Lennar Reviews in Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill, NC

money what we paid and what we get compare to other home is high. seeing many service warrenty issues.

bad closing experience with attorneys, mail box keys were incorrect, build quality was sub-par

When it rains rivers run next to and behind my duplex. Half of my yard is taken up with a mound you can barely walk up due to poor excavation. HOA will not answer our calls. Stephanie and Chris have been responsive. The mortgage process was over the top and painful.

Personnel very friendly and helpful. Home materials used were inferior. Interior paint chalky, appliances installed incorrectly, sound of garage door opening and closing very loud, backyard grading nonexistent, sod crabgrass and weeds, much more...

Multiple callout provided on Poor workmanship, Finally the Construction Manager, said that is the design of Lennar and they have seen the pattern in all houses. The design of structure is poor. On the day of closing , got the key and opened the door with lots of dreams, happiness and excitement, shattered into pieces looking at the with so much dirt. Called the construction manager, sales manager and they were not available. Latter received the call saying he personally check and house is clean. This is the quality Lennar provides.

I bought an investment property recently from Lennar. Overall very bad experience, not worth the price I paid, I was talked into this by realtor was compensated on top of the regular commissions for selling a bunch of units over a weekend. They are allowing a huge chunk of the community for investors which is not ideal for the primary residents or investors. Their interest rates are really high and the overall experience with their lender was worse. They keep asking for same documents, very chaotic, confused all the time. Thoroughly disappointed with the whole process. Their sales, lender and realtor have become a nice group who are after to get gullible investors. I would not touch another Lennar community again. Recently invested in another community from a different builder and quite happy with the outcome there. Couple of my contacts had similar experience with Lennar! ... More

The agents were adamant, just talking without any outcome. Over all not a good experience.

Sales representative Mary Ann is the very rude and not responsive to address the question and refuse to meet in person despite repeated attempts. Home orientation session is rushed and don’t cover everything but expect the DocuSign be signed which makes it one way and not two way. Overall, Lennar do not have customer empathy as a service and not a satisfactory feeling. They are not trust worthy when reported the damage on delivery and don’t practice the code uniformly. I will not buy a home with Lennar next time

Homes are built with little to no pride of workmanship, just slap the homes up as fast as possible and any mistakes are overlooked or covered up with putty and paint.

Entire process in terms of signing/closing was ok but communication could be better. Construction team is very poor in communication and status update and can’t keep up with meeting timings. Overall quality, workmanship and materials were very poor. It is surely not matching what Lennar wow on their website about quality. We had many issues in terms of quality of overall construction. Right after closing within 10 days of living, we discovered shower leak with lose plumbing and dripping water in a bedroom. Also, wall/ceiling bumps visible in all rooms, floor unevenness/gaps/scratches, cabinet gaps/scratches are the few examples. Has to deal with warranty from day 10. Even after 4 months of living, issues are still worked on by warranties. Warranty response to all of these issues were good but sad part is, it is taking very very long to fix those issues. Many reschedule of warranty work happened during fix. Even after closing we feel like we are still living in construction/toxic zone with scrubbing/painting and wood work going on in new home. No doubt warranty is trying to fix the issues but if construction team had done better job with quality, it would not only save lots of time for buyer but also reduce lots of frustration after spending entire life saving. Lennar try to save $$ during construction and wasting everyone’s time. For warranty it is their part of job to fix issues but for buyers, it is just waste of time and lots of frustration. ... More

I wish I could give a higher rating because I love the layout and space of our new townhome but we just had a difficult road getting here. The home buying process went smoothly until we took over ownership. Within a few days of closing our AC unit was stolen leaving us responsible for all charges. Lennar was very helpful in helping us find someone to replace it but it was an additional cost we did not forsee. Then the dishwasher leaked on the first use, the back door leaked during the first rain storm. We had trouble registering our ring cam because it was already registered so had to wait for account to reset. It was just one headache after the other. I don’t hold Lennar responsible for all of it but I do think they could have put a fence on the common property behind us and on side to deter theft. They did add a fence to other corners of their development but not ours. I would have liked to see them take the safety of the homeowners more seriously when planning a community because unfortunately that is the world we live in. I do want to point out that Nathan our construction manager was extremely helpful throughout all of this and guided us on how to resolve the issues and always responded to our messages in a timely fashion. ...

Had an absolutely horrible experience with the sellers agent in getting the unit that I wanted. The agent would not respond to my agent and then I lost out of 3 different properties I was ready to sign and go under contract on. There were no accommodations made which was ridiculous. I also had many issues with Lennar trying to play the role as my Lender making the entire process absolutely horrific. Due to this I will likely never buy with Lennar again, nor would I recommend.

Not that Good! Not that Good!

1. The drainage systems in the Edge of Auburn are terrible. I feel ripped off on my yard. It could have been avoiding by grading the land. 2. Concrete cracks 3. Weeds and bugs everywhere 4. Land developers are taking forever to install street lights and dog trash bins 5. Hotwire communications is terrible

Not a great experience. House was dirty when we went to move in, lots of unfixed items and very disappointed. Felt like it was a last minute rushjob and they were just trying to get out of the neighborhood. Not sure I’m able to recommend Lennar.

Below par quality. Lot of cosmetic issues. You charge premium price but your house quality is far below than premium From the issues I see looks like there is no quality inspection done for cosmetic issues before handing over to customer. Pathetic paint job. Grade C. Cleanliness issues Take the accountability. Value the customer and be respectful.

building process was fine, error on closing statement took months to resolve

They did not kept their promises and I ended up buying rates down and spend more in the closing. Do not recommended using Lennar mortgage.

When I complained about HVAC - response was "It is not life threatening and it will take time to get it done. Now they have postponed one more week - after 10 days". You will hear gaps in the doors, on the VPC floor. None of your requests will be addressed at any stage of the process. Better to stay away from Lennar in future, if possible.

Apparently very rushed as workmanship is definitely lacking. Difficult to have customer care remedy many issues.

Upon first look, everything looks fantastic when the keys are turned over. However, the real problems show up after a couple of weeks of living n the house. After being told during our new homeowner orientation that we would have a 1 year walk-through to fix any issues that come up in the first year, we were informed that Lennar no longer performed this and everything had to be submitted through the Warranty system. Of the pages of issues that we have submitted, only 3 issues are deemed 'under warranty'. Lennar promises to use the best construction material and high-quality paint. When we were finally able to get a touch-up paint kit (after 2 months of asking for one) to address the numerous scuffs on our walls; after a brief conversation with the paint provider Sherwin Williams, we found out that they actually used the lowest, cheapest pain that Sherwin Williams sold instead of the high-quality paint promised. Before the construction even begins, you are pressured and rushed through the home feature selection process leading individuals to make uninformed decisions. And once you walk out of that meeting, you can not alter your decisions at all, not even if you contact them the next day. Lastly, the extremely limited choices of interiors with no ability to substitute materials in any package lead every house in the neighborhood to be the exact same, limiting resale values. ... More

Not bad for price

I have had nothing but problems since buying. There have been numerous issues with warranty work that is very unreliable. Upon move in we were told the house would be cleaned. Not o LT were there con webs in the corners but there is still paint on the floors that I, myself, am cleaning over time. There has not been a time that warranty work has been scheduled and kept. They are always late or don’t show at all. I would not recommend anyone to buy from Lennar as it stands now. I know that I myself would hate to go through this experience again.

The houses are nice, but the materials used are low quality.

Once the deal is signed - all promised support disappears.
