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. ...

Many issues found after move in. Quality issues should be addressed quickly.

We were not disclosed the Villa fees upfront. House was not complete on closing day. As well as many repairs needing to be done upon move in.

finishing of corner areas and fine points sub-standard. shower had to be re-caulked after a few months. bath tub is noticably not square. i measured it 1/2" off. the dividing wall between shower and tub is also crooked. noticable gaps between floor and bathroom cabinets. House was not cleaned prior to move-in. Window holes are also not cut square. Just waiting for something major to break as AC units, washing machines, and crown moldings issues are already happening in other homes in the neighborhood. Side yard sod was destroyed during the installation of the next door house. Someone threw down some sod, but it's not as nice as before. Garage door had a dent that was never addressed even though I contacted our "guy." Too many to write. ... More

My experience so far has been pretty OK, until I move into my home and see how they respond with taking care of items that are still outstanding as far as the punchlist goes and then I can give you my honest opinion but right now so far so good.

Very confusing, offers of help were hollow

Long lengthy super stressful process would not recommend

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.

I found it extremely frustrating that the walk thru time is dictated by lennar and not the buyer. I asked them to send me a calendar invite and was told " we don't do that". My experience with david weeklyvwas amazing and they worked with the buyer. Lennar has a very military like feel to the home buying experience. I wanted a different front door and was told no, I wanted different colored cabinets and was told no. " we at lennar don't do that" is what I was told. In my humble opinion Lennar is a turn and burn company in regards to their buyers. Lennar just cares about the sale. However my driveway is too steep and I filled out a complaint online and a gentleman named Josh contacted me the next day which exceeded my expectations and they are fixing my driveway. But now I have to buy a new front door on a brand new house, I have to buy brand new cabinets on a brand new house. None of this happened with David Weekly, the buyer was in control and valued. ...

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 house itself is nice and a good value for the money. The process of buying the house from the mortgage lender all the way through the celebration and acceptance had MUCH to be desired. Issues riddled throughout the entire process. Warranty claims had to be reopened because they were incorrectly denied. Several issues were found during the celebration walk and none of which were addressed before the home acceptance. The only person that kept their word through the entire process was the sales agent, Dennis. Even when I told him of some of the issues that I was having he jumped right in to assist with getting things resolved even though it was not his job to do so. All in all I love the house. I just wish I didn't have so many problems during the purchasing process and fighting to get repairs completed. ... More

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
