Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

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.

Closing on the house was a stressful situation in itself. I've had several issues inside and outside of my house to include quality of craftsmanship and quality of material. My door frame has been split since before moving in but I could not see due to the builder painting over the split in the frame until recently due to opening/closing the door on a regular basis and the paint wearing off. The drainage in the yard has been an ongoing since I moved in.

They do not check houses, appliances, smart devices, etc. enough before closing. They think it is best to just wait for the buyer to complain after closing, and then they try to be “customer friendly” but they are usually too busy to take care of the many problems that should have been taken care of before closing, Most appliances our of the lower value.

I have emailed 5 or 6 times about our garage door. It makes alot of noises(snapping,groaning,clunking) plus if the button isn't held down it stops sometimes

Really wish they would've taken there time more. You can really tell the house was rushed with quality of workmanship. I would've liked to move into a new house and not a 90% complete house. The first month was nothing but people coming fixing holes, texturing walls, painting, stucco repair, washing machine flooding, two windows not opening, damaged cabinets, missing/damaged molding, etc. It was quite irritating having tradesman in our house fixing things on a house that wasn't finished. Unfortunately with my kids starting their new school 3 days after the scheduled closing we had no choice but to move in. Take a few extra weeks and give people a quality house. I wouldn't buy a Lennar again. ... More

I am a repeat customer with Lennar and this experience was not at all like my first one. So many things were wrong with the house and we purchased in May. I was built too fast and no one paid attention to details. I would not recommend Lennar to anyone

The road noise from w.lake bld. Should have been disclosed. This is a heavily traveled drag strip.the plastic fence does nothing for roads noise. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to purchase here. Also wasn’t disclosed that we don’t own the club house.

Not happy my experience with Lennar Tittle I do not recommend to buy with Lennar bc his Tittle company had a bad practices. More than one moth waiting for my money to pay my cards. Still any clue how to pay HOA fees. Any information how to do many things,

My bad experience was with Lennar Mortgage. With proof of employment, excellent credit and a generous down payment, they were not able to past the fact that my employer would not provide proof of remote employment. It was so frustrating that I paid cash for the house just not to have to deal with them. As far as the workmanship - overall, the house is fine but there are a list of issues where they just got lazy and did not check their own work.

If you are looking for a low-quality new home built by low skilled trades people Lennar is an option. Quality is below average, you are pushed to close regardless of the condition of the property.

Too much hidden information that you must frantically discover with no help. Attempts at contacting help always fail with no assistance. Most assistance comes from neighbors.

We had lots of issues…during framing we saw missing walls and closets. Holes made in the subfloor as well. After move in, it’s been a constant battle of fixing roof leaks, plumbing leaks, and workmanship issues. We wish we never bought this house.

Quality control and workmanship is below avarge and a lot of mistakes.Close on house and had to spend 1500.00 to have tile floors cleaned and not the only one.

This is my second time buying with Lennar. It started off great but all went downhill. They kept pushing our closing out (understandable with new construction) but the worst was when we were scheduled for our new home orientation and we got a call less than 30 minutes beforehand when we were already almost there that the home wasn’t ready and our closing would be delayed (again). The construction manager was apologetic but I asked to speak to a supervisor and never got to. I had to keep following up for updates which was met with an attitude from Lennar. We were forced to do a very large earnest money deposit which we were afraid to lose. This caused us to sell our home early and move in with my parents so we would be ready because if we weren’t, we would lose that deposit. No consequences for Lennar not being ready, the unprofessionalism, or the horrible customer service. They moved our closing up a day because the hurricane was coming and agreed to fix some things that hadn’t been completed yet. They never did. They left us with dying grass they won’t replace now despite us taking great care of it. They are clearly building too many houses too quickly and don’t have the time to ensure they’re taking good care of the homes or the buyers. ... More

they are pushing these houses out so fast that a lot of things aren’t finished by closing and the final product is rushed. workers don’t take pride in their work and very sloppy. glue on floors, paint on tile and granite. Paint not even finished in some areas. no pride taken in their work and appears they are hiring people who don’t really know how to built. pieces being cut to small and still using those pieces. my cabinets have dents in them, like they had been dropped and still used. cracks in floor before moving in. door knobs don’t work right. sockets and lights put on crooked and not leveled. like they rushed the workers so much they just threw the house together. closing date was moved up. just rushed so they can get another up and sell it. Poor quality. ... More

