Lennar Reviews in Atlanta, GA

I would rather not comment. If I had it to do all over again, there will be things that I would’ve done differently. It seems that I was set aside because I do not use the preferred lender or realtors on site.

Lennar lender mess up the loan.Light drop down and never fix, Ceiling scratched and never fixed.

First time buying house with them and was very disappointed! Lots of unprofessional workers on drywall, painting and electrical. They have to revisit my place many times after final walk.

Craftsmanship and finishing is poor.

We closed on the house 2 months ago. We couldn't live in the house for most of the first month because AT&T, who is the only supplier of internet and TV for the subdivision, did not have service to our location. The builder should have known that. Also, we still have outstanding items from the pre-closing punch list that are not resolved. The Home Care people contact us every couple of weeks to say that they are having a meeting to make a plan to solve our issues, but we are still waiting for them to fix cabinets and install the correct garage door. Practically every day we identify other short-comings in the build, like there isn't any insulation above the morning room and all of the bathroom tile needs to be cleaned due to dried grout or other material on the surface. The crown molding was butted together, rather than overlapped, so gaps are starting to show between the pieces. We expected a much more positive experience buying a new home in this community but have been disappointed with all of the outstanding issues that we have to manage. ... More

Do not close on a home and believe that they will have things wrapped up when they say they will. Would not recommend.3 months in huge crack in ceiling doors won’t open on back of house. Lennar is production builder and it shows. Get them in and close.

For $400,000 you expect a certain quality in a home. This does not live up to the expectations. Very poor quality paint, sheet rock, tile work, workmanship and appliances. When we moved in the oven didn’t work, the dryer outlet didn’t work, the dishwasher leaves the dishes unclean and wet, paint feels like sandpaper, paint peels off the doors if you try to clean the glass or they get wet, crack in ceiling about 6 feet long in the kitchen. The Sheetrock is a very cheap quality and very thin. You have to be very careful when you try to mount towel bars or toilet paper holders. The grout is crumbling on the backsplash in the kitchen. The tile in the master shower is unlevel and water puddles in the floor about a quarter inch in spots. When asked to repair the crack we were told that it is a common problem in this floor plan and we should wait until the year end inspection because they will only fix it once and if we do it now the house will continue to settle and it will crack again. The same was said for the nail and screw heads that are popping through the paint already. They wish they could do it more than once but if they do it for us they have to do it for everyone. Top row of rock on the front of the house was installed wrong and they were told when it was first done but they said we would have to wait until the final walkthrough to address it and other issues. Then they said the contractor told them that it was the correct way to be installed and they wouldn’t change it. Therefore the grout on the top row of rock wouldn’t seal to the siding because they tried to use a clear silicon and it wouldn’t fill the gaps. They then tried to fill the gaps with mortar and it looks awful. Paint on the outside of the house is of a poor quality and so thin you can see the strips where the paint was applied. Interior walls feel like sand paper because the primer was sprayed on before the walls were cleaned and the paint adheres to the dust making it rough. The paint quality feels like rough chalk. Molding all through the house feels like it has sand on it and has never been sanded. The yards were sodded with dead grass and we were told it would grow back, it hasn’t. The sod was not rolled properly so the yard is rough and the grass didn’t root the way it should. There are bald spots all over. The side yards were not graded properly so they don’t drain the way they should leaving wet, boggy, muddy areas which are conducive to mosquitos. We love the area and the people that live here. At first glance the homes are pretty but when you move in you find the materials and workmanship to be lacking. ... More

Cumming is definitely a friendly family environment!!

