Lennar Reviews in Tampa St. Petersburg, FL

I have moved to three other new built houses in the past, this was the worse experience ever. From beginning to end- starting with the sales person, who did not know much, everything had to be asked to supervisor, she provided wrong information. I was told all the closing cost would be covered and it was not, I am still waiting for answers, since November 29th- closing date. My home was not completed when it was supposed to be, I had to move in to a house needed another week of work. As of now, there is still long list of items needs to be completed. To top all of these, home owners association made a mistake with the monthly payments and actual cost is around $80 more than what I was told. Worse ever................................. ... More

You have made my dream home a complete nightmare.

Home not finished after closing early Moved into home that was disgustingly dirty with little to no response Several things wrong with home

Horrible experience, will not recommend anyone to buy a Lennar home. Pressure their client’s to close on homes that are not finished and getting them to do any repairs is a hassle.

Sales lady wasn’t ethical. Charges were not disclosed upfront. The townhome wasn’t ready at the closing. Struggling to get the paint issues resolved after 2 months of closing. Poor workmanship

I have owned several homes in my lifetime. Some new builds and some resales. NEVER have had such a terrible experience as with this home. When I wasn’t being ignored; I was being lied to. I have done my best to patiently work through the Lennar process but at this point I am all out of nice.

My new house is a bundle of issues. Starting from the exterior to the the interior of the bathrooms every part of the issue had bunch of issues. There were so many bulges and dips in the every room whereever there is carpet. The issue was raised before closing and is not fixed yet. The carpet and the padding inside the carpet are so cheap. Beneath the carpet we found trash, the people who did that didn’t even care to vacuum the area before installing the carpet. The padding was not bound together which keeps moving when you walk, creating gaps. The framing is not flat. Every room has ups and dips. The carpet is not tucked well at the edges. The carpet in the model house is definitely twice as thick as ours. The exterior paint looks like it was not done by professionals. There is overage and gaps between the wood trims. The balcony floor has ups and dips which retains water after rain. There is a bulge in the dry wall of the master bed room. Faucets are cheap and each of them have different pressure levels. Landscaping looks like it was rushed.recessed lights in the loft area are put in at irregular places, and the list goes on. ... More

In the beginning we had a few hiccups but everyone was available and supportive; however the bad experience started on the first day of the walk/ through when I was told it had to be done on a particular day and many things were not completed in the home. Since that day it has been an unpleasant experience. I finally realized no one cares once you’ve signed on the dotted line.

I am not a happy Lennar Customer! Too many issues to list here. It's exhausting. Poor communication, paid way too much for the quality of the home--materials, appliances, workmanship, quality or lack thereof, slapdash finishes, severely poor responsiveness, lack of integrity and more. All of this wears you down and leaves you angry and stuck.

Hi, This is my third lennar home, but my experience of buying of third lennar home was really bad that I would never buy another home from lennar. I had primary home and investment home from lennar prior to this...they were forcing me to close home with open drywalls and lot of work pending. Can you imagine closing home and some attorney coming to your home on Saturday evening 9PM to close home ? They forced me to do this although still pending items. They said If I dont close it today I will lose my 10% security deposit and my interest rate will go up even my rate lock doesn't expire another 1 month. They said Will address all the pending issues next week but It has been almost 7 weeks and no one responds it. Even when I raise warranty ticket 1 week ago still no response. Lennar was never like this before, otherwise I wouldnt buy my third home with them. But I am done with them. Its nightmare as a lennar customer now...never seen anything like this. If they continue to treat their customers like this and think get away they are making huge mistake. This could be the beginning the end of largest home builder. I hope management sees these issues and fix them before its too late. Again this is not just my experience so many people in that neighborhood complained the same thing. So you get the idea. If you are first time home buyer I would remove lennar home from your shopping list no matter how attractive their incentives and sale price compared to other builders. This is not the quality and home buying experience you want as a first time home buyer. Thank you, ... More

I went in to this experience with Lennar with an open mind even though I read many bad reviews. In the beginning it was good and everything was progressing nicely. Then it hit dates changed multiple times which led to us being homeless for some time. Then we finally closed and it was evident that there was no detail to attention but we were promised it would be taken care quickly. Now two months in and I believe I have set the record for warranty ticket which the majority of them are not resolved. In short I will never but another Lennar home if I have a choice.

