Lennar Reviews in Charlotte, NC

PROCESS WAS GOOD OTHER THAN WORKING WITH LENNAR MORTGAGE. ``

Lennar is not good at communicating. There was no contact that wasn’t initiated by me, even when there are problems with the build or closing. And even when I did hear from them, they frequently didn’t provide all the information needed/required. I am happy with the house but feel like many of my grey hairs can be tied directly to trying to get Lennar to tell me what was going on with the house.

Please make sure you check everything!

Bare minimum upgrades in spec homes Phase one of the neighborhood has better upgrades/options.....their motto is Its all included And that was not the case- there were no window treatments, refrigerator or washer and dryer included.

The entire building process was a complete disappointment. We had a private home inspector here twice before our purchase, the workmanship, plumbing, concrete is horrific! Sub quality concrete used causing huge cracks in our garage. The sheet rocking inside home on the living room ceiling is atrocious uneven, there is 2 holes in ceiling near pot lights, there is a hole in the kitchen vinyl floor and the spackling in our master bath is cracking all the way up to the ceiling. We were told once we signed the closing paperwork all interior issues found afterwards were our problem and Lennar would not repair it to our satisfaction. ... More

Fit and finish was not as it should have been.

Not a lot of attention to detail and when I pointed out issues they weren’t dealt with very well/ at all.

Great experience working with Angie in sales. Not a fan for Lennar’s “new home celebration.” Lennar should provide adequate time for a proper walk through. Some of the work was not great quality and if items are missed in new home celebration, it is difficult to get Lennar to address. I have been “ghosted” by both construction manager and customer care team. Very unprofessional way to do business.

This was our first experience buying a new home and we were left with a very bad taste. I do understand some issues may arise, but having water coming down into the bedroom at the first storm and after the inspector had pointed out an issue with a pipe on the roof, was the extreme disappointment. I've observed nails popping out, which is also disappointing at less than 60 days. Cherry on top are the multiple driveway damages from your construction crews that keep driving big trucks over it.

The construction manager was non responsive, not helpful, and did not make for a pleasant buying experience at all.

To many issues is 60 days and less than stellar appliances! Leaking roofs tripping electrical issues (thank you Marie for helping with that)and I will never own any Fridgedare appliance ever again! Gas range that is questionably safe every time I lean over to put food in the microwave the gas knobs on the stove turn on and I won’t be doing much broiling that’s for sure! The dryer has no light inside and no windows just a solid door! Although the refrigerator is now working fine it took 3 of them before I could say that! Thank you Michal for helping with that!

Was told the garage was ready to paint. Not true. Dry wall has to be repaired first.

Post closing experience is dismal

Overall, our experience with Lennar was subpar. The number of issues found during our inspection was alarming, but the worst part was the pushback from Lennar when it came to fixing or addressing these issues. I had to create a punch list and consistently follow up with the construction manager to ensure things were getting done. During the final walkthrough, numerous issues were discovered, yet I was assured that Lennar’s QA process would leave the house practically turn-key. Unfortunately, this was far from the truth. I even had to argue for a large section of drywall exposing the strike plate to be fixed and went around the neighborhood to gather proof that my house was the only one with this issue. Outlets were not installed at the same height, and I’m not sure there’s a single 90-degree corner in the entire house. Under the carpet, you can feel nails and debris as you walk. Every door’s trim is chewed up but simply covered with paint to hide the blemishes. The overall craftsmanship definitely needs to be reviewed. The only positive experience I’ve had in this entire process was with the sales agent, Mike, who unfortunately no longer works in this neighborhood, and my warranty representative, Martina. Martina has been working tirelessly to make things right when issues arise, and it’s clear she’s advocating for the homeowner rather than Lennar, which is a relief. I would not recommend Lennar to my family or friends. If you want to review some of the issues mentioned in this review, feel free to come by and I can point them out. Bring a level, laser, and speed square. ... More

The initial buying process went well. However, after I signed the purchase contract, I had to follow-up after no responses regarding the inspection. I definitely did not feel I received the red carpet treatment as expected after making such a big investment. Lennar short cuts at every opportunity…no mirror in the powder room, no light fixtures throughout home, including over the mirrors in each of the bathrooms (except undesirable one in dining room). Review of items prior to closing was combative and rushed. I was appalled that Lennar did not offer a printed copy of the warranty manual.

