Lennar Reviews in Atlanta, GA

I'm mostly disappointed in how some of the homes in the neighborhood are maintained. I was surprised to learn the number of investment properties and rental that are in the subdivision. We have some houses were the grass has not been cut, dogs tied up in the front yards, basketball goals lying down in the front lawn, and couches in the garage where people just hang out with the garage door up. This is definitely not what I was expecting and I don't know what the homeowners association is doing. Overall, I'm just disappointed.

Quickly built and it shows!

Can't say I'm surprised or disappointed with our experience so far with Lennar as we had fairly low expectations given the state of builders, build quality, and labor issues. I will express that for all the "issues" that have cropped up throughout the process, Lennar has been prompt to address them in a suitable time frame. Regardless, it still astounds me that there isn't more attention to detail during the build process so they didn't have to spend so much time, $$ and resources fixing things that could have prevented in the first place.

Walk through was too quick.

My experience with Diane and Jennifer who were my loan officers was a nightmare, as I had to explain several times a day over a period of over 4 months for my documents and loan processing. I had to settle for quarter point higher rate due to their delay in rate lock. The build quality left a few things to be finished like garage footboard, and finish quality of cabinets and windows, design of mater bedroom. Though Heather did her best to deliver the home it had a handful of deficiencies and poor inspection of HVAC and appliances. Overall our experience was average with much to be desired for a townhome that cost over 1/2 million. ... More

The process during our walk through before closing was very rushed therefore not being able to catch things that needed to be addressed. Now that we have moved in there are still things that weren’t done correctly and remain poorly done.

Corners were cut in many things while delivering the townhome. While buying there were no options provided to pick and choose options available. Call me if you want to know further about the experience and journey. Thank you.

I will start by saying I love the floorplan I chose. I am disappointed with unkept promises by agent. Lennar Mortgage was very stressful and changed the interest rate at the last minute. The quality of work - paint droppings on the floors and molding (did not use painters' tape), cheap paint, several areas are bleeding through, ceiling showing sheetrock seams/cracks, there are areas of 'rough' wood where it should have been sanded, doors put up backwards, attic cut into ceiling inside house - should be garage only, can't reach attic stairs - cut too short...they said all of this was COSMETIC but later advised it won't be repaired because they will only touch up NAIL POPS at my 1 year warranty and not even paint. In a year I will have to repaint my entire home to cover the spots! Also, wrong color carpet installed. ... More

Friendly but a lot of issues with the home

With the process was smoother. Lots of little issues made this process unnecessarily difficult. But in all we love our home so that is the silver lining.

Hope to improve the quality

They do a decent job

Throughout my experience, the communications between the On-Site Realtor and my Realtor and Lender broke down significantly. When we tried to bring Barron’s Manager into the loop, she also did not respond to my call or my Realtor’s call. The straw that broke the camel’s back happened when I showed up the morning of my closing for the final walk- through and Darin, the construction manager asked did I get a call from Baron the on-site agent. I had not received a call and could tell that I wasn’t closing that day, Lennar had to dig another trench for rain water runoff. Baron knew this the night before. I understand nothing goes totally smooth, but had I have known the night before, I would had rescheduled the movers for my actual closing date. Due to the lack of communication, we had to pay for a month of storage and bring in another moving company to move our items into our Braemore home. Darin the construction manager and Hunter the customer service agent were great. I probably could have let things go without sending this response had Baron just called me to tell me our closing would be rescheduled, but instead, I waisted money. ... More

Several issues found after moving in. Very annoying. Most were addressed to our satisfaction.

Poor concrete work to many items unfinished on closing front office and financing good

The lennar gets the homes build by other builders and chnahe them frequently. So did not like the job they did.

Didn't care about my needs or requirements. Not a good home buying experience.

Homes are satisfactory. Resolution of punch list takes entirely too long.

My house was built pushed back because they buried leftover construction material in the front yard and my driveway in the back is half the length as everyone else. We have no choice but to park our cars at the guest parking and the home owner association sent us letters that we can't park there. Our driveway + garage can't fit all our cars.

Moved in with a broken dryer, electric outlet wrong voltage, defective switch and floor gap

Considering this is a 55+ community the access to the A/C unit is in the attic. OK if you have a 2 story model. I don’t but A/C is still in the attic with access pull down stairs in the master closet. The last step to reach the attic floor is approximately 3 feet. An extremely dangerous and for most older people impossible to accomplish. As a former Appraiser I have a reasonable understanding of building codes. I find it hard to believe that this is code compliant. Additionally we have an enormous amount of dead trees throughout the development. I have one on my front lawn. When I spoke with the management company I was told Unless it is discovered at the time of the walkthrough Lennar will not replace it. When you close in January all the trees are dormant. How are you supposed to see if all the trees are dead or alive. ... More

Experience in rather disappointing, but since I have bought it there's no choice. For instance, any addition or modifications can only be done by their 3rd party contractors or warranty is voided. When contacted 3rd party for addition, they are charging 3 to 4 times higher.

Overall it wasn’t a great experience. I was not made aware of my lot boundaries even after closing, slates were not installed. Lot of my land is wasted because that I can’t even use and there are bushes and it’s not leveled. There is a slant on my backyard where Walter stagnates but every time I ask builder, he just come up with some reasoning. Bad design : hvac outer unit makes a lot of noise. And master bed room is right above it. You can’t even sleep it’s that much of noise. Same noise is there in the living room. That unit shouldn’t have been placed outside of living room.

While our initial experience with Lennar's sales representatives was positive, the construction process quickly revealed significant shortcomings that left us deeply dissatisfied with our new home. Pros: Friendly Sales Team: The sales representatives were helpful and attentive during the initial stages of the home buying process. However, their involvement significantly decreased once construction began, leaving us feeling abandoned. Cons: Poor Communication and Lack of Transparency: Lennar failed to proactively inform us about critical milestones like the pre-drywall inspection. It felt like they intentionally avoided scheduling this crucial walkthrough, hoping we wouldn't ask for one. This lack of transparency created an atmosphere of distrust. Unacceptable Construction Management: The construction managers lacked basic people skills, making interactions frustrating and unproductive. Their dismissive attitude towards our concerns added to the overall stress of the building process. Missed Opportunities for Quality Control: Lennar refused to allow a "blue tape" walkthrough before closing, preventing us from identifying and addressing cosmetic defects. Their focus shifted solely to the warranty, which explicitly excludes cosmetic issues. This policy leaves homeowners stuck with flaws that should have been resolved before finalizing the purchase. Subpar Workmanship: We encountered numerous instances of subpar workmanship and questionable material choices. While Lennar was somewhat responsive to these issues, the overall quality of the construction fell far short of expectations. Late Introduction of the Home Buyer Concierge: The home buyer concierge, who is supposed to guide buyers through the process, was introduced far too late into the construction phase to be of any real assistance. This valuable resource should be integrated earlier to provide timely support and address concerns proactively. Overall: Our experience with Lennar was marred by poor communication, a lack of transparency, and a disregard for customer satisfaction. While the sales team was initially helpful, the subsequent construction process was riddled with frustration and disappointment. We would strongly caution prospective buyers to consider these issues before choosing Lennar as their builder. ... More

No clear outline of the process. No clear accountability
