Lennar Reviews in Hickory, NC

Lennar was fantastic from the moment I stepped into the office. The entire process was smooth and easy. As someone that was purchasing a home in 1 state and living in another I was a little worried at how it would go. I cannot recommend Lennar enough!!

Everyone was nice and willing to answer all questions quickly and professionally. Our Mortgage Broker was Exceptional. Thank you Melissa.

Simplified process that was quick an efficient.

From the initial sales appointment, confirming options, coordinating with my third party inspections, to closing on the home, the service from Lennar exceeded expectations. My construction manager assigned was responsive and sent weekly videos of the construction process which made me feel like I didn’t have to go onsite all the time to check progress.

From start to finish we had a great buying experience with Lennar Homes. Very honest and easy to work with. It’s been almost two months since we moved in and we love our home! I would definitely buy another Lennar home in the future or recommend their homes to friends and family.

Joe our sales person was awesome. The building supervisor worked hard. We did run into a few issues that needed addressed, we are not happy at all on how the rock was cemented up to the vinyl on front of the house. It looks like crap and will need repaired soon.We run into issues that concerns us on the seal plate on the right side of the house. Also we’re disappointed with our driveway having to shift to avoid a manway.

I had a great buying experience with Maria and Eirik, my only real complaint was the landscape company did a really poor job with the quality of sod and trees. Then they replace some of it and I am left dealing with the rest of the weeds not sod on my own

Overall a great experience with exceptions to workmanship with painting and some gouges in floor tile.

For me, I felt like the loab approval process was a bit much. I was asked questions that I didn't really feel was appropriate. They also asked for the same documents that I'd already sent in to a previous employee. I felt like they weren't communicating to each other. I think that a better quality paint should have been used. The paint is not able to be wiped down without the paint coming off the walls.Other than that, I love my new house.

I was told throughout the home buying process by the realtors in the office and walk through team, who are all employed of Lennar, that I could put a fence in my backyard as long as it was 4ft or 5ft back aluminum. I have had the most frustrating time getting my fence approved since day 1. There are other houses with fences like mine that don’t cover the entire property. The covenants state that I don’t have to. I don’t appreciate being told by every person I talked to that represents your company I can do something that has become a huge headache. You either need to fix my problem with putting my fence in or not say a word when selling homes about what owners can and can’t do. ... More

Buying a Lennar home was fairly easy. This is my first “brand new” home purchase. I didn’t expect a perfect house at this price point, but there were a few things that surprised me. Things I didn’t expect: 1. My closing date was used as leverage to not get things fixed during the pre-closing walk-through. “If you need that done it may delay your closing.” 2. The house was not cleaned. I had to mop the floors and wipe down the countertops before I moved in. 3. Gravel and construction trash was in the yard. I had to rake out the garbage from the grass. 4. After I pulled out the pine needles in the beds, I found even more garbage - anything from soda bottles to construction trash. Pine needles were simply thrown over it for concealment. 5. The Shannon Woods HOA is the most challenging aspect. Even though many items are allowed in the CCRs, you still have to ask for permission to change anything in the yard. It takes weeks to get a response and you can never speak to a real person. All in all, I like my Lennar home. I believe they could put a little more effort into their work product and the outcome would be greatly appreciated by the buyers. ... More

Good overall experience ... include a realtor ...

Poor craftsmanship and clearly poor quality control. Land was not prepped before sod was laid. I've been here two months and I'm still pulling up softball size chunks of concrete, nails, screws, saw blades, galvanized steel brackets. The sod is low quality, 1/8 of it is dead, not dormant, but dead, a third of it is infested with weeds. Half of the walls aren't straight, either y'all can't afford a chalk line, level, plumb bob, tape measure, or the quality of the lumber isn't worth the cost of the house. The longer I'm here the more things I see that make me regret buying from a builder. I won't recommend Lennar nor will I ever purchase a Lennar home again. Luckily, I only plan to be here a few years. The only positive was the people I worked with from Lennar. ... More

Lennar had this home on the books and wanted it sold immediately. I signed off on the offer because my slaesperson needed it to make his month and was in a sales meeting. My agent and others at Lennar said not to worry about the closing date in 3 weeks, that we could adjust it afterwards. Und=fortunately that was not the case. In order to make this sale happen, I dealt with over 400 emails in the 3 weeks to follow, often with differing advise from different parties. I think that the new rep to help usher sales through the many Lennar parties will help, unfortunately she was new and no one contacted her at any time during the sale process. The final paperwork for closing arrived via email at 2 am the day of the closing. I basically had to sign it blind or not close on the house. This is absolutely unexcusable. The lawyers could not answer many of the questions that I had and were basically useless. All in all, it is the sales, mortgage nad closing process that were unccordinated, late or ill advised by Lennar personnel or associates. ... More

I feel that our home was rushed to make a closing date. The sod was not yet rooted. In comparison to the rest of the homes in the neighborhood there were very few shrubs planted. The tree in the front will probably have to be replaced. There are door hinges that don’t appear to be properly installed and so on.

Throughout the entire home the paint and trim job is terrible!! Extremely sloppy. A brand new home should be perfect. You can see they don’t really care to do their best which was extremely disappointing. 1 month in and we have nails popping out through the dry wall. Every day I find more and more imperfections. And flat paint throughout the entire house is ridiculous. I would have paid more just to have better paint. At the end of the day I chose Lennar homes because it’s the best bang for my buck right now.

The purchasing process itself was fine. The coordination with Lennar reps was pretty terrible. Multiple reps blatantly lied about inspection results and new home orientation dates. The Lennar-run HOA is a complete nightmare.

A builders grade paradise. We don't know, or we don't do that are the mottos around here. No consideration for the overall ambience of the development, homes are built with lack of the consideration of the ability of the buyers who are new to the area to have access to services and information of availability unless you are willing to be Facebook savvy and trusting of your "neighbors". Air leaks and failing " finishing" touches are common, the washouts of the so called irrigation system are not only annoying but dangerous at times. You get the picture. And it only promises to get worse.

The subdivision has been left a mess with uncompleted sidewalk, poor workmanship, incomplete drainage facilities, incomplete common areas, construction debris and trash everywhere.

Save yourself from tremendous headache and stress, and not use LENNAR MORTGAGE in your homebuying process.

I could never receive an immediate answer on any issue, every reply took anywhere from 3 - 14 days. Every concern regarding the build of my home was either disregarded or denied. 3rd Party walk-through was never performed as promised. 90% of blue tape items noted as deficient were not completed and then bent over a barrel to sign-off and close or incur fees. If given a choice, I would never deal with LENNAR again, but I don't think that any other builder in this current climate would be any different or better. Things got so bad that I tried to get out of my Celebration Walk and couldn't because it was a condition of closing. Most awkward closing ever! Didn't say a word all day, had my real estate agent deal with the LENNAR staff, signed off, and then threw everybody out of my house. Would never go through this process again! Feel dismissed, frustrated, I have issues that I now have to address personally out of my pocket, and ignored. LENNAR assumes responsibility for nothing after they have your down-payment. Hard pass! ... More

Though I have informed about cracks in the foundation, they were not fixed Reported about Ant hill before closure, it was not just an ant hill , it was an infestation of ants and was just watered, but not fixed before closure
