Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Overall great experience. Great value

I was really excited to start the process of buying a home with Lennar Homes. Throughout my homebuyer process, I was somewhat clueless of what to expect. The person that I spoke to initially, which I thought it was my Realtor, rushed me through the initial process to take a down payment within the first day of meeting her. I was only shown two homes Which the first was already sold and the second was the last available so I was told. I was told that I would be walk-through the whole process if I had any questions or concerns I could reach out to my her, Jennifer. Jennifer was absolutely no help. She was only looking to make her commission from the sale. I only really spoke with her once. She knew I was a first time homebuyer in my whole story and I thought she was trustworthy enough to help me throughout the process. She was not at all. Even after purchasing the home throughout the stressful process with all the other agents that I spoke with about the mortgage loan, I have yet to speak with her. Each time I reach out to her I either get no answer or I have to communicate with someone else that has no clue of any information to provide to me as well. The mortgage officer is were very rude as well. I know it is a stressful job, but the point of the Realtor is to take the stress off the customer and the mortgage officer . Neither department was effective, sympathetic or compassionate . They were all rude and demanding and completely unfortunately Uncompassionate to the process . The construction of the home was thrown together. I’ve had many issues since the start with electrical and plumbing. Again, I have yet to be able to speak with my realtor about this because she has not returned any of my calls. The warranty department seems a bit sketchy with Lennar homes as well. Thus far, I have not been completely satisfied but making do because I’ve set myself up for failure for a $300,000 home that really isn’t even worth 75,000. They say when you know better you do better, I only plan to stay in this home for maybe the next two years and then I will be selling. I thought this would be my forever home, But at this rate, it does not look like it will be. Lennar should have Realistic realtors that are really willing to work with first time homebuyers, Or any homebuyers that is. Explain the full process and detail what to expect and what is included. They should not be so concerned about the commission that they are going to make either way. I was told by Jennifer that if things were not correct, and I was not happy then I would become her headache that far. It seems like she’s been avoiding me by dodging my calls and never being in the office whenever I stop by. Not to mention that I’ve been in Home for almost 5 months now and I’m just now getting a mailbox key that works and our mail is just now being delivered. We were distributed other peoples keys and had to run down the office to get the keys corrected. There are millions of homes in this neighborhood and each person had a different person’s key. I can only imagine how much of my mail had been stolen if it was ever even delivered. The recreation center took forever to be completed and has still yet to be fully completed. Are key cards still do not work appropriately And the pool is never clean. Things with Lennar should be more transparent than they are. All in all, I am not happy with my service or my home, but I guess I will make do since I am stuck here. ... More

Well built house that was completed on schedule. In a great community. We are very happy.

getting help after you close is a problem landscaping all died weeks and still no action

From the mortgage process all the way to completion...a huge joke. Won't respond to messages. Won't acknowledge things not on original walk through that was a rush job. Made a repair that is now messed up again....

Have serious drainage issues both sides of home and backyard. Sod has been in for months and hasn’t grown like it should, have had reps come out and virtual calls twice and no results. Have reported this to construction managers on multiple occasions have been ignored. I am not happy with Lennar at this point. For the price we paid for these homes these issues should be resolved. We have only been here for 7 weeks.

Worst experience ever, i would leave any stars if it was possible

Appliances are bottom line quality. Too many web sites. Should be one portl with one usr Id and password. Too many regulations. Why do I have to pay an application fee after a project is approved. Not very responsive to some issues. Construction manager and staff make promises and take too long, if at all, to respond.

Not caring, no following up.

The overall experience from the application, submissions of documents, inspections & closing was extremely smooth & non-stressful. Lennar Specialist & Professionals were with me at each step of the process. Excellent & Outstanding Customer Service Experience!

Our overall experience with Lennar was great. From The beginning everyone we worked with provided us with great service. The loan process was quick and fast. They informed you of every step. Our Lennar Home specialist Ana was very patient and allowed us to tour as many model Homes and floor plans needed to male a good decision. Home was built as scheduled. I only wish they would allow us to upgrade on appliances or add bathroom add on. We were From Michigan so our walk through was great as our Realtor was able to attend on our behalf and see the property virtually. All the staff from beginning to end were amazing even the building supervisor and the person who helped us when we notice small issues in our home when we moved in. I have heard some horrible stories about Lennar but our experience was great and i would highly recommend them ... More

I worked with Joe to buy my Villa. he was amazing he helped me and continues to help me if I have question. Every person I have worked with have been professional, helpful, informing, and friendly. I had issues with closing in my other home and each Lenar team member I worked with me through the whole stressful process. My only Negative is that I was 3 day over my Closing date and the Company charged me $3,249.00 for not being able to close.

lennar is a good builder however I had many issues when I moved into the house regarding the creaking wood on the second floor, paint on the bathroom mirrors and the toilets were not working properly as well as holes in the wood part of the kitchen doors and cabinets

So far the experience has been great. There have been some adjustments to my villa but the Lennar team has been responsive, helpful and friendly. I’ve lived in a Lennar built condo before and know the construction was excellent for that time(40 years ago). Special kudos to Russell, Jamie and Bill. They try so hard to be accommodating and I really appreciate it.

