Lennar Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

Overall a pretty good experience

very positive experience with the builder.

Bad quality, bad communication. Open issues

No trustworthy communication between sales and construction staff as to building delays, realistic settlement dates, or other updates. Each side blames each other when you talk with them. If materials are short due to supply chain, so be it. Just tell buyers the closing date is X and not hold to old and now out dated schedules just so Lennar can report sales and home closure progress for investor news. Then on top of all that blame the homeowner for wanting to know updates. Pressuring anyone who will listen for an update. Then be told a song and dance to get rid of me on the phone or in person in the sales office ... More

The completion date was delayed several months due to virus building material delays. The irritating part was the demanding closing date - prior to completion. We were not available to close in person and the Lennar sales and closing office was adamant/unyielding to close and get their money-before our home was completed.

All contractors and staff were knowledgeable and courteous..

Sales agent JVC was highly professional throughout the entire process. Would highly recommend.

We had a great experience thru the purchase and closing process. Sales staff is very friendly and responsive. The Lennar Mortgage team was slow to respond and had rates higher than other lenders, and therefore were not used. Construction, appliances and finishes were of sub-par quality compared to other new construction in similar price ranges. Issues found during closing walk thru were not completed before closing and were thus sent to the warranty team which was initially slow to respond. I love the neighborhood and amenities, but wished there was more focus on quality vs speed to closure and payment. ... More

Joey Destefano and John Vanleeuwen are true proffessionals. Their attention to the customer is off the chart. Both men never failed to meet our needs. I cannot say enough about how easy they made everything. They made me feel like they were only working for me..

Finding out that Lennar didn't run the gutters past the side entrance door,( in the villa's) has more people angry and disappointed than anything I have heard (including myself). IT MAKES NO SENSE NOT TO RUN THE GUTTER AN EXTRA 30 FEET AND THAN FORCE THE HOMEOWNER TO SPEND $500 TO HAVE IT DONE, IS BAD BUSINESS, DISAPPOINTING AND EMBARRASSING. Its the first thing I comment on when someone asks me about my new Lennar Home. Lennar also doesn't "seal" the granite counters, again forcing the homeowner to do it themselves, which again only makes us feel like Lennar was just trying to cut their costs and put it on the homeowner. These are "no brainer" items that a builder absolutely should be responsible for. It shows that Lennar doesn't have much class and doesn't look out for the homebuyer. You all really should fix these two items, at the very least. There's more.... but I'll save it for another form. ... More

We purchased 2 coach homes. Looks like Material cost inflation from the deposit date until closing on the 2nd property is resulting in using lower quality appliances ( dishwasher, etc) and dropping accessories such a ceiling fans, medicine cabinets, etc.

High volume builder. Some options but not a custom builder. Good experience so far.

Buying a home made easy and everything came as expected

Too many repairs to original construction! First three months tied up waiting in for repair people.

That lennar doesn’t follow thru on issues. Lennar has been procrastinating on a leak in my garage for well over a month. The pavers have been removed from the side of my garage. How can it take so long to fix a leak. There is now a tropical storm coming. I’m concerned about flooding and possible damage to the slab.

Our experience has been mostly good. The workmanship is not great, but the warranty department has been excellent in addressing any issues.

Excellent customer service from construction manager

do a VERY good job of inspecting your home before closing. Get your list of problems in as soon as possible, it take Lennar's contractors along time to get to your problems. Lennar need to change the door on the laundry room so when the washer walks in front of the door it does not block the door from opening.

The people of Lennar have been great! Very helpfull, and nice people. Jimmy and Arron have been awesome! Shannon was great as well!

As with any new construction there are minor issues that arise in the first 60 days. These issues in my case were handled promptly and professionally by Tremayne Allen.

Our sales contact, Kaleigh was great!! Jim, our lead contractor was very responsive too.

That their buying/building process excludes updates and input from the buyer. Other similar developer/builders in the area DEEPLY INVOLVE the buyer...to make the new home experience a joy....NOT what we stepped into

Very sloppy work. On final walk thru, resistance to repairing damaged issues. Poor quality appliances, dryer broke down after 1 week. It took 1 month to have it repaired.

Any concerns were handled quickly

We love our new home! Great design and layout, it was our favorite right away. They did a great job with the build, no major issues. Our sales person Nate Davis was amazing! He was super helpful throughout the entire process.
