Lennar Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

follow-up on outstanding issues has been horrible

Closed on the home with items still outstanding. Assurances given that all would be taken care of in short order. Not to delay the closing and moving plans, etc. we went ahead and closed. Now we still have outstanding items, no contact with our superintendent who conveniently leaves a message on his voicemail that he does not check voice mail messages, and to email instead. Turns out, he does not respond to emails either. Felt very rushed to close, then they vanish. Not impressed and not happy overall.

False advertising about when amenities would be complete (that was a huge selling point for my family), their financing dept. (Eagle Home Mortgage) was horrible, horrible job on my kitchen back splash (it looks like I did it) and they pretty much keep you out of the loop on any changes (like us not having our pool, playground, etc until next year). They actually told a perspective buyer (that I referred) not to tell me about the amenities not going in! Luckily she told me and I called afterwards, total surprise to me. The people are nice to keep you “happy” but my overall experience was disheartening for my first time building. Never again. ... More

We payed for a premium lot size and found out after closing when we went install a fence that we are missing 10 ft of side yard. After doing some research, this is a common complaint for Lennar and there is nothing you can do about it except make sure you have the land surveyed prior to the start of your build.

Had a prior Lennar home, felt would be similar in good built quality , not impressed , have had issues with cabinets, cracks , poor built quality and over all fair !

We built the new “everything’s included” home. Sounded like such a great thing. In order to get and “everything’s included” home, they cheat everywhere they can. Downstairs cabinets have soft close hardware. Get upstairs, not included. Plastic faucet upstairs on an upgraded laundry room. Only one hearing/air vent for the entire kitchen, living room, entryway. Upstairs is so hot and downstairs is freezing. Workmanship is poor. So many thing have had to be fixed already. Carpet is so cheap. We’ve been in the home 4 months and the carpet looks like it is 10 years old. Terrible, terrible quality. ... More

I love the floor plan for my home but the customer service after I moved into my home has been horrendous!! I've not seen nor heard from the person who walked me through my home since he asked for a five star rating while delivering 1 star service. They've not followed up to get all the items from the original list nor address the ones I've added since the move. The quality of the flooring and cabinets is not worth the money charged! Most of the workmanship and material are decent quality but not to the standards expected at this price point. The most offensive actions is the decision to change the size and value of the homes in the community. This decision has a great impact on my investment and the overall look of the community. I would not have purchased my home in this neighborhood had I known that this switch was coming. ... More

If I can’t give last names then this survey is a waste of your time and mine

The person who sold us the home told us many false things to make the sale. There are a lot of things that were changed out during the process to a lower quality. However, our house price did not change. The quality is awful and we have had to spend the first 60 days reaching out to Airtron, GE, Lennar, etc. to get things fixed. Not very enjoyable when you’re trying to move into a house and unpack boxes. The sad thing is we have plenty more, that will be done at the 12 month mark. This is the third house that we have built and has been by far our worst experience.

While the people that work at Lennar have been nice and ok to work with, the quality of the home simply is not there -- especially for the price. This is hands down the lowest quality home we have ever lived in despite it being the most expensive we have ever purchased. If there was a cheaper material to be purchased or a corner that could be cut, Lennar took it. Sadly we are not happy in our brand new home and do not recommend purchasing from Lennar.

Beautiful homes with terrible finishes! There is no attention to detail. The skill level of the workers working on these homes is not great, to say the least. The drywall, paint and trimwork are the worst finishes. Lennar should have a better oversight of their contractors/subcontractors/sub-subcontractors. I hope this helps a potential buyer decide.

What would I like other homebuyers to know about our experience... remove any emotion for the initial decision-making process and talk to the people that currently live in the development that you are looking at. If we would have done that, we probably would not have purchased the house that we did. Multiple people in our community have experienced or are experiencing what we are going through with the lack of workmanship, pride in their product, and responsiveness to issues. This was evident with the lack of communication and responsiveness through the building process, not having corrected any of the issues identified before closing, and lack of follow up after submitting repair tickets. ...

Overall, the building experience was very unprofessional and done with poor quality. There were several damages on the bathtub, refrigerator, dirt that was not cleaned, almost all kitchen cabinet doors were damaged and poorly repainted. There had to be constant pressure on them for it to be done correctly. Poor craftsmanship was present. They pushed that they be paid even when the unit was not ready.

Slow to no follow up to correct or repair issues Very poor instruction on appliances,thermostat,irrigation system,ring alarm system Most items are not high end and workmanship is below par

I am in awe of the materials I used. they are not of good quality for the price of the house. response time is not good. Every day new details come out and it is a new house.