Our last few homes were of much higher quality. From thin paint (areas you can see the drywall), to cheap fixtures and materials to Lennar dropping the home automation (wireless thermostats, ring cameras, etc), backyard paver patios & grills - they were certainly looking to maximize profit and finish out the neighborhood (we were one of the last homes built). Would likely not buy another Lennar home.

The overall experience was stressful , I believe that the craftsmanship of the house is poor, as I am already seeing nail pops , had to have warranty work done . When asked if I could have some paint to touch up my walls after moving in , I was told you can go to Sherwood Williams and tell them Lennar house Walnut Creek and they know the paint . To be honest that’s not what someone that pays 500,000 for a home wants to hear , your build supervisor did catch the pillar in front of my home as twisted . Placement of light switches are awful why not have a switch in the garage for the garage , No outlet near the water main to use the monitoring items that require 120 v , I rate my over at 3 stars , some people on your team work as hard as they can to please the buyer others are just there to collect a check and you can see that , the warranty dept was quick to come and fix my issues , slate did a great job of keeping me in the loop. ...

House layout is great, however workmanship could have been much better. Can tell items were rushed and done quickly. There were things that passed inspection that shouldn’t have. For the price we paid for the house, I’m disappointed that we already have to fix items 2 months later.

Once our sale was completed sales representative was disinterested in responding to our concerns. Very disappointed in his performance. Initially construction supervisor was reluctant to meet with us. However he has been very helpful since our first meeting. Punch list staff (new home owner orientation, etc) was not particularly knowledgeable about appliances, heat system, eero system, ring system, etc. Warranty mamager has been great to work with. Lennar needs to improve communication and follow-up and training at all levels. Also, Lennar needs to provide better supervision to subcontractors. We understand that houses are still being built in this development. However, subcontractors throw construction debris, food containers, cans, scrap wood, and all varieties of junk around the neighborhood. Not only is this unsightly but it is a safety concern. ...

Finishing is very bad. Lennar should have been given more options for having the sun room or back yard porch. there is space which can be planned rather than making wastage.

This new home buying experience was different from any of my previous. I was told no "we don't" "we can't" "we won't" too often to remember what was able to be done. For the price of the house materials and finishings are so basic. (Painting, Cabinets, Floors, Carpet, Etc.) I closed feeling like I overpaid and have so many upgrades to do.

The initial purchase was ok but the closing, walk through and repairs were horrible. The closing was held up over 30 days and then we were rushed into closing. Lost mailbox keys for over 3 weeks. There were a lot of sloppy small repairs(poor painting) needed in the home and a few major things that required fixing. This is my 2nd build and my 1st home far exceeded the Lennar experience. Lennar builders put more emphasis on speed instead of quality of workmanship and materials. The positive I love the ranch style lay out and the open floor plan. We are settling in comfortably.

In general, the purchasing process was straightforward. So I'll give you kudos for that. But hand-off was handled very poorly. Promises were made that things would be fixed that are still pending over a month later. Most items should not have been allowed to pass initial inspection the first place. For example, I have an interior door that doesn't close, stair balustors out of order, a plastic water bottle visible in the foundation, mismatched ventilation screens and so on! And to have a representative state that this is not a "class 1 build" as an excuse is just not acceptable.

When we complained about quality of trim and paint we were told "it's not a custom house". Bad answer!

Overall, nice home and amenities in Millbridge. Finish work could use improvement with more options for kitchen cabinets.
