Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

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

Lennar takes no pride in assuring craftsmanship in their home building. During my NHO walk through, in every room throughout the home, there was drywall, painting, and baseboards that were damaged, in need of repairs/repaint and/or replaced. Closet doors are stained with dirty hand prints from installers not wearing cloves or washing their hands. Floor grout was not cleaned properly, making the floors appear to look dirty and dingy, not to mention poorly grouted with holes or gaps throughout. The drywall throughout the home, was poorly cut and installed leaving gaps of almost a 1/4" along windows and doors. Baseboards throughout the house, has either cracks, chips, unpatched nail holes, and appears to have been painted where there was lots of sand/dirt making the appearance look very rough and dirty. The worst of it all, was the framing of the front door entrance, it was so badly done, I was in utter disbelief, that words just can't begin to explained the sloppy work that was done. The installation of the was not properly sealed causing a bug issue, and the microwave is missing air vent filters. It's been 2 months I've been living in my home and none of these repairs/replacements have yet to be made. I'm constantly having to contact the construction manager badgering him as to when this work is to be completed. The kicker of this horrible buying experience with Lennar, is they build these homes so poorly with no pride in their craftsmanship, but then have the audacity to sell these home for top $$ knowing these homes are built with no pride, which only leaves unsatisfied home owners and bad reviews; therefore ruining their reputation and company branding. ...

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.

Next level terrible company and so funny that my first review was deemed inappropriate. No bad language, no threats, just the truth. Lennar is a morally bankrupt company that produces a sub par product. Just for good measure they make you take solar and reap the 26% tax benefit. I am not sure how anyone who works for this company can sleep at night.

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

We have had nothing but problems with Lennar. There's no quality, no customer service and no accountability. The closing was postponed six or seven times, our calls and emails were rarely answered, we've submitted warranty claims left and right and some are even repeat that they just can't get it done correct. Even during the construction phase, we apprised them of issues and even provided photos and all they said was “it’ll be addressed and we will do an exceptions list and take care of it.” Well, to date many issues have NOT been taken care of and some new ones have surfaced! Lennar’s management is totally oblivious of their customer’s needs, their subcontractors do what they want and how they want, hence one of many reasons why there’s not quality or accountability. What’s even worst, is that we’ve even emailed Mr. Jaffey and I am certain that he never received our email; his staff intercept his emails and do NOT share them with him. I seriously doubt that he even knows what has taken place, which begs the question; why is Lennar canceling building projects? I’ll even go as far as saying that Lennar may just be on the verge of Chapter 13. I may even buy Lennar short stock option if I weren’t fearful of Lennar declaring bankruptcy. Heck, I bet I won't even get a call from Lennar to assist in getting all the issues addressed; I might just have to go to court! ... More

Worst experience ever, will not buy house from Lanner FL any 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.

It was a really bad experience buying and doing the walk through of the house . House was not properly finished. Still pending a lot of things to be complete. Never answer phone calls or emails. They are in the business of making money and they are rushing the process and cutting corners. Complicating and making it worse for the homeowners

I thought buying a home would be an amazing experience and it might be with another builder. The entire process was extremely stressful and frustrating. Lennar Corporate could careless and are pretty much useless. Good luck to anyone building with Lennar!

The new house is horrible they just slap them up. We new this but I didn’t thing it would be this BAD.

This was the worst experience in building a house I’ve ever had. Closed on my house at the end of July, it’s now September 14th and my house still isn’t finished. If I could give zero stars, I would.

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!

Questions with new home consultant were never actually answered, they were ‘danced’ around. Had 9 pages of fixes to be done after initial walk through. Upon the ‘final walkthrough’ there were workers still in the house fixing things. I left explaining the final walkthrough should mean everything is done and ready for review. Still not all things have been corrected almost 2 months after move in. Very disappointing as a first time home buyer. Don’t recommend.

The experience was and still has been so bad, I would not recommend anyone this builder sadly. The service has not been good, still after 2 months of moving in to the house I still have things that have not been fixed, things that should have been done before the closing date.

Lennar is no longer the company that use to be. The quality of their new homes is truly sad to see. My issue can be summarized in one sentence: Brand new home with a huge leak on the roof! Took MONTHS for them to resolve the issues. All they care about is closing closing closing. Consider other options for a new home purchase.

