Lennar Reviews

Horrible buying experience. The house got delayed for 6 months from the expected closed date. I am still working with the builder for fixing all the issues two months after closer.

Unfortunately my agent did not check in with me regularly to give me updates. My closing date was pushed back 5 times. The last 2 times I was notified in less than 48 hours. The delays turned out not to be due to the supply chain issues but instead Lennar dropped the ball with city permits and permits for my gas meter. I was given the excuse that they lost construction staff in my neighborhood. When I moved in the "deep clean" was not done and several items needed work. It took about 3-4 weeks to resolve. Unfortunately for my subdivision it seemed as though no one was communicating with each other. It wasn't the happy new home ownership experience that I SHOULD have had. ... More

Issues from start to finish. Deadline was off by 6 weeks, major incomplete projects after closing, NO timely responses, several points have to be deducted for quality of craftsmanship and supplies.

It was very poor and difficult to get answers until the deadline, I felt like I was bothering them when I didn’t understand something.

Lennar used pressure sales techniques - it was clear very early on in the process that it was about moving product for them - they cared very little about whether the buyer was having a positive experience. they approached each piece of the buying process as " do it now or we will just replace you with the next buyer" at one point they sent over a 45 pg document at 11;30pm on a Sunday night and expected it signed by 9am the next morning - classless, ruthless & purely profit motivated

Horrible experience…we purchased home last April with move in date of September/October move in date. Lennar continue to push us back and back further and further with finally closing February 28th 2022.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail has been poor. Many sloppy errors and work left unfinished. Follow-up has been terrible. I am two months past closing date and nothing has been resolved. Appointments made and not fulfilled.

Our Lender was absolutely horrible and would never refer anyone to utilize LENNAR mortgage

They will lie to your face and tell you things that won’t happen ! Tammy who we had was extremely Rude ! To us every time she called and emailed us ! They are great actors ! They pretend to care but they really don’t ! They will not be truthful about material delays etc. They just avoid you ! Not a great experience ! I went to check on our house, And one of there employees took a crap in our toilet that had no water hooked up to it And they left it in there and stuck up the whole basement ! And they got mad at me for letting them know ! Be careful dealing with this Builder !

Not very happy with the experience overall.

This is a 410k house but like 100k. Nothing is even, straight, or symmetrical. You should be ashamed of yourselves for selling this. Also, can we get a translator when someone comes to make touch ups or repairs? Soo far the communication is awful and they leave worse than it started and have no idea what we are saying. This entire house is a disappointment and until it’s fixed I’m recommending no one

My experience with Lennar was extremely horrible and made my first time home buying process a nightmare. For several years, I knew I wanted a Lennar home based on the reputation and quality of the homes. When a Lennar community was planned in the exact area I’ve wanted, I knew it was a great opportunity for myself so I made sure to be prepared once the homes became available, which I was and began the process right away the end of Feb. 2021. I was originally told my home would be ready by the end of July and from there the nightmare began, it was delay after delay. In these unprecedented times with Covid, delays were understandable, but 7 whole months? I was given many different reasons and believed the next delay was the final one, but it wasn’t. I feel Lennar was absolutely inconsiderate and thought/believed that they could just find another buyer if I decided to pull out of the purchase. During all my delays, I had multiple family and friends also purchasing new homes from different builders that started their process after mine and somehow moved in their homes months before me. I understand there were different situations, but a 7 month delay is not acceptable. The plan for myself was to upgrade to a bigger Lennar home in a few years, but after this experience I will definitely be purchasing from a different builder and will strongly encourage family and friends to use other builders as well and not to consider Lennar. ...

Financing people are not the best and sales person was not supportive and interactive

Don't believe any closing dates or promises made that are not in writing. I understand the supply chain and labor issues but this sale, closing and quality of product received was the worst home buying experience that I've ever had and I've had more than a few.

The market is so crazy! We went to the Bonita Springs office and met with Rick - salesman - who told us that Lennar was taking bids for the remaining lots. He said that he would not be doing it that way. They had 2 lots opening soon and that he was naming the price. He said in order to be considered for the lots, we couldn’t have a realtor to represent us and that we needed to be cash buyers! A couple days later we were passed off to his coworker Susie. We went along with these business tactics because we wanted a house in that community. We had a bigger home a street over and a carriage home. We knew the Community was Lovely! Lennar does know how to build a community. It just our experience with the salesman that was ver questionable. We were given a closing date. They wanted our money , but could not guarantee we could have occupancy. We closed and Our home was also in very bad shape when we moved in. They are managing to get all of the work done on the punch list. The other homes we purchased from Lennar were a much nicer experience. ... More

There are so many issues. The quality of workmanship is terrible. The response: it's a production home. Yes, I paid over $900,000 for a "production home." The pool does not work. There is a panel missing by the equipment which, once actually installed, would permit me to run the pool from the panel (also missing) inside my house. I spent nearly $250,000 to rip out the utterly ridiculous work on the inside and replace it with quality elements more appropriate for a now million dollar home 45 minutes from the coast. The hot water heater does not provide enough hot water for a ten minute shower. The person in change of your warranty program confided that it will take months to get to the warranty items. Windows don't lock. Frames are crooked. An interior wall is so bowed that a closet designer could not complete the installation. There is trash everywhere. There was no pre-closing cleaning...I had to pay for the house to be cleaned. The electrical panel/circuits were poorly set up. I had to pay an electrician to correct the problems. Why should I have to wait months for Lennar to do what they should have done before closing? In sum...never again. Your company stinks. ... More

I had a bad experience with the prefer lender assigned by Lennar his name is Carlos Echeverry and when I did the closing my house had many unfinished details which were never solved.

As a returning customer our buying experience with Lennar has not been favorable. They missed delivering home on time, unexperienced construction manager & new home consultant.

The overall experience was terrible I had to wait 19 months since I started my first payment and when we closed there was lost of items incomplete, not a good way to do business, we work hard to earn our dollars and we were treated poorly, craftsmanship bad, not a quality control system, lots of imperfections across the all house.

The only positive thing I can say is they have nice floor plans. This has not been a good nor even decent experience. Shoddy workmanship and unethical practices from Lennar.

After living in the home for a week, you start to notice the cheap materials use and terrible workmanship. All of our knobs had tiny paint splatter, the carpet wasn't vacuumed - not even once (we have a toddler running around), dried paint can be found throughout the home, nails still protruding out through the carpet to name a few issues. Overall terrible experience, we felt rushed through our new home orientation and caught what we can.

Bad experience overall. I was looking forward to my new home, and unfortunately I was faced with many disappointments.

Lennar does, under no circumstances, care about its buyers. They knowingly (construction manager admitted it) cut corners to get homes done in time. They then fail repeatedly to schedule contractors to fix the cut corners. Sales is an entirely different nightmare.

I moved into a home with poor workmanship (from a crack in the tub, cracks throughout entire house related to paint near stairs and crown molding, hole in closet and bedroom window, hole in kitchen cabinet, cabinet scuffs and scratches, evenly cut floor tile in kitchen, poor brick work, drywall in yard, damage to walls near butler pantry and behind kitchen exhaust, poorly painted bathroom mirror, poor tile work in master bath, etc.). To make matters worst, customer service is absolutely horrible!! There is no acknowledgment, follow up, or any level of good service provided by my appointed contact. He is the worst person I’ve ever worked with, and he is not held accountable. I moved into my house on November 30 and reported issues beginning December 6. My issues still exist. ... More

Be careful of the quality and workmanship.
