Lennar - Initially presentations were good.

  • Anonymous
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • April 09, 2021
  • Elgin, IL

Initially presentations were good. Communication throughout the process has been lacking, specifically we were not told about delays. We were told projected meetings and weeks passed without contact. We were told we would be told if there were delays that would affect the delivery date. We were not told. This affected several things for us. That seems false. False expectations were set as if to commit us without follow through from Lennar. Dissatisfied. Would never recommend Lennar to anyone. Very unfortunate and negative impact.

Lennar responded:
Hi, thank you for the review. We are extremely disappointed and sorry to hear about the issues you outlined regarding the lack of communication throughout the build and completion of your new home. If there are any items still requiring attention, please send us a note at corporatecustomercare@lennar.com, so we can follow-up. - Lennar Customer Care

Lennar - The initial process from meeting the sales consultant to move-in

  • Tanya T.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Yorkville, IL

The initial process from meeting the sales consultant to move-in was quite seamless. Lennar lending offers incentives you don't get from other banks. They have created a win-win scenario, with offers you can't refuse. The decision to buy from Lennar was easy.

The home is beautiful, the process of purchasing the house was seamless! They took care of our requests within the first couple of months. The problem came after the 3 months, we have 3 ticked open and no response or whatsoever, I am worried now about the 12 months final inspection, not sure if they just want us to wait until then or if that’s how it will be moving forward.

Our salesperson was helpful and great to deal with. The house is well built. The high ceilings really make it work. These empty nesters are so happy with our choice.

Lennar - Lennar built its homes sloppily.

  • JoAnn O.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • November 20, 2020
  • Manhattan, IL

Lennar built its homes sloppily. Poor appliances. Cheap carpet padding. Cheap bath fixtures. The woman who walked us through houses (Priscilla) wanted absolutely nothing to do with me after the sale. No guidance. Nothing. I ended up getting new appliances after 3 months and the company who installed my new ones said they’d never seen such sloppy work with the garbage and cans and nails left behind the old appliances. Dishwasher installed crookedly. Patio door lock broken. I got push back on some of my complaints which I don’t expect when I buy a house Smoke alarm so close to kitchen I had ...
