Lennar Reviews in Punta Gorda, FL

I bought my condo and closed no problem, once I got in I have had multiple issues with the heat and then no ac, cracked window sill, and after one week the unit two floors above had a water leak due to a poor installation of the dish washer and damaged my unit, going on week three and it’s still not livable, not the experience I was hoping for

The most reassuring part of the entire purchase was the repair crew for post closing issues!!! Just terrific response time. My sales team were just terrific with me. Always ready to help, answer questions. Bummer about 3 months delay, but that is par for the times we are going through and Ian!

Disappointed after traveling all night from out of state Supposedly the house was move in ready. When we arrived at 430 AM …..the house we walked into was filthy! Slept in the garage… in the car. Brought it to the project manager’s attention and he had a cleaning crew come in that morning.

Title people were amazing

Communication is terrible! Condo was not completed on time. Multiple issues. Still waiting on kitchen cabinet hardware almost 2 months after close. Shower door is not what was shown to us in the model. It was installed one month after closing and it was a a cheap replacement. That issue is still on going. We were told we would receive a $2600 rebate for these issues and it still is not resolved i.e. check issued.

The follow-up by the sub-contractors for the minor construction issues was great!

This was a terrible experience.

Communication throughout the process was poor. On the scheduled closing day, Lennar could not even communicate whether or not we were actually going to close on that day -- which was extremely frustrating. We learned the hard way that Lennar rushed to complete the project and some short cuts were taken -- which are still being addressed.

While we are mostly happy with the finished product, our buying experience has, at times, been a struggle. The estimated closing date was off by almost 4 months. Fortunately we were not selling a house, so this was only a disappointment. We have learned that others that did sell had to scramble for temporary housing. In addition, a number of basic items (mirrors, shower enclosures, vanity lighting, closet shelving, etc) was not installed / fully completed on our settlement date. We waited multiple weeks to have these things addressed. And lastly, our building does not yet have rain gutters. Every time it rains the roof runoff causes the mulch to wash all over the walkway. The most troubling thing about this is that 2 buildings completed well AFTER our building have rain downspouts already installed. While our experience with Lennar’s warranty team has been satisfying, one should not have to go through “warranty” to have incomplete items addressed that should have been, but were never, complete at closing. You get the impression that Lennar’s attention focuses more on getting their pre-settlement units completed / closed versus completing work on their post-settlement units. ... More

At the direction of the contractor, items were changed or removed because of supply issues? and this was nor communicated in all circumstances to us. We are missing items in our home that were included in the sales process but not installed prior to a "hurried" closing,

We are very disappointed in the quality of workmanship and the quality of materials and appliances used. We moved in six weeks ago and have had dozens of issues with defective appliances, broken items, missing mirrors, cabinets & other items. The response time has been very bad and we feel like we have been forgotten

House thrown together with the promise of....we will fix your issues within a year. We were really disappointed when we were forced to sign for closing. We were told sign or lose your 42,ooo. Cupboards all put together uneven, tile chipped, granite chipped, walls slapped together with oneven drywall, stucco missing on outside of house and more. We almost walked away. My husband has been fixing so much himself. All neighbors say that's how Lennar rolls. We bought this home because our friends said they bought one years ago and they were great....not anymore!!

Finish work in the home was poor. Appliances damaged, drywall finish was terrible. Front door won’t close flush. House was very dirty soon arrival. Oil and paint on driveway, roof issues overall very disappointing.

The biggest disappointment was the condition of the condo at closing. There were no kitchen or laundry appliances installed, one toilet didn’t work, no electric switch in MB, needed painting and dirty. It took 3 days before we could consider moving in. This seems to be the norm- close the deal then race like crazy to make it liveable. No apologies- that’s just the way it is. After 6 weeks of waiting for an electrician to fix the light switch on the MB counter, we went out and hired our own electrician to fix it. I am being kind with my ratings. We still wait for things to be fixed but no one comes. ... More

Customer service from Wendy exceptional.

