Lennar Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Second property we have built with Lennar. Overall happy with end result

Everything included is a great feature

Every step of the way, we encountered issues. From the sales process, to the mortgage, to title listing the wrong fees on our CD, to having closing delayed two and a half months, no communication, they had the wrong carpet installed during our walkthrough, items listed to be fixed before closing were not, and now dealing with major issues post-closing and contractors show up whenever they want and just leave without finishing the work. Poor communication, lack of workmanship, no real customer service. They just want to move fast and get your money.

Unit wasn't ready and we were forced to pushed to close.

Pretty area close to beaches pretty landscape

Original purchase policy for the condo’s had us on a waiting list as first available, as soon as our turn came up Lennar changes it’s policy to highest bidder. This caused a delay in our purchase along with a price increase.

Quality of workmanship/materials used are very low

My sales person was very professional and super helpful it made buying process easy and enjoyable!!!

Quality was lagging as was completion date. A bit unfortunate but felt Lennar Corp was more concerned with getting our building closed out before the end of their fiscal year, vs. the quality of the product. That said, we knew coming in that quality was not what Lennar is known for so didn’t expect a custom/quality job to begin with. I feel most bad for folks like Arthur and Ron who are just executing the direction they are provided, often with limited control of the process.

We’ve bought 5/6 homes from lennar we have always had a great experience with them I must say this time the Quality is just not what it use 2 b.

We were excited to move in to our new home (which was delayed nearly 4 months) in early December. When we arrived we found the home not "ready" for occupancy. The tile floor was dirty and paint spattered. There was much "blue tape" that still remained in areas identified in previous walk-throughs...far too many to mention here. The lanais were dirty (still are) and in need of a wash down. Our "punch-list" is still very lengthy. I will give kudos to Butch Ogden our sales rep as he was accessible and helped as much as he could to try and resolve some of our problems. Unfortunately there was only so much he could do. MANY kudos go to Brianna Provino, Customer Care rep. who has been very attentive to our home's many issues. She continues to be very accessible and has helped to resolve several deficiencies.. ...

Refrigerator was a problem but they resolved it

First of all, we we were on a waiting list for our home. Then, out of the blue, we had to endure a lengthy wait with stressful bidding...raising the price over 100k than original list price! Upon moving in, we found the the quality of trade workmanship sorely lacking. There were way too many issues on the punchlist and afterwards for any of the Lennar staff to reasonably complete in the 60 day period. We still have many issues to resolve...and a tilted ceiling that cannot be reasonably addressed. Love the place...just wish we had a much better experience. Thank heavens the salesman and construction manager made us feel much better and have been very helpful. ... More

Very Bad. experience. Terrible craftsmanship.

Great value and very responsive to any issues.

Finance and sales team were awesome. Lots of small blemishes that need to be fixed, scratched front door, over painting, missing CAT5 jacks, chipped tile on pool, terrible seams/drywall finishing. That being said, the team that fixes those issues are easy to connect with.

Per Title comments above - very disappointing when multiple missing and damage items are not covered.

Promises made on closing day we’re not kept

Recognize they are a production builder and volume is key, not workmanship or quality of finishes.

Terrible. Lots of confusion. Aggressive sales tactics. Lieing. Etc. consider my options due to gathere evidence.

Good job they have done!

You have no options or upgrades, just a cookie cutter builder for low to middle class. Poor quality workmanship and rushes through buildings just to sell. After closing almost two months ago I am still waiting for repairs to be done.

built to fast home was not ready to be moved into

After less than a month of moving in a flood occurred in my home, flooding 2/3 of the interior of my newly built home. The drain lines to the washing machine was not connected. I also experienced another flood in a former LENNAR home I had moved from-a Coach home- After just 3 days a sewage backup breached my master bath. Numerous experiences brought to one main conclusion with Lennar employees: incompetence. ALL laborers at LENNAR: No one spoke the English language, making it difficult to communicate my issues. I have purchased to date 4 Lennar homes. 2 of those homes had countless issues/defects/poor construction, etc. VERY UNHAPPY/dissatisfied with Lennar-the entire organization. ... More

The overall experience was good. The main main structure and overall detail of the townhouse is great. However the finishing touches extremely sloppy. We felt very rushed to close and it was obvious the workers were rushed as well. The first day of our walk thru was a disaster. It wasn’t even close to being completely and we were supposed to have a walk thru?? Townhome was never thoroughly cleaned liked it should’ve been. One window sill was cut way too short so instead of cutting a new piece they installed it and put a bunch of caulk at each end. The hole for the medicine cabinet for the second bathroom was cut wrong so they just installed the cabinet and left a 1 inch gap at the top. Texture that was sprayed on the walls is dripped on the base floor molding. Tiles around the tub in the second bathroom were not cut smooth. They left jagged edges and covered it with grout. ... More
