Lennar Reviews

Please keep away from Lennar. They tell you one thing and then do something in the back. When questioned, they say, "oh my mistake" etc or delegate that messaging to someone else. No one really takes responsibility for the mistakes.

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION !WE WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT A DELAY ON OUR HOME BEING BUILT UNTIL WE MADE LENNAR AWARE THAT OUR HOUSE WAS RUNNING MONTHS BEHIND.... WE CLOSED 2 MONTHS AFTER THEIR "WORST CASE SCENARIO DATE". THEY HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED AND THEY DO NOT COMMUNICATE WELL WITH EACH OTHER OR THE CONSUMER... MAIN PROBLEM IS ETTA , HE A SALESMAN AT LENNAR AND TELLS EVERYONE THAT LENNAR STANDS BEHIND WHAT THEY DO, BUT THATS NOT THE CASE... THEY HAVE SCREENED IN PORCH AS A STANDARD FEATURE ON ALL OF THEIR HOMES IN WILLOW SQUARE. ETTA TOLD US THEY DID NOT INCLUDE IT IN OUR ORDER AND THAT THEY WILL NOT INSTALL IT, EVENTHOUGH THEY HAVE INSTALLED EVERYONE ELSES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SAID WE COULD FIND SOMEONE TO INSTALL IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1500.00 TO 2,000.00 DOLLARS. WE GO TO OUR CLOSING AND WAITED 3 HOURS TO GO HOME HEARTBROKEN AND CONFUSED. ETTA WOULD NOT ANSWER HIS PHONE WHILE WE WERE WAITING, AND WHEN HE FINALLY DID - 3 HRS WAITING AT THEIR OFFICE - HE SAYS THE COUNTY DID NOT SIGN OFF ON A FORM.... AND NO APOLOGY , OK ATLEAST TELL US INSTEAD OF HAVING US TAKE OFF WORK FOR NOTHING! AFTER WE CLOSED AND MOVED THEY FAILED TO INSTALL SEVERAL THINGS AND REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR ONLY TO GET AN ANSWER FROM ETTA SAYING THERES NO USE, I HAVE ALREADY ASKED THE MANAGER , AND THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER... THEY ALSO RAISED THE PRICE DUE TO " MARKET CONDIITIONS" AND TRIED TO PLAY A GAME OF BIDDING WARS EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO OTHER BUYERS BIDDING, THEY JUST SAID THIS IS THE NEW PRICE - 30K HIGHER THAN ADVERTISED. SO IN SHORT THEY DO NOT MAKE ANY GOODWILL TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY, AND TELL THE CONSUMER WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR! ... More

Poor workman ship Had to request VP sales to assist me to get things fixed

I just bought the home and the appliances needed to switched out abs a bathroom leak started. All of this is putting my property on pause for a month due to lack of builders attention and appliances are the worse!

Lennar builds decent homes with functional floor plans, but they have no scruples and will keep on smiling while they ignore any request you make and any obligation they have to create decent communities. Their sales agents were unhelpful and unresponsive, their main office staff were rude, and they sold the houses on BOTH sides of me to an investor who’s now rented one to people who are violating our city occupancy limits. The tenants have five cars parked up and down the block, and trash in the front yard. The house on the other side of me sits empty and abandoned, but honestly that’s better than the alternative. It’s sad to think that in a neighborhood where houses cost from the high $500s to the mid $700s, Lennar cares so little about what happens once they pull out and move on. They’re the very definition of a slick self-serving corporation. My region is high-growth with skyrocketing home prices and very low inventory, so when we wanted to downsize we had few options, but if I had to do it again, I’d definitely buy from the other builder in the neighborhood who is local, and skip corporate, faceless Lennar. ...

Quality of work on the house wasn’t what we expected. There’s a lot of things that still need to be fixed and it’s been 2 since I closed. They need to be more attentive to there customers.

I'm just glad it's over, and I'll leave it right there!

To be honest since day one I've been having bad experience with Lennars Home from the day I gave my deposit until my closing date plus things that currently have not been fixed when I was advised it will only take a week after my closing date. Just unacceptable.

My experience was horrible since we felt were forced to sign on a house that wasnt to our liking. I had a better experience with KB homes then Lennar. I expected more from Lennar since theyre "BETTER" then KB homes but my experience with KB was excellent compared to Lennar. My home feels like it was slapped together just for us to sign and move in.

Not a good experience at all. Quality is not a priority. Management has worked to make things right. However, the experience is ruined and the home is not what we expected.

Poor experience. House built poorly. Still finding garbage everywhere they put the sod down over garbage I had to pull roof shingles out from underneath my lawn. Very disappointed.

