Lennar Reviews in Reno, NV

Only problem we had was heat and air conditioning. We did not have a good experience with the workers that came out to help, they were very rude. Luckily, Julie who is such a pleasure to work with, took care of the problem.

Totally helpful

Purchased home after a huge fiasco regarding pricing. Felt like I was dealing with a fly by night home consultant. Had to make a deal with the finance department after the quoted price jumped $40K in two days. Bumps along the building process, mistakes fixed. The kitchen island support and other walls are so crooked, hanging pictures is challenging. We finally have a home warranty rep who appears to be getting the ball moving on several repairs. If the house did not have a spectacular view, we would have bought elsewhere. A production home is a production home.

It took from September 2019 until January 2020 to get some of the issues resolved from my final walk through

While I love my new home, the customer service is awful. We have been in the home for 6 months and things that should have been fixed before we moved in still are not done. We were told it would get fixed quickly. If I had a recommendation for anyone it would be to put off closing escrow until the things you want done are completed.

Since the middle of August when Ernie was transferred I have been trying to get repairs handled. Most have been request multiple times. I was advised Ron was the new contract and was advised by him the middle of September he stated he had 10 communities to deal with but as of today still have not been contacted to take care of the issues. He stated he would take care of the issues but when. I am not happy. I was required to act timely but apparently the same rules don’t apply. I have a list of about 12 plus items. I feel I was more than generous with my rating.

I have filled out 2 customer care complaints with lists of things that still need to be fixed over the last 2 weeks. I have received no calls or emails regarding the lists. Everytime I fill out a form I get an email stating someone will be in contact within 48hrs, yet I received nothing.

We’ve had nothing but problems with after care service. In fact, they no showed AGAIN today to fix our house. The 30 day walk occurred 4 months late. The smarthouse concept we jokingly call the dumbhouse.

I think if you go into buying a home from Lennar with lowered expectations, you'll be OK. The construction quality is average. Not terrible but definitely a little sloppy. For example: I can feel several clumps of dried drywall mud under my carpet (Lennar's suggestion was to get a mallet and try to pound the clumps through the carpet until I can't feel them anymore), installation damage to wiring and appliances, the yard was full of leftover construction debris, and when they were repairing one of my walls and removed the drywall you could see the space behind the wall had a bunch of trash just left there by the construction crew. (Trash which the repair crew just left behind the wall, by the way.) The fixtures, cabinets and appliances are nice. The smart-home features are a nice idea but Lennar and Amazon don't have the implementation fully worked out yet so the homeowner is left on their own to troubleshoot a fairly complicated setup. Responsiveness is good up until the day you close. They, and their preferred lender, were very helpful and responsive throughout the financial and purchasing side. Once they have your money, though, responsiveness drops WAY off. Part of it is that they have local staffing issues so they can't seem to keep anyone in the customer care position long enough to get issues resolved. That said, the price is lower than the competing builders that offer higher quality so I guess you get what you pay for. As long as you don't put any stock in their lip service about a "Zero Defect" guarantee and go into it expecting to get an average house for an average price, you won't be disappointed. ... More

We love our home, but when you’re promised things and are told you’re under warranty you expect things that weren’t fixed to get done, but they don’t get back to you. That’s not good customer service.

Quality is definitely subpar in a lot of areas. They mean well, but just seemed too stretched thin, making too many mistakes and unfulfilled promises.

Issues still not resolved , taking my experience to Washington post paper, npr radio and bbb

Please have someone from customer service contact us, we have been struggling with fixing the open items. We have had our replacement cabinets on order for 4 plus months. We have a leaky faucet that has been reported 5 times or more. Need an important person to contact us. Our out side electrical panel needs replaced. All items reported since original report.

After buying the home we had items that needed to be fixed. Our home rep Tom would never respond to our concerns or give us times when we could expect things to be fixed. Only after three emails asking him who was above him that we could talk to did he respond to us and after 4 months the items got fixed. Three of the contractors that had items that need to fix just showed up with out giving us appointment. Luckily my wife was home each time and we were able to get be work done. We asked Tom to please let us know when the contractors were going to arrive. His response was Oh I thought they would call you. Our overall impression is that after Lennar gets your money they quickly for get you. All the neighbors feel the same way. ... More

The purchase of my home from Lennar on the beginning was great. Lennar’s agent Tina was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the home and what was included. Dealing with the construction ma abet Matt was also great during the building process. We were delayed in closing and he kept us informed on the delays. I have now been in the house for four months with things still left from the original walk through on closing the response time in getting things repaired is unacceptable there is no communication between the department and us and one point contractors just showed up to the house at 8am. They have tried repairing the stucco on the house 3 times and still looks horrible. I realize this is not Lennar’s teams but they need to hold their contractors responsible. Almost all repairs done since closing have been horrible quality and look worse then original. ... More

The qualification process was completely redundant and stressful. Every step of my experience lacked communication by Lennar employees. I reached out to a district supervisor who did not even acknowledge my email nor concerns. Workmanship was not the quality I expected. I missed 8 days of work due to appointments with Lennar of which 6 were NO Shows. Video doorbell has been replaced twice.

great response

Don,t close until all the defects have been addressed.

If you are located in Reno Nevada, there is a lot of hew homes going up and you will need to wait about 3-4 weeks to get your mailbox key from the USPS if you have a community mailbox. Go the post office immediately to apply for they key and in the mean time have the post office hold your mail. Yuo will need to go in every few days to pick up your mail this way until your key comes in.
