Lennar Reviews in Punta Gorda, FL

1. The mortgage interest rate offered when I was ready to lock in was almost 7 tenths of a percent higher than the national a average. I was compelled to shop with another bank in the 11th hour. This was then used as a tool to negotiate the rate below the national average. I thought keeping the title services and financing under Lennar's domain would be worth a slight premium, but they swung for a greedy outcome. 2. The Closing process was completed in last minute style. A.Materials and labor shortages were certainly an ongoing problem nationally, and our new build had numerous milestones to complete with one week prior to closing. Since Lennar is publicly traded there appeared to be intense pressure among its staff to close our property and benefit their 10Q filing. Here it is nearly two months after closing and numerous punch list items remain uncompleted. Craftsmanship was rushed. B. The actual closing date to sign all the documents remotely was a extremely stressful. I supposed to receive instructions a day head. I ended up calling Lennar's title company an hour before the scheduled close to enable instruction access. Then logging in with the remote closer was a technical challenge ... More

Great sales team. Soooo many routine building issues / defects that should not have been there and 3 months later are not fully corrected. Lennar should have their own in-house repair team as this seems to be endemic - or at least the 12-20 other new homeowners we have discussed with have the same issues.

The first we moved in, the outlets in master’s bath did not work. The dishwasher did not work. I was told that we will get a new one, but we did not. The painting is below standard. Personally, I feel the windows in master bedroom is too small.

The purchase experience itself was good (sales and title), but the overall experience was marred by many poor quality control issues on the finishes. Some examples include: - Cracked grout in both bathrooms, chipped countertops, cabinet handles that aren’t aligned properly, appliances not leveled, poor interior paint job, unlevel floor tiles, etc. We gave them a two-page punch list prior to closing and now it’s two months later and only about 4 of the 20 items have been fixed. This is a vacation home for us and we told the construction manager we were fine as long as everything was fixed within a month of closing (they can feel free to come and go as we aren’t there). But even the things that were supposed to be fixed pre-close weren’t fixed yet. Sub-contractors not familiar with what they should be doing — for example, the included Ring doorbell has a part that has to be put inside the chime within the house; this was not installed on ours (it was in the box they left us) Within the community, sidewalks are already cracking, some outside areas on the grounds are not graded properly (so large puddles form from the irrigation system), so just poor quality control resulting from cheap and poorly supervised workers. ...

Many defects / Poor Workmanship. It’s obvious that the team that builds these homes is more interested in Quantity and not Quantity / Pride in workmanship…

Disappointed in the quality of the work. No attention to details

The craftsmanship is very poor. House left a mess and many simple issues that should have never had to be dealt with. Need to improve on quality control.

Sales rep was very suspect. Construction supervisor was fantastic !

Process prior to sale was great. Had settlement and house had numerous issues to be addressed. Clearly was not totally ready. Caused a delay for me to move in so items could be fixed. Have moved in and still have some open items. Promised amenities: pool and fitness area still not completed

It has been 45 days since closing and we have a 20 item punch list of construction issues that have not been resolved. For the money paid for the home, I thought I would have received a handle on the dishwasher and trash bins for the trash cabinet in the kitchen. But I guess those items are luxuries.

There was a lack of attention to detail nearly across the board with trade skills. Carpentry, electrical, you name it. Even landscaping. This house feels like it was rushed to be completed. It feels like everyone was more concerned with hitting a deadline versus quality. The quality check process is not sufficient. Promises made by construction manager were not always followed through on. Gave up trading pretty quickly. Overwhelmed or stretched too thin? Don’t know, but if I was to buy another new build I will have to think twice about Lennar.

Very poor communication when buying home especially since we came from out of state.

When we decided to build in this community, the primary appeal was the golf course and new amenity center. Both of these areas are superb. The building process was slow, the communication was poor between building crew and us, the home was not complete when we closed and not for the Lennar warranty team of exceptional workers/vendors, I'm not sure we would be staying here.

Our home’s construction mgr assured us at closing that we would have his personal services for 2 months to assure everything would be great after closing. After 3 weeks, he told us to contact Lennar Warranty for any issues. He was busy prepping other homes to close. Major issues like the wrong keys to our front door are still not corrected after 6 weeks!!!!

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

Many variances from house to house. Initial finishing work not to standard. Punch list process is confusing and not very efficient. The bones of the house are great. It's taken over 40 days to get the needed corrections taken care of.

Lennar is a large impersonal company. Information flows downhill from above and it appears to me that most employees are afraid to act on behalf of the customer because they are afraid of making waves. This is my second Lennar house in 3 years and I have experienced this phenomenon repeatedly. Also, they are VERY slow to respond to service issues, especially if you are misguided enough, as I was, to close before the house was actually complete. Once they have your money, they are even more unresponsive. Be aware the Lennar is nothing more than a "tract" builder who is always trying to cut costs. This second home, for example, was built with much cheaper materials than the one from a couple years ago, despite the fact that the new home was supposedly a level above the last one. Lennar builds a half way decent house, but don't expect to be buying anything like a custom house, despite the inflated pricing. ... More

Not unhappy, generally speaking, but Lennar is a production builder and they're not flexible with the product they deliver. It's "garden variety". You can't upgrade anything. You get what you get.

Better communication would go a long way in making satisfied customers. Our closing was delayed over 2 months with absolutely no communication from Lennar as to reason. House was still not ready / completed at walk through.

i'd like other home buyers to Lennar does not keep to their word. There is still no amenities and we have been told for almost a year they were about to start and now at the beginning of 2022, we still have no amenities.

Poor follow up. The construction manager and his team must be more important than the home buyers. A customer service manager followed up by telling us to put work orders into Lennar’s website. Shameful.

The outside agents I used were excellent! However my experience with Lennar wasn’t satisfactory! The day I was to move in was a nightmare! The elevator wasn’t working and my condo is on the 4th floor. In fact, the elevator wasn’t working and down for the next 3 days.. I lost money because the movers had to reschedule. If a part was missing, why was it not sent overnight courier? Nobody really seemed concerned. The management company especially didn’t seem to care whatsoever. I now have others issues which I documented. I received an email requesting a virtual tour to address the problems. This isn’t going to work for me. I need someone to come an fix my issues as soon as possible. Especially the water dispersed from the refrigerator ... More

We love Webbs Reserve. Closing did not go smoothly and the lack of communication from Lennar was disappointing. They have been responsive to requests for service since we closed. Make sure to go through the fine details of the contract to look for additional “hidden” charges.

Was all good during the sale process but sales department was extremely disappointing after the sale didn't even acknowledge my business! Never heard from sales department again ! And a ton of issues after I closed they obviously want your money then disappear their goal is get you in and fix all the problems later not a good business model i love my neighborhood and the amenities but extremely dissatisfied with lennar

Our new home certainly wasn’t ready to close on closing the date, but we we’re forced to close anyway to avoid penalties. Most of the issues were looked after eventually, but here we are 5 months later and we’re still missing cabinets. Ever day I shake my head at our situation. This is not the first new home I’ve purchased but it is the first time I’ve had these kind of issues. Buyers be aware