Dishwasher that won’t wash dishes, microwave already bad, handles come off refrigerator. On and on and on. Wow.

Got two issues with in 2 months. One of those issues fix is not satisfactory.

they make what they call and exceptions list. this to be fixed right away 1/2 the items are not on the list. non-responsive to fix anything. the worst builder we have felt with and had 6/7 new homes built . our building supervisor is terrible and non truthful. 0n a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the best lerrar is a 2

The overall experience was far from a positive one. Our front door was hung backwards. SEVERAL doors were not level and wouldn't close correctly / lock. The electrician they selected to do our home was HORRIBLE. He made too many mistakes. SEVERAL light switches were installed in the wrong places. Smoke detectors and light fixtures falling from the walls / ceilings. DOZENS of nail pops on day of move-in, yet we were told to wait for more to pop-up before having them repaired. Roof installed incorrectly. Bath drain not sealed resulted in water leaking through the ceiling. Wrong shower installed and refused to correct it. Outside window frame busted upon move-in. Drywalled over the attic access. Busted cabinets found during move-in. Cracks / holes in walls. There were so many things wrong during our pre-closing walkthrough. It seemed as though they rushed to the finish line and the GC didn't oversee the project well enough. Perhaps too many homes being built all at once? We spent our first three months in our home dealing with "warranty repairs" and still had to do a great deal of work ourselves to fix what was done wrong. We're putting a lot of work into making this the home we should've received as a new build. The term "turn key ready" does not describe Lennar. ... More

Lennar will drive you crazy signing the documents everyday till closing and after. I have signed 51 pages after that I guess I signed Several more documents in different days, Why they not sign one page that Buyer has no right/ all the rights is reserved by Lennar.

Overall exterior and interior trim work was extremely poor massive amounts of caulk used to close poor craftsmanship / millwork. MI windows are falling a part - they will all need to be replaced within 12/15 years.

I have not had a good experience at all. First they will send a very strick/condescending message that this has to be done in a week - this and that. When on says I will back off, they become very polite again. They push and force their lending agency. The Lennar title add some bloated changes the day of closing and then called a week later for some other bloated charge that they wanted to collect more. So, overall I feel I cannot trust them.

Lennar has absolutely no control, whatsoever, over their subs who eat food and leave food scraps on the floor, ketchup on the new woodwork, and the paint sub dragged their muddy boots all over the brand new carpet at the most critical time just days before closing. Lennar, however, would not do a complete carpet replacement, even though those same boots made God only knows how many trips across the street to the disgusting disease-ridden port-a-let. The finish workmanship was the worst I have ever seen in 40 years of purchasing new homes. The finish workers (literally) nailed trim boards all over the house with chunks of dirt and mud on them, which no doubt got painted over by the paint sub. Unbelievably disappointing!!! My very first beginner home with Arbor all those years ago was better built and at least had subs who respected my new home. The region construction manager, Adam, was the only positive or bright spot, and he was very good to work with and did his best to try to make things right, otherwise my scores would be a “1” across the board (some “0” if that was a possible score). In the end, profit and dollars prevailed for Lennar and Adam was handcuffed with what he could offer to remedy the situation. ... More

I’m not happy with lennar’s policies. First they show me different color when house get ready then it’s color was totally different which I doesn’t like. Their designs I doesn’t like. Inside of the house is also very basic. And house construction material is very cheap. And my real estate agent is super rude, very unprofessional and very short tempered. I definitely will NOT RECOMMEND my real estate agent to anyone. Lennar people making fool to their clients specially first home buyers. Overall next time I will pay 5k-7k or 10k give extra but will choose good company, which making houses with good quality material and inside and out side good design and I will choose that company which not do fraud with client and not make fool to people first show different color and on final touch gave different color. And ONCE AGAINT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY REAL ESTATE AGENT. ... More

Our sales rep she was amazing. She did everything that she could do to help us and she was there no matter what time or day we emailed or called her. Now closing was the worst experience ever I had never built with people who were so rude and had no hearts and just wasn’t worth our time if we didn’t have so much time invested and money spent I wouldn’t have went through but the people in your closing office are very rude and inconsiderate, and I will wish to never deal with them again But overall, my experience with our club with our sales person she was amazing. She did her job very well but the people at your closing greet you and they are supposed to make this experience wonderful and it’s supposed to be a happy experience at that table, they made it very miserable , and sad to say you guys to build houses for other people, but I would not refer them to use you guys to close on their home ...
