Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

Too many to list

The workmanship was poor at best, the sales staff and closing were a disaster, the follow up with repairs has been, let's just say a nightmare. Some things still are not fixed and if I had to guess are not going to get fixed unless I pay for someone to fix them. Everything included does not mean everything... but they fail to tell you what normal things are not included. I am afraid to see what is going t happen to this house in say 5 years, I think most mobile homes are constructed better.

Too many imperfections caused by fast and sloppy workmanship. The entire process is rushed from start to finish. Everywhere I look I find issues with finishing touches. We just moved in and we're already thinking about selling.

This was probably their easiest sale they had and even though i was very flexible with their demands it was not the same way from them. They moved my closing date without telling me juat days prior when they knew I had my airlines tickes purchased. They promised house will come with fans and it did not. Very disappointed about their service and how unflexible they were. Thwy sold a house so it is all what matters to them!!

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.

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

Terrible service from the sales person. Construction mgr was very responsive and fixed all issues.

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

I got my keys but didn’t get my garage door opener or my mailbox key. As a first time home buyer it was not only annoying but very difficult to deal with . I didn’t like the roughness and the figure it out mentality that I slowly came to realize. It was a very rushed process and I had to find out or contact them about my keys which should have been explained to me.

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!

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.

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

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

Extremely bad experience with construction manager , some of my stuffs are still not fixed that was promised to fix after closing Horrible experience with Lennar insurance Bad experience with Lennar mortgage HOA response time very late Over all response time late

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

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

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

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

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
