Lennar Reviews in Savannah, SC

We are very pleased to have bought from Lennar homes. They are very nice people and they work with you especially Mr. Matt. Thank you Lennar homes

We’ve had a few issues, but our Warranty Rep Kim has gone above and beyond for us. Thank you Kim.

The paperwork side of the home buying process was very smooth and convenient. For the price of the house, the quality of materials is lacking. It would have been very helpful to have an irrigation system, security system, and better quality flooring/hardware/lighting for the price.

We love our new home, but there are some issues. The most annoying is the lack of gutters on the home. I’m from an era where homes came with rain gutters, so when inspecting the home during the walkthroughs we asked about their lack and were given an explanation of how the new home roofs were built to divert rain water and told we could have gutters installed if we wished. Didn’t think it would be a problem due to the explanation. Of course neither of the walkthroughs was performed in the rain so we excepted what we were told. After the first rain we discovered the roof’s design diverted the rain alright, right in front of the front door. So, now whenever it rains we have a mini waterfall cascading directly onto the main walkway leading to our front door that has to be dodged when entering from the front of the house. When informed about it, and questioned about the ‘roof design’ we were told there was nothing that could be done and our only option was to have gutters installed. Thanks for nothing. What’s going on? Do they have a kickback agreement with the gutter installers? And when did homes start being built without rain gutters? Do better Lennar. ... More

The overall buying experience with Lennar was a very pleasant one and was a smooth process all the way through closing. The staff was very helpful and attentive prior to closing. My concerns and negative feedback is a result of post closing ownership. Following the closing on our home it seemed like we were forgotten about within the first 30 days. We had issues that arose within the first 30 day period that were ignored despite constant phone calls and messages sent. The other issue was the attention to detail around the outside of the house in reference to construction debris and trash left around the property. My daughter was in the backyard and was trying to pull something out of the ground which turned out to be two rusty saw blades and numerous pieces of trash covered by pine straw or buried in the dirt. Despite the negatives I would still recommend Lennar as the homes and closing processes are wonderful! ... More

The buying experience was great but once we closed it was like they didn’t care anymore. The staff were super friendly and nice but issues identified prior to closing are still not fixed. The price paid does not come close to the quality you would expect. Walls are not straight, caulking is missing and not finished. Paint was messed up and told it would be fixed at the 30 day mark then was told they will only repaint at the 11 month mark. Best advice I can give is don’t close unless everything is completed because it won’t get done.

Jackie is great! He manages the building of the homes. Very good at responding. They will push you to close quickly, as I believe “bonus” dollars are involved on the quick close. The actual realtor for Lennar wasn’t too good at responding to our questions.

Contracting the house was seamless. Once we had to deal with construction site supervisors, we had many issues. They did not keep us updated. We had to call them to get updates. Closing dates were moved without notifying us; they changed it seven times. The craftsmanship was awful. Sloppy work. The painting contractors were the worst. Paint splatters all over wood floors, door sills, and tile. Painters never covered roof metal accents so needless to say overspray all over it. Shutters were never installed, chrome accessories were installed when we paid for upgraded nickel. Major drainage issues between houses, not just our lot but all homes on our side of street. At this point they are only doing bandaid fix. They need to do French drain to resolve. ... More

We keep finding staples in the carpet, and my kids have bloody toes from stepping on them. They did fix everything we pointed out during the walkthrough except the carpets. The carpets are stained, and we can't do anything about it. They force HOA, and the company they use is garbage and think that they own our houses and our community. Associa is sucks. We did have a warranty claim, and they got it fixed quickly. They built the houses too fast.

The notified closing date changed multiple times. We were given an original closing to be October 2022 and based on that we planned for furniture delivery and for us to move in by November. Lennar missed the October closing and we had to pay rent until we could get into the house. We were notified of next closing to take place in January but we found problems with construction that had to be corrected before we could close and get into the house. We expected the things we found would have been noticed and and repaired before we close. Finally closed on 3rd notice and got in to the house in February. We have been in the house for several weeks now and are still trying to get last few things repaired. Lennar people have been nice but getting things done a challenge ... More

We were excited to begin our next chapter, retirement, and move into our "forever" home. Now, we are questioning whether we made the right decision. Shortly after we signed the purchase agreement, we received a warm welcome from Lennar and a commitment that we would have an "exceptional experience." Up until the closing, we had a very good experience . . . they were accommodating in rescheduling the walk through and closing to meet our schedule, our loan officer was awesome, we were welcomed at the "Final Celebration Sign-Off" and we were assured us that the items we noted during that visit (including construction clean-up, replacement of a dead bush and tire tracks in the boulevard) would be taken care of in advance of closing. Unfortunately, while the construction clean-up was completed the day after we closed, a month or more after closing, we were still waiting to have things fixed that were called to their attention either before or right after closing and most every day after we moved in (in addition to the landscaping, a GCFI outlet that powered our Wi-Fi tripped continuously and we learned there was an issue with the wiring) and now, almost two months after closing, more issues pop up pretty much weekly, including a dryer receptacle that was mis wired (it's been fixed) and our front door that doesn't completely seal (waiting for it to be fixed after two visits already), among other items, that need to be repaired. The representatives that handle the warranty claims have been wonderful, they have no control over the quality of the construction and workmanship. While they are very gracious and it is a blessing to have a warranty, it is frustrating that we need to keep reaching out and take time from our days to wait for repairmen to arrive to make the repairs. I would think, with Lennar's experience, the quality control would be top-notch. Unfortunately, at least in our home, it seems to be missing. ... More

There were a few things that needed to be addressed after closing that was not taken care of after the final walk through, but it was not completed even after several follow ups. SMH.