The home itself is a decent starter home. However, there was lack of communication throughout the entire building process as well as promises for things that were not kept. Plans changed without relaying of information. We still are having difficulty with communication and the houses was “completed” 10/31/2022.

Even small basic request were not considered/ denied during construction process . Inspite of saying we will bear the cost for the materials.?for example drilling a hole in the kitchen tile prior to putting up tiles. It’s not easy for us to do it now and more expensive to break things open. We paid over the asking price, I wish Lennar rep was able to consider such small request… backyard grading is pathetic . We purchased the lot so that we have enough space for kids to play. With such poor grading and water getting stuck it’s not usable at all. The original date for closing was October to December but was completed in August. It seems very rushed and many minor things were overlooked. The person who did the walk through was not even from this community and had no clue on water source. The final walkthrough was scheduled for short window between closing and we had to rush through and sign the papers. Given a choice I would rather have these issues fixed and then signed final papers. The number of issues are overwhelming now and we are on hook to follow up with CM and warranty folks. Every fix needs scheduling and working around our schedules to accommodate. We are constantly worried that something else will break and we may not be covered by warranty every day. We had to deal with bugs inside the house for more than 2 weeks due to bad insulation. Despite complaining many times it was not handled in urgency. The dishwasher was never tested and we had to wait for 2-3 weeks for replacement. These are supposed to be taken care by the folks who inspected and given okay and not the homeowners responsibility after moving. ... More

Horrible closing experience. The construction manager didn’t even show up for the final walkthrough. We were scheduled to close at 1PM but closed on 12AM that same day. And the house has a bunch of issues that have not been addressed. Horrible organization and even worse communication.

Overall the process of booking home was smooth but after that it was a train wreck. Nobody, I mean nobody bothered to communicate when home would be completed. It was only after asking them almost once week they would reveal how long the delays are. My interest rate went up 50% during this time. What a shame. After closing, it took 6 weeks to take care of very minor issues. Things like paint touch ups took long time even though they were painting next door. I will think twice before buying from Lennar again.

The builder gave me the home with some problems that can be fixed easily, when I asked them to fix it, they refereed me to the home warranty, which was not fixed till now.

We had good experience from sales to closing process and then the final walk-through with the On-site Customer Care Manager. Everything was great until we had to submit a service request and dealt with a Lennar Customer Care Rep from Tampa Care center. This person became very hostile and rude when she couldn't answer my questions. Not only she yelled and accused me of yelling while I was speechless, she continued to bully me to shut me up. Very bad care services. I am very reluctant to deal with Lennar Care center now.

In my experience, buying the home was not the issue, it's been the follow up. Things like purchasing the home were explained clearly and upfront. Things like follow up about who to pay for the mortgage through Lennar the first month, how to pay the HOA, and how to get the key fob for the clubhouse or even where to get my mail from have been like pulling teeth!

There is a lot I could unpack here. 5 month delays, miscommunication, lack of communication, and being ignored. From sales to financing this entire team seems like no one has the right information...and those that do fail to communicate. The house itself is fine...but working with Lennar people is an exercise in frustration. They *say* they will answer your texts and return calls. They dont. They say welcome to the Lennar Family. Well this is a family that only sees each other on occasion and rarely speaks...

I’ve been overall pretty disappointed with Lennar throughout the entire home buying process, even afterwards dealing with issues that continue to arise. As I ask around, I hear more and more how Tampa area Lennar has a bad reputation and I wish I knew that coming in.

Never can get an answer from someone. They always have to ask someone else. Repairs are very slow to be fixed! Neighborhood needs to be taken better care of.
