Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Lennar is the most unorganized company we have ever dealt with. Don’t ever buy a model home from them and always get the inspection.

Was left with dead SOD, every day I discover a new issue with the house. When I moved my stove there was a huge hole on the wall which I’m sure allows for uninvited guest (bugs) to make their way into the house. When we contact them for issues they don’t respond in a timely manner

I never take these surveys but always will for Lennar. Out experience has been atrociously poor. 1 star is not a low enough rating. Ridiculous amount of issues with house and horrible customer service.

From the day I bought this home it has been a disaster. On the day I bought the home they were an hour late at the title agency and didn’t even have a room for us to close in. Then we ending up closing on a fold out table with some random guy who farted in my husbands face. Then our mailbox key didn’t work for over two weeks and then they had to rekey the mailbox. When we called our sales guy he said this has been a issue with a lot of home buyers. Why weren’t we warned before we moved in? On top of that the quality of the home is mediocre. I have lumps in my carpet, my floor creaks, the paint rubs right off the walls, the tile in the master shower grout has come up all over, the shower door creeks. The list goes on, every time I contact my rep it takes days for a response and I honestly don’t think I will every buy a Lennar home again. I own two homes my other home was built in 1978 and I have never had an issue, I bought this new home and have had more issues that I can count. ... More

I would never recommend buying a home from Lennar. It was a nightmare from start to finish and still is to this day. The process took 3 agonizing months to close because their mortgage team had issues with us not being married or FL residents yet. Then we found a ton of things wrong with OUR BRAND NEW HOME. They made us do a new home introduction 1.5 months before we closed and then a month after we closed when we finally got to move in, we found a whole list of things that made our 800K home feel like a foreclosure home. I cannot take a bath in our tub because they have so much crap caked on the bottom of it from painting and whatever else they used, our appliances are rusting very bad, our floors are uneven and the furniture rocks back and forth. Poor quality and they rip you off on price. The home next to us (a townhome as well) sold for 300K less than we paid and they have more sq footage. I could go on and on but it’s not worth my time anymore to deal with them. My parents were going to buy a home as well and after our experience I told them to never buy a Lennar home. Thanks but no thanks Lennar. You couldn’t even send us our Key fobs. We had to drive an hr and back to pick them up. Real classy ... More

A number of items brought to the field supervisors attention were ignored or he said he would "take care of the" and then ghosted us and did nothing to complete and repair items. Ex: missing trim pieces, delaminated cabinet shelf, vanity cabinet door chipped, mulch missing around palm trees, trees blown crooked by the hurricane (which hit 2 weeks before closing) chipped floor tile. drywall mud and paint on outlets and switches, overhead garage door not closing properly, interior doors not painted on top and bottom per mfg. warranty requirement. The quality of install on many items is so poor the only fix would be to demo the items and reinstall. Ex: doors not plumb, uneven floor tile. The paint on the walls and trim is incredible low quality and the paint job itself is messy, sloppy, uneven and of the lowest quality I have ever seen. ... More

horrible deceptive terrible experience poor construction work could not care attitude it is all about the money

Company has been absolutely horrible since moving into the house. I’ve been here for less than a month and a half. I’ve had a roof leak due to my vents not being installed properly. I’ve had breakers go out. I’ve had things not sealed and also I’ve had a hole open up in my lanai. Trades people have been scheduled to come out they no-show customer service reps also ghost you when you try to get a response out of them. I paid 421K for my house and Jesus Christ. I can’t believe paying that much money gets you such bad customer service Lennar is a horrible company. Do not buy go elsewhere.

Please check everything very carefully before accepting house. There are many issues in the house and warranty sucks. Please stay away from purchasing Lennar if you have other builder options. Lennar delivers poor quality house. Also their sales and construction team is very irresponsible and careless. They usually don’t listen and deliver on promises they make to customers.

Ive scheduled my first payment to be electronically sent to Lennar Mortgage on the 28 October 28 2024 because it's due 1 nov 2024. They didn't inform me that th loan had been switched to a different loan company. Only the escrow payment made it to the my first payment. This is fraud!

