Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

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.

Lennar does, under no circumstances, care about its buyers. They knowingly (construction manager admitted it) cut corners to get homes done in time. They then fail repeatedly to schedule contractors to fix the cut corners. Sales is an entirely different nightmare.

I submitted warranty requests more than 20 days ago, still haven't heard back from Lennar. Family room marble window sill still broken in two pieces. BTW, no one ever lived in this townhouse. All the defects are caused by the builder or sub-contractor.

The house was not finished but was told it would be after two weeks of closing.How to make multiple phone calls to get a ceiling fan in an additional Outlet in garage. The floor was an atrocious after touch up painting was done. Also pointed out additional spots were touch up paint need to be done this was not completed either. The floor was notoriously gross and had to call and Stanley steamer to get the floor done this was a battle with Lennar. I would recommend having everything done prior to signing papers and not putting anything Off. Denise a sales lady was the most helpful.

New Home buyer please do not do with Docu sign procedure, never get chance to review purchase documents. Sales person high light few things and get you to sign documents, once documents sign and if we question about things to be done in the house, we will get to hear that you sign documents!!!

Make sure you get everything you were promised

Keep the right prices and use it a good material also let the customer shows the designer

They lied to me. They didn’t make the buying experience feel special. They ignore you when you need issues solved. We got yelled at by the painters and the construction manager did nothing about it.

Sales Agent did not disclose property was in a flood zone. Lennar Mtg Rep figures was way off and was not meeting VA guidelines. Was forced to sign punch list stating everything was completed to be able to close. If punch out list not signed it would cost the us the buyers. Lennar promised to complete the pending items on the list from April 2021 and it is now August 2021 and we are still waiting after several request made. Very disappointed with Lennar and will never refer Lennar to anyone.

Two days after we moved in, we found the bottom of our kitchen cabinets were wet. We contacted Lennar right away and they left us without water for 24 hours and drilled through the concrete to find the leak. Three weeks later, it turned out there was another leak which was the result of an unconnected AC pipe from the second floor, flooding the kitchen for a month. Lennar only blamed their contractor, Bayonet Plumbing, the entire time. 30+ people came in and out of our brand-new home for a month, leaving us impossible to stay home due to the construction in the kitchen.

Although this should have been one of the most exciting times in our lives....it was ABSOLUTELY the worst. If you buy a Lennar home be prepared for whole bunch of promises on the front end (before you sign) and be prepared after you sign to fight with Lennar over EVERY single issue that you have. (The warranty) Also, they switch up the rules for what they promised in order to meet THEIR needs and not YOURS!!! No one wants to take responsibility and they like to pay pass the buck. I strongly recommend getting a home inspection before the drywall goes up... it might save a lot of mental stress on your end. Also, document EVERYTHING!! ……….. I do LOVE the neighborhood I live in.... but buyer beware. ... More

Lennar focuses on quantity rather than quality! I moved in my new home in September and have had nothing but issues! I would never recommend a Lennar home to anyone.

I feel the homes finishing was rushed and small important details overlooked and the KNOWOLOGY group is the worst. Slim to no response to resolve issues and lack of info and guidance

Look elsewhere.

Closed two months ago and almost every single week after closing, we experienced issues with the house where we had to call the builder to send contractors out to make corrections. For the price we paid for the house, this is truly unacceptable.

Lied about the community being quiet . Anything but considering legal action. Quality of appliances and cabinets are trash .

Closing took over 10 hours, delayed 4 times while I waited in a U Haul. Nothing was fixed that was asked for. None well return phone calls. 2 months later we still can't get mail. Workers speed up and down the road plus trash keeps blowing in the yard. Can't reach HOA about rules.

