Lennar Reviews

Rushed to build home not great quality for price of home. Moved in November had nothing but problems for the past eight weeks.Not happy at all

Sales guy wasn’t truthful. Townhome was not move-in ready. Follow up getting things fixed has been painful. President of Coastal Carolina was non-responsive. On-site builder Scott is truly a nice guy trying his hardest.

I would not recommend putting anyone through the experience we had! Stay away from Lennar, and even further away from Lennar Finance!

The Lennar purchasing experience is a never ending resubmitting of paperwork, seemed like on a daily basis. The interfacing with the utility providers appeared to have never happened. Delays on water/sewer, because the proper forms weren't filed, the CATV took a month to get installed. Electricity was the only one not causing a problem, because they already had it turned on. Even after the sale, they kept contacting us for forms they lost somehow. Professional is not in their vocabulary. The sod in the yard is the worst job I've ever seen. Careful not to injure yourself trying to walk across the yard, or while mowing. One of the trees in our back yard is dead, notified them, no response. The garage door came out of it's track, I fixed it. Insulation does not cover the garage and leaves it very hot during the summer and the heat pores into the kitchen when the door is opened. As for the management of our purchase, Lennar couldn't coordinate anything. When moving from one group within Lennar to another, it was like starting over every time. Overall I would never buy from them again and will never recommend them to anyone not on my enemy list. ... More

Need urgently fix the response service and the level of communication with the buyers My house deed documents were send by a normal mail instead of a proper courier company like DHL,FEDEX Which caused documents to get lost , I was never asked whether how or when will the documents be sent , no communication whatsoever , this is just one example of lack of communication with the buyer and there are many more …

Home was dirty on move-in day - countertops, flooring and carpets. No hot water for a week. Sliding glass door wouldn't stay locked. Garage floor had globs of mudding all over. No one to go over all the tech installed. Now there's mice. Called exterminator. Lennar customer care doesn't want to take any responsibility.

Lennar messed up on the grass installation date that led to ALL the grass dying that Lennar had installed . I went by my verbal conversation with Kyle because I trusted him. When things went wrong he and the managers either went mute or told me to show something in written otherwise they can’t do anything. My total expenditure for this goof up is $3.5k!! Shane started telling me all about when the grass needs to be installed that Kyle or no one else mentioned when they should have. On top of that he said he won’t talk to the landscape company to see if they can give me the builder rate because it’s not his job. WOW! My fourth built with a builder and the worst of all! Every single builder I have built with has been courteous enough to correct their faults be it in written or not. I’ve told my realtor about it and his buyers went with LGI Homes and had a wonderful experience. Also left reviews so people know what your service is all about! Disgusting to the core! ... More

They don’t do anything over the bare minimum… unless you want to pay an arm and a leg. Avoid Lennar, Lennar Mortgage, and Lennar Title they’re all equally as bad and have horrendous customer service.

My family experience was horrible. Your staff needs better realtors. Don't ask me this again.

Abysmal experience with builder. Beware. Over 30 items on our punch list were ignored or halfway completed to satisfaction. Should have been a great experience as this was supposed to be my "last" home purchase in this 55 and older community. Instead, it was defeating and super stressful.

We had flooring issues and although I appreciate Lennar taking care of the issue our baseboards and walls were destroyed in the process. We were told painters cannot be scheduled until January and the damage is beyond what paint can fix. We had to do a key release for a week while the work was being done which is fine but the workers used our spare restroom and soiled our bath mats past being able to be cleaned and left urine stains on our toilet. The home was turned back over to us filthy. Lennar then had cleaners come the following morning after we requested and they cleansed the bathroom however the floor was still filthy. We have before and after photos for proof. We were extremely disappointed at the lack of professionalism and oversight on these issues. Our baseboards are a mess, holes everywhere and they do not even line up. ... More

Very difficult to get repair work completed. We also have a common area behind our property that we were told would be cleaned up and landscaped when we closed. We have been in our home for 4 months and cannot get the area cleaned up. It is very embarrassing.

The only thing good about our experience with Lennar was the sales rep. She was very nice and extremely responsive and helpful. Once we closed on the house, Lennar seemed to not care at all. They got their money and they wiped their hands of us. There have been so many issues already. We've been in the home only 4 months and have had to make a claim with warranty over 10+ times. There seems to have been absolutely no oversight on the build and it shows.

buyers pay close attention to details and don't close until u are truly satisfied . Corners cut in the workmanship. On closing day, 2 hours before our closing, and before we started our final walkthrough they had the audacity to show the home to potential buyers and it was very unprofessional, on closing day the floors were not cleaned and we weren't told not even who the utility company was until after a week we moved in and found out the water company was another utility company than we thought two-weeks after we moved in, we received garage openers a week after we moved in and we should have received them day of closing, ...

