Lennar Reviews in Gary, IN

Deb loved what she was doing and loved the Lennar brand.

Too much paper work and nonstop emails and letters coming from too many people and agencies that have caused me to miss deadlines and important issues. The Lennar people working with me have been Great and have responded quickly and generously. But the whole Lennar purchase Process sucked for me. I have bought 5 homes over the years and this was the worst experience ever. It didn't have to be that way. I hope it was better for others. The HOA paperwork was a surprise, I was told the HOA was just for the upkeep of the children's playground. (Not True). So what is that called? I wasn't given HOA paperwork until weeks after we moved in. A Big Plus--I finally was given weeks later that there is a list of people to fix issues with the house. Overall the people were GREAT, The Process-Pfff. GREAT people are Angelica, Alex, Sam, and SAWYER! ... More

Don’t accept online closing,be person to person ask all questions,ask for all documentation hard copy ,

Lennar is prompt with service and very responsive. However, we were not offered some of the items we requested in the house . Our choices of some items or materials were not offered. This gives us some apathy about the house !

better selection of plants and landscape very low end, tile in kitchen, tile in bathroom, double sink, no patio just a stair coming of sliders? I would expect these things if my house cost was 250,000 to 300,000

Still no yard at my home, meanwhile homes that haven’t been closed on yet the yards are being put in before ours that closed in March. Den floor is hitting the air duct in the basement and making noise when it is traversed. Contacted Lennar to set up 6 month appointment and advised of issues, no follow up has been made.

The home buying experience was excellent! Except the loan process, it was painful, draining and very time consuming- requesting the same info over and over from my job and from was very unprofessional from the loan company—-

Overall just OK in our opinion. SO MANY layers of people involved in this purchase. We never knew who was doing what or when. Not sure Lennar did either for that matter. Still have things to complete that were told would be done. It appears that they are in a big hurry to get out of this development and on to the next, so we’re getting short changed. Hope that isn’t the case!

House still needs some repairs, that I addressed to Scott, I decided to wait until 11 month to get the rest of them repaired. But over all I'm not happy with there quality, I think quantity is what matters to them.

I want to call out two very special people that have made this experience with Lennar much more palatable. I will circle back and explain my reasons for giving consistent 3’s as a rating. First Bradley Andrews in your sales team is a real bonus to Lennar.. he has gone WAY ABOVE and beyond his job description to help us out with MANY issues with the purchase of our home. The second individual is Eric Ford. He has been very helpful once we moved into our home.. he has been very responsive and helpful with our problems that came up even at 5 AM! Lennar loses some stars in our rating due to the LACK of support during the underwriting and loan process first. You Lennar portal is an absolute disaster and is NOT customer friendly. Our loan officer seemed to have difficulty navigating it and was not really able to do anything due to privacy? What is wrong here that the loan officer can’t discuss our file with us? RIDICULOUS The home.. WOW. So many things wrong and yet during the first walkthrough many of the things did not get fixed that were pointed out. We are now waiting on our 60 day to get many items fixed.. doors don’t line up, mirrors not flush to the wall, drywall messes and screws missing, the list goes on and on. I have huge drywall gaps around light fixtures and light switches.. we paid top dollar for a new home. Lennar needs a better support team before closing ( besides Taylor Schupp.. get more help for Pete’s sake) and stop communicating only BY EMAIL. This is OUTRAGEOUS. I’m paying for customer service from Lennar.. not to respond to 10,000 emails every day. I work too and no ONE has time for this lack of customer service and communication. Call your BUYERS.. put some heart back into it Lennar.. you will lose to a smaller builder due to your clinical experience in buying a home. I am already having issues with the Association and the neighbors just doing whatever they want in this new neighborhood that is still under massive development. You are not making this customer friendly for people due to the poor communication and rude responses from the Association ..Mary Breedlove however has stepped in to assist and has been very helpful and supportive after I lobbied several complaints. Please don’t have people move in with our wireless service or cable.. I am still livid over that debacle when we moved in. Our neighbors said they had gone weeks without cable or Wi fi.. cmon, get it together! You can do better Lennar. ... More

Took a lot of short cuts in building and didn’t pay attention to details in some areas.

