Worst home buying experience

  • Nancy D.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • July 24, 2025
  • Parrish, FL

When we applied we didn’t know what we were going to be living. Lennar Mortgage is the WORST! They make you think you can get a home and a few days before your closing date they will find something to not approve your or request things they were supposed to have from the beginning.They lack communication skills and their process is horrible because they don’t follow guidelines. They make you lose time. We closed on a home because we used another lender but since the beginning Lennar knew we didn’t qualify with them (they have a lot of requirements) If we didn’t have urgency we would have ...

Lennar responded:
Good morning Nancy, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the mortgage team. While the homebuying process may not have gone as expected, we truly hope we can provide you with a much better experience as a homeowner. Most importantly, we hope you’re able to enjoy your new home and everything it has to ...

great value for money. builder wont cover cosmetic after closing even though home never moved into for a while after closing (and before move in). So be careful in documenting exhaustively all issues.

Just ok

  • Marissa B.

So many issues and lazy work that led to dozens of warranty claims in the first month. We were unable to move in as scheduled due to the volume. Was a shame to have so many issues including construction debris clogging pipes, electrical work not done correctly, etc.

Construction manager

  • Robert P.

  • Englewood, FL

The construction manager for this development either doesn’t know what he’s doing or he doesn’t care!! We have caught him in falsehoods (many). We had are home inspected and the multiple things that were bad were not addressed (yet) and we were told that they were amazingly well had our inspector take a second look and it wasn’t addressed on our home and sadly the construction manager still has a job. I would say it’s a fluke but we purchased a villa in this same neighborhood and same experience with the same construction manager

Love my Villa

I purchased my Villa virtually. I was being treated for cancer in Philly and the sales associate Sonia was very accommodating taking me on virtual tours from my hospital bed to see properties. Also Connie in the Title Department was so nice and accompanying for my closing. Thank you both. I sincerely appreciate the two of you and what you did to make my experience easier.

The Lennar warranty team was really responsive and great at communicating progress. I would recommend a professional cleaning prior to closing as their floors had several adhesive marks that took multiple cleanings to remove.

Working in the new construction industry can give some anxiety to buying new construction. Lennar Tampa was so easy to work with from sales all the way through to warranty! Our sales associate Brittney was so kind and genuine, our construction manager Mina has been fantastic and did an excellent job managing the build process ensuring things were caught and addressed way before closing, the warranty team has been amazing and really responsive to answer questions and do their part to help and follow up after service!

Lennar mortgage was great but after the sale Lennar communication is lacking.

  • Melodee M.

  • Parrish, FL

The main loan person, Jon was wonderful! He was always available to help with questions and paperwork concerns throughout my buying experience! The walk through is too fast but Dan was great! I am still concerned about the lack of undermounts or at least epoxy under the sinks! The dishwasher is terrible and there is no insulation to protect the countertop. I struggled for a month to get a mailbox and mail keys, but it was finally resolved. I feel like the purchase went well but felt dropped by Lennar after moving in with no real guidance on how to proceed with how and whom to contact with ...

Lennar, and their 3rd party contractors

  • Edward D.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • May 21, 2025
  • Parrish, FL

When I request anything from Lennar, they are very responsive. When requesting something from third parties, like Edmonson, they are not as responsive. This was a first time contacting Edmonson, so they get a mulligan. But when you leave a message and a call back number, and no one calls back, that's a problem.

Quick and Easy process

  • Linda W.

Once our home/care was turned over to Matt to help with any warranty issues, he was most attentive in getting the necessary people in to correct any issues we had. While I have to say, however, it should be more important that the subs Lennar uses could be more careful during the construction to avoid having any issues that need correcting to begin with. Is it perfect? No. But overall, we are quite happy. Overall construction seems decent. We’ve built 5 homes before so this new construction isn’t a first experience for us.

Our construction supervisor Chase is awesome! We had a couple of minor issues after purchase and he jumped all over it immediately. Our sales person "T" and both Homebuyer Concierges (Patricia and Misty) are also very responsive, professional and "get things done." Would rec Lennar to anyone

I want to say they lied to us but, they stretched the truth!!!!

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • April 30, 2025
  • Englewood, FL

Everything we were told was not actually true! They stretched the truth about all costs & bills, including insurance. Flood insurance & work that needed to be done before closing! We spent over $1,000 just to fly down for walk through which they said all work would be done before we move it & it was a waste of our time & money!!! Nothing was fixed before we moved in!!!

Lennar responded:
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear that things didn’t go as expected, and we understand how frustrating that can be. We hope all is resolved now.

Happy with purchase. Not happy with Mortgage and Title

  • Jaqueline S.

  • Lakewood Ranch, FL

I am pleased with the quality of the home for the price I paid. I have had a few issues and they have been quick to respond. However, Lennar mortgage and Lennar title were awful! Mortgage company messed up loan, blamed me, threatened me and delayed closing. Cost me extra to close. The title company did not send the homeowner's insurance payment (which I paid to them in closing) to the insurance company for over a month. I had to pay the insurance company and wait for them to receive payment before I got reimbursed.