The home is really nice I like the fact that it’s included with the appliances customer service horrible if I had to do it again I would never buy a home from Lennar responsiveness really bad there’s still some issues that they haven’t resolved for me I would never Recommend any of my friends and family to buy through Lennar just based on their customer service

Unfortunately my buying experience wasn’t a smooth or pleasant one. The home itself is nice but the workmanship left much to be desired. Sloppy work had to be pointed out versus the workers recognizing their sloppy work and correcting it on the spot. The construction manager was awful. He did not communicate well with myself or the realtor; he failed to keep us in the loop of key milestones. When it came time for addressing issues my home inspector reported, it was always a challenge to get the issue rectified. It was one excuse after another. There was a point where the workers covered up an area that my inspector was going to reinspect once the repairs were done. As a result the area could not be inspected again. That was one instance of shady behavior. The sales people failed to step in at the very beginning when we had concerns. Once the contract was signed there was no reason for them to do anything else. My concern now is lack of street lighting anywhere near my home. It’s pitch black on my street and that is a safety/security concern especially bc I live alone. No one is able to provide answers on if and when a street light will be installed in my area of the neighborhood. I would love for someone to take my concern seriously and provide me with answers. ... More

Poor and lack of communication about the loan process from the loan processor and lack of follow up on the work orders.

Where do I begin...This, by far, was one of the worst experiences I have ever been through, from the beginning to the present. I am disgusted with Lennar and how nobody is accountable for their mistakes. My home was not move in ready. 6 months later, I am still dealing w/ getting things fixed because the craftsmanship of the build was poor. Dealing with the customer service team has been the only bright spot in this experience. Bless all of the customer care personnel for they have to deal with the mistakes of the poor building. All I get from the construction manager for my neighborhood was, "I came on when your house was 7/8 the way done...," as I said, no accountability. I wanted to pull out of this deal from the beginning when my sales rep continuously made multiple mistakes on the same document that I had to fill out not one, not two but three times only to get her coming back to say I should have caught the mistakes. Really??? In any sales transaction, the buyer and seller has rights, so I thought. In this transaction, my rights as the buyer were stripped of me. I was told I can pull out of the deal but...I'd lose my deposit of $15,000. So, I was forced to go through this process anyways. As I've said, one of the worst experiences ever. I bought new construction to avoid these issues. Extremely unhappy customer. ... More

Actual builder, Brad, is great! Super responsive and gets things done correctly himself. Salesman, Tommy, is a completely different story. He rarely if ever responded to questions or issues addressed.

Roof leaked after rainstorm. Many small repairs needed, e.g., painting, draws sticking, door locks not working, problems with pool fence, shelves in cupboards. Lennar Customer Care has been very good so far but don't know when leaking roof will be repaired. Cheap towel bars and hardware. This was a very expensive home and we are so disappointed in Lennar.

The materials you use are embarrassingly bad. How can you put those super cheap showers in and not offer an upgrade. The whole house needs to be redone. The toilets even clog with just toilet paper because you got the cheapest you can find. The price was always changing using one for the first few homes then just raising it a lot more. Was not impressed at all about that.

Poor design slow response appliance package is junk

My wife and I had possibly the worst experience buying a house through Lennar. Not only did Lennar ruin our first home buying experience, but we are still finding things around our brand new house that constantly need fixes. First off, when we purchased our house, back in March 2019, we purposely bought a house that was not going to be ready until March 2020. Pamela and Derrick had both told us that our house was going to be completed around March 2020, it might even be later. We were completely okay with that. Well, a few months go by and I get a call from Derrick telling us that the house will be completed sooner than expected. I asked when and he said probably January 2020. That was still doable... We weren't thrilled but weren't upset. Then my wife had a meeting with Pamela and our construction manager in September/October 2019 and they told us it's going to be finished November 2019. We said that's not okay, that we are still in a lease with our apartment, weren't financially ready and we had recently found out my wife was pregnant. We told them to push it back to January if possible and Pamela said, "We can't do that because we need to close this house before the end of the year for our numbers." I don't care about Lennar's numbers. I cared about having to pay money to break our apartment lease, not putting as much down on our house because it was sooner than expected, and dealing with the stress of finding out we're going to be new parents. The whole process was TERRIBLE and I've already been telling family and friends about Lennar's customer service. Not only did we go through that, but we are also experiencing issues around the house already. We hear a LOUD knocking whenever anyone takes a shower, our garbage disposal stopped working, our grout wasn't applied correctly in our shower, (A guy came and looked at it and said whoever applied this did a terrible job) our stairs do NOT match our floors in our house, and a window upstairs was not sealed correctly. It's been very very frustrating and I wish I could move out of this house already. ... More

Home had several workmanship issues. For the price we paid, we should have went with another builder.

Just terrible new home owner experience. Definitely will not buy Lennar home again. This was my first time buying it and I ignored the reviews that sad bad about Lennar but now I know.
