Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

the quality of home is not up to the mark, closing was rush. There are many things that are not fixed, done, or ready upon the closing of the homes. After moving in, a lot of issues were found and took almost a month to fix most of things.

So many issues they don’t want to fix! Beware and hire home inspector before signing at closing

Write everything on exception list, do not close if you aint satisfied. Lennar warranty is a mess. Construction managers are worse.

Very bad experience home took forever to build at closing needed so many repairs close anyway because Lennar said things would get taken care immediately that’s not the case still waiting very disappointed

Very bad experience for all peoples in lennar

While the purchasing part was easy smooth and fun the moving in was the most stressful. I will explain why. I moved in with a lot of cosmetic issues. The paint was poorly done inside and out. Whoever touched up the paint did not use the same color and I have spots everywhere in the house. The guest bathtub had a giant Tiger claw scratch. The cabinet draw will not close. The dryer is dented as well as the microwave. The rugs had nails sticking up I cut myself numerous times. The painters left tape on lights and garage. A chunk of slab is broken off by the sliding doors. The weatherstrips are ripped on the garage door and front door. One of the blinds was put up Crooked. A piece of granite is chipped. I worked hard for the money to purchase this house I show not be going through all these issues. ... More

The sales rep was responsive and patient with all my questions as a first time home owner. Other than that I found the closing and move in process a disappointment. During new home walkthrough my house was a complete mess and not at all ready for closing. There was no paint or carpet, people were working where I was supposed to be inspecting, there were major electrical issues, the wash machine and dishwasher did not work, a worker even had food in the refrigerator and freezer. I was amazed at how much cracked and broken molding was in the house, and attempted to be covered up. Many of my concerns were addressed before celebration walkthrough. However it took over a month to get the key to my door in the garage and for a period of time my garage door was being opened by another home in the neighborhood, giving access to my home to anyone. Most things have been resolved, but for a new home buying experience this is not what I expected. ... More

There were things that we were satisfied with. In our final walkthrough some of the discrepancies were taken care, some were not. I understand the warranty section and having to wait until we got on the list to get those things fixed. But, the other stuff like touch ups that were marked with tape didn’t get taken care of. It’s not really a big deal because some of those things “we” as homeowners can fix on our own. But the things we pointed out that was wrong didn’t get fixed when we started moving our household goods in the house. The air conditioning units has been our biggest struggle. We registered them within the 30 days, but after that we had major problems. One AC until had its wires fried completely. And we were blamed by the technician, Bayonet, because he thought we were raising and lowering the temperature. That’s unsatisfactory because we had only been in the house a little over 30 days. The other stuff of having to redo caulking and fix broken towel hangers doesn’t bother as much. It’s the major electrical issues…HVAC, AC units that have me concerned. ... More

My experience was pleasant. At first I was very concerned bcz of all the YouTube videos I watched but thank God I didn’t have any issues at all. My loan officer was really good and she helped us get through the process with no issues. I am very happy with my experience with Lennar.

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.

Don't like the experience in the warranty agents. They are not responsive.

There are no Bathroom Accessories so I had to buy all of the items in the two Bathrooms after the sale. Also, the Warranty people have been slow to repair a water leak. It was reported 6 weeks ago and still has not been resolved.

Terrible experience moving in. I will never buy from Lennar or reccomend to anyone after this horrifying experience.

Everyone has been extremely helpful and understanding especially since we’re not computer literate. Would be great if there was another method for computer dummies like me. Home is beautiful, personnel have been very accommodating when it comes to our needs.

1. Even though we reported these issues during pre-drywall inspection, none of those were fixed 2. Forced us in a threatened way to close the house even without fixing the reported issues. 3. I fell and tripped in the room because of pulled out carpet, frames and closet doors left in the room without any safety concerns. 4. Multiple meetings and multiple people come in and go to look at the issues. This affected my work and personal life significantly in a negative way. It is unacceptable and negligent on their part to let us suffer this long.

