Lennar Reviews

The worse home buying experience of my entire life!!

Signed our first home with lot of hopes, but we had a very bad experience with Lennar team (Sales, Mortgage). We had to close the home in APR, unfortunately my father in law was passed away during that time. We had to go to our home country for his final rituals. So we have requested for reschedule the “Final closing”. They have agreed and provided the new date. When we are at “Final closing” table, they have added 1 month penalty of 2800$ for the delay. We were shocked and surprised. Then we and our realtor called the Lennar team sales person and requested explanation of this penalty. But he was arrogant, never listened our version, instead they threatened like anything. If you withdraw now, we won’t give your deposit, he insisted like this. We had no option, either loose 2800$ or 10000$ deposit amount. We had no choise, so proceeded with the closing. Out first home, we thought it would be happy and precious moment in our life. But lennar team ruined this. I do not encourage anyone to buy a property with this company. I can share the Lennar team names who ruined our first home buying experience. ... More

The builders just do sloppy work on the inside and don’t take any pride in it

Disappointed is the nicest word I can use. Maryanne in sales couldn't answer any questions; Alex in mortgage started out fine but then wouldn't respond to voicemail or emails; Title called on a Sunday night and said we had to sign on Monday (because apparently we don't have jobs or lives). Courtney who did our walk was amazing. She was proactive, thorough, and professional. Paul who met with us about our warranty was also great; very knowledgeable and helpful.

Multiple issues with no reply. Repeatedly lied about the house and the area. Most homes in my subdivision have serious issues and they are not being addressed

Terrible, terrible experience all around with this builder. I closed on a property by Lennar. I called the City of Dallas Water Utility service on the next business day and was told a building permit remained opened on the property. I notified the construction manager promptly as well as Lennar Warranty service, only to be told that it will be addressed on that week, then the week after, and every week I got the same story. I had to inform them that I needed to move in and gave them a few weeks to figure it out, but as long as the permit remains open the City wouldn’t allow me to establish water/sewer/trash pick up service. Instead of enjoying new homeownership, we had to stress about how to dispose of our trash, how long this process will take. i wrote a dozen emails and texts to the salesperson, construction managers without a satisfactory resolution. I further reached out to discuss the issue with trash service with them, only to be ignored by the on-site construction managers repetitively. “You need to contact the salesperson”, “we are working on it”, “there is nothing to worry about”. Only until I involved an attorney, their regional construction manager replied to my email and provided some information, as well as closely pushed for the resolution. Turned out, they did not schedule an inspection line required by the city (they blamed it on the city’s), and when they did, the city found an issue and required further remedy. Therefore, it took weeks. The regional construction manager reluctantly agreed to provide trash pick up service during the process, but even this was a hit or miss (some day they just didn’t come and we had to left the trash out on the street). The whole process took 5 weeks to resolve. What a nightmare. ... More

while we like the floorplan, the location of the development, and the view we have from our back lanai, the poor quality of construction, Lennar's slow response to issues and general poor attitude toward customers leaves a great deal to be desired. We cant in good conscious recommend Lennar, and sadly would suggest those looking, look elsewhere

The worst part is the finance team they are terrible and untrustworthy the lie and they do don't keep their word I will never buy lennar again and I will make sure people know about it!

Lennar salesman doesn’t respond after the earnest money was given. They didn’t clean at all after the home orientation. When i was there after the closing, everything was as it is when we left after orientation. Little things like pull string on the conduit was not there for utility cable to go to the security box, front and back trees were not properly dug into the ground. Some of the ring security sensors were missing. Paints on the floor and windows are not properly cleaned. They said it gonna be construction clean but not at all.Overall bad experience.

I had bug issue one month after moved in. There have been bugs in the bed daily, which is not a living situation and not able to compromise according to my tenant. It was identified as springtail came from mulch they put in the front yard. Although those area are covered by HOA, but as a matter of fact, those mulch were put in by the builder. Lennar should be responsible to fix this issue. I have contacted to field service rep and he refused to to anything to remedy the situation. I am very disappointed. I am in the process of purchasing another house in the same community. Now I am reconsidering my decision. ... More

We would never purchase a Lennar home after our experience. The process was rushed. At our walk throughs most items were not addressed. The overall craftsmanship of these homes is very poor and disappointing. We keep unveiling issues, and the contractors used for the warranty have all been low quality. Basically they are trying to put bandaids over everything rather than fixing the issue. Everything about this house is just sloppy.

What is suppose to be a great home buying experience has definately been extremely horrible, since the beginning from the loan to moving in. Problem after problem with a BRAND NEW home. Only person who has been a pleasure to work with has been Alex. He has been on top of EVERYTHING that has been wrong with my home. Just wow!! I don't know about recommending Lennar!!

