Lennar Reviews in Atlanta, GA

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Overall had been below average, ok experience on an experience, high priced home, but, could have been a lot better.

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.

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.

Terrible experience, STAY AWAY, ESPECIALLY THE BUILDER

I would it recommend Lennar