This is a brand new home. We are aware it's not custom still doesn't mean when you move in there should be so many issues. Stop using the cheapest materials. We hung a small picture and the sheet rocks just fell apart. We have had a problem with almost every Appliance. I told my son I wanted new because I felt it was less stress I was wrong. The Trades were horrible. Cabinets were Cheap and doors warped. We've had so many problems. That being said. The staff is fantastic from sales,Mortgage,title and even after the sale they were great.. this is my advice if anyone wants to improve. Stop using useless trades to save a buck.have your construction Forman walk through the home prior to the customer walk through and then have the customer once its fixed..When we walked through it was a hot mess very disappointing. Even though they fixed 90% it just showed how the workmanship was crap.. ... More

Buying a house with Lennar is super easy and the process is very friendly.

Bad mortgage experience like the Keystone cops!

The amount of cosmetic defects and the amount of time it has taken to fix these issue has been the worst experience of my house buying experience. We were rushed through the final walk through a lot of things were missed and the whole process just felt rushed! From the financial stand point all the way through closing. Miscommunication with the entire staff from sales to closing escrow agents. Worse experience ever. Never again will I get a Lennar home

We are pleased with our new home. Of course there were a few minor issues, but each has been addressed as we have brought it to Lennar's attention. We have repainted most of the walls in something other than boring white. We have ripped out the bedrooms carpeting and put in vinyl plank flooring. Shelves will go up in the villa and garage. Neighborhood is great, clean, and quiet. The host of activities available to us is Extremely nice. Haven't had a chance yet to take advantage of the Lagoon or Clubhouse area, but we will when we complete moving in and prepping our existing house for sale. Lots of work that we primarily do ourselves. ... More

There's always gonna be something wrong whether it's a new build or an older home. With that being said, the luxury of having a new build is that you have warranties. Lennar was helpful with the interest rate and closing cost. I just wish that when you do need a repair they would make it easier without always happening to have a virtual meeting even though you upload pictures and videos from that then somebody will come out which is another day, you have to takeoff and then for them to fulfill the order and that's if it's done correctly, the first time around.

Honestly this was my 3 home purchase but if was the worst of the three. More stressful, communication wasn’t good at all, timeline kept changing, walkthrough and final walkthrough did not repair a lot of things that were broken or damage. Plan to purchase again but it will not be with Lennar.

Please take your time during your walk through. Everyone is moving 100MPH to get you to closing and lots of fine details are left out. We made the mistake of doing our closing the morning of our walk through...the men were still in our home "completing" the last-minute items which were still not done. Once you close, they are not timely in sending people to your home to repair. You go with many days and hours wasted of no one coming or calling you back. You get the round around of calling A, B and C because they are no longer responsible for those items you now need repaired in your BRAND new house you purchased. I have already had a leak in my bedroom from our very 1st storm here and the person that was assigned to my case Illiana, at first told me my claim was going to be denied because we had a lot of rain! Who says that to someone that just spent several hundred thousand dollars!!!!! We didn't buy a tent, we bought a LENNAR trusted built home. Plus, you never want to tell someone flat out NO without giving them some options. The other frustration is they dont respond right away but when they do, they say we will be tomorrow at 10 and if you want this done, be there! Thats also not okay. People have jobs and jobs require notice. I just spent my whole day on Monday, waiting for someone to come from 8am-12am and no one arrived. I got a follow up call 2 days later letting me know the GC is going to come to my home today at 10am, again without asking if I am going to be home. So once again people, make sure you spend a lot of time in the home. Dont let anyone rush you. Print a checklist on line and bring with you and DO NOT close until all the work has been done. ...

When you purchase Sunrise (Villas) it would be nice if they included gutters and downspouts. Also, the driveway is to narrow. We were never told that we needed to purchase on our own.

Adrianne was my sales agent and she did a great job. She was very responsive when we had questions and very caring about the whole process. The walk through with Cindy was amazing. Found only a couple of little things that we needed to be fixed. Jenny did a great job on our loan. She also was very knowledgeable and responsive. I was surprised every step of the way because I had heard negative comments about Lennar Homes. You must have had a great turn around in caring about customer service. I have nothing but good things to say. The last thing I must mention is that our yard has some elevation problems that we have been told would be fixed. I am hoping see this taken care of sooner than later. ... More
