Lennar Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

The house is nice. Seems to be built well but Lennar falls short on the last mile. I did my best to clear up expectations up front during the sales cycle. This included HVAC and a few smaller items like the front door. I was told everything was taken care of. However, that was a joke. I am working with the Vice President of Customer Experience and let's just say I have to repeatedly ask him for the correct expectations outside of what he thinks is correct. If it was a lack of training, that would be acceptable. However, I was provided with over 10 different points of view on the HVAC system and had to ask for the exact wording in the contract between Lennar and their sub-contractor. Sadly, I was told many times "this is what you signed" which was a lie. My recommendation: Realize they are bullies and they have no respect for you after they have your money. Do not expect them to honor their word, as their word is what is used against you. Become an educated buyer, setup expectations on paper and ask for details even if they say they don't have them. ...

Our house is just ok. Everyday we find something that is awful with it. Meaning the trim, the doors, the paint. The trades don't care, and when they speak very little english you feel bad telling them that it still looks awful when they come back in to "try" and fix it. They always have to call the boss and see if they can or can't do more work. But then it ends up looking just as bad as it was at the start. The trim work is horrible and the doors all look awful as well on the bottom.

Lack of communication, poor craftsmanship but asking for repair of poor craftsmanship leads to even poorer craftsmanship with no concern of Lennar

Cheap material used to build the home Rude and non professional staff ( at the building site)

If I could put zero stars for Responsive to issues, I would. My actual home buying experience with the salesman was excellent. His name is Mitch. Great guy and he was always there to answer questions. If he did not know an answer, he would find it for me by the next day. There were many issues to be addressed with the home before closing. The “construction builder” and the “main warranty” man assured me that I should close on time and that they would be here for me to fix the numerous outstanding items. I trusted them. So I closed. The quality of workmanship in my home is subpar, at best. Every day I find new things that were not completed correctly. I followed the steps that Lennar outlined for me by putting in “warranty requests” on all outstanding items. My list just grows and nothing gets fixed or resolved. There is no interest or timely communication in addressing all of the things that were incomplete or broke before I closed on my home. Lennar has one man who they entrust to “fix” all issues except electrical. They will not honor the Lennar warranty properly by sending out qualified “trades” to address the issues. Each one requires a different job specialty, but Lennar will not spend the money to make things right. I always wanted a “Lennar Home”. But my experience in the last few months has forced me to regret the purchase of this home. ... More

Overall, we felt the quality of the home was not worth the investment. Many areas of poor workmanship, walls not true to scale, flooring not put in correctly, concrete not put in correctly, many small things just not handled correct for 400K home. we believe more attention to detail could have been done, the home was not cleaned when we moved in, floors were dirty, garage dirty.

Poor quality construction. Cheap material used.

It would go a long way if the process after closing was better explained, not clear at all. Punch list is a joke, because it isn’t done prior to close and then you have to chase to get them done. Love the floor plan and the neighborhood, Lennar not so much! Very disappointing process all the way around.

Moved in 6 weeks ago. They didn't finish caulking the upstairs bathroom, the laundry room door doesn't latch, one wall in the upstairs has drywall that moves when you push on it (not properly nailed up), and they left half the building extras in my master bedroom instead of the garage. Aside from the use of flat paint in the bathroom, it's fine. The bigger issue is that my loan agent told me that the first year of HOA fees was covered with my mortgage. This was a flat lie as I was notified 6-weeks in that I owed $625. I do not trust them, but for the price and interest rate for the house, what real choice do I have? ... More

My experience was not good.

Sub work was poor for painting and finishing. Our saving grace was Alan. He cleaned up the issues for us. Lennar title was difficult to work with. Would go with a back on the loan.