My experience was the worst probably in this community. I started off renting first. When I was renting I had an excellent experience in the community so I decided to start the process of buying. As I was looking around to different communities my husband wanted to stay in the same community we currently were looking into. He talked to the woman in the front office to see if or what we can do. She gave him a number to a man named Oliver. Oliver contacted and started the process. We put the earnest money down and just did what we were supposed to do as buyers. I put my 60 days notice into the rental company. Anticipating that since we had the go that we were clear to move. We did the celebration and it came down to the closing day and in the morning of the closing day Oliver called upset and told us we were denied due to 2 hours on my pay check. (It was short due to the holiday time, I had no PTO because I just started working as a nurse) I was devastated. My husband contacted the agents boss and they referred us to another company. At this point, I was just going to rent. The funny thing is I found a renter that was going to rent the same house that I was going to buy. So a man named Stephen contacted me from another lender. I told him what happened and that I was not convinced that he can get me approved. His exact words "I understand that you had a horrible experience, give me 3 days and if I don't get you approved you can go and rent"....3 days come I get the call that I was approved. With me being still distraught. I still was not convinced, because we were denied the day of the closing. Stephen knew. He still wanted to prove to me that he was able to do what he promised. I handed in the same documents that I did to Oliver. I went to my closing within 2 weeks. I thank Stephen and the NorthStar team for getting us approved. Now the reason why I gave a 1 star for "Overall home buying experience". I felt like 2 certain people in the office NOT Tiona (I apologize if I spelled her name wrong) was intentionally trying not to give us this house. The sad part about it is that out of all of the same houses they built they continuously showed the house to others and allowed them to go in there with there shoes on during bad weather. (Mind you I rented a house right behind the home we were buying.) So we seen everything. They could of shown the home across the street to it. But they didn't! I even requested if the people they shown the house too could put on shoe covers. Never happened. The reason why I put a 2 stars for "Quality of workmanship and materials" you don't see the quality of the home until after you move into it. I will put the best I can to make it mine but the home was put up fast and there are little issues that we have been taking pictures and recording. The drywall is coming apart like buckling, the was does not come out of the showers, the caulking is half done. Carpet was dirty. Blinds was not put up right to where it would turn all of the way. When we moved in the next day I go outside someone intentionally stomped my pretty bushes over. They are completely damaged. I was so upset. So I am in the process to replace them within the next few weeks and putting up security cameras. Lots more. Trustworthiness is a 1 star because they promised to do things that still weren't done. The value for the price paid. I gave a 4 star only because this is what the house was appraised at. I feel that after looking at other communities in the same price range they are more valuable. Although, I like my home. I was just turned off from the entire experience with Lennar. The reason why I put a 1 star the the "Responsiveness to issues, is because EVERYTIME I would ask for something I felt like a black sheep of the community. I am the ONLY owner that does NOT have that cute little "Private Residence sign" the most hurtful part to this is when I asked Tiona. She told me to come and get it from the office. I sent my son and the other agent in the office told him she had no sticks to the sign, so he came home and said that she said that she will bring it tomorrow. The most hurtful part is the next day I come home "ALL" of the new owners on the street (8 people) had their little "Private Residents Sign" on their yard and they are not even moved in yet. So my husband went and bought me two black signs to make me feel better. He tried but again it does not feel the same. :( I am going to put this review on every platform. I wish I went through another community maybe my review would have been different! ... More

The experience was horrible. I found folks at Lennar to be unethical, rude, and somewhat hostile.

First time buying Lennar home so not aware of negotiation. Me and my neighbors bought same model house around same time but they got 50k less than , what I paid. It is more than 10% discount they got. Even other side neighbor negotiated 70k on listed price. Now I am feeling like fool to buy this house.

Very difficult to get repair work completed. We also have a common area behind our property that we were told would be cleaned up and landscaped when we closed. We have been in our home for 4 months and cannot get the area cleaned up. It is very embarrassing.

This has been a horrendous experience. From the loan application, closing and move-in phases have been miserable. Disclosures statement from Lennar was wrong day before closing. Closing attorneys called me "petty" when I found differences in their charges. Refused to give me keys despite differences in disclosure statement provided by Lennar and the closing attorney. The house was not finished when we moved in. We are now 6.5 months into the home and we are still having issues that are not resolved (e.g, cracks in stairs, buckled floors, unlevel floors, damaged appliances, damaged window frames, overpaint and trim damage throughout. Lennar keeps escalating but there is no accountability. Would never buy again. ... More

50+ items, including major items, wrong with the home. Issues continue. The construction manager shows no compassion and attempts to fix through hacks. I would not buy with Lennar again.