My 2nd Lennar home. What a huge (bad) difference in build quality and materials compared to first home. No gutters. No sprinkler system. Side boards are very soft, dry wall very soft. Paint is very bright white. Counter top is nice but very cheap because it stains quickly. Bathroom faucets are the cheapest on the market, same goes for the sink. Had electrical issue first week, service request put me on a viral call (the construction manager assisted with the issue, it was a wiring issue). Had a mouse get in the garage the first week because they left a open space under the water heater. Several insects are in the bathroom every morning (clearly something is not fully closed off...). Chalk used in bathroom is the cheapest, it's already turning color. Floor gets stained easily and stains don't come out...I could go and on about the cheap built of the house... ... More

Horrible experience off the bat. Realtor lied about the property line. house wasn’t finished when it was supposed To be on our “final walkthrough”. I felt very rushed and pressured to sign paperwork. I will never buy a lennar home again.

The "Lennar Experience" is an absolute joke. I knew what I was getting into with a cookie cutter new build but I was not expecting the process and employees to be the worst part of the whole experience. If I could do it again I would run away. Our CM, Tate, was an absolute disaster and was more worried telling me about some facebook group that complains about him then actually fixing problems we pointed out at 3 different walk throughs. The fact he still has a job shows Lennar has zero care about quality and just pumps them out. Since moving in a few months ago we have had over 10 different warranty visits and 3 different CMs come clean up Tate's issues. The only saving grace is the warranty claims representative has been so understanding and communicates well. Which is the complete opposite from what the way sales and construction team operate. Its almost as if Lennar purposely pumps these houses out just to let Warranty team deal with fall out. ... More

I have serious concern on price transparency and also the structure and material used . The garage does not have proper structure to park two cars. The stairs from the garage to the main floor is quite elongated. No washer and drawer are included in that package while this was known but when compared with other property seller near by there are better deal available. I don’t think I’m gonnna recommended Lennar to anyone.

Very poor quality. They show you a model home, then drop the bomb on you, it don't come with this and that, bait and switch. Put cabinets in with NO knobs to open them with. Much much more.

Horrible experience, would not recommend

Only person that was phenomenal was the loan officer, Amy, her response to all questions and all concerns were answered promptly as far as construction and sales. Their attention and response was absolutely horrifying and I would never purchase a home from Leonard again, nor would I recommend anyone to my family or my s purchase from Lennar

I wouldn't buy from Lennar Aston Park. From the get go, they did not appear trust worthy. The mortgage officer started out by misleading about the loan requirements. The underwriting process was cumbersome, and I had to basically do the job of the underwriter by writing all my income, sources, and how they were spent in the last 3-6 months in an email. Apparently, sharing my bank statements and other relevant official document was not enough. Walkthrough personnel was not polite. After closing, it was a hassle to get the keys. You have to be there at exactly 11am. Not before, not after. I found the garage door had a large dent after closing. This wasn't there during the walkthrough. Overall, just a terrible buying experience. I wouldn't recommend this subdivision to anyone. ... More

My buying experience was very bad with Lennar, starting from salesperson to the entire sales team gave me hard time, poor communication while your home is getting built, they can lie about anything to just sell the home. I had a very good experience with Pulti homes, and they have excellent customer Servies, i will never ever buy a Lennar home again.

Closing took over 10 hours, delayed 4 times while I waited in a U Haul. Nothing was fixed that was asked for. None well return phone calls. 2 months later we still can't get mail. Workers speed up and down the road plus trash keeps blowing in the yard. Can't reach HOA about rules.

Customer service was awful and the home buying experience was terrible.

Aside from being bullied into purchasing a home that at the end of the day was built improperly. And I do not want. The walls are uneven. There's areas where the ceiling is lower on one side of a wall than the other. My glass door that should have been included in the house that I had to buy separately because they decided. They're no longer providing glass for the showers. And didn't even lower the price of the house because of it. I couldn't install it because I have to redo the entire shower wall because it's Bode. Meaning that it's not level. It's not even This has been an issue throughout the entire house. The things that I thought I was gonna be able to buy. That would have been extra because of all the things that they said were included. I couldn't purchase because by the time we close on the house. None of the things that were promised were there. No backsplash, no washer and dryer. The counters were incorrect. The sink was incorrect. The shower glass was no longer being a part of the house. I had to make those purchases taking money away from things that we were originally gonna do to add to the house. I've never been robbed in my life. But I can wholeheartedly say I know what it feels like. ... More

Never going with Lennar and would recommend others to do the same. I bought Lennar's property Canyon Creek at Bothell WA and they constructed homes right behind my backyard. My home's privacy is compromised, obviously they did this after selling houses in the row and then building behind. Untrustworthy.
