Lennar Reviews in Punta Gorda, FL

Lennar is a great company. They have great staff. I don’t have any complaints. I like my house.

The concierge in charge of our home was fabulous. The selling agent was bad and unresponsive. He never returned phone calls, emails or texts. The overall set up of all the different HOA is needlessly complex and never explained eell. The quality of the plug points throughout the house is low. There were several large dry wall holes that were not fixed prior to the final walk through. Roof tiles were missing but the house was deemed all done and it was difficult to get the construction manager to check it and make sure it was done. The refrigerator water line was not connected. Overall wuality of work was bad to indifferent ... More

Lennar completed the construction on time. Only minor issues needed to be addressed. Their warranty website is very efficient. They resolved all concerns (e.g. electrical outlet did not work) very promptly.

The sales experience and closing was a very positive. I received construction progress updates on a regular bases. We closed a week earlier than originally planned. Lennar has been very responsive with repair requests. The only concern I have is the quality of the closet doors. There have been multiple issues with them which have been addressed but my concern is long term durability of the closet doors.

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

My husband and I love this community And look forward to the completion of the pool. Joanne

Despite promises and numerous requests, only a few photos were taken during construction. The final inspection was a disaster. The sales person was not present at the final inspection, nor was the construction supervisor (we were informed he had several inspections that were scheduled for the same date/time). Lennar is driven solely by the schedule to close to satisfy upper management directives....work is done with the approach of "it's good enough, let's move on to the next unit". The warranty department is presented with a list of items to correct....items that should not have passed the construction phase. Closing docs needed to be revised several times post-closing....I had selected the Venmo option for any potential refunds, yet refunds were sent by check. ... More

Very informative about the entire process

Experience was gr8 from start to finish, home is everything we expected and more Simple warranty repair requests have been answered and solved in swift reaponse

This truly hasn’t been a wonderful experience. Thank goodness we got a home inspection. We highly recommend that anyone interest in buying a Lennar home do the same. Thank goodness for Susan, she has been a very helpful through this ordeal.

Great experience! Can’t wait to start making memories!!

The sales person was very professional and helpful The construction manager offered valuable information during our walk through Great home for the price in an excellent community

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…

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

Great CM and was very informative and responsive, the best experience of the three homes we have purchased from Lennar in 3 years.

It’s quick and easy

We had a great experience with Matt brown in purchasing the home and the house was supposed to be completed in 8-10 months and it was 8 months. Amazing

I would highly recommend personally monitoring the entire build process. If you personally can not then get a trust worthy buyer agent that has sold homes in a Lennar community in the past. Lennar sales reps are only focused on net new sales after P&S is signed (selling is their main job). They do not have the bandwidth to support your home build. That said, great properties, great homes, great value compared to other builders. Just pay attention and ask questions, trust but verify everything. Get to know your construction manager. They run the show as best as they can. Good luck.

Mediocre workmanship, fast finish to meet their deadline, which meant even more corners were cut. Painting over light switches, bad wood stain on the railings. Overall pretty cheap looking. Plus the closing experience with Lennar Mortgage was a disaster. I would not buy another Lennar home.

Great neighborhood looking forward to the amenities. We are enjoying our house and where it’s located.

Terrible process. Rushed us into closing and had to postpone the closing 4 times because the house was not ready each time! Matter of fact.. even after postponing twice, we had our inspection done by an independent inspector and had over 140 items to be fixed/repaired or to be completed at that point! There were even trash and stuff everywhere in the house for the inspection! The layout of the house and the community plan attracted us there, but the construction experience was the worst we had in 40 years during which we built 3 other houses. They subcontract everything at cheap rate and have these guys doing so many houses in a row that it is done fast and it shows! Painters not covering dark cabinets to paint touch up with spray gun (white paint) and leave cabinets full of paint… just no pride in delivering a quality product! I mean.. we did pay over $960k for that house and knew it was a national builder… but we were expecting a little but more professionalism to be honest. Will not hire Lennar again to built a future house. ... More

The only real issue I had was that I didn't want to use their pool vendor because of previous experience I had with then at Babcock National, I kept reminding them of that I was going to use my own pool contractor but they still put 3 large trees in the area for my Lanai and did did landscaping where pool would be built. I now have to move all that landscaping when they could have done the landscaping for a pool installation which they have.

Corners were cut in terms of building materials, electrical wiring incorrectly completed, low quality lighting & plumbing fixtures, lowest quality paint inside & out, low quality toilets seats, receptacle covers, lack of gutters around home, poor concrete finishing work on sidewalk, pavers chipped, pitted and scratched front door, kitchen cabinets not hung correctly, kitchen trim falling off, dirty HVAC unit, no real follow up from Lennar salesman other than the absolute necessary responses, landscaping bushes beat up, lack of exterior electrical receptacles, no garage floor drain or water, lanai door problems, gas lines already rusted, sprinkler system not operating correctly, pool heater pump incorrect & not wired correctly, spa jet pump not correct and broken, garage door seals not adjusted, visible holes you can see through on front and inside garage doors etc etc. ...

Home is nice. Construction Manager talked a good game but lacked follow-up on issues. Warranty Dept. Person Maria is Fantastic and focused on customer satisfaction.

Tom the salesman is a 5 star! He was responsive and very informative Easy to work with and followed up. David in the mortgage process is also a 5 star. Great to work with and made the process smooth and easy. Eric in Warranty is a 5 star plus. Did excellent follow through and kept us informed. Was very responsive. Won’t list his name but construction manager is a 1. If it was only him I dealt with I wouldn’t buy the house. No follow through, failed to deliver promises and non responsive. Overall I love the house and highly recommend Lennar homes. Great quality and well priced. I would buy another Lennar home ... More