Lennar has turned into a cash-grab operation. Likely because they are now publicly traded, so they care about their shareholders, not their homeowners. Everyone in our neighborhood (Parkside Meadows) feels this way. The bright side is that it has brought us together as a community! So if you're looking to unite your neighborhood in their hatred of the builder, shop Lennar...

Would not recommend Lennar. While the signs in Tucker, Ga of say No to Lennar are for other reasons, they do explain my sentiment as well.

Be sure to get a private inspector to report poor construction.

1. Incomplete and Substandard Work • The house was not properly painted only a primer coat was applied, which is completely unacceptable for a new home. • The shower door installed is incorrect and does not match what was agreed upon or expected. • Drywall (sheetrock) throughout the house is already cracking and separating, which indicates poor workmanship or materials. • Windows are not sealed properly, potentially leading to energy inefficiency and water damage and mold. • There are serious ventilation issues that affect air quality and comfort. • The HVAC system is deficient and either not functioning correctly or improperly installed. • Roofing defects have already emerged, raising concerns about water intrusion and long-term durability 2. Ignored Notifications I notified your team of these problems within the first 30 days of moving in well within any reasonable defect liability or warranty period. Instead of resolving the issues promptly and professionally, I was given the runaround and excuses. No clear plan or commitment was made to correct these issues, despite multiple follow-ups on my end. 3. Loan Issues Additionally, the mortgage terms I agreed to are not what was ultimately finalized. The discrepancies have created significant financial stress and feel deceptive. I trusted your team to guide me through this process ethically, and I now feel misled. This entire experience has not only been stressful and disappointing, but it also feels like a breach of trust and good faith. I purchased a new home, and what I received is far below what was promised and paid for. In addition to the physical problems with the home, there are major concerns regarding the loan process. The mortgage terms I agreed to were not what was ultimately finalized. Most critically, my 20% down payment was not properly reflected or credited in the finalized loan documents. This discrepancy has created significant financial stress and appears to be a serious oversight if not a deliberate misrepresentation. I trusted your team to guide me through the process with transparency and integrity, and I now feel misled. ... More

I have a “swale” in my backyard that remains constantly wet, regardless of dry weather. Despite multiple dry days, the area never dries out. When I walked outside, I found not only standing water but also frogs and mosquitoes breeding in what has essentially become a stagnant puddle. I was assured by the builder and the seller that it was nothing to worry about but the issue has become worse and no one seems to want to help resolve the issue.

Hello Team, Lennar is reputed builder but with zero quality on concrete. They basically don’t know how to use right concrete mix. Lack of engineering direction. All the appliances in our home are leaking. Ex : Refrigerator leak, Dishwasher leak. When we ask about concrete issues, customer service came and said sorry it’s a bad work may be done during the night time. We can’t do anything it is what it is. Customer service at lennar is there to support lennar, not the customers. They just don’t care about customers. This is our experience and feedback with Lennar with regards to our new home ... More

Experience with Service department and sales agent was not not at all supportive

Overall, bad experience through the process.

Builder didnt share all the details of the property. After closing it has been 2 months and still didnt had mail box keys. Never this was disclosed till we close the home. No ETA for building swimming pool and cabanas that are in plan.. But still have to pay the full HOA amount which covers these maintenance costs. Overall I felt, chaulking is not done properly and when asked, the response is, it is standard. Have to escalate above some members I am interacting to get things done. Overall it left a very bad taste with this purchase experience.

Poor quality, poor service, regret purchase

Probably the worst construction company I’ve worked with. False promises and poor construction quality. Promised us few things when signing the contract which were later modified to cheaper options / alternatives. We paid million dollars for this home and the quality and build materials are the cheapest ones on the market. Price gouging everywhere possible while not even providing bare minimum quality. False promises as well. Will never ever buy a Lennar home or recommend to any of my friends and family. You lost a customer.
