Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Mostly good Front door does not close easily Have to pull hard to close and engage dead bolt. Trouble with all the window locks engaging to lock windows No pre-plumbing done to make water softener/filter easy to install Too many people involved between sale and move in. Would be nice to have one contact. Lennar track not very user friendly

I moved in 2 months after closing . Home was built in rush so there are many little issue including internet connection with HOA but they are very responsive in resolving all the issues . I have to send multiple tickets but they care and help to resolve the problem .

Our best experience came with the team who met us at the home; the Construction Manager “C” who should in my opinion play a much bigger part with Lennar. The young man who did the walk through was fantastic and made us feel comfortable. Anna was very warm in person and helpful. We have NO love for your Loan Department at all. The lie “$11,000 towards your closing cost” shouldn’t be used anymore. Though there was a bright spot with “J” the rest of everyone else was unprofessional and extremely pushy. I have been very vocal in discouraging anyone from financing with Lennar. There also is a person who needs remedial sales and customer service training in your “Home Protection Mortgage Insurance”. He was EXTREMELY unprofessional and rude. We do love the home, however there things that could be done to improve it. Our overall experience and totality of it all is a C plus. ... More

When I initially decided to purchase my home, I was told the closing date would be in September of 2020. When I saw construction had not yet started on my home (well after construction was supposed to have begun) I brought it up with Lennar staff. I was subsequently told the home would not be ready until closer to January 2021. As a result, I was offered a different lot with the same floorplan, which was supposed to be ready around September of 2020 (the original agreed upon timeline). When this offer was made to me, I was told this would be at no extra cost, as compensation for the mix up. I agreed to take the new lot, since I had already set plans in motion to move out of my current living space (banking on a September move in date). Two days later, I was told I would have to pay an additional fee in order to switch to the lot that would have been ready on time, and that I would have to stay with the original lot if I did not want to agree to pay more up front. I was obviously frustrated at this point, and was essentially told by Lennar staff that these were my only two options. I ultimately elected to sort out a living situation to fill out the additional time it would require to stay with the first lot, and not pay extra for a different lot. From this point on, the construction process went smoothly and expeditiously. The construction manager, Craig, was thorough and available throughout this process. However, on closing day, there was some kind of miscommunication somewhere in the Lennar organization and the construction crew was still working to correct some of the issues pointed out during the initial walkthrough when I arrived to move in. I'm not entirely sure who this oversight falls on, but it was disappointing things were not 100% complete and there had not been a cleaning done prior to my move in. All the aforementioned frustration aside, the quality of the home is top notch and I am incredibly pleased with the end result. I have not had any issues beyond a few minor cosmetic fixes. I would ultimately recommend buying a Lennar home. ... More

Good customer service. Home looks nice and modern. Quality of materials, paint, etc. could improve.

Quality of finished products (e.g., toilet fixtures) poor.

The finance people, and sales person was awesome. The concierge person seemed a bit unorganized or lost. Wasn't told to switch sprinklers and ended up with a water bill of $2,000. Many blue tape items were not addressed.

I think the sales agent was nice but the process which I’m sure is trained feels rushed and forced. You are not allowed to review documents. It’s sign and make a down payment. Will not be my last purchase but will definitely use a realtor or attorney going forward. Same thing for ky walk thru. Never got to noir or green tape so refused to sign for the walk thru. 2nd round although I taped half the tape was still up and not touched up. Overall I’m still happy with my purchase.

We recently closed on a single family home. The closing process was all one way. The builder set the schedule and we had to live with it. Living in another state required us to cancel flights and reboot them as their schedule changed. When I asked for an one day change in the schedule, I was told 'No Can do', but they later changed the schedule by a week. The workmen did a fabulous job of addressing all the building defects we identified during the 'walk threw celebration' which is really a home inspection prior to closing. However, there were items that the builder should have noticed. A few examples are: The dishwasher door was dented and the body cracked. The draw on the bottom of the stove would not shut. ... More

We purchsed this home using a realtor as our eyes as we live 1500 miles away. Overall the house itself is built well with exception of the rooms being out of square! The shower for example is approximately 1 inch out of square, which is quite noticeable when using 2 inch square floor tile. The appliances are strictly builder grade and we will update these ASAP. The excessive paperwork trying to purchase this home was just that "Excessive and repetative" seems the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, many different people sending you the same information and when you have a question nobody seems to know who's in charge. I have several differant emails contradicting who to contact for the same issue, seems everone wants to pass the buck! One would think you should contact your management compaany with issues and they in turn would in turn decide if the issue should be turned over to the Master HOA, that is not the case here...you contact the management company and they tell you "That's not my job, you need to contact the Lennar!" in my mind that's why we are paying a management company, at least that's how it worked when I was the president of a HOA in Arizona, the members never had to contact the master association, everything was handled through the managent company. ...

