Lennar Reviews

Very dissatisfied with the home, paid over $600K and having to do a lot of things to get it to the way we want it, cheap cabinets, plain counter tops, all white, no color, no towel racks or medicine cabinets! A shell of a home!! I wish I would have not purchased this tome

Run far away. Lennar uses subpar materials and even poorer contractors. So many problems with our new house. And when you call they just lie and deflect. Horrible company. Horrible customer service. The worst experience possible. Buy anything else.

This has been tiresome and disappointing all the way around from beginning to end. The salesperson misled us on when amenities would be completed, the unit wasn't finished even though we traveled a great distance for our closing & to move in, no one ever reached out to say it was delayed. Even after we moved in the work wasn't completed and was shoddy. In just 2 months we've had to constantly get into touch with them for issues (referred to warranty) and schedule workers to come. Yesterday 2 guys came to fix one thing and we discovered after they left they made a gash in the Sheetrock in the process .... it's always like 1 step forward 2 steps back. I cannot wait to sell and find another better quality built place. ... More

Working with loan officer was a terrible experience although I don’t have any issues with the builder.

From beginning to end, this home-buying experience has been a nightmare. The salesman was unresponsive to our issue with an unfinished garage wall. The Title Company used by the builder was also responsive to our requests to meet in person for the purchase agreement signing. Worst of all, they recorded the WRONG names with the county. When asked when it would be corrected, I had to file two complaints with Headquarters in order to get things fixed. As of yet, they are still not recording our requested language in the warranty deed, as other title companies have done for us, after putting us in touch with their staff attorney. Since this is standard language for joint tenancy, which is allowable in Texas, there should be no questions on legality, and yet we have had a string of issues with Lennar. ... More

Horrible experience from beginning to end

Highly recommend being involved throughout the build, any corner to be cut will be cut by builder. Shady operation with lowest quality materials, paint, cabinets, flooring etc. Expect to be stone walled. Highly recommend hiring an inspector before closing. They will not let you on the roof to inspect roofing until after closing and this is a no drone zone. Meet the builder was halfway decent with Brian although orientation and final walk through was unpleasant. Fixed that were made were done cheaply and unprofessional, chipped cabinets especially. Warranty representative (Mitch) was especially rude, inexperienced, unknowledgeable, acted like he knew things that he didn’t, had brash sense of humor, unfriendly, was speaking over people especially buyers, brushing things off as no big deal, and had no accountability. Mitch should be relieved of his job. There are other things that are still lacking attention and we hesitate to address these items due to not wanting to deal with Mitch specifically. I could make a long list about issues with the home, but at this point I’m tired of the battle. ... More

We are first time home buyers and were drawn in by Lennars "easy home buying process" and "everything included". The entire process was a nightmare (minus our amazing sells rep Heather and Warranty/Construction rep Brett). You are 100% just a number to this corporation and they do not care about you, your family or the investment you're making. They have no communication internally, so you have the same conversations with different departments and have to submit the same paperwork over and over again. We even asked some of the team members if they communicated across teams and they laughed and said NO. Every department was a headache and you had to constantly remind them to get things done. The biggest lie they told us was that they no longer provide blinds for our style of homes, even though the homes we toured had blinds. After meeting our new neighbors (who all closed on homes after us) we quickly found out that was a lie and Lennar gave all of them blinds throughout their entire home. WOW. what a joke. I wish I was surprised but that's how this whole process has been. No communication, no integrity, no care for the home buyer and never any consistency. We've already told all of our friends and family the nightmare of a process this has been and tell everyone to find a different company to purchase from. Save yourself the headache and hassle- they do not care about you, they will lie to you, and they will cut corners. They do have a few shining stars that actually care about you - Heather and Brett are incredible humans. Very grateful for them. Lennar should make them trainers and allow them to teach the rest about customer service and care. Overall- NIGHTMARE experience. We'll never buy from them again. ... More

The home consultant used predatory methods to rush me into making a decision to sign a purchase agreement. He was also unprofessional with his communication and didn’t upload the information into my portal that I needed for this to be a smooth process after settlement. The construction manager has not been knowledgeable on various processes that he should have a firm grasp on. The entire process has been beyond stressful and most of the customer care reps have provided mediocre customer service that is just going through the motions and not taking the time to understand the issues. Ultimately, Lennar moved people in before the community was ready. We have suffered the consequences of a rushed project and it is quite unfortunate. There also needed to be better communication with the lending process. I recommend choosing a different brand of appliances for your next project because the number of issues we’ve had in this brand new home are astonishing. What I’ve written here doesn’t do justice to how outrageous the experience has been with Lennar. Disappointed is an understatement. ... More

I went through different models and they all had white cabinets. I was told I was getting white cabinets, got gray. Was told to bad, you signed the contract. This is what you get, there are no options. Was told if I wanted a custom build, I had to go to a custom builder. I moved in and was trying to get cable hooked up, which is part of the HOA and there was a problem. I spent all day leaving messages and not once was called back. Finally at 4:30 I found someone who guided me in the right direction. Found beer cans in my cabinet while they were still building. Which explains some of the shoddy work done. When I moved in the floors were filthy, windows dirty, grout dirty, line of ants climbing up an outside wall into AC pipe. These are all things noted during the walk-through. I didn’t move in until two months after my closing, I was on a trip, and none of these things were taken care of. Cheapest appliances made. So if you want shoddy work and no choices about anything, which I was willing to live with a farmers sink, I wanted a split sink, which wall you are dictated to put your tv on, a tiny one car garage that you can’t put your golf cart and car in at the same time, which I find strange because it is a golf community, then Lennar is your builder. ...