Terrible overall. Would not buy Lennar Home again.

Make sure all issues are resolved prior to closing, because once you close issues are never resolved. Also make sure they clean inside and outside before you close. Pay attention to detail because painters are sloppy.

Lennar not offering their standard home offers. They are taking advantage of the buyers in this area because the homes are needed. Quick builds, unskilled laborers making big mistakes and not fixing. Forcing warranty repairs immediately after closing because these workers do not do their best. Houses are way over priced for materials and quality of work done. Work sites are a mess, constant garbage and debris.

Love the home, floor plan, location and price -- however after the sale and move in we've been disappointed. Many quality and workmanship issues have been found (including several walls that aren't square, interior and exterior paint, driveway, sprinkler system, trees, shower glass and tiles, sinks, flooring, grading and lawn prep. There is a lack of follow through on most issues. While the neighborhood is still under construction it is understandable to a point that there will be areas of unattractive piles of materials, trash, etc. However, it is a almost unbelievable as to the unattractiveness has been and tiles, sinks, flooring, grading and lawn prep.

Quality of workmanship extremely poor and problems since the day we moved into our new home. So far Lennar has been responsive in addressing these issues.

Disaster all the way through. I really believe Lennar failed in every aspect. And from now, the house is already falling apart. All baseboards have left the wall. Outside panels are peeling back. Incredible. The finance side of this I could write a novel on how bad it was. Absolutely unacceptable.

Knowing what I know now I would not give lennar a dime

The sales person was unresponsive after sale was done. Have been unable to resolve issues with home after many no show appointments. There an obvious construction deflect with exterior draining system affecting all homes. This will need to be repaired or will end in class action by residents. fFinally told to make a warranty claim when it was construction manager erroneously cut the seal in the AC. Sloppy paint and improperly installed shower drain which could cut someone’s feet and is a liability to Lennar. Was expecting better quality and service. Cannot recommend Lennar homes.

The communication was horrible from start to finish. Painters were really bad. I’m a repeat buyer. My experience in Charlotte was awesome however in Hardeeville SC it was really bad. The quality and supervision was not there.

My experience with Lennar builders started off great. Very responsive and helpful during my whole contract signing process, HOWEVER once I was under contract the whole game changed. I felt I was no longer a priority as they already had my deposit and commitment. Upon closing on my home I was told I would not be given my keys as my wire transfer wasn’t received yet. Even though it was 5 hours since I had wired the closing funds and I had proof it was sent. That was an awful experience to be on what should have been a happy and exciting moment . Also they didn’t mention I wouldn’t be getting the keys until AFTER i signed all the papers. Once I received my keys I entered my new home. There were several things not completed that I was told by the construction manager Chris would be done the day before when I had my final walkthrough . A hallway wall was completely bowed and they did an AWFUL job . It was botched !!! Within the first 30 days my siding was coming off my house on the back of my home, the faceplate to my dishwasher was never installed, the screen on my screen door was hanging off, no HVAC return filter was given, they put one light bulb in my garage, a nail pop in the living room, paint bubbled in the bathroom, a dead tree was planted in the front yard, barely any pine straw was out around the yard, the property was filled with trash, cans, wrappers, and scrapes. They tell you to make a list of everything that needs to be fixed within the first 30 days as I did. I am being completely ignored by the construction manager Chris. I have sent email after email , text after text. He will reply to one message every now and again but never mentions when he will come by or when it will be done. It is now more then 60 days past my closing date and still waiting for an update of when this will be done. I mean my siding on my brand new home is not attached and is coming off. I can understand being overwhelmed or busy but this is completely unacceptable as I messaged about this over a month ago and have barely gotten a response at all. If you can choose another builder DO IT. Lennar does not care about you after you sign those documents and make your deposit. Corporate if you see this PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL. ... More

The Lennar representative lied to us about the amenities being included in the HOA price in SQ. After trying to use the pool, we found out that it was not included and required membership to the country club. This would have been nice to know at the beginning of the home buying process, as the amenities were one reason for buying in the SQ community. Repairs were still being done one hour before closing because they weren't completed when they were supposed to be. The home walkthrough was done one week prior. After closing, we picked up our keys and went to the house. The keys didn't work. They somehow got messed up, and the keys didn't work on the locks on the house. This completely ruined the day. I spent the rest of the day contacting the builder and waiting for the locks smith to come redo the house. The dishwasher was one of the last-minute items that needed to be completed prior to closing. We moved in, used the dishwasher for the first time, and returned to the kitchen covered in water. After researching, I found that the drain plug was still in, and the drain hose was disconnected. It should be the responsibility of the homebuyer to take out the drain plug if the builder is installing the dishwasher. There were multiple other issues that needed service requests within the first week of moving in, including emergency plumbing because dirt got into the sewer drain and caused the toilet and sinks to be backed up in the house. This after four days of moving in. ... More

The houses were rushed to be finished just to get people in and on my street alone four out of five houses have had major repair work done, and they're brand new less than two months and a half.

We would never purchase a Lennar home after our experience. The process was rushed. At our walk throughs most items were not addressed. The overall craftsmanship of these homes is very poor and disappointing. We keep unveiling issues, and the contractors used for the warranty have all been low quality. Basically they are trying to put bandaids over everything rather than fixing the issue. Everything about this house is just sloppy.