If I knew what I know now I would not have purchased this home! This has been the worst experience! Starting with the Mortgage Company forward! The mortgage experience was the worst mortgage experience I have ever been through. Everything was so complicated and you never spoke with a person! This is not good for a 55 and over community especially! It was extremely frustrating and I spent 10 days looking at and signing documents online which was very difficult and I only had 28 days to pack up and get out of my house! No one ever contacted you by phone, only email and I couldn't sit there and look at my phone when I was trying to pack boxes. The entire mortgage process from start to finish was very frustrating. And now to continue, the walkthroughs were not good and items weren't taken care of and then I had two different people telling me items were going to be taken care of and here I am 8 weeks later and they're still not done! The warranty process is horrible because everything is online and you get a message that some number item is scheduled for an appointment and you don't know what it is for and who the vendor is and you can't reschedule it because you can't call them. And just today I had one appointment cancel and the other one just not show! This has been the worst home building experience I have ever had and I've built a few homes. I'm extremely disappointed and disgusted in that times have thought about not even finishing unpacking and getting out of here! I can't even unpack my clothing because my closet wax are falling off of the wall! I have clothing all over my house and I can't even get settled because of it! I kept putting off doing this survey but you keep sending it to me so now you have your survey! And I am not the only one that feels this way. And everybody passes the buck! It's nobody's job and it's not the HOA and it's not Lennar and nobody fixes or takes care of anything and my property looks disgusting because it's supposed to be taken care of and it's included in my fees and it looks horrible! I have dead grass and dead trees and dead plants and no one ever shows up to take care of it and what I have in my yard is weeds instead of grass! And trees that fell over and it's nobody's job to fix them! I'm extremely frustrated! ... More

I was really excited to start the process of buying a home with Lennar Homes. Throughout my homebuyer process, I was somewhat clueless of what to expect. The person that I spoke to initially, which I thought it was my Realtor, rushed me through the initial process to take a down payment within the first day of meeting her. I was only shown two homes Which the first was already sold and the second was the last available so I was told. I was told that I would be walk-through the whole process if I had any questions or concerns I could reach out to my her, Jennifer. Jennifer was absolutely no help. She was only looking to make her commission from the sale. I only really spoke with her once. She knew I was a first time homebuyer in my whole story and I thought she was trustworthy enough to help me throughout the process. She was not at all. Even after purchasing the home throughout the stressful process with all the other agents that I spoke with about the mortgage loan, I have yet to speak with her. Each time I reach out to her I either get no answer or I have to communicate with someone else that has no clue of any information to provide to me as well. The mortgage officer is were very rude as well. I know it is a stressful job, but the point of the Realtor is to take the stress off the customer and the mortgage officer . Neither department was effective, sympathetic or compassionate . They were all rude and demanding and completely unfortunately Uncompassionate to the process . The construction of the home was thrown together. I’ve had many issues since the start with electrical and plumbing. Again, I have yet to be able to speak with my realtor about this because she has not returned any of my calls. The warranty department seems a bit sketchy with Lennar homes as well. Thus far, I have not been completely satisfied but making do because I’ve set myself up for failure for a $300,000 home that really isn’t even worth 75,000. They say when you know better you do better, I only plan to stay in this home for maybe the next two years and then I will be selling. I thought this would be my forever home, But at this rate, it does not look like it will be. Lennar should have Realistic realtors that are really willing to work with first time homebuyers, Or any homebuyers that is. Explain the full process and detail what to expect and what is included. They should not be so concerned about the commission that they are going to make either way. I was told by Jennifer that if things were not correct, and I was not happy then I would become her headache that far. It seems like she’s been avoiding me by dodging my calls and never being in the office whenever I stop by. Not to mention that I’ve been in Home for almost 5 months now and I’m just now getting a mailbox key that works and our mail is just now being delivered. We were distributed other peoples keys and had to run down the office to get the keys corrected. There are millions of homes in this neighborhood and each person had a different person’s key. I can only imagine how much of my mail had been stolen if it was ever even delivered. The recreation center took forever to be completed and has still yet to be fully completed. Are key cards still do not work appropriately And the pool is never clean. Things with Lennar should be more transparent than they are. All in all, I am not happy with my service or my home, but I guess I will make do since I am stuck here. ... More

Worst experience ever, i would leave any stars if it was possible

The amount of cosmetic defects and the amount of time it has taken to fix these issue has been the worst experience of my house buying experience. We were rushed through the final walk through a lot of things were missed and the whole process just felt rushed! From the financial stand point all the way through closing. Miscommunication with the entire staff from sales to closing escrow agents. Worse experience ever. Never again will I get a Lennar home

Closing was a nightmare , got ripped off , house is not built for storms

Do not buy any homes from Lennar. You will retreat . Horrible

Buying a house with Lennar was the worst experience I ever had. I started the process June of 2023 and didn’t move in until the end of April of 2024. My new home consultant was the worst poor communication, he lied every chance he got, then he quit just two weeks before I had to close on the home. His manager knew the issues that were going on and barely helped. She was provided all text message and emails and was shocked how he spoke to me, but nothing was ever done. Come to find out it was a known issue with the new home consultant many people suffered because of him. How Lennar Conduct business is awful. Very poor communication. They treat clients like garbage. I did ask for my down deposit back I was told no that if I don’t purchase with Lennar, I’ll never be able to own my own home. If I could go back in time I would not purchase a home with Lennar. ...

