Lennar Reviews

the quality of work was very bad what you see on the model home was not what you get without saying one word about it, i do not recommend this builder to anyone

I thought people were unfriendly and at times dishonest. They submitted a form with a forged signature to the title company. The buying process was very rigid and not flexible. You are better off buying from a private property then dealing with lennar

Of course you don’t want last names.. everyone would give the same negative review for the same pitiful construction manager Aaron. There’s not point going on about my experience with Lennar, no one above cares to fix their problems. I just hope EVERYONE I share my experience with turns away from Lennar and saves themselves the headaches! Listen to your friends when they tell you stay away from a Lennar home!!!

Initially I was very excited to build my new home with Lennar. That changed rather quickly. My closing was delayed over 6 months. When issues were discovered during the final walk through I was threatened with a daily fine if I did not close. There are items on the punch list that have still not been addressed almost 2 months after closing. I have contacted multiple people by phone and email and there is still no timeline on when the issues will be resolved. Overall I am very disappointed with the process and I will never recommend anyone buy a Lennar home.

Multiple Service Request. Electrical, Irrigation Leak, Plumbing Leak that flooded the complete home. Newest Service Requests are Roofing Caps browned off and Mortar joint missing the Mortar. Only been here six weeks and have been living thru warranty repairs the whole time. Finish paint and caulk is very bad. Three different doors that need adjusting or weather stripping.

Purchased two townhomes in Lakewood Ranch. (Lorraine Lakes) Sales Rep for Lennar was completely unprofessional in his approach. Craftsmanship and customer services has gone by the wayside. Their a production builder and apparently hire anybody.

Overall, not what I expected. Sadly, Lennar was once a decent home builder, not any longer. Lennar are now all about the bottom line and keeping shareholders happy - a production builder! I owned a Lennar home in Wellington, Florida and Colorado. Both were decent homes. This home has been pulled apart within the first month of closing. The drywall removed to correct simple issues. Ones that the superintendent should have addressed during construction. I love the layout of the home but the level of workmanship leaves much to be desired. After one month of living in the home and trying to unpack, whilst dealing with drywall dust, I gave up for a few days. Drywaller’s, trim carpenter, painter all coming and going. Still a long list of ‘warranty’ issues EXCEPT these are not warranty issues. These are problems from before closing. I found a 4 page QA sheet that specified due to be rectified by 19 April! Did not happen. So now, I have to deal with a long list of items that the superintendent did not address before closing. The yard is being torn out today! The sod was installed and not watered sufficiently and I was told to give it time! When you have a couple of watermelon plants in your yard and one has a watermelon growing, you know there is an issue! The sod was installed on 17 April and looked good. Downhill from there. The sod company are professional but like homeowners have to deal with, they have to stay within the Lennar ‘boundaries’! The closing was planned for 26 April, then pushed back and then brought forward again. I lived in Colorado and had all of my belongings on a moving truck in storage. I had to keep changing the date with the company. I moved to Florida and closed on 5 May (whilst I had paid for 4 hotel stays beforehand) and then had to rent an Airbnb for 10 days as Lennar had messed me around so much. The truck was scheduled to arrive 20th May and I ended up moving into home on 15th May and sleeping on a mattress with camping chairs. I asked if Lennar could, at least, comp me for a couple hotel nights - crickets! Push, push, push to close and at one point I was ready to walk away from the $59k deposit! I was beyond frustrated. What should have been a new start in my life, has turned out to be a nightmare situation. Lennar do not work uniformly with all of the trades and the homeowner suffers. Customer service should be pivotal in this experience and sadly it is not! A homeowner should not feel like they are ‘one’ against ‘all’, yet that is my experience. I have been GC on two home remodels - one was a 7,700 sq ft home that took 11 months. I know true workmanship. I am experienced and know what is acceptable and what is not. What happened to you Lennar? What did you decide that quantity overcame quality? I would not buy a Lennar home again and wish I had bought an existing home and not a new build. ... More

During our closing day we walked in on painters touching up spots. The new home experience was completely taken away from us and nothing was done to make it more memorable. Most recently, as we started planing our basement work to finish our basement we realized that the water heater was placed just in a random spot that takes away square footage from the future bedroom. The reps told me because the house came with an unfinished basement the water heater can get placed wherever . It would be nice to have the water heater moved or be compensated for losing square footage.