Quality of workmanship and materials are very poor. After an initial evaluation of the home, issues were notified ahead of time. The builder manager agreed to solve the issues and by surprise, the manager changed the mind and didn’t complete any updates as requested. After spending several thousands, I had to close with many defects in the home. Lennar didn’t complete the initial walkthrough issues identified and after two months of the closing, they haven’t fixed all issues. Also, more issues have been identified with several tiles issues (hallow tiles/different shades through the home and now Lennar can’t find the right tiles to fix the issues. ... More

Very poor quality Lot of missing things during the final walk issues are getting fixed only after so many follow ups Promising that everything will be resolved before final walk. But there were lots of missing and left overs during my closing time. I was in a worst mood when closing the house.

What a nightmare, not recommend. Cheap quality & overpriced. Terrible workmanship

I don’t even think there’s enough space here for me to tell you guys how horrible the experience was buying a Lennar home from the mortgage people that I am ashamed have access to my Social Security number to the workmanship that I am now living in a home that Hass to be redone. There was paint on the carpet. Things were not done complete walls were crooked. This house is been a nightmare And two months and I’m still waiting to have things done and planned to be fixed because I’m last on the list because I’ve already signed the closing documents.

Over a half a million dollar with the quality & workmanship of a motel 6. Home was dirty at closing, workers leave trash inside and outside your home. Paint chipping and peeling was left through the home. Door knobs and other fixtures falling apart. In order to have this repaired even one day after closing you must log on and submit work orders and wait. The cheapest & discontinued products were used (cabinetry, floor tiling, paint color and quality). Overall very displeased. Submitted anonymously because all of the defects have been repaired at my own expense. After having Lennar repair once I wouldn’t trust their poor workmanship ever again. ... More

If I could give negative points, I would put -5 points...From the beginning all the process have been a nightmare...The sale representative was completely unprofessional, I didn't receive any information from her except to the closing day when She was pushing me to sign the closing agreement but the house wasn't ready yet (No Gas meter, so we couldn't test the range, water heater and dryer). Then, during the final walk-thru we discover at least 20 issues that needs to be fixed before the closing date, but they didn't do it. Now, I request a warranty services because a couple issues in my house but It was a nightmare as well. I wouldn't recommend to a friend or family buy a Lennar House in this moment. I have gotten the worst service in my life. ... More

Was pushed to close with the home with many pending issues that made the place not ready for move in. 2 months after closing and stilll many issues pending, There is no responsiveness from the Senior Construction Manager to cancel moleste items are n the punch list. Worst experience ever !

Just one word, the only good experience was the fantastic salesperson we had. Other than that everything else was and is hell. Construction is terrible, and warranty coverage is awful—very Bad Experience; the worst.

I was forced to close before house was finished properly. I had 100 different issue while was forced to close my house. Still today I am having issue from Frame to Appliance. Lennar is to learn of What is Quality of workmanship, Trustworthiness, value for the price paid and responsiveness to issues. I think People created this survey should work on the quality assurance field.

I had a horrible home-buying experience with Lennar and would never ever purchase anything from Lennar in my life for sure. Most of the Work was not quality work and customer service has been terrible with a lot of pending items on the day of closing and even 2 months after moving into the house. The sales representative has stopped taking calls. There was no cleaning or Welcome signs put up for my house and there were critical items like internet connection and mailboxes were not considered before closing homes for buyers. There were even lies which were told during home walkthrough because we were told that internet connections are all set up but we came to know from Spectrum that nothing was done and they took a month to do the set up. After closing, reps started saying that they are not responsible for these issues and there are other teams who work on the items internally, so they were simply taking off their responsibilities. I have more to say but cant type in so much ... More

Not happy over all with anything from Lennar. I can’t get anything fixed and it’s been a total nightmare. I would never recommend this builder

Wish i never knew the existence of lennar,you guys are terrible in every way possible,i got frame with this house built with the cheapest material and if there is a chance to undo everything i signed with lennar,i would do it in a heart beat.myself and a few neighbors are coming for you lennar!!!

From the lack of sales support, to the purchase agreement to the mortgage process to closing and service after closing HORRIBLE experience. The home is poorly built several structural issues, flooring issues. Worst real estate decision I have ever made.

Very dissatisfied we have built 3 homes in fl and I would never buy a Lennar home again. Very poor workmanship. Totally stressed out from dealing with them. They slap their homes together and don’t care how they look.
