Lennar Reviews

It was a good opportunity to buy house from lennar

My loan officer was great, he was their every step of the way. After the sale John reached out and checked on me. Jessy was good during the walk thru but became unresponsive after the sale was final. I did not like the fact that the house I had a contract on was still been used for site tours. No walkway in the front of the house, you must walk in the grass rain or shine to get to your front door No gutters on the house bummer. The grass was installed in the winter you have more dirt than grass present day I have all weeds. I was given a water hose for irrigation. We are in 2025, and you did not offer a smart home package ? No walking path from garage to the house, inside garage unfinished. Closing was a really bad experience; construction was going on I could not hear the attorney I have to keep asking questions as he keep repeating himself. I love the house however I fell in love the first time I walked into the model, the stairwell and the big Island take the show. Ammie the sales professional did her job by getting me interested in the house welcoming me taking me on tours connecting me with John and then she was off to the next one. I was moving from and did not have a lot of time to house hunt, Lennar was the only company that hah inventory. Anyway, this feedback will not change anything I am sure it will just go to the junk mail anyway thank you all and good luck. ... More

Well it took me 3 houses before I got the house I have now. The first house the loan officer was asking me about my Zelle saying I owed Zelle and I even got an inspection for the house that Lennar sold while I was getting all my information together. Then the second house I didn’t get because I didn’t want the high interest rate. So the third house I got because they already had all my information and we closed quickly. But I really wanted the first house. This is my first time buying a house and the salesperson didn’t give a house gift. It seemed that she want interest in making sure the customer was happy. After we closed she didn’t want to answer no questions she told me to talk with someone else. I’m very disappointed by this. I was thinking you would be more than happy once the house was sold. I wish the person had a heart. They should have different sales person and not the same person in that area. ... More

My experience has been fine no problems as of yet, but my neighbors have many many problems with no response to their issues. Also, I have not received my association information

Overall I love our new home and everyone who helped in the process was amazing. Jeff was great to work with and was very responsive to all my questions and requests to view the home. I don't like the fact that the layout for the driveway was changed a few times from what I was told it would be. I know that Jeff did all he could do to help and that it was out of his control.

I have been pleased with my Lennar home, with minor exceptions—the Refrigerator was an unfortunate choice which I tried unsuccessfully to exchange for what I wanted. I did buy a new one for $1200. The toilet paper holders were practically unusable. I replaced those for less than $100 including labor. The experience with the Mortgage company was unpleasant and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Everybody was great. Everybody was on top of the game.

Very sad and unprofessional experience

The quality of some finishing materials inside the house and equipment could be better.

All staff from various departments were friendly but there were so many involved that no one seemed to know what the other departments were doing. All staff were responsive wmexcept for one concierge Hanah who often did not respond to requests. I joked with the manager that Lennar should be paying me a salary as I had to do so much work in coordinating staff between departments. It wasn’t at all seamless or efficient

Experience in rather disappointing, but since I have bought it there's no choice. For instance, any addition or modifications can only be done by their 3rd party contractors or warranty is voided. When contacted 3rd party for addition, they are charging 3 to 4 times higher.

Everything is fine until after we bought we had a number of issues and the concierge and any of our contacts with Lennar with completely unresponsive. We still are not getting mail, have no access to the gym, park, pool and have had some issues with the poor installation of a few parts in our home

This is my fourth Lennar home. This experience was easier than the last but still a bit difficult. Rushing to have people close is not a good experience. Workmanship is so so. You get what you pay for.

Great team, great company

Our new home is wonderful! Well built, spacious and pretty! Our sales lady Laura O'Rourke was so helpful and super responsive to all of our questions.

Home Buying Experience Review Our home buying experience was a mix of positives and frustrations. On the positive side, the lenders were excellent—responsive, professional, and helpful throughout the process. Customer service was also great, addressing our questions and concerns promptly. However, the workmanship and attention to detail in the home itself left much to be desired. We’ve noticed several quality issues that should have been caught before closing. From minor cosmetic flaws to more concerning construction oversights, it’s clear that quality control was not a priority. While we’re happy with the overall buying process, the lack of attention to detail in the home’s construction has been disappointing. We’d recommend the company for its customer service and lending process but advise future buyers to be extra thorough in their inspections. ... More

Great experience, very easy process with paperwork. Only critique is appliances seemed cheap.

Since Lennar is a production builder and gets their building materials all put together most of the walls are not plum. Craftsmanship of the trim pieces (mop board, quarter round, and door trims) are below average because they use a lot of silicon to hide the imperfections. A positive note is that the term "Everything included" is nice and is something that other builders don't include.