Great house terrible customer service. Tammy wouldn't talk to us regarding our closing cost. Dishwasher had to be replaced, the fridge hasn't worked for a month and the microwave had to have the fan replaced. I battle geese leaving waste on my driveway and yard. This is a huge health hazard. Like I said love the house but now have to live in conditions that I didn't ask for and not getting help with. There were 75 geese that were counted in my yard over the last weekend. Please help me enjoy my new house. My neighbor has an infant that she has to stroll through ALOT of droppings just to take her child for a walk. ... More

We built a Spencer in 2022. Was disappointed that there weren't more options for a seniors living in next gen suite. After moving in, we had several issues. The first 8 weeks we had contractors in fixing something. Thankfully the warranty request process is easy and Lennar responds quickly. Overall really disappointed with tge overall craftsmanship of a nearly $500k home. I would not recommend building with Lennar.

My experience has not been the best from the beginning. The telephone tree kind of communication with the site manager and sales person in not getting the message right. I can go into details about how hard it was to talk to Chandra. Then the mortgage officer rarely listen to us and the constant missed opportunities of communicating on what was needed and not needed. The back and forward was confusing. Then I lost my VA opportunity in buying this home. That was just the beginning part of my his. Please call to find out more

Our sales person, Dylan was fantastic. We liked him and he was (and still is) very responsive to any questions or concerns. If I were rating just him alone I would say we had a very good experience. Lennar is a large builder and by all accounts should have their building process down now like a well oiled machine. They are, however, building these homes way too fast without a real attention to detail. Also, when issues are noted they are not addressing them while the work is being completed. It appears that they are just letting the issues slide in hopes that the new homeowner will not hold them accountable. Prior to moving in we had a walkthrough that should have only taken about an hour and at 3 1/2 hours I had to rush because of a work meeting. This was also the 2nd walk through of this home, so many of the issues we say were from the prior buyer that had not yet been addressed. They completed most of the repairs, but not all before our closing, and they were not completed with any quality. Instead they just threw some half assed workmanship and called it good. When we moved in you notice just little things that when added all together give you a negative feeling about their building practices. This is obviously all dependent on the Construction Managers and how they hold the subs accountable for the poor workmanship that they are seeing. When I talked with the Construction Manager about a problem we were having with our home I outlined the process that should have been followed to address and issue and his response was "that's not going to happen that way", to which I responded well it should. This is the single reason for the rating I have given. For the money you spend you should not be having any of the issues that we see in our home and many of the other homes around us. Overall I have had very positive interactions with the warranty people, Jesse and Arica. However, I have had way too many interactions already with them as our home was finished in June of 2022. Overall, I would give them a good rating if it was just dependent on them. Not sure that we would buy another home from Lennar without first seeing if they have fixed the issues with poor workmanship. We love the floor plan and the neighborhood. I just hope this home is still standing in 25 years. ... More

Dealing with the sales person was difficult. She told us the house will have a few things and then on closing they were asking more money for the things that should be included. They did not allow us to move the data points around the house and did not allow us to add more data points in rooms where it was needed. We found the process difficult and not to our full satisfaction. We are planning on getting extra work completed after closing. If you plan on getting a Lennar home make sure you are in touch with the project manager to be sure the process is going according to plan. The sales person would not even allow us to talk to our project manager. We were not satisfied with the process. ... More

First I want to say I am more sad than anything. Throughout the whole process I had issues. I was not listened to and my voice was not heard. There were issues that never got resolved and they started treating me terrible when I would try to address the concerns. One of the sales people asked me how I had so much time to leave my work desk to come to the office when I stopped in to say hi and try to build back a relationship since so many things were going wrong. The beginning was great, during the selling process they were great. Except they wouldn't allow me to have my realtor since she didn't come with me the first time I met with them. Also, they told me a washer and dryer was not an option I could choose however, my neighbor was allowed to have them as an option. They charged me more from my home than others across the street on a more expensive lot (the lots I really wanted but couldn't afford when picking my home out) and they are larger homes. They charged me more for my home than the one right beside me which is a bigger model with same add-ons as mine. So I felt taken advantage of because I did not have a realtor to help me negotiate. During the building process there were issues that they said they would fix but they didn't. There were out right lies told to me. Their workers damaged some things in the home during the building process that were not fix but I was told they were. I was put under a lot of stress because they were refusing to replace damaged doors (damaged by their worker). They eventually said they replaced them all but they did not replace them all and it appears they only trimmed down the doors that are supposed to be new doors, the doors have pretty big gaps from the door frame. The concrete work had a lot of flaws that never got fixed even with being told multiple times they would have the concrete company come out and fix them. I was told during the selling process that I would a full tree line behind my home to block a main street and traffic. That was a big reason why I chose my lot instead of the more expensive ones across the street (without a street behind). When all of the landscaping on the common area was completed they left a large gap right behind my home. My home is the ONLY home with the large gap and they admitted on email that it was there but they are not going to do anything about it because they are done with landscaping that area and it was included in the original quote. So I guess Lennar cannot afford one more tree to keep their word to their homeowner. Again, more than anything I am sad. I started this journey out so happy and hopeful but Lennar made my experience so sad and disappointing! ... More

