Lennar Reviews in Charlotte, NC

Make you understand the HOA regulations. People with two and three cars aren’t “qualified” for a townhouse. Garages are for cars. They aren’t storage bins. Garbage cans are everywhere as are cars.

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 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.

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

you should make better quality houses, and according to the customer's opinion

Not a pleasant experience with Sales and quality in construction and addressing the issue not good either.

They said trails and a pool. Have no idea when the pool will be started. They decided to make the rest of the trails not a hard surface. Very slow to act o. HOA requests. They left wire and the retaining cloth all through the backyard

Does not stand behind lack of quality in some areas of workmanship

Good, NOT GREAT, quality. Very inflexible. Kept using the permitting excuse when I even offered to pay for the re-permitting cost. TO THIS DAY, they have not fixed the 4x4 support in the basement that has some splitting in it. GOD protect us from harm if anything should happen to that support.

Lennar builds a sub standard home with the lowest commercial grade of material to be used. You buy a Lennar home because of the community not because of Lennar. I would not recommend them as a builder and would avoid them if I decided to purchase another home in the future.

Working with the warranty person Talisha has been good. Working with Lennar during purchase was frustrating and disappointing. We feel that they strung us along with an issue that was brought up when we looked at the house the first time with their salesperson. A resolution was denied two days before closing approx 4 weeks after the issue was brought up.

contractors doing the work were terrible. way too many things needed to be fixed after closing

Boy have I changed my opinion, and not for the better.

The construction of a $500k home rates a Minus on our scale. Super delayed process that was poorly communicated. Stressful and limited communication during the build process. Obvious lack of supervision of poorly skilled workers. The home continues to present endless construction issues. Just wished this product was refundable .

Overall we felt that we are cheated on the quality of the workmanship and the material. They are rushing with the construction process and hence compromising on the quality. During construction hard to get updates and clarification on any concerns we had. They even close the house before fully ready. The warranty process is awfully bad...The list will go on and on...

Lennar sales manager is not customer friendly and don’t want to listen customer issues

The home seems well overpriced for the poor quality of materials used, especially the flooring. The houses are built MUCH too close together, and my backyard has a very steep decline that makes much of the yard unusable.

Terrible workmanship materials are cheap no response on issues that need to be addressed

I am very unhappy with my buying experience with Lennar. The mortgage team had trouble compiling documents, requested the same documents multiple times, had to close twice as they provided incorrect forms, etc.

Lennar charged me an excessive daily fee for delayed closing beyond my control. The sales rep was callous and insensitive,. She tried very hard to take my home from me in order for Lennar a multi billion dollar company to benefit from the drastic increase in housing prices in the 8 months since I signed the contract which was before building began. I felt terrorized and victimized.. It was very traumatic

My experience was ok. My home is wonderful. Even though it was delayed by water issues. My biggest complaint about my home buying experience is my lawn is horrible. The lawn was put in with no water and now it’s dead. By the time I’m finished getting it right I will have spent a ton of money for something that should have been done correctly to start by Lennar. An absolute travesty.

The overall buying process was truly terrible. The sales representative didn’t seem confident in our ability to get approved. We spoke with 2 different loan officers who provided us with different information. When we ran into miscommunication issues about our initial approval, our sales representative was ready to cancel our contact as if she didn’t want to deal with us. We had to escalate our issues to management for issues with sales team and loan team. We were asked to provide additional funds for closing which was told hours before. If we didn’t really want this home, we probably would’ve backed out and forfeited our deposit simply due to lack of communication from staff. We did not appreciate receiving time sensitive information at 4pm or after because they do close at 5pm and become unresponsive. Our inspections process was smooth. The building team/inspection team were the most helpful individuals we encountered through this process. The construction manager for our development was very attentive and made sure all of our requests were satisfied. We are young; however, we come from a finance and building background and we are aware of what’s right and wrong. If able, I feel like Lennar would’ve tried to get over on us. ... More

The overall process wasn't smooth and the negotiation part could have been better. I didn't have a lot of trust in all that process, seemed like something was all the time hidden from me. When moved I noticed a lot of things were done quickly, just to be done. Especially painting and finished. Lots of things left unfinished which aren't covered by warranty. Overall process I think could have been better. For the future reference, try and negociate the more you can, don't rush and if you finance with Lennar and you don't like your mortgage officer, switch to a different one. That will matter a lot. When you come for the home inspection, take a careful look at a lot of things and on the last inspection, as well, take your time and look at different things, ... More

This is a difficult review to write. While I love my home and am happy to finally be in it and somewhat settled, the process and experience getting here was very disappointing. The close date was moved multiple times. Often Lennar would blame outside sources but most times it was due to poor project management. The delays also cost me more money in the interest rate and escrow. Both my realtor and mortgage lender had to make several calls to get answers. Once I was moved in there were some minor things that I wished had been handled better. The first was the lack of cleanliness. The floors downstairs were covered in layers of red clay. Two months later I’m still trying to get it all up. The other was just the lack of attention to detail in some of the workmanship. There is more but for the moment I leave with the above. ... More

The folks that are actually running the job sites do the most to correct the issues as they come up and from my experience with Lennar they will come up.
