Lennar Reviews in Sarasota Bradenton, 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 questions! Overall I love my new home but feel Lennar is not working to communicate and complete the clubhouse projects. ... More

House is great, dealing with their mortgage people was not enjoyable. You can buy better homes, better quality, but the closest thing that Del Webb had to offer was way more than 100k higher in price. I have no regrets, this is my 2nd Lennar home in 6 years.

This is our second production home purchase in the past four years. The other was from Taylor Morrison. Lennar provided a better overall experience than did Taylor Morrison. The home purchase process was relatively uneventful. All promises from the builder were kept. The home was not ready to close on the estimated date. That required an additional move on our part the cost of which was willingly borne by Lennar. We are satisfied with the home construction with the understanding that this was a production build. For the most part, builder grade materials and workmanship was expected and received. This necessitates much after the purchase modifications and improvements, but such was expected by us. The community is a pleasure in which to reside, and we have no regrets with our purchase. I would certainly purchase again from Lennar, and would recommend them to others. ... More

My wife visited the community and found a property being built, but not under contract. The process took about 2-3 months to get from signed contract to close. There were a few hiccups along the way as to be expected, but Lennar was able to deliver without much delay.

All ok. The Frig makes a lot of noise .

We recently built our new Florida Home with Lennar. Overall, we are very happy with our experience. We bought during the period where they were requiring highest and best offers, which is a bit frustrating. Not only did we not get to choose our options, but we had to bid against everyone else. That being said, the house they delivered was mostly what we were looking for, they delivered a little bit late, but compared to other builders they were fast. The value is great compared to other builders in the area. Our Sales agent was excellent, and the service responses so far have been great as well. It's easy for people to complain about their builders, but when we look around and see the overall state of the housing market, contractor labor shortages, supply chain issues, etc., we feel that the builder did a pretty good job despite those challenges. Sure not everything was perfect, but anyone expecting perfection in this market is either going to pay through the nose, or be seriously disappointed. Overall, building with Lennar has been a very good experience. ... More

We purchased a fully upgraded home in a new Lennar development, and were pleased by the excellent result. High professionalism was shown by every employee we encountered. The pandemic years caused some delays in the build process, but Lennar persevered and still delivered.

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

Overall good buying experience and quality home!

Warranty responsiveness has been excellent. Vendors providing the service not so much. Continue to find minor construction related flaws and submit my request for service.

The area to live in is great. Very near a brand new Publix Market & shops, many golf courses within 5 miles. The houses are very well built and priced correctly for the area.

The Lennar home buying experience went well except for one thing. I had an unexpected medical issue and asked for an extension on the closing date. Lennar denied it and it almost cost me the home.

The project manager seems a vase, do not really control job qualities.

The buying experience was very simple and efficient. The quality of some of the subs was underwhelming. Painters were horrible. Runs, peeled paint on the doors. Plumbers didn’t hook up the garbage disposal correctly. Had a small rip in the lanai screen. I will say the web page to have things repaired worked very well and fixes were timely.

First time building with a track builder. Our sales agent, Sean, went above and beyond. He was very communicative with us throughout the building process. There were some structural issues found by the independent inspector we hired and they were corrected at the pre drywall Phase. We also had a real estate agent, Christina, represent our interest during the 6 month build. She kept us well informed on the construction progress. We would highly recommend hiring an independent home inspector. We feel our home is well built and Lennar’s “everything included” saved us money. What attracted us to this development were the styles of home Lennar offers, the amenities and location. Overall, we are pleased with our new home build. ... More

Their selling price is very competitive. Construction and warranty managers are responsible and willing to help resolving issues. Their communities usually provide a lot of amenities.

Production Builders get a bad rap sometimes, usually because of unrealistic expectations. I feel Lennar did a great job of identifying a market, building for that market. I was delivered my new home earlier that originally planned (which almost never happens). My home was delivered with only 2 issues that have both been addressed satisfactorily. Since moving in I have had to request service for 2 issues one was handled immediately and the other just arose yesterday which I anticipate resolution soon. Overall, I am happy with the home, community, amenities, and my neighbors. If we could get a resolution to gate issues that would be nice too. ... More

Need more attention paid to quality of workmanship.

My experience of watching our home get built was unique. Living in another state causes stress but the team really wanted us to feel part of the process. By weekly receiving updated pics of our home was exciting from Jenn (she was the best and an asset to your company). As it was getting closer to the closing, and trying to get the numbers right, there were allot of concerns with things falling into place, but even with the biggest mountains the team (Julie, Brianne and NIchole) really did a great job making the closing happen on time. The only part of the experience that was stress was during the walk through with our CM, he seemed to want to rush us through, all though he said yes Ma'am and no problem I understand we will fix that. You could see he was frustrated that we wanted to see things working, like running water, a dryer that would heat up, molding around items, electrical outlet outside. He was polite, and these items that were of concern to us, should have been seen to anyone prior to the walk through. Overall, we are happy with the new home, yes there are things that need to be tweaked, but due to shortage of supplies that was out of the builder's control, it was a good process. ... More

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)

Corporate needs to take off the suits and put work clothes on and get down to the nitty gritty see their output of their constructions

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 than once but that's just me feeling like a pest. I love the 1 year maintenance warranty as the house settles. I wish somethings would have been disclosed upfront a little more and not oversold as they were good things, when they are not (appliances, etc). I never experienced Lennar homes before but am impressed overall with the home and the "Everything Included". LIke I said, first time homebuyer and it was a nerve wracking experience but they helped make the transition easy. ... 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).

Overall, we love our new home. I am, however, very disappointed that the community area at the clubhouse and pool are still not done after being told many dates for completion

The overall experience was good as compared to the cost - you get what you pay for. Lennar needs to pay attention to detail and not expect the homeowner to bring issue forward. The lot we wanted wasn't released but after we chose another lot, the original became available. Closing date was moved up by 6 wks from original estimate, had to jump through hoops. If we moved in after closing date, the final details were left for the homeowner to issue work orders: trim missing, hot water tank malfunctioned, outside light broken, floors not properly cleaned from grit, paint spots on tile & grout, door stops missing, light switches for light cans not properly wired. Even though we purchased a production home, these items could have been identified through a quality control person and not the homeowner Again, you get what you pay for. ... More
