Lennar Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, FL

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.

Lennare has repeatedly dropped the ball. They have not done anything that told us they would do when we bought. We closed in good faith, because they agreed to to fix avery long list of problems with our home. They have made excusses, take short cuts, tried to misslead us. Overall I have no trust or confidence that they do business with honor. I would never recomend them to anyone!

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.

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.

Do not close on your property until you are happy with the job, the punchlist does not necessarily matter after you close. We are presently 7 weeks after closing and still do not have a functional pool. Lennar was in a rush to close for their fiscal monthly/quarterly numbers. New home consultant disappeared after closing with no replacement figure given. No messages answered or returned after closing, although project manager Trevor has been very helpful. Some of the problems on the punchlist that were supposed to be taken care of before closing are slowly being addressed, but I had to present them via the customer service portal. Also, date and time of the walkthrough prior to closing was scheduled by Lennar and when I requested a different date was refused. After I purchased an airline ticket and flew to Florida for the walkthrough, the NHC called and asked me to postpone as the house was not ready to be seen. This is not all and needless to say, it was not a good experience. ... More

I recently completed a townhouse and they've yet to address any issues with this build. The people involved have yet to come back and address any issues and there are some major issues wrong.

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

Buyer beware. Lennar hired substandard contractors. Problems since we closed.

Make sure you get a home inspection. Do not close until the cleaning company does a satisfactory job. Subcontractors need to take pride in their work.

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.

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

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

This was our first new build experience with Lennar and will probably be our last. 1) The salesperson, while initially helpful, friendly, and professional during the sales process, was not very helpful after we were pressured to close before the house was finished. He made a LOT of promises to follow up on punch list items immediately within two weeks during the final walk-through and then essentially washed his hands after we closed on November 30th. When we followed up, he would use the excuse of only being able to do so much since he is “only” a salesperson. And that he needed to clear things with management each time. We doubt if he even reached out to anyone for clarification and used “management” as an excuse to not provide adequate answers. It has been six weeks since closing and we are still dealing with open items and haven’t been able to rent it out as planned until the major issues are fixed. 2) We went with Lennar on everything: mortgage, title, etc.… And no one knew how to communicate. I was the primary buyer, my wife isn’t even on the mortgage, but they kept sending communications to her and not to me. The emails kept going to her spam messages. When I finally had access to the documents with Lennar Mortgage / Lennar Track, there were documents several documents that were uploaded a month prior, that would have been helpful to me as the buyer. Even this survey was sent to the wrong person. We started looking at other investment properties, this time in the Phoenix area and passed on several developments once we found out they were Lennar developments. ... More

The house stood thru the hurricane. The quality of work is terrible. The reason the walls are textured is to hide imperfections and not mud and sand. There are dips and ruts. I like the neighbors and surroundings. Lennar does not look at the home form the inside as a home owner and how things work. The driveway has no sub barrier so grass continuously grows thru. There was so much blue tape warranty said this is construction things not post close warranty.

Extremely disappointed with the whole process. Our sales agent was NOT responsive - it would take days and multiple outreach for them to respond. And my house was not finished and had many things wrong with it when we closed. Now I’m dealing with all the work orders and it’s very inconvenient to juggle as we work full time. Would not buy from LENNAR again.

It has been one thing after another We had a leak in our wall our tile and baseboard is ruined I had to fight with them for a mold inspection our vanity in that bathroom is cracked and they don’t want to replace it but fix it. The quality of materials is awful our inside door hinges are rusting after living here for less than a month They put do much drywall around my outlets i could not even use them an electrician had to remove outlet cover and chisel away excess drywall in order to make it usable I have paint chipping off my kitchen cabinets already because such cheap quality we also had a leak under our bathroom sink and because of the material being Cheap MDF the cabinet warped still waiting for it to be fixed The trades also got concrete all over my driveway ruing my pavers they have been here 5 times to power wash them and it’s still there We bought this house and all I do I cry I can’t even enjoy it the list goes on and on There are big gaps in my tiles in all bathrooms for not putting enough grout they didn’t caulk in many areas they hung the junction box in wrong place in my living room and list goes on and on ...

The home was given to me in a complete mess. Now, Lennar expects me to be available all the time to schedule appointments with each individual company for the many issues that the house has. This is a full time job for which I don’t have the time as I work full time. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a purchase of a house.

Terrible workmanship, dishonest, difficult to get things done. We closed in November and are still dealing with items that have not been completed.

I am having a very bad experience with getting issues corrected on a home I closed on Nov. 30th and paid way over asking price. The electrical company is yet to show up to install electrical fixtures, havent showed up 2 times already. Cabinet doors not set correctly, installed the wrong closet doors, grout in tile has all damages and dirt imbedded in it. Closet shelves are all crooked. I am very disappointed with what I am dealing with!!

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.

Very Bad. experience. Terrible craftsmanship.

As I have reported before, No one showed up for our scheduled walk through after it had been delayed because the Townhome was not ready. Our new closing date was scheduled but was not completed as scheduled because the townhome was not ready. No one helped us try to reschedule the closing or complete items on our punch list. Lennar forced us to close before the home was finished, We received a call around 7 pm with no previous notice on the last day of the month from a remote notary to close on the home. I was very disappointed with the sales staff in particular.

Bad quality, bad communication. Open issues