Brand new house flooded due to faulty installed washer by the builder. A month has passed and still difficult trying to get help.

The process wasn’t smooth. Closing delayed twice, zero celebration-just were given a snack cake and a goodbye after spending more than a half million dollars!

The house was poorly done and amendments were not done after walk through as promised.

This process was extremely painful and unfriendly to myself as the homebuyer. I have purchased 4 homes and this was easily the worst experience. The concierge, Debs communicated terribly, was condescending, and was completely unwilling to help us negotiate a closing date, time, and location that was best for us. Our initial request was to close remotely in Florida which we were told could not happen. I asked again to close remotely from the model home in Franklin and was told it was not far enough away from the Carmel office. We drove from Florida to Indiana and were expected to be at final walk-through 9 hours after we arrived in Indiana, at 8:00 am the next day (we were told “hopefully that time works because it has to”) and then drive 30-40 minutes away to Carmel to close on the house and then BACK to Franklin to be in our home. This was all completed with minimal sleep, 15 hours of driving the day before, 3 pets, 2 kids, one of which woke up the same morning with a fever. It is insanely discouraging to spend the amount of money and time it costs to purchase a house for the builder and Lender to be so unwilling to offer any flexibility in these kinds of situations, especially. Our furnace had a gas leak and was inoperable less than a week after moving in. To add, Lennar Mortgage received everything that was asked for. However, a clerical error on the end of Lennar has caused them to contact myself for additional paperwork that was not needed originally although the mortgage has already been sold to another lender (2 months after closing.) ...

Good morning, we purchased a home at Geist Manon, our sales associate Heather was friendly and helpful in the beginning but once we signed the deal her total demeanor changed regarding her follow up as she also failed to reply to emails. We felt by sales and contractors as we were just a number and when you send the money we spend on a new home it should be a great experience. We also still have things yet to be fixed from our initial walk through drywall issues, painting touch ups,house cleaning the floors were dusty (drywall dust), outside was a mess due to winter conditions and no one has reached out to follow up. We also build with David Weekly and didn’t have this experience. ... More

We did our walk thru a week before we closed and we came back 3 times in that week and nothing had been done in our walk thru so the day before closing we went to the office and our girl got on the phone and called our project manager and got them to start working on all the things that were wrong. But the morning of the closing we came back and several things were wrong and I feel like we were dismissed on all of them and then you are stuck because you have to go to your closing. We have already had to have the mother board replace in our heating system and we haven’t even lived here a month. But it took 4 visits to get done. Still several things need to be done but just trying to get settled before they fix the things that should have been done before we closed ... More

Customer service is not good. The master bedroom shower is useless with no tap at the bottom and sliding glass door is hard to clean. The master bedroom wic is literally in the corner you have to walk through the bathroom to get there and there is no power outlet in it. I told my desire what type of home I am looking for but the Lennar team was very cold. They didn't help me to find my first home to be my dream home. I wish it could be my dream home. The team you have is not supporting at all. We moved from New Jersey for this home. The team was not cooperating with us to find the perfect home

It was not a good experience from the start. We were told by the sales woman that Lennar did not offer VA loans. We found that to be incorrect. We have had many issues with the workmanship and have only been in the hone for less than 2 months.