The bottom line is that Lennar has grown out and failed to grow in. This unprecedented market unfortunately promulgates an attitude of quantity over quality. It’s blatantly apparent from nearly top to bottom. I would challenge Lennar to truly look at satisfaction ratings of the entire Bryant Square community. There HS absolutely a systemic failure that needs addressed. The most efficient, caring and compassionate entity was with Megan and Morgan in the loan Dept as well as the closing process. Other than that, I will never buy another Lennar home. I am not alone in this opinion.

I'm having a difficult time giving a great review due to some of the issues that, we are going through. Poor craftsmanship, bad painting, bad sod, and the list goes on. I had a better experience in Nevada in 2009 when I purchased my first home from Lennar. Sorry they need to hire better professionals.

I never expected the following from the Lennar a reputed builder! 1. We were told that the house will be closed by October-November of 2021. But the house was closed on April 28, 2022. The 6 months delay. 2. The house was not ready at the time of closing. We were forced to close the home on closing day since me moved from out of state. The new closing date would have been 1-2 months later. 3. The quality of workmanship is poor with lots of issues. 4. Lennar still have to fix the issues with drywall, electric wiring, garage door, kitchen cabinets, carpet, painting, plumbing etc. 5. Due to delay in closing, our home mortgage interest was increased by 2.25% which increased our monthly mortgage payments. 6. Except James the sales person, no one responded to our phone calls and messages in timely manner. I hope Lennar would compensate us for all the pain and embarrassment we are going through. ... More

After a month, I am still cleaning Grout and painting on the tile.

Happy to be a lennar family in connerton

Issues from start to finish. Deadline was off by 6 weeks, major incomplete projects after closing, NO timely responses, several points have to be deducted for quality of craftsmanship and supplies.

I have over one month trying to fix cracked curbing in front of house. Watched as other homes still being built had their issues fixed while my request go ignored only because our home was already turned in to us. I have videos and pictures and will contact news outlets if necessary over this workmanship and lack of service.

Lennar was a great builder back in the day. The process was lengthy but that was expected. The wall paint is awful. The trim needs work and no one fixed the issues, which is unacceptable. No one will fix the issue since me and my wife signed the dotted line. Lennar knew of the issues. Tiles are not correct, the floor squeaks and they say it was done correctly. The rug isn't professional. My feet sink in the carpet to where I feel the hard floor. The lights on the ceiling fell and this is a new build, nothing should be giving me issues. The trim doesn’t meet together…..another issue that was brought to their attention; however it was not addressed. If I could rate responsiveness to the issues outlined in the wall through….. I rate a zero or negative 1. For a first time homebuyer, Lennar isn’t the ones to go to. Folks, do research prior to choosing a company to build your home. Sorry for the poor review but it’s my honest observations. The build happened so quick. With so many issues. Lights falling from the ceiling on a new build is poor building…… I’m not a builder but anyone that sees the quickness of this build say it’s terrible quality. Paying over 200k, I expect better quality. ... More

Be prepared to pay more than advertised. Option costs are not included in web pricing and every house gets option adds. Be prepared to pay more the day you sign a contract. Our home went up mysteriously $10K the night before we were scheduled to sign a contract. Dishonest business practice. Fit and finish is something to be desired. If you are OK with no screens on patio doors, no gutters, permanently mounted toilet paper holders too small to hold toilet paper rolls, poor concrete work, lowest grade carpet and padding you can find, no outside lighting over the garage door, a garage too small for most SUVs and pickups, a two-car garage that can really only handle one car, no storage whatsoever, crammed into 5 feet of separation between you and your neighbor on both sides, narrow driveways, and narrow streets, then this is the perfect home for you. Once you move in, you just start noticing these things. ... More

When we did the inspection few days before closing, the irrigation system broke. So Lennar turned it off. This killed our lawn because no water for the grass. Lennar promised us that they will take care of the lawn and irrigation system. What they did was let the irrigation water the grass everyday and the running time was very long. The front and back yard turned to paddle, wasted a lot water. The water bill for the first month was more than 600 with no one live in the house. And the house was very dirty, some construction waste left inside the garage. We have to hire the cleaner to clean the house before move in. We send email to Lennar and don’t get any response. ...
