Lennar Reviews in Orlando, FL

It was the worst experience ever. I went through a lot to get this home.

No recomiendo a Lennar

All I can say is don’t buy a home from these guys.

Took too long to build and then the build was sloppy.

I will never ever go with Lennar again! If you’re looking for a home, don’t ever go with Lennar. Save yourself the hassle and certainly save your money invested somewhere else. once I started the process with them, we faced absolutely endless problems. Even after we moved in the house nothing but issues( leaking dishwasher, plumbing issues where they had to cut the drywall all over again, electricity issues, air-conditioning unit doesn’t work…..etc)

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. ...

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

This is our 2nd home that we purchased with Lennar the 1st one was in 2017 and it had way better quality. The price for this home is way higher but the materials are completely lower in quality Lennar keeps justifying that the inventory is low but it seems like it's actually just trying to get cheaper materials. We recognized Lennar for striving to deliver the best smart and best product in the market but in the market but it seems like it's not anymore. Sad.

B Ad experience dealing with Lennar and very poor work.

I would like to talk to the President of this company. Seems like he/she doesn't know what goes on beneath her. Enough with the constant apologies.

The Lennar purchasing experience has been the worst purchasing experience of my life. I have been buying homes, cars and other big purchases for the last 43 years and the Lennar purchasing experience has been the worst. The willingness of Lennar mortgage to ignore signed agreements for locking in the rate and charge a full percentage point over and above the lock-in rate, in addition to penalizing us with more than $3,000 for the higher rate, were just a few of the glaring issues. Having an inspector for the final inspection on the house, working with the only company Lennar would accept for the inspection, who willingly ignored glaring problems, was another big issue. The real nightmare began when we actually moved into the house. The problems kept piling on, day after day, after day. The subcontractors doing the repairs had to make the same repair over and over and over. As soon as one problem is fixed, two more come up. After four months living in a brand new house, the frustration level is as high as it can be. While the Lennar representatives who manage the service tickets created for all the problems try to do their best to address all the issues, more of them pop up every single day. Reliability, honesty, trustworthiness are not trades I would associate with anything Lennar homes does. ... More

The quality of materials and specially the workmanship is way below the minimum standards. If I went back, I would go with another company. Low value for what you pay and I almost feel like getting catfished with this house. The original construction manager and customer manager were rude and refused to address all the issues. If you are in the market for a new build PLEASE look at the reviews on line for Lennar and PLEASE consider other options.

It was only about the sale - this whole house buying experience was horrible. It was all about the sale and nothing more than that. I closed on a house and was told that I had homeowners insurance and was even given a policy just to find out that my insurance was canceled two days after purchasing. To this day no one has taken ownership of what went wrong no one has called to apologize and I only found out when I went to buy new homeowners insurance. That’s not the worst part, Every time a vendor came to fix an issue that should’ve been fixed during construction they damaged something else in my house. They replaced my door it took four times for them to come out to get it right everything went wrong from the door not showing up to the vendor not showing up to the vendor breaking my new door and damaging my home. My air-conditioning still doesn’t work properly they made three appointments one of which they never showed up for never called and they were two times the contractor didn’t know what he was here for and was not prepared to fix the issue. The issue still it’s not been repaired and according to the manager there’s nothing they can do because the unit is incorrect. I have nothing good to say about this homebuying experience people in the office were speaking badly about my family and I and he got back to us through our realtors who overheard them and questioned about it they denied it until we presented them with the proof and still would not get a an apology. I would not recommend anyone to mile an hour homeBecause of all these reasons and many many more which I’ve quite frank frankly don’t feel like typing. ... More