I loved my representative. The quality of the workmanship is a different question. It felt like the bare minimum was done and I was left to catch all the mistakes, and there were many. One example is that my property line extended 5 feet further than any dirt work or landscaping was performed. The side of my yard is at such an angle and rough that you can’t walk on it. Last minute, and half dead sod with a grass that does not match the rest of the yard was laid the day before closing. The side of my house is a hot mess. All concrete is cracked to pieces. No action was taken. I was told that unless it is. 1/4 inch wide, it was not their responsibility. To top it all off, I was showed the neighboring clubhouse and pool when viewing the site. When we attempted to go, we were turned away and told that we have our own pool and it is under construction. We cannot enter any pool except the one in our neighborhood, whenever it is complete. After two months of checking our mail every day, I finally went to the post office to find out what was happening because I did not receive a single piece of mail during that time. Turns out that to this day, there is no mail service in our neighborhood and we must drive to the other side of town and pick our mail up at the post office. I am seriously doubting my choice here. ... More

I thought they did a great job in the beginning of the process very responsive until the week of closing. Once I closed - moving from another state - with no idea of who to contact for utilities HOA etc. So disorganized and frustrating. Once that was figured out, all is good. Love the place so far! I did go through Lennar Mortgage and they did a great job!

All Lennar Homes should be consistent. Homes should not lack what was stated when purchasing. Promises not keep.

The first walk through orientation and walk through before closing was not very good experience. This was our third home, second new construction, and have moved into five other houses due to moving (US Navy) duty stations. I was in Alabama waiting for the house to be completed and was told to come down for a first home orientation which showed me the house was not ready, garage floor was not painted, no shower glass, dirty house, rusty fixtures, paint on the floors, crappy texture application. I was told it would be taken cared of before closing five days later. While some was addressed it was not sufficient, we closed because I already had my Uhaul parked in front of the house and had checked out of the hotel and we were already paying for electricity and water. Even after closing we gave them another day to fix some items. I will say the virtual closing was smooth and that was great, and slowly Lennar Warranty is fixing issues that came up during the two walk throughs. The Lennar Warranty team (Taylor, Cameron and others), during the month that we have been here, are helping in getting the issues resolved and that is a major plus on Lennar's side. A very negative experience has slowly turning into a positive one, however, no new home owner should have to through that, thankfully, the Lennar Warranty team members are the ones that outshine above the initial construction team and the only people I trust. ...

Once I closed, things didn't get resolved as timely as I felt they should have. Still waiting for unresolved issues.

The houses were sloppily put together to meet a deadline. It shouldn’t be the owners job to make sure that the construction services and trades did their job right. There should be more quality control and checking of peoples work. Finding issues every day the longer we live here

The builders mortgages Company is very difficult to deal with. I would not recommend using Lennar mortgage company.

Take the time to check EVERYTHING on your walk-thru.... when an issue is discovered later (which is inevitable) it is difficult to get the problem addressed and fixed

Lennar warranty program needs some major work. Slow responses, things still not fixed. Disappointed

I'm still discovering things about my new home. Overall I love it because it's mine but I can see in some areas where the home was rushed. Lennar has been great about quickly responding to issues.

NO the best quality materials. contractors made the construction too fast with many imperfections, bur overall, Im happy with the transaction and the seller conceptions that Lennar granted. and I will fix those issues on the way. ahhh…. HOA IS TOO EXPENSIVE, $289 is ridiculous fee for what they do, and not even cover the water.

The craftsmanship of the homes is questionable, especially given the speed with which they were built. There are some structural issues that Lennar has been slow to respond to, which is frustrating. The value is good but be prepared to have to deal with Lennar's slow post-closing repair process. The representative for Balm Grove - Rob - is unresponsive at best. Do better.

Too many different places that I had to ask questions from. Things need to be streamlined! I was never told a lot of the rules and expenditures I would have. I did not receive any paperwork and was never placed on certain lists. It was a very stressful situation for me. No guidance at all. I am told it probably happened because I paid out right and never went to a closing. Was done on my phone. The paperwork did not get to the different departments. As far as fixing any issues ; the staff has been excellent. Checking even to make sure the job is done. Excellent experience with Josh and Hailey. PLZ stream like all the payments to 1 monthly billing and then they can divide it up to all the different companies. ... More

The closing paperwork and communications at the end was terrible.

I feel that there should be some personal contact I needed some guidance during the process a phone call might go a long way instead of an email
