They are very one sided. As long as it is in their favor they are willing to make changes. However if the client needs something, they won’t budge an inch.

Lennar home at Glenloch

  • Anna P.

Quality work and home was done on time. But we had to wait over a month for the grass,driveway and sidewalk to be done outside. So my house was a bit dusty. The temporary driveway was sand. So I had to clean everyday the house. I would have liked everything to have been done when we closed on the house.

Was very disappointed in my newly constructed duplex. I have had my previous homes built and never had any of the issues I had with this purchase.The positive aspect is that customer service has been very responsive in resolving the issues

Will Never Buy Lennar Again

TERRIBLE responsiveness to issues. Would have been really screwed had we not hired an external inspector. More workmanship errors and cut corners very apparent longer we are in there, and Lennar is VERY unresponsive and slow to these issues. I will NEVER buy from Lennar again

Lack of customer service

Hard to get responses to issues. Management is a revolving door. This is the 3rd survey I’ve received. Stop sending out surveys and use those resources to improve customer service. Just come talk to me or some of our neighbors. Lennar is Good at marketing, bad at customer service.

Great builder during the build phase - post completion responsiveness lacking

  • Robert S.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • June 29, 2021
  • Huntley, IL

The process of building was great (not my first new home build) and we were kept informed. There are opportunities with disconnects between marketing material images and actual plans and since the customer only can take away the marketing material those need to match with the plans. Post closing on the home the responsiveness is severely lacking. We have several small issues that are construction defects that we raised both at closing and the 60 day mark and aside from an email with a case number there has been no communication in a month.

Lennar - This home was supposed to be my dream home.

  • Karen N.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • June 24, 2021
  • Joliet, IL

This home was supposed to be my dream home. I was not given upfront, honest information from the time I signed the contract to the building of my home. Front elevation by front door was not what i signed for , it was a bait and switch. Lot was not what I needed - specifically told sales rep I wanted yard with a pool, my yard has so much utility items now running through that I cannot have a pool. The company has not been responsive to my issues, I have had to follow up multiple times to get any actions completed. Their subcontractors are not reliable. Lennar does not return messages. ...

From the moment we walked into the office and greeted by Dave we felt at ease. We always felt as though our best interest was a priority. Brandon and Dave have made the experience from start to finish such an amazing one. They are very responsive to any question we may have. Love that we are now part of the Lennar family!