The buying process was smooth and easy, but I have to say, I’m pretty disappointed with the quality of the home. We’ve run into several issues, especially with sand in the pipes, and were told this will always be a problem unless we install a filtration system—which isn’t exactly cheap. Honestly, that seems like something that should have been included from the start. On top of that, the carpet quality isn’t great, and one of the rooms has something melted into it, causing a bad odor. It’s been frustrating to deal with. On the plus side, Lennar has been pretty quick to respond to most issues, which I appreciate. ... More

Decided to purchase an investment property in Florida and settled on Oak Hammock in DeLand. Our salesperson (Madison) was great with offering us up a deal we couldn't refuse, and Lennar overall offered up a quick and (mostly) seamless 3-week cash close which we were happy about. Their closer, Kristen, was very on top of things up until the close. Closing process was quick and trouble-free and very much appreciated. As far as "issues", they were relatively minor, however, unresolved issues have taken the shine off the overall experience. The keys to the house were sent to another development by mistake. Not that big of a deal. We were told to have the locks changed and they would reimburse. I paid our property manager less than $100 to have this done, which I believe was a very good deal. Six weeks after submitting the receipt to Kristen and several follow-up emails later, I've given up, so I'll just take the loss on that. It's simply not worth my time to chase this. Similar issue with the garage door opener: Only one of the two openers worked. Again, not the biggest issue but we were told they'd replace it. Six weeks later, I've given up on that as well and purchased a universal remote for about $20. Again, it's not about the money but it's rather baffling to get nickel and dimed over less than $120, after paying them over $300k cash and, again, it's simply not worth my time to chase this. The house itself is fine- Mostly cosmetic issues from sloppy work, but that's pretty common with any builder (this was my 6th new construction purchase). One thing they failed to remedy was the sliding glass door lock not locking the door. Thankfully, our (new) renter repaired himself, so at least that didn't cost me more money. Bottom line, we're satisfied with the deal and the house itself, it's the after-close issues which move this from a 5-star experience to 3-star. Would we do business with Lennar again? Yes, if the deal is right. I'd also come to expect little nitpicky issues to arise and understand they're not going to take care of things that should be easy fixes. My main concern would be if a big issue arises. If they don't take care of the minor stuff, one has to wonder what'll happen if it's a large cost fix. I would simply have to hope the house inspector we hire (as we do for every property we buy) will catch it and we don't close until repaired. Unfortunately, I completed Lennar's internal survey before it became clear they were not going to reimburse me for the above items. I really thought it would not be a big deal to get reimbursed. So my fault on that. Next time (if there is one), I'll wait until everything is resolved to my satisfaction before completing a survey. ... More

I think the sales agent was nice but the process which I’m sure is trained feels rushed and forced. You are not allowed to review documents. It’s sign and make a down payment. Will not be my last purchase but will definitely use a realtor or attorney going forward. Same thing for ky walk thru. Never got to noir or green tape so refused to sign for the walk thru. 2nd round although I taped half the tape was still up and not touched up. Overall I’m still happy with my purchase.

The experience was unacceptable from the start. We were misinformed about multiple important issues by the salesperson. The homeowner orientation was a joke. Noting was explained to us . When we asked about operating the pool we were told I don’t know I’m not a pool guy. We were given no information about how r trash was handled. Essentially nothing was explained to us.

I have an unfinished curb in front of my house 4-5 inch drop could lead to a serious injury exciting our vehicles from street, has not yet but come close , nothing been done

After the contract is signed and the first deposit is made Lennar's customer relations is poor. Every question was basically answered with the same response, "You signed the contract and there are absolutely no changes allowed by Lennar." For over 1 month I visited the construction site weekly and little of nothing was done. Materials sat in the home and yard but little work was accomplished. Lennar could change the closing date but the customer could not even request a closing date. Lennar said they had a new Quality Inspection that would take 1 week. A walk through with the customer and then Lennar needed a week to fix any items prior to closing. I scheduled a professional home inspector after the Lennar Quality Inspection and a great many deficient items were still found. After living in the house for 2 months I have found the quality of materials used by Lennar to be below expectations for the price of the home . Workmanship fair at best. Appliances of the lowest quality. I checked several appliance review sites and the GE appliances installed by Lennar are the lowest quality and price made by GE. In fact, I have already replaced a refrigerator at my own expense. Every step made on the second floor is a load noise on the first floor. Every toilet flush and shower used on the second floor is a loud water rushing sound on the first floor. When the AC or heat comes on it is like a Wind Tunnel in the first floor bedroom. I paid for the ungraded flooring and asked Lennar if the newer waterproof Vinyl plank flooring was available and was told "Lennar does NOT allow any changes to the design." I checked 3 companies and found the Vinyl plank was 2-4 thousand dollars less expensive than the upgraded ceramic planks I paid Lennar. I could go on and on but I am forced to live with my situation but I will continue to advise anyone through blogs, social media and in person to avoid doing business with Lennar. I have no objections to my full name being displayed. ... More

During the inspection before the house was delivered, we found that the concrete floor of the garage was cracked into spider webs. This is not what a new house should look like. We understand that the concrete cannot be dug out and re-poured after it is poured. We just asked for repairs until the floor looks crack-free. But your staff was perfunctory. They simply applied a layer to cover the floor. But the cracks in the concrete are still clearly visible. When we communicated and negotiated again, your people threatened that if we did not close the deal, they would confiscate our deposit. So this is the last house we bought from Lennar. We will also tell our friends not to buy houses from Lennar. ... More
