blames electrician. Was told excuse by building supervisor that buying a new home is like buying an older home. Only positive is that items are addressed by Linette quickly. ... More

Yes, their warranty service is fairly quick to respond, but we have severe water damage every time it rains. We have torn the drywall apart in the front room three different times. The seams of the house were not sealed, there was a fist in the block wall about the size of my fist. This is rental property and we haven’t been able to put a single renter in after three months. I will not buy another Lennar home, the workmanship and quality are just not there.

Many issues, not the quality you would expect. They respond to issues, but speed to resolve is slow. They install cheap appliances.

I have bought at least 3 new homes in Florida over the last 30 years and I can say this is the worst experience I have ever had. The house was not ready in any fashion before we took it over. They told us 1 day before closing that they could not close. We had to find another solution for a temporary home for another 3 weeks at the last minute without any explanation from Lennar. They promised to refund us for some of our extra costs but as yet it has not been given back. The workmanship is shoddy all round and since closing over 2 months ago we still have sticky blue markers all over the walls and cabinets that need attention. The floors weren't even cleaned from tradesmen's dirt on move in day - and they were still laying carpets and putting up blinds. ... More

the construction of my home took over 34 months and was plagued with the worst management I have ever seen in a home builder. It has been and still is the worst home buying experience of my life. In the end we never moved into this house because the delay took so long. We have the home listed for sale and again the delay in construction has cost us 100s of 1000s of dollars.

From the misinformation given to us about our purchase, by the sales associate, to the ridiculous lies told to us by the mortgage people and the astonishing lack of quality workmanship that is out into these homes I wouldn’t recommend my enemy to buy a LENNAR home! There were so many things wrong I can’t list them all! LENNAR and all who are affiliated with this company should be ashamed of themselves!

We have had problems from day 1. Some to be expected, some not. Immediately upon move in, we found foundation issues, painting that needed to be done, light fixtures that fell out of the ceiling, broken air vent that shouldn't have been installed, broken dishwasher, new cabinetry cracked, broken tiles, shower doors with no weather stripping, front door you can see right outside, not installed properly, garage double door bending in half, missing parts/hardware. Broken sprinkler outside, Most recently just this weekend, we lost AC. Just not what we expected in a brand new home. I have a list that just never seems to be addressed, waiting for workers to come out. ... More

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

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

This is not our first new home purchase, but this was by far the worst. There is not enough room here to describe everything and I do not have all night, but I'll start by saying that we were rushed to "close" the purchase on November the 29th last year and it is today, almost 2 months later to the day that we received the key to our home after multiple attends and visits to their office from our realtor. We still do not have any documents what so ever that show that we purchased a home. To this day there is still work to be done in our new home as everything was rushed, but nothing done properly: scratches, dents, paint damage, wall damage, floor damage, water does not get to the irrigation system up front ....and so on. Consider a different company for a new home....... Terrible service, and no one gets back to you from the Lennar Title. No one....in 2 months.... ... More

Customer experience worst i ever received.I close at the end of Nov 2021 i still have a bunchs of things they never finish.Cheap materials and a lot of bad things on construction.On the financing was not to bad.I dont recommend to anybody to buy Lennar.

House was rushed to be finished for builders financial year end and it is very noticeable. Responsiveness to repairs are still not completely resolved after 4 months.

Poor construction lack of communication and no care towards the client

Our home was built in a guinea pig of semi-custom home neighborhood at a luxury price point. The Lennar project managers and subcontractors do not understand how to complete a home of this nature that isn't their traditional entry level home offer with only A, B or C options. The timeline was well beyond what we were promised, the sub-contractors created so much havoc that Lennar had over 200+ items to fix at close, and fortunately, we did not use the Lennar financing team, so we were able to not be forced to close with 200+ issues wrong with our home. We had them fix the majority before we closed, and about 30 issues remained, and these took two months to fix beyond close only because I called and emailed relentlessly, and managed the sub-contractors myself in order to get everything done. Be prepared if you don't buy an entry level home that you will have a second full time job managing their project managers and subcontractors to get the home to the point where it can be inhabited and get what you paid for from them. If you are looking for luxury, semi-custom, do not look here until they fundamentally change the way they go to market and revamp their entire team. ... More

Please don't close on your house until all issues ate resolved .

Quality and Customer Service is really poor

Terrible work ethic

The house has many problems and of which many have not been solved most of the problems are minor

5 different managers..100 calls before response...then weeks before something is complete

I had such high hopes when I put my downpayment on my new townhome. I loved the idea of something that was all mine and that no one had ever lived in before. Additionally, the fact that my home would be a smart home and Lennar's promise that Everything Is Included made it that much more exciting. Sadly, the reality was far from the dream. I'm typing this 5 months after moving into my home and I still have a laundry list of items that need to be addressed from my punch list. I've spoken to countless people with hopes of getting things done, and yet all that tends to happen is that trades people don't show up, do a poor job, or only fix one out of the list of things that need to be addressed. It is a neverending process, and I feel like I'm in the movie, Groundhog's Day. ... More

Do not close on your home until everything is move in ready. Very inconvenient to try to schedule warranty items.

Overall everything was going well. Until we handed over our down payment. Then it felt like pulling my teeth to get any questions answered by the Lennar staff. Their mortgage company was the same way. They were great till closing day. Then it felt like pulling teeth to get anything answered. Then out loan was sold off to another company and Lennar failed on multiple occasions to transfer the payment amounts and allocations properly. Our home has many cracks in the paint and lots of cut corners throughout the house that weren’t noticed in the inspection prior to. Many wholes in the drywall that just got patched over during building and not properly fixed. Overall not a good experience at all. Would not buy from Lennar ever again. ... More
