Lennar Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

I have already shared my experience in a previous survey and did not hear from anyone . I will never buy a Lennar home again after this experience.

Great experience, amenities & community!

Very good response to any issues. Very happy with unit, the development , and the amenities.

Living in house for 5 months things on punch list are not completed

That they claim to not be a "custom builder" when they need excuses for construction miscues and for their lack of options. For the price of their home, it seems unreasonable to make those claims. Buyers must understand that changes internally will be on their own, while changes externally are virtually non-existent due to HOA regulations.

Most of the stuff was corrected immediately but other things took a lot longer. Arrangements made for someone to come out and were no shows,not even a call.

Workmanship and quality is terrible for the price.

Great value for your money

Not the lowest quality but not nearly the highest either. Too many sensible items missed. No lights on house numbers outside and all houses look the same. Hard to distinguish your home at night and even in the day. Many light switched in absolutely the wrong place. At closing, refrigerator was dead, needed to be replaced. Numerous cabinet doors needed adjustment or replacement. Shelves missing. Crack in Lanai. Carpet seam runs right through the middle of the bedroom. Two car garage will only fit two cars if they are both very small cars. My SUV barely fits. Hot water, or no hot water actually, is an issue in the community. All that said, we love the community and are happy with the house. We probably would have made the same decision to move here again. Two very nice golf courses. ... More

We find all of the personnel to be straight forward and service oriented. COVID has made it hard to get "quality subs" many lack depth of experience to do their trade.

Very much satisfied with the buying, construction process. Regular video updates kept us informed all the way through the build. This is our second purchase from Lennar. We think they build exceptional homes.

Overall satisfied with buying experience Still waiting for serves issues to be addressed

Very happy with the the professional people that are all affliated with Lennar. They were wonderful from start to finish.

To soon to tell not all issues have been resolved.

In my opinion for the price point people are paying for these homes there should be much nicer products being put into them. I also think the buyer should be given more options to pick what products are in the home they are buying.

Not a fan. Did not deliver on time, poor job management, many failed inspections. Not the experience I had hoped for from a reputable builder. Subs unreliable and poor workmanship.

Ensure you get your independent inspection along the way and have Lennar fix it prior to closing. Post closing resolution is incredibly slow. I'm still waiting for things to be fixed that were identified at closing and 4months later still waiting.

Many items not completed at closing but the buyer is still required to close. A neighbor had to close without a certificate of occupancy. It has been 4 months since closing and many items have still not been resolved. Example of issues: Wrong carpeting, chipped mirrors and flooring, missing window sills, missing screens, scratches, chipped and gouges in kitchen granite countertop, floor tiles scratched, bent garage door. tiles missing on roof, vent not installed on outdoor grill, dirty grout in bathrooms, bent lanai frames. They are in such a rush to get the work done so they can close that there is minimal regard for workmanship and completeness. The development itself is wonderful, the overall workmanship on the homes is poor. Each repair/fix is a different vendor and they expect the home owner to be available whenever they have time to come out. God forbid if the homeowners actually have a job and aren't available during the day. It is very frustrating to still be dealing with this on almost a daily basis. ... More

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.