Complete nightmare. From finance to HOA to builder response. We will tell all to never buy lennar

The whole buying experience was horrible. Once I moved in I found so many issues with the house. The AC drain line was not connected so there was water damaged and the dryer vent pipe was not put it. They had to cut the walls and fix the water damage and it took a month to fix.

My kitchen cabinets are still not finished and I have 13 cracked travertine pool times that are cracked, also on driveway paver is cracked. I should not have closed when I did. I trusted and never again

Be careful and double check everything

Very poor workmanship. Things are broken, and the builder is reluctant to fix them

My home buying experience was loaded with delays and disappointments. The quality of these houses is also not very good. I would look at moving somewhere else if I had to do it over again.

No quality on materials, no good finishing, no response on issues after closing.

Probably the worst craftsmanship I have ever seen. When you complain about it they basically tell you to close or they will fine you. It has been almost 2 months they still haven’t fixed drywall, paint, tiles, cabinets. James, Kyle, Stephanie all bad. They want the sale and that’s it. Kyle has to be the worst. Took go through the house and see the terrible job and put a stamp of approval is terrible what they do to the consumer. But as the manager Stephanie (I think her name was) it’s all about closing on homes for the investors. They’re mentality is don’t worry about the product being put out just close as fast as possible. Go with a different builder ... More

The experience was not really good did not keep us updated with the home, and closing was a mess.

Lennar is extremely unresponsive and quaility of work is poor. I would never buy from Lennar again. I just did a walk-through with BTI Parnters at Marina Pointe. Their attention to detail was night and day comparted to Lennar.

Overall very bad experience!!! I never ever recommend to anyone to buy Lennar Home and whole team is sucks! They play lot of Gimmick to buyer. Worse Sales Team , always delay in response and then same word every time " sorry" , I forgot! Mortage Team is same and be like , I don't care. If you have q's!

Agreed to buy home at $30k at 3.99%. The morning of closing they changed rate to 4.79%. Have made 7 warranty claims in 3 months. No windows in back of home that open. Cracks in the ceiling. The underwriting process was awful.

I FULLY REGRET MY PURCHASE. Overall the look is great, but when you look closely at the workmanship it is very shoddy. Shower stalls with tops not finished or caulked, major skips of caulking in showers, uneven & very noisy floors, steps that are slopped from boards with major cracks (which were attempted to be covered with caulking), boards cut too short and filled in spaces with caulking, first floor is VERY COLD, temperatures as low as 46 degrees, chips in all shower stall floor pans and in tub, cabinets not adjusted correctly and hit into walls & appliances, damaged appliances, kick-boards under all cabinets not finished, ends of 1/4 trim boards not painted, coat closet depth too small and hangers can't be hung, thus worthless as a coat closet, damaged door to HVAC room, no thresholds in bathrooms so you can not put a rug on the floors, advertised as "luxury homes" but NO TOWEL RACKS in full bathrooms, kitchen sink with dents, kitchen cabinet with 7" split in wood, seals around exterior doors so bad that the wind coming in will blow out matches, paint & caulking drips on shower tiles, water temperature cold requiring adjustment, and many more issues. After 4 months only a couple of issues resolved and not getting responses from Lennar representatives. I would not recommend buying a Lennar home. My last two new homes were built by Ryan Homes, I had only a couple of issues and they were fixed timely. I'm just astounded at the shoddy work by Lennar and per my neighbors they have the same issues. ... More

Let me just say the only person that helped in this whole transaction was Celia. The worst experience was Lennar Mortgage (Christina Z), will NEVER recommend this lender and especially Christina! Dave the "walk through" guy was horrible!!! We never got a proper walk, unless you call a 6 minute walk proper? We were left figuring out how to work everything and search for instructions, still don't have the a/c warranty after asking more than three times... Still going through problems from lies told by Lennar. NEVER WILL RECOMMEND THIS BUILDER/LENDER!!!!!!!

The cabinet is very low quality compare to what the rep told me i will received

The closing process was a disaster. The house was not complete by the closing. I moved in 2 months ago and still trying to get things fixed that were noticed at the walk through prior to close. I have been disappointed at every step of this process.

Home was not ready for closing! Still waiting for items to be addressed 2 month after closing.
