Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

The appliances could have been better. The dishwasher was billed as stainless steel but is plastic inside. I had to deal with problems like cracked tiles that were grouted in even tho cracked, a dead tree in front and setting up the security by myself. Spectrum was the worst. After 3 appointments a troubleshooter was sent and all was done.

Very poor quality Lot of missing things during the final walk issues are getting fixed only after so many follow ups Promising that everything will be resolved before final walk. But there were lots of missing and left overs during my closing time. I was in a worst mood when closing the house.

Lennar only cares about closings. Our house was not even close to being ready to close, but Lennar insisted that it was going to close. It took three weeks after closing before the house was clean enough to occupy. Paint, drywall compound and grout were all over the tile. Paint and stains were in the carpet. Installer cut lines and marks were and still are in the tile. Gas was not turned on for the dryer; hot water was not connected to the dish washer. The overall filth in the house was just unbelievable. Very poor drywall and painting work. If not for the cooperation of Wllma, our construction manager, this review would be much lower. Wilma took over in the middle of the construction when many of the problems were already present. Lennar prides itself on many of its features but whoever heard of a house with no drawers in the bathroom vanities. The list of issues are really too numerous to detail. ... More

We are happy after two months to be settled in our house - we love it and the issues we had have been addressed and new builds always have minor things to take care of.

What a nightmare, not recommend. Cheap quality & overpriced. Terrible workmanship

House was left dirty. Dirt was left behind the washer cannot see. Dust on the window shelves Garage was dirty The edge was broken I have never seen this in any home I bought I bought 3 new homes in Chicago Never like this this was the worst experience

Washing machine when on the spin cycle bangs the side The Dishwasher started smoking on the first use. The floors in the master bedroom squeaks very loudly as if it’s an old house. Paint on the carpet and tiles was told they be back to clean up. Of course no one came.

It was hassle for to close my house plus finishing wasnt done properly. Last moment my closing docs was messed up and i opened tickets to fix issues.

At the time of the initial walk thru, there was no electricity, therefore we could not properly inspect the home. There were many issues with this home, that simply is unsatisfactory for the price we paid. We are still in repair mode and to be honest, I don't wish to enter ticket after ticket for items that should have never existed in the first place.

I don’t even think there’s enough space here for me to tell you guys how horrible the experience was buying a Lennar home from the mortgage people that I am ashamed have access to my Social Security number to the workmanship that I am now living in a home that Hass to be redone. There was paint on the carpet. Things were not done complete walls were crooked. This house is been a nightmare And two months and I’m still waiting to have things done and planned to be fixed because I’m last on the list because I’ve already signed the closing documents.

Everyone from the first contact to the last contact and even after signing has been tremendously helpful and made the home ownership process super easy. Everyone was timely with their response to address concerns and any issues that arise. I'm greatful to have chosen Lennar for this new home journey!

The home has a nice floor plan and amenities. However, several customer care items remain incomplete. Customer Care contact is slow to respond.

Overall quality especially painting/caulking was poor. Everything was done in a rush. Did not have a good experience with our loan officer either. Learn to focus on your clients and not just mass producing homes for the most profit. Everyone on our street got a welcome home sign and balloons and we got nothing. Highly disappointed.

I’m surprise you ask. From day one there have been issues. Some resolved others still waiting and waiting. My current (but not least) issue is a situation whereby the way the roof is pitched , When it rains, the ground below becomes saturated and flooded by a deluge of water pouring off the roof. If it were concrete below, it would be a none issue but being dirt, it can only stand enough water before flooding and doing a surmountable damage to the ground below it. I have noticed there were many Sunrise model homes that had gutters installed to alleviate the damage done after each rain. I was lead to believe that Lennar installed the gutters to prevent further damage but am now told to ‘row a boat’. This is a serious enough situation that should be given careful consideration and not just poo poo it. Why is it that the homeowners have to spend considerable amount of money to fix Lennar’s cheap mistakes. Everything included ? Including the headaches. ! So in answer to your question, this has not been an enjoyable experience and as each occurrence a raise I tend to regret my choice of Home ... More

I would not recommend this home buying experience! Workmanship is not good and many things have to be resolved after moving into the new home. Stressful and disappointing situation! It's obvious Lennar is putting up homes as fast as possible and not caring about the finished product. I think after all things are resolved, we are hoping to love our new home. I just wish we didn't have to go through this process. The initial walk through should be a better experience as well as the day of closing. There are ways to make this experience better.

Kim , Home Sales Rep provided us an excellent support thru the nine month buying process and her support and services are very much appreciated.

My home buying experience was not pleasant. From the start representatives tried to force me to use Lennar financing and threatened that I could lose my deposit if I went with another lender. From there it got worse. My closings date was chosen by Lennar and it did seem like there was any coordination with the construction side. A week before closing I have my orientation and the electrical had not been tested so there were no lights or AC and the water had not been tested with we could do a proper walkthrough. The day before closing I spoke with a representative from the construction side and they told me the home wasn’t even 90% done yet. On my original closing date I arrived at the home to do a final walkthrough and there were holes cut out of my pantry wall because my water heater was leaking. The stove top was missing and my oven/ microwave was sitting on the floor. To make it worse. The plumber realized the fixtures on the bathtub were reversed. Since there is no way to access them he had to cut a hole in the dining room ceiling to access the supply lines. After that was fixed the turned the water on and water came gushing out of the ceiling. At this point the construction rep called his boss to look at the situation. I them received a call from the sales representative stating that they will give me $6500 towards my closing cost if I closed on that day but I wouldn’t be able to move in for 2 weeks. I replied that I would close only if they paid all closing cost at this point. They declined. The started the remediation to make sure no mold or water damage was evident. They had heaters and blowers on 24/7 for at least 4 days. I notified the sales representative that the electricity was switched over to my name 48 hours prior to closing as per the letter Lennar sent listing things that needed to be done prior to the closing date. The sales representative replied “ why did you do that. You haven’t closed yet”. So I send her a copy of the check list they sent me. Again they declined to do anything about it. I was stuck paying the electricity bill for the month that it took for them to get the house ready for the 2nd closing date. 2 days prior to the second closing date we did a final walk through and notated what needed to be fixed and today over a month and a half later I still have things that need fixing. ...

