Lennar - I wish the sales associate would have spent more time going over

  • Anonymous

  • June 30, 2021
  • Rockford, MN

I wish the sales associate would have spent more time going over all options. There are things that looking back I would have done a few more options. Also the quality of workmanship on the house is subpar at best. I worked in the construction field for close to 20 years and would never have left a finished project look the way it did. You may want to take a look at the subcontractors you use and their quality control. If I could redo this whole buying process I probably wouldn't have used Lennar. The only good thing I have experienced is helpfulness of your customer care representative for ...

Lennar review after 5 months

  • Joshua G.
  • Verified HomeBuyer

  • Prior Lake, MN

After 5 months living in our new townhome. I am noticing paint imperfections from screw heads, and joints. Our hardwood floor has a bubble in it from loose glue. And some of our doors don't open and close. Now maybe this is from our house shifting due to weather, but its only been warmer weather. March to July. I feel they could do better for a $300,000 home, and they had like 7 months to get it perfect.

Buyer Beware

Beginning the day you buy if you have a problem with something such as an unused appliance it has to go through a complicated warranty process. The warranty process made me produce confidential closing papers to prove I, not Lennar owned the appliance. I had issues with two appliances on day 1.

Lack of flexibility to make minor changes to things as simple as the color of wall paint was frustrating. Bathroom fixtures didn’t match drawer pulls, ceilings were not painted, etc.

Thiago is the BEST!!

The workmanship is not the best, felt like the house was potentially rushed to build. Had a leak right away from the refrigerator, flooring had to be ripped up. Carpet not laid down properly. A drawer that does not self close. Showed to someone and nothing done. The door stopper did not align with the garage door so now we have a hole in the wall. When this stuff happens, it takes away from our work schedule and having to use time off to be there when they come in to repair it. The drywall is not smooth throughout the home. Thiago on the other hand is AMAZING to work with! He ...

I chose Lennar because of their reputation and floorplan. I am however disappointed in some of the workmanship that is sloppy. Their customer service department is unapproachable except by email. There is no one who could answer a quick question or refer a client to documentation regarding an issue.

Lennar town home buying experience.

  • Darren K.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • May 30, 2023
  • Dayton, MN

Over all I am disappointed with the experience so far. There has been little to no communication regarding the outstanding items. Many of our neighbors are all so frustrated with the lack of progress and communication. There seems to be more emphasis on starting a home than finishing it. There is garbage all over from construction, I was picking it up but after several black trash bags a week I am done picking up after the construction crews. We (us and neighbors) are very concerned about how the area will look when and if they get it complete.

Happy to be here, but it's clear there were corners cut

  • Nate P.
  • Verified HomeBuyer
  • August 16, 2022
  • Woodbury, MN

I know you guys work with different contractors, but it's clear that the builders cut corners and it's up to the buyers to "catch things" that were missed. For example, our carpet throughout the whole house is lumpy with peaks and valleys in every room. However, we love the floor plan, the house itself and are happy to be here. We just have to be "on top of everything" inside and outside the house. It's not a relaxing experience, instead we are the foreman after we move in. Issues have been addressed hit and miss with workers coming at unscheduled times and whenever they can. I work from home ...

We love our neighborhood and our home overall is great. The signing of our contract was great but we have very little follow up after that. The only updates that we received were after we had to ask for. Now that we have moved in, we cannot get help with any outstanding issues. Very frustrating. I would say that this had solely to do with our sales consultant and not Lennar as a whole.

Overall happy but some comments

  • Anonymous

We really like the layout of our house, and have a beautiful kitchen. Some issues we do have with the home is due the quality of material and labor, for instance the paint chips/scratches too easily on the woodwork and walls. We have noticed a bit of careless trade work but we aren't sure if it is due to shortage of labor in the trades?

They make it seem like it will be awesome and “everything is included” but as soon as you sign the contract they become less and less responsive. We’ve had numerous issues that need to be addressed. Have 3 open service requests right now. Upon closer review after move-in we’ve noticed some corners have been cut and cheaper materials used. No closing/welcome home gifts like we’ve gotten from previous realtors. Lennar mortgage sold our loan right away but all the paperwork wasn’t turned into the new mortgage company in time so we still don’t have an account number to pay our first mortgage ...

Overall lack of quality, detail, and craftsmanship.

Very unpleased with how things turned out for what we paid. After close it became evident the craftsmanship in the molding in the “Designer Plus” package, the drywall work, and painting was not what I expected for the price we paid for the home. It’s evident Lennar is focused on turning and closing homes quickly and letting many of the details go by the wayside. If I could do it over again- I would pay more money for a smaller builder who cares about more than a buck.

Overpriced

Seller doesn’t care about you the second paperwork is signed. Lender is not very clear about the closing process. Triple and quadruple check the loan paperwork because there potentially are many mistakes in it that you will make decisions based upon then they change it and blame you for not noticing. They love to mention the purchase agreement you signed so make sure that is perfect before you sign. Over priced for the quality of the craftsmanship. Sod is put in haphazardly with many gaps. House was not very clean when turned over to me. Warranty is nice but it’s a negotiation when you make a ...

I expected the overall buying process to be easier when using all Lennar companies (builder, lender, insurer, etc), but that was not the case. Home build quality is good but not great - needed tradesmen out to the house twice to correct issues within the first month.

Miller Brothers and BNR both do half-crocked work. Miller Brothers break fiber optic cables and home owners are left to get the problem fixed. . They don’t care what they break and Lennar doesn’t help with getting the cable repaired. BNR puts sprinkler heads in our yard that belong to our neighbors and also puts the heads right on the property line. Told the construction manager we were putting up a fence on the property line so they knew not to put the sprinkler heads on the property line, but did it anyway. Construction managers are unresponsive to community members complaints. ...

We had a nightmare moving to our new Lennar home in Rosemount. We had several issues with most of the appliances(Refrigerator, Cooking range, Dishwasher) doors, weather strips. We had service personals at home every other day for a month to fix issues. New home consultant helped us escalating issues and replacing defective appliances. Warranty support representative addressed most of the issues on time.
