Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

So many problems, but the biggest one is that my brand new house that I closed less than 2 months ago, now has diffused mold in the kitchen and a water leak under the concrete. I can't even move in even though I'm about to make second mortgage payment.

Where to start? Immediate leak from upstairs kids bathroom the first time one of them took a shower. Leaked down into the bottom floor soaking insulation. Still waiting five weeks later for it to be fully fixed so my daughter can have her on room back, so we don’t have large holes in her wall and the downstairs ceiling. Whoever put in the grass cared nothing about people safely mowing their lawns. The first time I mowed (after Lennar didn’t for three weeks), I took chunks out of the blades in the lawnmower because large chunks of cement and thick gauge wire were left in the yard. Related also to the yard, one of your folks planted a palm tree right on the property line, so we’ll have to put up the fence over the property line. Amenities inside the house are sparse. We’ve already spent. $5000 more to have ceiling fans and central room lights installed- those should’ve been installed during construction. The dishwasher and washer feel cheap and are. The dishwasher doesn’t dry dishes and the washer is needlessly loud and I’m guessing not energy efficient based on our first month’s bill, but they could also be related to large holes in the wall and ceiling. Your HOA oversteps its boundaries. We got a landline for my wife’s elderly mother so she could call relatives in her native South Korea. I was told by your provider we must ASK PERMISSION for each country we wish to call. I don’t need, nor intend to ask permission. It is a service provided to us and I don’t need or want intrusive people deciding where we can and can’t call. I will not recommend any friends purchase a home from Lennar in Pearl Estates. The lack of quality control, cheap furnishings and HOA have made our purchase a mistake. ... More

Lack of communication between departments. Not flexible. A lot of issues with the house. Cheap materials

Not professional , not informed correctly , bad communication . I’ve dealt with builders in the past and did not experience what I have experienced with Lennar . Their finance team is no good

We selected Lennar because it was building homes in the area we wanted to live. No other builders really had inventory in our our price range and timeline. What a mistake! Worst experience I've ever had. They were late completing the home. The mortgage division is incompetent. They cost us thousands of dollars due to their mistakes.

Not a good experience with the sales manager and her forcing us to close on the house to meet month ends numbers when repairs and gas line leak needed to be fixed. They threatened that if we didn't close even though there were major issues that they would put us in default and we would have to pay late fees. For our initial walkthrough the home was a mess, wasn't cleaned and debris all over but wanted to close on time and blame us despite these issues

Home was supposed to be completed in 5/2023 which is the reason we selected the property. We were then told it would close in June 2023. We coordinated the sale of our residence to coincide with the closing date in June. The closing was then pushed out to July 2023. We did a walk through of the property several days before the closing and marked numerous items that needed to be repaired (cracked tiles, cracked pavers, exterior issues, dead landscaping, missing sod in numerous places, missing blinds, bugs, not cleaned, missing caulking, drywall issues, holes in concrete, etc). We were told they would be completed by closing. Only a couple of the minor issues were completed. We closed because we had closed on the sale on our home and had no place to go. We were assured the items listed during the walk through would be completed asap. To date we still have a lengthy list on things that have not been completed and since moving in we have found more items. Not a pleasant experience since it seems that once you sign a contract and put down the deposit they do not communicate with you or misinform you. The lack of communication and lack of responsiveness throughout the company is shocking. ... More

Make sure you are getting the whole truth about the fees that are charged here. There are 3 different accounts: 1 - $180.00 the second fee is $237.01 the third B is $112.00. We were told everything was covered under the $180.00. But it isn’t so buyer be aware of what you are told. Next time I will get everything in writing with signatures. Trust me no one wants to make this mistake right.