Purchased home for $281,000 supposedly on a deal. 6 days after we closed Lennar drops prices on identical house to $271,000. This is stealing from a customer. Spoke to Greg the salesman and he said there is nothing he can do. I felt like i was dealing with a car salesman. Will never purchase from Lennar again and ive told all friends, family, neighbors, and anyone i come across to never ever purchase from Lennar.

Though I have informed about cracks in the foundation, they were not fixed Reported about Ant hill before closure, it was not just an ant hill , it was an infestation of ants and was just watered, but not fixed before closure

If I could give MORE then ZERO stars to Lennar it would not be enough. Working with Lennar Homes was absolutely HORRIBLE from the very start. I will NEVER EVER recommend. Workmanship is horrible for the price we paid. Lennar took away the so called wonderful home buying experience which we will never get. Thanks Lennar for DESTROYING our dream, be proud of yourself.

My biggest issue was the low skill level of sub contractors with paint and chalking of trim. Over paint on door hinges was ridiculous! The chalking was applied in a haphazardly method Low quality level of appliances, especially washer/dryer and dishwasher! Issues presented were not attended to by construction manager. I literally had to chase him down around the development! Overall, it was a very poor experience.

The sand and water comes thru the windows and door. The slider door falls off. The garage door is on on the track. The response to fix these issues is none.

My Lennar loan officer was not trustworthy or responsive. He didn’t respond to several voicemail over a 4 week period and it cost me .25% on my rate. He claimed to not remember how much money I had for a down payment. This was discussed in our initial call & multiple times thereafter. He did a poor job of fully explaining options & even stated that Lennar’s promise to pay closing costs was “just marketing “! When I arrived to my home orientation, the entire interior had not been painted & there were drywall flaws throughout. The painters were rushing to finish the day of final walkthrough & closing. The finishing work was absolutely terrible! The interior doors were warped, damaged & hung unevenly. The sod was dead in the front & back yards and my sprinkler system still doesn’t work after 7 weeks. I’ve had to schedule repair work with 6 different sub contractors so far. I’m very disappointed with Lennar. ... More

Months in they pushed closing date and made no progress for more than 6weeks on walk through we had holes in wall no fridge door no molding closet doors still not hung, tile missing grout, walls and ceiling was bowed…36 problems noted. Now the second walk through was much netter but we still had issues with promise to return as well as covering expenses for an extended stay in hotel due to first walk through and we are now almost two months in and no word.

I went with Lennar because I was under the impression it was a reputable company. The mortgage department is extremely unorganized causing a lot of unnecessary time, work, and stress. At closing, the end of June, there was a list of items still not complete. I was promised the items would be promptly addressed. As of today, 8/23, not one item has been taking care of. Would not recommend Lennar.

Please, please check Lennars review before buying!!! By far WORST experience ever. Bunch of idiots working there! Workmanship BAD! Very bad! Walls crooked, not responding to work requests and retaliation are just some of their qualities. Scott (main lennar builder guy) on question why is my half million dollars house so poorly built answered that he personally couldn’t afford one. Obviously, he cannot build one either. Never ever again. Do mot buy, save yourself headache.

Was a horrible experience, no communication whatsoever at any moment and builder was horrible

Poor quality construction Poor post closing support Very good marketing team

This has been the worst experience of my life

During my final walk- through inspection, I noted several items that needed taken care of and informed the Lennar builder representative of these requests (kitchen cabinets missing shelves, sloppy sheetrock mud and exterior paint already starting to peeling to name a few.) After being assured that these items would be corrected, I proceeded to sign my closing documents. After 7 weeks of moving into my new home, and several phone calls and messages being sent to the builder's office requesting service, I am still waiting for these items to be taken care of. In addition to this, I had the supply line under my sink break loose during the night flooding most of my home. Lennar did respond to this immediately and arranged for the plumbing company and a water removal/ remediation company to come that day. I'm hoping that Lennar will step up and take care of the damages that I incurred quicker than my recent experience with them has been. ... More

every things is no the answer give them deposit check for the house working on the loan told them i will go on vacation for two weeks they sold the house we deposit ;{

House was not done at closing but was forced to close with no recourse. Once closed, was told to call the warranty depth. House was barely clean at closing. I still get emails requesting a signature on a document that I previously had signed 2 times. I've previously purchesed 2 new construction homes and thus was by far the worst. Not happy at all.
