Lennar Reviews in Punta Gorda, FL

I have had to live in a construction zone from day one. Could not even get to the elevator as workers were blocking the walkway on my floor cutting materials, carpet, etc. My very cheap dishwasher did not work and was not taken care of for 7 days. Poor quality work.all of the the bi-fold doors (6) looked like they were scraped through gravel at the bottom. The solution was to paint them, still frayed at bottom. Cheap and attention to detail very poor on everything. The trash was overflowing for a week and when I called about it I was told the trash collectors could not get to the dumpster because the construction workers vehicles were blocking them. Multiple times I was blocked in my assigned parking spot by the construction vehicles and had to find someone to move it. The workers threw their trash on ground (food wrappers, cups) and were left there for days. The hoa fees are confusing and very difficult to decipher who to pay. The website did not allow me access due to behind in accounting, beyond frustrating. Truly my only positive is the golf staff and golf course. ... More

When evaluating purchase for Coach Home in Dec of 23 we were told completion would be in Q1 of 25. Contract stated that completion would be in Dec of 24. Actual completion was moved to Oct putting us under a financial strain to sell exit house in poor sales market of the summer and early fall months. We asked for help from Matt to move us to a later build in the schedule and that was met with cold indifference. HIs response was "you have to sell the house for loose your deposit." Financing options with Lennar were quite suspect. Offer of reduced closing costs were tied to using Lennar mortgage which were then offset by trumped up costs and higher than standard prices for closing. ... More

Buying a home from Lennar is like buying and RV. Once you buy it your salesperson drops you like a bad habit. Arthur our salesperson won't call or email you back and then when asked about he states he tried but I wouldn't return his call. which is a bold face lie. Chris the construction person was supposed to get back with me in a couple of day about an issue. It has been over two weeks. So in conclusion , If Lennar folks can't honor their word what good are they? I mean after all how much effort does it take to respond to a buyers Issue? It speaks to the culture at Lennar where lack of professionalism is tolerated. ... More

A 1500-unit development with no onsite sales manager. Sales department was not organized on what is going on with the development. Construction personal are drive by superintendents, that let the subcontractors do what they want without supervision or direction. Lennar's in field creed is to pass all mistakes onto the service department. Building wasn't finished during walk through or closing. Hats off to Maria Vasquaz of the service department to finish off the buildings and do it efficiently and make many homeowners happy.

Worst experience in my life

7 Months delayed, no proper progress updates during this time, incomplete things, did not provide what they told\showed me. Very un-professional dis-organized procedure was not expected from Lennar. Still trying to get things done with no timely response.

No words to share anything positive about this experience.

Production home with little to no attention to detail, By far the worst quality build in my 40 years and 8 new homes. Lennar is more interested in closing new homes than customer satisfaction. Beware of the closing process,

Not sure how this company can clear any letter of occupancy. The house is still incomplete. They FORCE you to close before the home is complete so they can hit their end of the quarter quota.

If everything gets done I’ll change my mind

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!!

You have “ yes” us to death, but followed thru with nothing.

We bought our house in end of August 2022, still some things are unfinished. Hard to reach general contractor, hard to reach association. We are really disappointed.