I went through different models and they all had white cabinets. I was told I was getting white cabinets, got gray. Was told to bad, you signed the contract. This is what you get, there are no options. Was told if I wanted a custom build, I had to go to a custom builder. I moved in and was trying to get cable hooked up, which is part of the HOA and there was a problem. I spent all day leaving messages and not once was called back. Finally at 4:30 I found someone who guided me in the right direction. Found beer cans in my cabinet while they were still building. Which explains some of the shoddy work done. When I moved in the floors were filthy, windows dirty, grout dirty, line of ants climbing up an outside wall into AC pipe. These are all things noted during the walk-through. I didn’t move in until two months after my closing, I was on a trip, and none of these things were taken care of. Cheapest appliances made. So if you want shoddy work and no choices about anything, which I was willing to live with a farmers sink, I wanted a split sink, which wall you are dictated to put your tv on, a tiny one car garage that you can’t put your golf cart and car in at the same time, which I find strange because it is a golf community, then Lennar is your builder. ...

House was not done at closing but was forced to close with no recourse. Once closed, was told to call the warranty depth. House was barely clean at closing. I still get emails requesting a signature on a document that I previously had signed 2 times. I've previously purchesed 2 new construction homes and thus was by far the worst. Not happy at all.

Of course you don’t want last names.. everyone would give the same negative review for the same pitiful construction manager Aaron. There’s not point going on about my experience with Lennar, no one above cares to fix their problems. I just hope EVERYONE I share my experience with turns away from Lennar and saves themselves the headaches! Listen to your friends when they tell you stay away from a Lennar home!!!

Probably the worst craftsmanship I have ever seen. When you complain about it they basically tell you to close or they will fine you. It has been almost 2 months they still haven’t fixed drywall, paint, tiles, cabinets. James, Kyle, Stephanie all bad. They want the sale and that’s it. Kyle has to be the worst. Took go through the house and see the terrible job and put a stamp of approval is terrible what they do to the consumer. But as the manager Stephanie (I think her name was) it’s all about closing on homes for the investors. They’re mentality is don’t worry about the product being put out just close as fast as possible. Go with a different builder ... More

Lennar is extremely unresponsive and quaility of work is poor. I would never buy from Lennar again. I just did a walk-through with BTI Parnters at Marina Pointe. Their attention to detail was night and day comparted to Lennar.

This was the most unorganized build I have ever had. I used Lennar mortgage and title, thinking it would help communications. However, none of them seemed to communicate nor even know what the other was doing. I had unbelievable issues at every step. My closing was a disaster of miscommunication and they ended up missing 2 pages for me to sign. Then hounded me to sign the pages and fedex them. I have very obvious damages, which were just ignored until after closing and are now “warrenty”. Including a dropped dryer with the back dented in. The grinding noise made me call GE. These are just a few of my issues. The local warranty man makes me very uncomfortable as he keeps asking to be invited to my hot tub. ... More

Lennar is horrible. Offered an outrageous interest rate. Had us do a walkthrough when the house was nowhere close to being ready. Rude and unaccommodating staff. Extremely stressful and disappointing experience.

Was really excited to buy my first home and everything seemed great at the beginning. That was about the only good experience. From the buying experience, to the build, to the close, everything was a nightmare and I would never recommend Lennar to my worst enemy. The title office called me as I was on the way to close telling me I owed more money, literally as I was driving there after being told multiple times I owed nothing more. "Glitch" in their system was the excuse. The house was unfinished when I moved in, and is still unfinished. Almost all of my kitchen cabinets are broken or missing, cracks in tiles, bathroom cabinets broken, showers unfinished, granite countertops not sealed, cheaped out on a bunch of materials that most of the neighborhood got but I didn't, because they "ran out of material" to do my garage floor, cabinet handles, brick wall outside, etc. The construction manager Travis literally told me he was going to fight me if he saw me outside of work because I told them they were doing a bad job after being patient for months and understanding all of their push backs and excuses for not getting the job done. The list goes on but this is just the stuff off the top of my head after being in the home for two months. Again, get as far away from this builder as you can. They hide behind their contracts and take ZERO pride in their work/customer service because they know there is nothing you can do to them after you sign your life away and give them the down payment. RUN. RUN. RUN. ... More