Low quality materials and half of the stuff we pointed out on the first walk through weren’t fixed .

I am extremely happy with my purchase. On August of 2022, I was notified by a Lennar Sales Agent Adam Barton that a home that may fit my family needs was available. He advised me of the price and immediately notified Melissa to see if the numbers would work. Melissa diligently started working on my case and came back with an more than outstanding result. Once Adam had me sign the purchase agreement, Melissa immediately started working on my case (lighting fast). With the hundreds of questions, I asked Melissa she was calm, cool, very patient, and answered all my questions with ease. With subsequent phone calls on a million more questions, Melissa was available extremely considerate of me being a first-time home buyer and answered anything I threw at her. Melissa was even there for me on her birthday. She was knowledgeable and I could tell from the sound from her voice she wanted this purchase to happen as bad as I did. When Morgan began to handle my case, her voice was respectful, outstandingly courteous, and refreshingly understanding. As with any mortgage process paperwork requested can be overwhelming and sometime scary for a first-time home buyer. Morgan put me at ease, she took the time to explain what was needed and why. Every time I talked to her, I was impressed about her knowledge, professionalism, and what I appreciated the most was her kindness. Again, I felt Morgan wanted me to have this home as bad as I did. I have lived in Florida for the last 12 years since I came home from Iraq. My wife and I have wanted to own a home since the first day we moved to this state. I know in my heart the Melissa and Morgan made this possible for my family. I now own my own home for my young children and their children to grow up in. Melissa and Morgan are the best assets you have at Lennar Mortgage. If there is an award, recognition program, or even customer satisfaction bonuses offered at your company I respectfully request for Melissa and Morgan be considered. These women deserve any positive recognition. I will never forget their kindness which has reflected so wonderfully on Lennar. Because of them, If I purchase another home in the future it will be with Lennar. ... More

Moving is really good but the responsiveness and the questions that were answered of the problems in the house after moving in was Lacking any real urgency or willingness to help navigate the issue

Absurd I've worked with various Construction Managers prior to closing only to be given lip service. Rushed to close and issues never addressed. Now post closing 2 months later still attempting to get items resolved. Truly bad experience all around.

Over a half a million dollar with the quality & workmanship of a motel 6. Home was dirty at closing, workers leave trash inside and outside your home. Paint chipping and peeling was left through the home. Door knobs and other fixtures falling apart. In order to have this repaired even one day after closing you must log on and submit work orders and wait. The cheapest & discontinued products were used (cabinetry, floor tiling, paint color and quality). Overall very displeased. Submitted anonymously because all of the defects have been repaired at my own expense. After having Lennar repair once I wouldn’t trust their poor workmanship ever again. ... More

If I could give negative points, I would put -5 points...From the beginning all the process have been a nightmare...The sale representative was completely unprofessional, I didn't receive any information from her except to the closing day when She was pushing me to sign the closing agreement but the house wasn't ready yet (No Gas meter, so we couldn't test the range, water heater and dryer). Then, during the final walk-thru we discover at least 20 issues that needs to be fixed before the closing date, but they didn't do it. Now, I request a warranty services because a couple issues in my house but It was a nightmare as well. I wouldn't recommend to a friend or family buy a Lennar House in this moment. I have gotten the worst service in my life. ... More

Lennar is nothing special. They claim to strive to build all homes as good as the model, but that's not the case. While the structure itself is good (according to our home inspector), the quality of everything after the drywall was installed is sub-par at best. Lennar throws these houses together and doesn't care about the finished product - they just want to get on to the next house so they can get paid. The lack of attention to detail by these tradesman is insane, and furthermore the fact that we had to identify certain things (such as a mismatched window, damaged cabinets) is crazy. We've had so many issues with the quality of the items and have had to put in numerous work orders. Some have been taken care of and others we were told Lennar doesn't handle after closing. It's hard to catch all the issues during the new home orientation when you only have 90 minutes to go through a 3000 sq foot home to mark issues. Our customer care rep, Rich, has been top notch and very responsive but he can only do so much because of Lennar's policies. I will also say that the GE appliances that Lennar selects are incredibly cheap. The dryer and range are ok, but the refrigerator is not great and the dishwasher feels like it's going to fall apart; it resembles a children's toy. They also chose a 3.8 cubic foot washing machine for a 5 br house. We already bought a new washer and sold the one from Lennar. Another frustration I have is Lennar didn't even install street lights in our part of the neighborhood, while Casa Fresca and West Bay have installed street lights in unfinished parts of the community. How Lennar missed this is beyond me. The main reason we went with Lennar was because of their warranty, which was significantly longer than West Bay and Casa Fresca. Other than that, it's nothing special. Not sure I'd build with Lennar again. As I told their higher up folks on the construction side, we weren't expecting a custom build, but we were expecting quality and things done right. That didn't happen here. And I can tell you that in speaking with neighbors, they've experienced similar issues. So this isn't a one time thing. ... More

Lack of workmanship is overwhelming. My laundry room ceiling is unfinished because they installed the AC unit before finishing the ceiling. Now I’m being told they can no longer do anything about it. Some of the numerous items on the punch list were not completed before closing and now I’m expected to oversee the completion. All that was needed was a Certificate of Completion to make us close. Our unit was in no way ready at closing and feel that Lennar took advantage of the situation.