Long story short, 47 days after closing on my property I am not able to move-in due to several deficiencies that violate building codes, industry standards, manufacturer’s requirements, and/or required building performance standards as identified by a structural engineer. A week ago, the county issued a correction order. Lennar Homes knew of several deficient areas prior to settlement and still forced me to close or lose my deposit and closing costs ($80K). Given the situation, I had no choice but to purchase the property. I am now working with the Customer Care Department to make all corrections. I am not pleased and this process has been a total and complete nightmare. All of this could have been avoided if the property was built correctly. ... More

I have owned over 20 homes through out the years and this is the worst experience thus far . I have been in the home over 6 weeks and still with a lot of unresolved issues . The last issue that happened yesterday is that they came to replaced the masters bedroom carpet and in the process they damaged the frame of the closet door and even forgot to put it back in it’s place . I will have to spend another day from my business schedule to wait for work men again. This is just not acceptable and the list goes on ….

You should consider taking your business to another builder.

Based on my personal experience and some of the fine people I have met in the neighborhood I wouldn't recommend Lennar! The home buying experience should be a joyful time in your life especially your retirement home and they took the joy out of the process and turned it into a nightmare and they can't give that back to my wife and I no matter how much the eventually try to correct the poor workmanship and fit and finish.

Closed 2 months ago, still couldn’t move in due to issues not addressed as of yet

I was forced to close the house on 11/30/21 just so that Lennar can report the sales before year-end closing. Closing was originally scheduled for online and later changed to notary. Signing was done at 11pm EST on 11/30 which was completely unreasonable. Sales/title company were unresponsive; lack of proper planning/communication (as everyone was overwork). The whole street is not even available on google map. All the houses around me are still under going construction. Rajmani is the only one that's responsive and be able to provide great service.

AFTER we moved in we found MANY cut corners and issues of rushed or shoddy construction standards BEHIND appliances, still unable to get RING DOORBELL and security system set up, when you buy a NEW home this should not happen, during walk through notice front door needed to be painted now it doesn't hang right and is difficult to lock. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

BEWARE OF WHAT YOU PURCHASE FROM LENNAR DURING THESE TIMES. QUALITY OF MATERIALS, WORKMANSHIP AND SENIOR MANAGMENTS OVERSIGHT OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AT PRESENT IS NON EXISTENT! ONLY CONCERN BY MANAGMENT IS DRIVING SALES, NOT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!

Don't close until home is complete to your satisfaction.

My wife and I fell in love with Lennar's models and neighborhoods. The construction quality looked pretty solid as well. That said, we ended up going through 4 Lennar Realtors. Each worse than the last: we caught them lying, they'd yell at us, even manipulated the contract without our consent. There were several grievous actions we'd observed from the realtor team. When escalated to the regional manager, he only advised that perhaps I should get some education on how the home buying process worked. My personal realtor and I were dumbstruck by this response. Our final Lennar realtor didn't bother showing up to turn the keys over to us. There was no celebration for the event. I did catch him sneaking around the back to put the keys in a drawer. That way, he didn't have to see us. By that point, he'd already declined all my requests to meet in person. I spent the first official hour in the new house cleaning out debris and construction waste from the garage. After a frustrating month in the 'new smart home', along with several requests for assistance, I was finally informed nothing worked because the smart hub wasn't installed. We weren't even given keys to the locked smart hub area in the laundry room (still don't have them). No one can even confirm if we own the Internet Modem, or are renting it from Cox. We get conflicting answers. Circling back to our experience locking in the property: Lennar informed us we could buy in May and move in by August. So we sold our home and stayed in temporary housing. Lennar then chose to delay the sale of the property by 3 months to increase the price by $200,000. This was after we'd already paid $1000 down for a chance to purchase the lot and home. In the end, we found every aspect of the Lennar experience to be stressful, misleading and/or corrupt. Currently, the remaining construction defects are being addressed by Lennar blaming the contractor and the contract blaming Lennar. And we're stuck in the middle. Unfortunately, our latest Lennar customer associate is incredibly lazy and difficult to deal with. Like I said, beautiful homes. Absolutely dismal customer experience. ... More

Overall bad experience due to sales office.

I would never purchase another Lennar Home again. The buying experience as well as the structural issues we faced were appalling and costly. The lack of communication throughout the process was the worst I’ve ever dealt with. Our 3rd party inspector released a 35 page report of everything that needed to get fixed, replaced, upgraded, re-wired or replaced before we moved in. The house flooded 2 days before closing. The exterior of the home was not was we seen or expected on any signed docs, models or brochures. Overall the worst buying experience for our first home. THE WORST!

The process was not what I wanted to experience for buying my first home. I was pre-approved for a loan went through the process for a walk through of the home. After the walk through was told did not qualify. Alternative loan (non Lennar company) company was great. For repair of items in home takes multiple attempts or extended period of time for reply.

Absolutely awful home buying experience! There was zero communication about delays or the building process. The home was not ready for our walkthrough. Closing was moved multiple times with little to no notice. We attempted to contact customer “service” and NO ONE responded. Would not recommend Lennar as a builder. The entire experience left us disappointed and took the excitement out of buying our home.
