Too many open items at and after closing. The Lennar team is addressing them but some items remain out of stock and are yet to be installed (bathroom light fixtures)

Overselling but they earned the trust and respect

  • Barbara J.

  • Venice, FL

This is my first home purchase ever, so consider me a novice in home buying despite my research done ahead of time. They do earn your trust but in the beginning, it is so full of selling you this and that, false promises, etc. For example, my salesperson promised me a sound proof door considering that was a deal breaker to buy one of the last remaining houses in the community. 6 months later, still no door and learned that this should not have been made. I hate having to out work orders in only because I know the house is settling and it may require to have the contractors come out more ...

Sales team (James) was very supportive and helpful, even months after the sale. Resolution of punch list items was handled slowly but very professionally and thoroughly by Lennar staff (Danna).

Very professional new home sales representatives and construction managers with excellent communication skills.

  • Albert C.

Given high material prices and the very strong demand from home buyers for new homes in Lakewood National, it is my belief Lennar cut corners when possible with respect to quality. The perceived pressure placed on the staff/workers to rush the process to close exacerbates the warranty work necessary afterwards. Interior paint quality and workmanship has been my biggest issue. However a missing smart lock for the front door, a thermostat (per the Honeywell help desk) that isn’t programmable to your phone, a missing kick plate for the dishwasher, and an expensive door that must be replaced ...

Design and Features

Pros: Lennar has great houses to offer. I'm satisfied with their design and abundant features. Cons: Lennar's purchasing process is not as streamlined as other competitors. Their departments and affiliated agencies do not seem to be in close communication. I had to make extra effort contacting them to push things forward. I was anticipating to be instructed at every step of the process so I would know exactly what's next. This did not happen. I hope Lennar, as the number 2 builder in the country, would spend more effort to work out an tightly orchestrated workflow for buyers, and guide ...

Follow up on Issues After Closing

Overall it has been very chaotic. The account reps are responsive however the hand off to the companies to complete the work has been extremely frustrating. The paint which we paid an additional $3000 has been the major issue. Several rooms were improperly painted. First coat went to ceiling. The second coat only up to 6 inches from ceiling leaving a two tone wall. This was noted back in September when closed and it still is not corrected in three bedrooms. Multiple requests made still not resolved Painters on two occasion came with a cup of paint thinking that they could just do top ...

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.

*The sod that surrounds our home is not good quality - more like one would find in a field. *No gutters in rear of house - water comes off the roof like a waterfalls, causing a hole in the lawn and mud and water splashed into the lanai. *All the covers are either missing or broken that covers lawn watering (a request has been submitted some time ago to have this addressed and it still hasn’t been). *A request had been submitted some time ago to provide support to a planted tree in front, and this has never been addressed to date!

Lennar at Lorraine Lakes

  • David J.

  • September 14, 2022

Sales: Bobbi, the sales agent I worked with was excellent and knowledgable. Warranty: Heather and the virtual warranty team seem to be proactive with reported items, although several that were reported over the last two months don't have appointments scheduled and other trades scheduled their appoinments quickly. Some warranty repairs were not made properly, very disappointing. Lennar needs to hire another pool company to make the warranty repairs and charge back to Holiday Pools since they aren't interested in repairing my pool/spa issues.

Overall we had a great buying experience with Lennar. We did go through a less than attentive sales person early in the process, but that was resolved by the regional sales manager stepping in and picking up the slack towards the end. I would recommend Lennar for any future buyer.

Was told walk thru was on a certain date and closing to follow , but after 3.5 weeks of rescheduling and stories we finally closed, there was no consideration or reimbursement for staying in a hotel for that period of time as the building was no wear near finished upon our arrival in Florida,

Better then most in the area

  • Brian C.

Overall Lennar is better then most builders in the area. The houses are solid as I was fortunate enough to watch my house be built living down the street in another Tortuga Home. Dealing with mortgage people was a challenge just getting the math correct on their end. Dealing with the Salesman, Construction Manager and Warranty Manager were easy as they always responded in a timely manner. Getting things fixed after the sale, for the most part, was in a timely manner. Construction site is filthy (with non construction material) as workers do not pick up after themselves which intern blows all ...

The offer process was extremely stressful & drove the home prices above where they should be. They did not honor the people who were on the waitlist for several months, waiting for their homes.

The sale person was the best part of buying a home from Lennar

  • Fred M.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

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.

Working with the sales team was a first rate...but was not reflective of the post sales support

  • Brian H.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • May 04, 2021
  • Lakewood Ranch, FL

The sales team in Lakewood Ranch, FL. was first rate. They provided consistent and timely updates on the build process and were available for those spur of the moment questions that always seem to come up. Dealing with Lennar's mortgage company was not as smooth. Things went well overall, but there was a lack of communication between the sales and mortgage side on when the closing date was going to be. This caused multiple "hard" credit pulls that adversely affected my credit score. I was lucky to have a pretty good credit score so it did not effect my rate. But, it could have. Dealing ...

Finance and sales team were awesome. Lots of small blemishes that need to be fixed, scratched front door, over painting, missing CAT5 jacks, chipped tile on pool, terrible seams/drywall finishing. That being said, the team that fixes those issues are easy to connect with.

Overall pretty good experience. Fairly responsive to small issues. The only negative is that it was super late after the sale process that I was advised that the extended lanai was no longer offered. Was a big selling point for us.