Overall the experience of this home was extremely disappointing and frustrating. The house was not clean and welcoming when entering a brand new home due to the following discoveries after closing: Damages to the walls, paint left on the floor, grout left on the titles, thermal expansion tank installed incorrectly twice, Green tape left on all of the bedroom doors, blue and green tape peeled off and left on the floor & carpets.Tire marks left on garage floor. the home was not cleaned and prep as promised by Lennar for closing. Many items that were identified during the walkthrough were not addressed. Multiple tickets had to be submitted to correct these issues. Even though some tickets were completed there are still pending tickets to complete many of the items listed above. Just recently discovered construction debris behind kitchen stove, the wall behind the stove still have writing on it from the construction and was not repainted along with the rest of the house, the base board mounding was left incomplete. Closet doors for three of the bedrooms needed to be readjusted, because they were poorly installed. Poor quality of the home, to have the peephole removed from the front door, although the homes were provided with the Ring security system, it would have been better served for safety reason to keep the peephole in the doors considering it’s human nature to look through peephole first before opening your door, instead of having to grab an electronic device to see who is at the door every single time. The time and money used to remove this feature from all doors could have been better spent taking care off some of the key items to completing the construction of the home properly. ... More

Worst new home buying experience ever and I will never buy Lennar home.

Terrible, more than a month and I don’t even have a shower at home worse experience ever. House with a lot of problems. I was trick.

Throughout the purchase process I was told things by the Lennar realtor that were later found out to be straight lies. They told me that all the supply’s were secured and the only issue would be labor. My house was then delayed for 10 months with no real explanation. But I’m pretty sure it was delayed to get smaller houses done to meet Lennar’s quota for their stock value. The walk thru got delayed until the day of close even though I was repeatedly told how detailed their quality checks were flawless nothing was addressed before closing. The washer and dryer were not even fully hooked up. The solar panels that were supposed to be installed were not installed until about a month after I moved in and they are still not active. The HVAC system is the minimum size required by law and cannot handle more than 90 degrees, which isn’t much help in the Florida sun. There is no ownership on the Lennar side for these issues and when they are resolved, they are resolved with minimal effort causing other issues in the process. Overall this was a horrible experience and I didn’t even get into the mortgage part of the experience. ... More

We went and looked at the exact home that we wanted, it looked wonderful. We were told that everything in that house is what we were getting. Wood-like tile, crown molding that you can actually see (we got molding that is about two inches thick, useless waste of money), etc. NOT what we got AT ALL. Our house was supposed to be done in November, then we were told December, & every month that it wasn’t ready, we were told it would be ready the next month, until finally, May rolls around & it was done. There are still holes and dents in the walls, the baseboards are either caked with paint/caulk or have dents in them. We gave a list of things that needed to be fixed to the guy during the walk through. They did a few things & that was it. There are things we told them about during closing & they have yet to contact us about those things. The counters, cabinets & floors were covered in paint from over spray, leaked paint, grout that wasn’t cleaned up properly, etc. It has been two months since we moved in and I’m still cleaning these things. We have a patch of grass missing from our yard because of some leak issue. Not sure if it’s our issue or the neighbors. I will never be buying a house through Lennar again. SLOPPY WORK, LAZY WORK, WRONG OR NO INFORMATION. ... More

Lennar's customer service is absolutely horrible. The responsiveness to customer issues is non-existent and no one seems to care that the home you are moving in to could be your place of living for the next 20 years or so. They seem more concerned with getting you closed and signed, your money in their hands then they stop responding to you. Slight issues are lumped in with major shortfalls in the construction and their response is, "it could take up to 90 days to resolve your issues". Avoid this developer if at all possible, and if you do buy a home from them ensure you are able to stop by the construction site often enough to validate the work being done by their sub-contractors. My inspection was done by a Lennar provided inspector and the final walk-through consisted of the Lennar representative attempting to rush us through the house as she had "other homes to walk-through with other buyers". ...

These is our second time buying a home and the experience with Lennar is awful. No one respond in a timely manner to any situation. Home was close with lots of open items that I need to follow up week and no one can confirm when they are going to get fix. The right hand does not know what the left hand does. The quality of equipment and construction do not match the price. Every time I call for follow up have to go over what is needed, they do keep track of customer situations or items. You ticket/open items is like a hot potato because no one is accountable to get the issue resolved they will ask to call someone else or just don't reply. I would recommend people to stay away from Lennar so they can save a lots of tears and nightmares. Lennar is the worst. ... More

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
