Lennar Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Take your time during the final inspection. Do not close on your home until the corrections are completed. We have been waiting for over six weeks for the pavers to be replaced in the lani. The granite used in the kitchen is not sealed properly causing permament stains. The granite installation company and Lennar have stated the granite is defected in many homes in Lorraine Lakes but have informed home owners they will not replace the defective granite.

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 price of the house was good, everything else was mediocre at best. Craftsmanship was sub par, many issues im still dealing with 2 month later. Brand new washer leaks, fridge is dented from whoever installed it, finish carpentry is poor. There are hidden fees they don’t tell you about, like the service area assessment fee which is 274 a quarter! Buyer beware! Do your homework.

My experience with Lennar Morgage is very bad which result in I don’t wanna buy any Lennar house any more. The loan documents have a lot issue and it took us a lot time to get the clarity we need. Steve our loan officer is not responsive and not a problem solver. He kept throw our question away. We have consistently have frustration feelings that don’t wanna continue any more. A lot steps that only let us know at the last minute and keep push us to take action immediately without any turn around time. The stuff should be more efficient and give customers enough time to take actions

My experience with Lennar has been awful. I was given misinformation from my Lennar mortgage representative on several occasions making the process a nightmare. Then I was promised that a list of items would be completed by the builder prior to my virtual walk-through. They were not, but promised to be done prior to closing. It's now been six weeks since I closed and I'm still waiting for many things to be fixed. I'm frustrated and very unhappy with Lennar.

The house was not ready on closing date. There were multiple walls left with holes that the builder did not tell the buyer. First week in the house already had a water leak and we are still waiting for some repairs to be done.

Everything from start to finish was terrible including the real estate agent. I put my unit up for sale the day after I closed and cant wait to get rid of it.

If I can give zero stars I would. This is the first time buying a house and I’ll never buy a house with lennar again.

I would never buy another Lennar home. I have owned in communities. But this experience has been unimaginably horrible. I have a serious constructionissue with the house. I’m getting the runaround. The solution has been approved three separate times but the materials never get ordered so I have to keep starting over. They just close tickets out if they don’t feel like addressing them the warranty person is the most horrible, rude nasty Power crazy person he lets you know. He’s in control of what can get done at your house, they don’t stand behind the product they act like they’re doing you a favor if they’re fixing something that should’ve been right to begin with never never never do this. Do not deal with this Builder. We’re trying very hard to get our house sold I don’t wanna live in this community. You have very little recourse. we are trying to find attorney. ... More

Lennar mortgage is the worst. I have been an owner for 2 months. I sent my 1st payment as instructed and they have sent me 2 late notices. Although they cashed my check 10 days before the due date. 3 times I called to get verification and acknowlement. Waiting for a call back from a "supervisor ". Waiting over 40 minutes each time on hold Waiting for a reply. They were disorganized from the start. Nonody at their company wants to talk via the phone. They sold my loan already and still can't get answers from either company. They have made my brand new purchase a disappointing experience.

The agent that sells the house does not give you specific details when I asked about accessories in the house, etc. There are no clarities inside of the contract or at closing. One part of the company doesn’t know what the other one is doing. The mortgage buying experience was completely atrocious and I have experience in buying new homes with other builders. The quality of the materials that are used are absolutely low and cheap. A lot of people in my neighborhood in prosperity lakes have had their roof leaking within the first week by the house. One lady had her sink fall out. Half of the items that were on the inspection before closing were not done but were covered up. If I did not have experience in identifying a lot of the issues, many things would’ve been overlooked. I would never ever recommend Lennar to anybody! ... More

LENNAR is the worst for customer service. This was my first time buying a home and they made my life difficult for a whole year. There is NO communication at all. When I finally did my final walk through of the house things still weren’t finished, I was told by the construction manager that he would take care of it but don’t tell them that he was doing that but he never did now I have to go through home warrant which is another hassle.

Briefly, Communication throughout the loan, construction and closing process was poor - in some cases, non-existent. But Lennar will hold you to their dates with threats of penalties ... but when they miss a date, that's just how it is ... even if you had travel planned on those dates. The loan process was invasive as any process I've ever experienced; they should make the customer aware that an asset-based loan (which they don't offer with their promotions) would work for many customers vs. an income-based loan.

It was very stressful. They approved me for a loan. I payed 30% down payment and after that they told me that I am not approved and I needed to pay off my car. That was not the plan in first place. I had to spend all my money before I made this big purchase. I don’t want to see any email from Lennar ever again.

I am not even rating this experience. Letting others speak for me. But since I have to add more words here it is. Nothing! If you like to have PTSD please sign up to Lennar customer service.