The overall experience is not what I expected. There were and still are many issues with our home. We closed 11/30 and still have not fully moved in due to outstanding issues such as air conditioner not running properly. Windows have issues and can’t close and can’t lock some of them. Lots of small issues that have been taken care of but just the overall time and effort it took to get the problems fixed was exhausting. Sprinklers have a leak which is causing us to use over 2000 gallons of water a day which is going to give us an extremely expensive water bill. Construction manager has done his best to get issues fixed but the trades response time and quality of work has been poor to average at best. ... More

This is my third Lennar home and by far the worst experience I have had purchasing a new home. I closed six weeks ago and there are a few items that aren't even complete yet, and many repairs that need to be made, I flew into town for my walk through, and noone showed up until I flagged down one of the sales guys. Very disappointed.

Workmanship in every aspect poor quality. Poor response to the issues of the house before closing and after. Damage appliances were place in the house which Lennar has not taken care of. Exterior damage to appliances Frigidaire will not cover under the warranty

From sales to closing an absolute HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Our sales person Matt was MIA most of the time. Our house was not ready for closing but expected us to close anyway. All screens were bent, painting and caulking was horrific. We have a mice problem, front doors don't lock. garage door dented. Because we sold our other home they had us over a barrel cuz we needed to move in. The house was dirty. Their follow up in every department was atrocious and still is. Extremely unhappy.... they don't care! We are seniors in our 80's and feel they took advantage of us. Very negligent. unfortunately this review is not letting me upload pictures. We have been in home for 2 months and still most repairs not completed. ... More

Closing was delayed three times. There's no coordination between the closing department and the sales/construction people. There are still a couple of outstanding issues from closing 6 weeks ago. The pool heater has never worked and it's a ridiculous length of time to get service.

Workman ship is lousy. Responsiveness is awful. Forces closings before home is complete

We love our new home and have enjoyed working with the staff at Lennar. Though everyone has been courteous and professional- we do wish our punch list items were being handled in a more timely manner

Our homebuilding experience with Lennar has been, for the most part, pretty satisfactory. Given the ongoing labor and material shortages and inflationary pressures, Lennar was able to produce an astounding number of completed properties, ours being one of them, in Babcock Ranch over a relatively short time. Our sales representative, Shaun, was very good to work with. He always took time to speak with us and he answered all of our questions within a reasonable time. Our biggest complaint would be the missed completion dates. However, given the manpower and supply chain issues, along with the ultra competitive market and a hurricane, Lennar did a credible job. Build quality was acceptable - not perfect - could have been better, but could have been much worse. Initial construction - foundation, block laying, concrete flatwork and framing all appeared to be very good. Unfortunately, the closer to finish they got, the more glaring and numerous the deficiencies became. But, so far, Lennar has remedied or has promised to take care of any problem we've brought to their attention. Fortunately, all of the problems we've noticed appear to be aesthetic and no structural issues. Since we closed two weeks after Hurricane Ian passed through the Ft. Myers area, probably the best testament to structural integrity is the fact that the only damage our property sustained was a few loose screens on the lanai and some landscaping needing to be re-staked. Another appealing aspect of buying a Lennar home was the "Everything's Included" package. Having all of the GE appliances installed and operational (actually, our dryer did not work, but Jordan, our construction manager, quickly installed a replacement), blinds installed on all the windows, the Ring doorbell and security system, Level lock, Eero mesh wi-fi, and epoxy garage floor coating, not only added monetary value, but eliminated the hassle of shopping for, acquiring and installing all of these items. Since walkthrough and closing, Jordan, has been very responsive. We're hoping that continues. In summation, although our experience with Lennar has not been perfect, considering some very difficult circumstances, overall it's been very positive. ... More

Austin was a very good project manager. Easy to get a hold of when we needed answers. Over all experience was a 10

More communication from realer and builder would be helpful