This breaks my heart to even right because we have dreamed of moving to Babcock for years, but what was supposed to be one of the most exciting times in our lives quickly became a nightmare. We have previously purchased a new construction home from Lennar, and we have never been treated so poorly. Trustworthiness Our representative failed to ask what we were looking for, giving us only a few hours to decide on a home and displaying anger when we requested more time. When we asked to see a model that wasn’t in Babcock, we were told there were none. However, our real estate agent successfully found some being built so we could review the floor plan. We continually had to fight for items that were supposed to be included in our contract, such as a washer and dryer on the first floor and our proper elevation. The absolute worst experience was with Lennar Mortgage. We advise paying more for a separate lender. Lennar qualified us multiple times, but 14 days before closing, they suddenly informed us they wouldn’t provide the loan. We fought hard to avoid losing our deposit. The lender claimed that she had never encountered a more qualified applicant, yet they attempted to withdraw the loan just before closing, making it impossible for us to change lenders. It felt like a major scam, and it's no surprise that many homes in our neighborhood seem to "fall through." This situation definitely warrants legal scrutiny, as it appears something unethical is happening. Additionally, representatives attempted to access our home weeks after we closed; thankfully, we had changed the door code. Value for Price Paid Compared to other builders in Babcock, Lennar offers the best value per square footage. However, this comes with significant hassle. Be prepared to fight for everything you think you’ve paid for, jump through hoops, and stay on top of your build. Constantly walk through the property and consider hiring an engineer to inspect it. Although you may save some money, you will spend it on other vendors for tasks that Lennar should reasonably handle. Responsiveness Whenever we asked common questions regarding lots, price adjustments, or fees, we were met with hostility and pressure to purchase. We eventually had to hire a real estate agent to take over the process due to their unwillingness to answer our questions. The lack of transparent information was astounding; for example, we were told irrigation was included in our HOA, as confirmed by our representative, but we still have not received a response since closing. Quality of Workmanship & Materials While Lennar has beautiful floor plans, we strongly advise against buying a home that is scheduled to close near November. Our home was set to be finished in January, and it was evident that the work was rushed. The paint job featured multiple colors, and many walls, including the countertops, are not straight. If Lennar had spent more time and care on our home, I could have overlooked these other issues. The only positive aspect of our experience was our project manager, who joined a week before we closed and was a pleasure to work with. The workers who came to address our issues were also wonderful. In my opinion, it is better to invest more money and choose another builder. We believe this community will be beautiful and wonderful for our growing family, but we will not be recommending Lennar or building another home with them ever again. ... More

Terrible is all I can say. Being lied to is another reason not to buy a new home from Lennar.

Paid cash. Money had to be paid prior to closing. Which was prior to walk through. On Walk through house had a ton of problems and issues and was not even completed. Never had a second walk through which in New York is unheard of to fix all the problems. Morning I closed not one issue on walk through list was addressed and the house still was not finished. To date two months later the home is still not complete let alone items on walk through complete. Now I’m being told I have to take pictures and do item by item on website. Everyone passes the buck not one person handles the situation. It looks like they used refurbished or damaged material throughout my home. Cabinets without paint, modelings that are all damaged, broken tiles, after closing being so upset I had an inspection of my own with over 45 items on it. Not one handle on any cabinet throughout my home is level or parallel to the other. Multiple times I asked for directors or managers to come to my home to which never happened. Completely and utterly disgusted. And so are all the neighbors on my block. But employees were ok taking money but not ok getting jobs done. I’m sure this review will not even be addressed ... More

Our salesperson was dishonest and unresponsive. He used high pressure tactics and forced us to close on an unfinished home (or lose our deposit). Workmanship for an executive home was abysmal. Follow up post sale was non existent with numerous unreturned calls. There has been a complete lack of coordination to get problems rectified. This company is all about moving units and quality is not even factored in.

Not happy with hundreds of 1 star reviews on Lennar.

To say we are disappointed is an understatement. The craftsmanship and quality of work are subpar to say the least. External doors installed incorrectly, closet doors damaged or not even installed, bed and bath doors hung wrong. The drywall and paint were just slapped up with no attention to detail. Windows installed, but don't actually lock. The QC team marked things to be fixed, but they never were, nor was the house/floors cleaned prior to us closing. If we could give them 0 out of 5, we would.

The workmanship is the worst I have ever seen. The follow up is almost nonexistent. Customer service is slower than slow. It takes for ever just to get a return call.

Flat white paint on walls! Really No light fixtures or fans? Really You call yourself a quality builder? Terrible customer service. No updates on status. Treat customers very poorly.

Owner, in Babcock Ranch

Lennar has been a nightmare from day one. I was threatened with taking my retirement to a large fine if I didn't close when Lennar wanted to close. On the day of closing Lennar was not ready and the unit was certainly not completed. I closed on Dec 5, 2022 and as of today Jan 25,2023 I still cannot move my belongings in because the doors and windows still will not lock/open. I have contacted and have been promised by many of Lennar people and still no resolution. I have had to pay an additional $1000 for storage because I cannot move in my condo. I have other issues such as the front entrance floods due to sidewalk not slanted properly, my vanity doors are damaged. I would not refer Lennar to anyone and if something isn't done soon I may consider calling the media. This is ridiculous and shameful that a company can operate in this manner. ... More

To many mistakes in the construction phase broken window glass and sliding glass doors to the lanai leaking water in the sink!!! Terrible

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