Poor from the moment we closed So many issues. Such poor finishing. Such a slow unprofessional service getting the house as it should have been. Even untidy, broken tiles everywhere, pool green etc etc Couldn’t have been worse

Everything was ok until we signed the paperwork and then all the all the Promises we were told would be fixed or resolved we are still waiting to be fix! We never got our box of tile we were told would be in our garage and that our lawn to be fixed! We still don’t have grass in our yard after living here two months! I will never buy another house from Lennar and I will be telling everyone about the poor customer service and empty promises we were told would be handled!!

This experience has been way too stressful to even go into detail. So many issues and so many broken promises. No one gets back to you and when they do, it’s nothing but excuses. You schedule for things to be fixed and the contractors don’t show up after you’ve waited around all day for nothing. Missing light bulbs, horrible paint job, grout and paint all over the place, toilet paper holders falling off the walls, pavers loose, crooked poorly installed drawers, dirty carpets. The list goes on and oh! These things were supposed to be completed upon the second walk through and they weren’t. I was promised and asked “do you trust me to finish it?” I stupidly agreed and it never got done. Shame on me for believing it, but shame on Lennar for lying and not getting the job done and getting mad at the buyer when there’s a concern. ... More

Lennar is the worst home buying experience you could ever imagine. Broken appliances . the expectation is for them to completely inconvenience you and nothing ever gets resolved. Dryer broken, stove leaks gas.. techs have been out 3 times now. Still not resolved.Every issues is another problems issue

Purchased two townhomes in Lakewood Ranch. (Lorraine Lakes) Sales Rep for Lennar was completely unprofessional in his approach. Craftsmanship and customer services has gone by the wayside. Their a production builder and apparently hire anybody.

The quality of materials and workmanship is sub-standard at best. Lennar houses are slapped together in an assembly line manner. There are no changes allowed of any sort. Our salesman flat out lied throughout the process. Once we got close to closing we finally were able to meet the construction manager. She has no knowledge of construction. She just knows what she's told by her bosses. There are so many issues to be fixed of which they rely on the warranty dept. So far the warranty dept has been good but it's alot of emails and scheduling for people to be in our house. I highly recommend everyone to save yourselves and stay away from Lennar. ... More

Buyer beware of what you are getting into with Lennar at Lorraine Lakes. Poor communication from Bobbi the sales agent, a terrible experience with Fernando the "construction manager" and deception from both individuals when it came to the closing issues on our new $700k+ home. It is our dream home in our dream neighborhood. But we never dreamed we would have such a poor experience buying a home this expensive. 6 weeks after closing, we are still awaiting resolution on issues that were identified at our walkthru and were supposed to have been fixed within 24 hours of closing. Our home is sloppily constructed. Evidence of poor workmanship is present in every room. The master shower floor is being scheduled for a complete removal and replacement after having been re-grouted 2x already post closing. Kitchen cabinets being ordered for replacement. Our cooktop is not permanently mounted and slides freely in its opening, scratching the quartz (and warranty refuses to address it). Our carpet in our closet was not completed for 3 weeks after closing. Broken tiles, whole sections not caulked. Just a nightmare of problems. Fernando built a poor version of a beautiful house, was arrogant and difficult to communicate with and chose to throw a hissy fit and stomp out of our only walkthru when we made our concerns known. The warranty team has been struggling to keep up with all our tickets. We have so many outstanding issues I have a hard time keeping them all straight. At least Heather in the warranty dept seems to care and answers the phone and emails about half the time. Once they have your money and you close, you lose all leverage. Beware. ... More

Lennar doesn’t drop prices, Lennar doesn’t help with closing fees, and Lennar doesn’t put lights in bedrooms! Lennar doesn’t help at all! My experience with LENNAR was my worst experience ever. I’ve purchased many houses across the world but I’ve never once seen something like this happen.

My experience with Lennar has been horrible.. Since day one I wanted to buy a house with a loan and the person a spoke to thought it was cash and obviously they waited until closing day to contact me and that was a huge problem.. going from buying cash to a loan and I almost lost my deposite which is 10% of the house values ( crazy) if this was my first house I would never want to go through that also because Lennar people are not helpful at all.. honestly I don’t have time to do this but I do not recommend friends or family to buy from Lennar.. I do have experience with Dr Horton and they’re great from costumer service, they help and guide costumer so well something that lennar doesn’t do ohhhh and they don’t keep your money if something goes wrong with the loan/house and you guys take peoples savings with no remorse.. there’s so many things that I would love to say here but don’t have the time to be typing.. So I finally got my house with a lot of problems and needed something to be fix right away and I was told that wasn’t lennars problem and then I was told to contact John buscemi which he doesn’t answer his phone or reply to emails. My name is Christian Buenrostro ... More

Very poor customer service. Very rude management.