Did not care for one of the Lennar Mortgage folks. Rick was very abrupt every time I had to speak with him. Always trying to talk past me and really did not listen to what I had to say. He tried making me get a loan for $10,000 more than what I needed. The only reason I stayed with them was because the rate they offered compared to other lenders.

Nobody from Lennar at closing. Was explained next to nothing throughout the entire process. Feel like only reason some things were fixed was because we brought it up before house was finished. Closed even though not finished. Many things still need fixing. Communication sucks. Period.

total lack of communication between departments and companies

The process of buying the home was excellent, each person throughout to process from touring the home and going through the application process were very nice and explained things in a way I could understand. All the Lennar representatives during the home buying process were excellent, thorough, and quick in responsiveness and I would recommend them to anyone. The issues started 30 days after we moved in. We noticed mold on the wall and turns out there was a hole in one of the pipes causing a leak and mold to spread to our primary bathroom and laundry room. We are now a month removed from when we originally had the pipe leak. Drywall has been removed from affected places and our bathroom cabinet and sinks, was told our replacements would be here within a week and that everything would be patched up. It’s now been a month, still waiting. Dry wall had been removed and replaced but waiting on cabinet to be delivered and installed. Unable to use our master bathroom as we are without sinks. Have tried to reach out to our home care representative multiple times in the past couple weeks via text and email for updates, no response. The frustrating part of this experience is the lack of communication, even just a reply stating ETA or that they’re working on it would have been sufficient rather than no response. Very disappointed that our experience up until now had been overshadowed by this negative experience as this is our first home and were not expecting issues within a month from moving in. ... More

All in all we like our house. Yes alot of the materials used are cheap, but they are not terrible. Have not been in the house long enough to give a real assessment. We have hope everything will go well!

They need to work on training sales people in the office better

Everything is NOT included. There is yard maintenance. The house was not ready at closing. Cleaning crew was on site for 30 minutes. Punch list was extensive due to incomplete or shoddy work.

Clearly, the construction trades are not what they used to be. The quality of workmanship is hit or miss. Take it from someone who has built several homes. For us, the drywall work is horrible. No sense in pride for the work being done as there ceiling job in the main areas lacks quality. Additionally, the quality of material is poor but since the contract, which you cannot change, gives Lennar the ability to change material, clearly means giving you an inferior product. Our wood floors are cheap garbage. While the price is good, the quality of work and products are below average.

I wish I had better things to say about Lennar. We were rushed into closing on our home when it wasn't ready. It was presented to us filthy. Took us literally almost a month to get everything clean inside. We've had floor joist problems where the floors bounces when you walk on it. They added a support wall in the basement which did help but my brand new home should of had proper joists installed in the first place. The concrete company they use is awful. Our driveway is the worst I've ever seen. It's overworked, pitted, cracking/chipping and looks terrible. They're supposedly working on fixing it but I'm not holding by breath. With our driveway so bad makes us worried about our foundation over the years to come. So many little problems with the house it makes it very un-enjoyable. We've been in our home for over 4 months and we still don't have grass or landscaping. Regardless of inclement weather we should of had at least grass by now. If it wasn't for the building manager we probably would of walked away and never bought the home. He's been the one that has kept our sanity through all of this. This home was supposed to be our forever home and now we don't know if we can stay here because we don't trust the quality of the home for the large amount of money we spent. It's a shame and I would not recommend anyone to build with Lennar at this time. ... More

I pay extra for this lot , thinking offers privacy but the lot is full off low quality clay dirt. So its useles nothing can be planted on it when it rain takes long to drain ,when its dry is hard like rock and crack..

Appreciate closing on time, but a lot of things were missed or not finished. Workmanship on some things is mediocre at best.

Angelica was very helpful. Great individual to have on your team.

To be honest, I want to say that the purchase process is very complicated, the assistance was not the most correct, the construction was not well checked before being delivered, which caused damage the first day of moving, the price was the market price

I wouldn’t build with Lennar again. The quality for what I paid is not worth it. I have walls that curve, so many uneven walls, vents and doors. I had a leak my first weekend after move in, in May it’s now July and the hole still hasn’t been fixed. I was also told we would be getting replacement doors for the hvac room and our garage storage door that was damaged before move in and that still hasn’t happened either. Just not worth it.