I am very disappointed in the quality of work. There were so many issues with the house prior to my closing it was a very sad day by no means not a happy day. And still dealing with issues that should have been done right before closing. I would not refer anyone to buying a Lennar home in this community. Everyone that I have had the pleasure meeting has said that they have had nothing but problems. This is not a good thing coming from others and the workers say we do what we get paid for what does that tell you. I have had to spend a lot out of my own pocket to get the work done the right way. ... More

Started off with a leak before closing and it’s been 2 months after we closed and it’s still not fully rectified. It takes numerous follow ups on our part to get anything moving. The warranty team has been the only competent people during this process and I do thank Stephanie and Shaun. Neighbors next door smoke detector goes off at least once a week for hours showcasing the material in the homes isn’t great quality. HOA is impossible to get ahold of and annoyed when you do reach out with questions. Homes seem rushed and once it’s thrown together it’s pretty obvious the areas they just completely missed or completed incorrectly. ... More

Is the worse experience I had, water was coming inside the house when raining through the windows I reported to everyone and my husband had to fixed almost a month and nobody has follow up this issue. The house was with the tapes pending things to be fixed and dirty at the time of the walking through before closing. I am still waiting….BAD.

Home was delivered 1 year late with very poor craftsmanship and little quality control. House was not delivered in moved in condition and was very dirty. Craftsmanship is equivalent to DIY. Uneven flooring, cracked tiles, cracked grout, loose, rotted, moldy subfloors, missing cabinetry, electrical issues, crooked walls, sloppy paint and trim work.

My experience with Lennar has been quite disappointing. Despite being promised that all pending tasks would be completed prior to closing, several important items were left unfinished. They were in a rush to close all the homes by November and there was no focus on completing the work before closing. The closet doors were not fixed, shower rods were not installed, the painting was not done to a satisfactory standard, and there were drywall cracks and partially painted lanai door. I would not recommend purchasing a home from Lennar. They did not demonstrate a customer-centric approach and their responsiveness declined once the closing was completed. Despite repeated attempts to follow up on the unresolved issues, the builder seemed disinterested in resolving the matter. I strongly advise against purchasing a home from Lennar. It may cost a bit more, but it would be worth considering other builders such as MI Homes or Pulte Homes. It is important to thoroughly research the options and make an informed decision before entering into a deal with Lennar. ... More

Bad quality materials. Not value the money.

House was left dirty. Dirt was left behind the washer cannot see. Dust on the window shelves Garage was dirty The edge was broken I have never seen this in any home I bought I bought 3 new homes in Chicago Never like this this was the worst experience

Terrible customer service! Pressure to close on home when not ready. Told us to move form 4 states away that it was ready to move in. It was still rough, not finished. Had to live in hotel for a couple of weeks after closing. Poor responsiveness from managers. Shabby finish work. I will never buy from Lennar again and will do my very best to warn future customers.

Many details in the Townhome and very poor effective attention

Was literally told during NHO walk I cannot postpone closing as home was not completed. Here we are 65 days after closing with same issues from NHO walk. Constantly told things which are lies,

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.

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

Go with another builder! Lennar doesn’t build quality homes.

Lennar have no integrity. I still have issues with blue tape. Submit work orders and they are closed without being done. I will not recommend Lennar at all. From the sales representative (Jeannette Beltran)to, the person I did the new home orientation (Annisa) to the Construction Man. (Chris) no integrity, don't solve your issues. Rick is another one that keep calling me to make appointments and mever show up to fix the work orders. Lennar is a circus

Home building process not done in correct order causing more work appearance problems. Paint on driveway and patio pavers, paint drips on floors and walls, texture sprayed on our kitchen cabinets, no power to one of our bedrooms.

Exterior and interior construction was rushed and shoddy. Construction manager and supervisor lied so much to homeowners on what they've promised they were going to do. My cabinet has a cracked before moving in September and still waiting on replacement. Still waiting on lanai to be installed as well. It's almost February now and nothing has been done. They put so many tapes to all over the house to remind them which ones needed attention and all they did was took them off. Nothing has been done. I will never reccomend Lennar. What I will recommend is a class action lawsuit against them. ... More

I have worked with several other builders and this home buying experience with Lennar by far is the worst. Builder rushed closing when the house was technically not ready. Lots of issues were promised to be fixed by move-in and ended up taking over months. Severe plumbing issues were found and quality of workmanship and materials is way below standard. I will never buy another house from Lennar again.
