Lennar Reviews in Atlanta, GA

Craftsmanship and finishing is poor.

I have purchased Lennar Homes in the past (Cal-Atlantic/Ryland Homes) by far this was the worst home buying experience. If it wasn't for the lot size and location, I should have gone with one of the other builders in the neighborhood (Stanley Martin or Providence Homes). The sales experience was terrible both salespeople were not on the same page and took a long time to get a response back. As far as the builder and follow up person they were great and overworked because they had a lot of building going on, but when I was able to speak with them they were able to respond to my questions. My opinion is Lennar has gotten too big and forgotten to focus on customer service and details. ... More

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.

Just terrible new home owner experience. Definitely will not buy Lennar home again. This was my first time buying it and I ignored the reviews that sad bad about Lennar but now I know.

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.

Exception list items pending still 7 months post closing. Sloppy repair work done by contractors.

The whole lennar process is designed to optimize their company’s benefit at the expense of the customer. They have rules / restrictions / policies which make the entire experience awful for owners (this includes home buying, inspections, closing, lennar mortgage, and warranty). I will not buy another lennar home.

My home wasn’t ready prior to close. They had approximately 30 items on the checklist that needed to be addressed and corrected prior to close. I already sold my other home and needed to move. I had movers lined up to do so after I closed on my Lennar home. They asked me to close even know they were not close to complete and asked me for 3 additional days to finish the items we agreed to that were on my list to close. I should of trusted my better judgment & not close until the work had been completed. I closed & ended up moving into an unfinished incomplete home. They changed builders 3 times. It took 5 months to get them to come back out to complete the items. I had blue tape on the inside and outside of my home for those 5 months calling once a week to try to get them out. I had to go through warrantee, which didn’t make sense. Their reason was because I had already closed. They broke their promises & made it really difficult to get them back in. I ended up doing a lot of things myself. The 3rd builder that was supposed to handle the checklist claimed that he knew nothing about my list & was there to build the new homes. My home wasn’t on his list. He told me that I had to take the items of concern up with warrantee. The warrantee guy was not reliable & seemed to jerk me around. Most of the neighbors felt the same way and had very similar experiences. The sales folks & builders seemed to be on a revolving door. Continuous shell game. Love my location & home since I have gotten things fixed & adressed mainly from outside contractors & work myself. Very disappointed with Lennar and them allowing their employees to represent them in this manner. Most of the items would have been common sense solutions. They just had to touch things 3 & 4 times instead of taking pride in their work to do it right the 1st time. The painters & Sheetrock guys were approximately 90% of the problem. They seemed to be Day labors. Gary K ... More

I was deceived multiple times by various Lennar teams. First the lots were incorrectly classified and assigned incorrect lot though I was 2nd person to have the scheduled appointment. They never disclosed about a drainage easement. During development process again deceived multiple times with wrong promises and the same experience continued post closure. I wish I never bought a home with Lennar.

Quality of workmanship&materials: A window was covered with sheet rock and went unnoticed until weeks after closing. Another builder acknowledged and took care of the issue. Painters were super messy, lots of paint dripping throughout the house. Did not hear from my builder. Trustworthiness: There was not a good repore with my last builder and I did not trust him. There were no apologies made for the mistake, he was not willing to suggest or recommend any product for grout; or provide model or serial numbers for appliances to be registered after taking pictures and saying they would send it to me. Value for the price paid: the increase in cost from the start of building the community to closing coupled with the interest rate was overpriced. Responsiveness to issues: From the sales representative to the last builder, not one apology took place. It felt like a cover up. The sales rep sent us the wrong closing date creating scheduling conflicts for appliances and cable. Had the one builder not corrected the window issues I don't believe my builder would have said a word. I believe he lied and said he sent the builder to fix the window. The conversation we had with the builder did not line up with that statement. This is our 5th home, the smallest, the most expensive, and the worst customer service. ... More

Horrible workmanship and communication.

Rushed construction resulting into many problems and forced closing without all the fixes.

Horrible experience with Lenner, Very cheap materials, cheap appliances cheap items installed, I am regretting buying Lenner home. Very bad experience never recommend to anyone buying Lenner homes. In any condition my home is not looking that I have paid over 530k house. Billy was good

Other than the building foreman, the interest in your home buy post signing ranges from apathy to derision.

Terrible experience, STAY AWAY, ESPECIALLY THE BUILDER

I would it recommend Lennar

Extremely bad quality construction and too many issues with new homes. And would not recommend and reference Lennar homes to anyone. Stay away from this builder new home construction.

After moving into my first new home, I quickly learned that I should have done much more research on homebuilders before signing the initial contract. 15 of 17 of my neighbors, myself included, who all bought brand new $400k+ townhomes, have had the WORST first home buying experience with Lennar. Starting from our unreliable and gossiping builder to the terrible corporate warranty request process and service. During closing, the real estate attorney even stated that many other buyers have had similar complaints and issues with Lennar. While sharing my home despairs, I also learned of a family friend who bought a Lennar home built in 2014 who also had an unpleasant experience with Lennar. I have been forewarning all my friends, coworkers, acquaintances, etc. to avoid purchasing a home from Lennar due to the negative experience I have had with them. ... More

I have been in my house 4 months. The dishwasher, disposal and both thermostats had to be fixed or replaced. My roof has had to be fixed as well as my gutters. I think they are terrible builders, but they have fixed the items. Just seems it would be better if they did it right the first time instead of causing all the aggravation.

I'm a 3rd time Lennar Home Buyer and a Licensed Real Estate Agent. And this was the worst experience ever. Terrible construction quality, cheap choice of material and workmanship, unacceptable warranty service. The walkthrough coordinators lied on my face at every stage, instead of fixing the issues identified during the first walkthrough, they simply took the markers off and signed the final walkthrough on my behalf in my absence!!!! I can't even say how many dry wall and paint issues. They left all the issues unaddressed and on the day of the closing they knowingly didn't say a word when ask if the home was ready to close. Not just that, they never cleaned the home, or power washed the garage as promised. Apart from this, the Master Shower is a mess, it is so small that my arms are hitting the wall or shower door while taking shower, as it was not built as per the design specifications and now when I raised a warranty ticket, they do not want to give any documentation in writing!!! I'm sorry to say, Lennar has become the worst Builder - Utterly dissatisfied and gutted. ... More

Staff was 30 minutes late to walk through. Rude to me during walk through. Did THREE walk throughs for paint issues and they still never fixed many of the horrible looking spots on walls and baseboards. My $601,000 home looks like an absolute joke! Not to mention, I did not have a working oven for the first month of living here. Also, they were not prepared with paperwork and therefor made me wait at the attorneys office on my closing day for several hours. I would not recommend Lennar to my worst enemy.

Very bad experience and quality. Still so many issues. Never recommend the home to any one.