I have a list of things that never got completed yet. Said will be right back that was four months ago. I could go on and on and on. Will never ever buy another Lennar home and will stop anyone who I hear say that they're looking at Lennar.

DO NOT buy from LENNAR! They are the MOST unreliable, RACIST and worst people to work with. We are first time home buyers and they made the process extremely difficult for us to purchase a home. We also felt that some of the people involved in our home buying process were very prejudiced and racist and they contributed to the difficulties that we experienced throughout the process. They did EVERYTHING they could to try to ensure that we didn’t get a home. Their loan officers are THE WORST! Please save yourself the heartache. Their homes are cheap and you end up having to take care of things that should’ve been taken care of during the walk-through and after. ... More

Lennar mortgage is the worst! I may NOT purchase Lennar house in the future purely because of the terrible loan officer from Lennar. I have submitted my complaints about my loan officer and nobody has ever contacted me.

My experience moving her was not a pleasant experience when I first came here to look at the home that I picked it didn't have a stair way it had a hallway and that's not what I got no communication in progress also my house my jack up I really don't care for purchasing any home with them again no one can help you get a clear understanding also we were told if u put down a certain amount if we didn't get approve 250 will be deducted from that and would get the rest back it was my son he is un the military and they say he wasnt approve so they did FHA how about that was a lie my husband didn't wanted to go thru with it and was told if we could not get our money back after they say my son wasn't approve by him self the whole thing is they played with how to suckered u in also I got my water bill and it's so bad they run the water everyday and that bill I had to pay and called and spoke to different number and everyone telling me they don't know anything and can't help me I even text the young lady that did our first walk thru dead end with her I even send Aneese a picture about the bill she told me she would see what they can do when she took it to her boss brook told me nothing no help hunter no help at all no one helped me so I got force into paying a water bill and I moved in on the 19 of January cause I still had a other apartment that I was Still paying to finish out my lease all this was told to brook also they put a rush on this house cause the guy that did our second walk thru said they told him house had to be ready by January 9 and he said that what he did what they say and if they did stated a later Time he could have done that and I wouldn't have to pay all that money and my monthly payments would start later like I say no help at all bad experience for me in buying a home with lennar so don't send me no more reviews to rate you guys just leave me out of your reviews cause not good for me bad experience it could've been more star's no communication after you are sold a house everyone that you communication with doesn't even check on you call you before they called text email now no one is helping you be more fair with ur customer not because you sold a house when they called for help with certain things and the same wall you hit you keeping hitting it cause they don't have answers for you ...

Bad experience cheaply done work. Lots of problems but builder still wanted to close be fore fixing them . Also after removing there cheap carpet there was lots of dirt paint and construction trash under pad was not even clean up . Then all the closet shelves were not attached to studs fell down with my wife’s clothes on them and she got hurt. Also had to fix a wall outlet box when removing found beer cans and soda pop bottles in the wall with liquid in them and ants were already starting to make a home were there was food and sugar . Bad builders stay away!!!

I have purchased 7 homes in the past 31 years and this by far was the worst experience I have ever had with a builder, from the start to close. I had to postpone the closing because what they called a finish home was not what the general public would consider finished. And the even managed to screw up the closing when it came time for that process. I flew my wife in from NC just for the close and we could not and would not close based on condition of home. I would never recommenced a Lennar home to anyone and my now neighbors feel the same way. Do not purchase a Lennar home their customer service is the worst and this includes issues with their so called warranty staff after the move in. ... More

Cannot write a positive review yet. Once we get all the promise’s full filled and issues repaired, I look forward to writing that review.

Angeline 55+ Community has the worst contractor follow ups. We closed on our home August 30, 2023 during the hurricane, therefore we were unable to do the final walk thru none of the items were fixed and they still are not fixed, we keep getting promises but nothing happens. The internet is the worst!!! I have little or no service in the house, they put the box in the furthest point in the home and it delivers a very weak signal. I have talked to customer service and they say there is nothing they can do for us it's the internet provider but Lennar provided an extended to other residents of the community at no charge but they told me that that is not offered anymore and it didn't come with our package!! Package??? we did not know it was an option, nor did we know that the internet would be a problem. Because of the lack of weak internet, our ring doesn't even protect our home! I work out of my home and rely on the internet! We will never purchase a home from Lennar again! ... More
