Lennar Reviews in Atlanta, GA

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

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

We love our home but the painting, caulking, grouting and finishing is done very poorly. You would expect more skilled workers to be part of a home that’s valued at over a half million dollars. We’ve been trying to get attention for it for a few months. Will hope for resolution once the COVID mania is over. The quality of fixtures (shower heads, lighting, fans) are more reflective of homes in the $400k range so Lennar has surely skimped on these things. That will be an additional project we’ll need to take on ourselves. The warranty team is great though; it’s just unfortunate how many things we’ve had to request corrections on in a short span of time. Happy to update my review once Lennar gets our concerns addressed. ... More

A lot of patch work around the house that we are just now noticing. Paint job was definitely subpar. Wood floors have so many chips in different corners. There is cement on my grass from when they did the back porch. Patch job around the ceiling fan outlet caps. Let’s just say there are a lot of signs that the home was made in a rush. Really annoying but improvements in terms of workmanship are needed

As with any new build, you will have a lot of dirt and debris, but a lot of of the ground is rock. These homes go up very quickly and you have to stay on top of quality control.. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and responsiveness to issues.

The windows and walls are not straight. The finishing on walls and tiles is poor. Overall it seems the work is done by inexperienced workers who were in in rush to finish. We highlighted this during inspections but response was that they cannot do anything and quality inspections are only for issues that are visible from 6 feet away. Unsatisfied with builder’s quality for a $1 M home.

So we just bought our first single family home. Good things- they stuck to time line and pretty much completed the projected on estimated time provided. The mortgage process was fairly seemless till closing without much surprises. Bad: we were not allowed any choice whatsoever, even the kitchen units were selected by their sales agent and we were told afterwards. Upon moving in there were construction stains on the flooring which was addressed on multiple occasions by their staff but they didn’t seem to have the correct equipments to clear them. Now with time and persistent cleaning by us, after a month or so these are almost gone. Overall we are pleased with the outcome though it’s not ideal. Construction quality is rather standard in most areas and substandard in a few. They didn’t put in any bathroom fixtures. Within one month we are seing continuous cracks along the walls/counter top edges on kitchen, around bathroom shower cabinets and bath tubs with some signs of small leak. Upon contacting customer service We are told that caulking is not including in their standard warranty and my home is setting. I am not entirely convinced by this explanation. Overall, it was an up and down experience buying Lennar home. Given the scarcity of available new homes we didn’t have much choice. I would probably rate the whole experience a 6/10. Ok for first time buy but wouldn’t spend over a certain amount with them. ... More

Quickly built and it shows!

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

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

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.

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.

Seems the subs are very questionable. I have seen 4 homes in addition to mine that had major plumbing problems, including flooding and having to replace flooring. The plumbing contractor must be a very cheap company because the quality is not there. I worry what will happen in 1-5 years based on the issues I have seen so far. Also, landscape work has been awful and they put down dead grass and don't bother to replace it. All they care about is covering the ground. Not how it looks or fills in.

Average Quality of workmanship & materials. Average responsiveness to issues. Construction quality not up to the mark.

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

Communication was not clear during the process. Had to chase down contacts. Continuous pushbacks with no explanation of why. Overall, I would not buy another home from the builder based on that part alone. I was so glad to be done with all reps in every process during the process. Nice home but stressful process to close. Not worth it

I would advise potential homeowners to consider waiting to close on their home until their ENTIRE punch list is either complete or is very short and reasonable in length. It is reiterated to you once you receive a closing date, especially at the end of the month The subcontractors for paint, Nickolas C, area construction manager, has yet to meet with me despite my requests as well as the requests from the builder and the Director of Customer Care for him to do so. I hesitate to refer other buyers to purchase from Lennar.

The orientation of the home as it turns out was awful. NOTHING was explained regarding hot water tank use and especially all the RING stuff and the fact it had to be installed within 55 days or HIPPO insurance comes with money owed due to missing the date. NONE of that was ever explained.

Lennar builds FAST homes not quality homes.

Once you get the CO and move in, the work that should have been fixed was not completed on our home. I plan to start with work order for each of the items not completed.
