Lennar Reviews

Many issues, not the quality you would expect. They respond to issues, but speed to resolve is slow. They install cheap appliances.

A horrible experience. First, communication with everyone from sales to the mortgage team has to improve. There was no proactive communication from any of the representatives, except, obviously when something was needed from us. They changed our closing day three times, each of those times without advance notification. So you can imagine how fun it was to reschedule the movers etc. During our final walk, the Lennar rep. informed us that they couldn’t install the FLO by Moen due to an inventory shortage; hard to believe since all the houses in our street have it… Also, during the final walk, I asked the rep to include the driveway on the report, which he did but clearly said that they would not do anything to make the driveway looks better. He was right, it was not fixed, they did put a resurfacer, but it did not help at all. We decided not to push the issue since we needed a place to live and did not want to delay the closing any further. When we finally moved in, the title company sent the insurance check to a different insurance agency, long story short; we had to pay out of pocket to prevent being uninsured while they fixed their mistake. In summary, horrible customer service, I don’t recommend Lennar to anyone. ... More

Horrible workmanship and communication.

Bought the home and the move it was rushed. During the inspection the builder hid flaws on the counter top by taping the inspection notice over the defect during the walk thru. Once we closed the build has forced us to go thru the customer care site to fix problems and it has been a nightmare. Customer care rep is unresponsive, has not fixed any of our several issues and when I complained the customer care rep called me and berated me for complaining. 2 months in and I really regret using Lennar. Very disgusted with this builder and will never use or recommend to anyone.

Lennar provided the day for closing and there were a lot of items that were not completed/resolved prior to moving even though it was promised thet would be completed before closing. It’s difficult to get any responses from them to resolve outstanding issues and when they provide a date they don’t stick to it.

I have bought at least 3 new homes in Florida over the last 30 years and I can say this is the worst experience I have ever had. The house was not ready in any fashion before we took it over. They told us 1 day before closing that they could not close. We had to find another solution for a temporary home for another 3 weeks at the last minute without any explanation from Lennar. They promised to refund us for some of our extra costs but as yet it has not been given back. The workmanship is shoddy all round and since closing over 2 months ago we still have sticky blue markers all over the walls and cabinets that need attention. The floors weren't even cleaned from tradesmen's dirt on move in day - and they were still laying carpets and putting up blinds. ... More

Bathroom shower tile horribly done. Every door way is not square. Carpet was installed with gaps in the carpet pad. Drywall finish poorly done in various areas. Paint overspray on cabinets. Damaged cabinets installed. Trim work done incorrectly. Exterior was left with siding shims in place. Areas left painted.

The agent on site nice, but, she is supposed to be. That is the best and only best thing which can be said for the whole experience with Lennar. As far as the mortgage experience is concerned, if it were not for the incentives used I would not have used them. As to the subcontractors used, if they worked for me they would have to get better real quick or find another line of work. Subcontractors work rating is fair too poor and that can be appealed from floor, to ceiling, to outside.

This company is focused on just pushing numbers out the door rather than customer satisfaction. The overall experience has been very disappointing as I'm still waiting for my home to be completed as we approach 2 months after the date of closing. I was offered an incentive to close on the original closing date (didn't really have a choice) and told the house would be ready within 30 days. We are nowhere close to being ready and the unresponsiveness from low level staff that are responsible for just booking walk throughs, to the sales teams, and even high level executives has been telling (I got desperate and attempted to reach out to regional presidents to try and escalate things without any luck). I would 100% never recommend purchasing from this builder and really feel as though I made a mistake myself in doing so. FYI the home I purchases was in Orlando. ... More

the construction of my home took over 34 months and was plagued with the worst management I have ever seen in a home builder. It has been and still is the worst home buying experience of my life. In the end we never moved into this house because the delay took so long. We have the home listed for sale and again the delay in construction has cost us 100s of 1000s of dollars.

This is the fifth house my wife and I have purchased, third new build. By far, worst quality build. We have been in the home for almost two months and original punch list items still haven’t been corrected. There have been multiple laborers come through to correct the same issues repeatedly. No pride in their work. To date, still not fixed. From start to finish, this has been a horrible experience. I wholeheartedly regret making this purchase. Would not recommend Lennar to friends or family.

Do not close on your property until you are happy with the job, the punchlist does not necessarily matter after you close. We are presently 7 weeks after closing and still do not have a functional pool. Lennar was in a rush to close for their fiscal monthly/quarterly numbers. New home consultant disappeared after closing with no replacement figure given. No messages answered or returned after closing, although project manager Trevor has been very helpful. Some of the problems on the punchlist that were supposed to be taken care of before closing are slowly being addressed, but I had to present them via the customer service portal. Also, date and time of the walkthrough prior to closing was scheduled by Lennar and when I requested a different date was refused. After I purchased an airline ticket and flew to Florida for the walkthrough, the NHC called and asked me to postpone as the house was not ready to be seen. This is not all and needless to say, it was not a good experience. ... More

Build quality is too poor.Flooring is pathetic,Vinyl planks are coming out already just in one month.

My home-buying experience was not pleasant at all. Renee R who was in charge of closing was unprofessional and unresponsive. It was to the point where she was arguing with me in front of one of the other managers when I made the complaint. I am still missing pieces from the fixtures in my home and they did a poor job cleaning it. I did not enjoy my home-buying experience. It's a shame because I've sent fellow agents with their clients to Lennar which I thought so highly of. I have been in my home for less than 2 months and the dryer never worked. I had to call the manufacturer and they determine the motor was bad. I will never get that moment back. ... More

Workmanship could be so much better. I’ve been going through warranty for so many things when it should of been done correctly the first time.

There are lot of problems with the finishing like painting and caulking. Especially the finishing is very bad and rushed for closing.

I have to say, buying our new Lennar home has been one of the most stressful experiences of my life. From our walkthrough (with no lights or AC), to closing day where these issues were still not resolved, to issues that are still not resolved in our home almost 2 months after closing. You have to jump through hoops to get things fixed, even when they been notated multiple times. The materials in the home are cheap- pressed wood cabinets and laminate counters in the bathrooms. It’s very clear that once the sale was made, we were no longer a priority. The workmanship inside the home is shoddy. It’s apparent that these homes are just thrown together, and as close tighter, in order to make quick money. We will never purchase another Lennar home. I cannot imagine that this company has consistent repeat business based on the way they treat their customers. ... More

I am a new home owner in Autumn Vista community. Closed home in July 2022. First construction was delayed by 1 month. Next, home orientation date wasn’t flexible at all. We had to take online orientation where we missed several things to inspect like there was a chip in the flooring, the main door won’t lock without a struggle. Lennar just fixed the flooring and no date on when they will fix the main door. The promised AC unit wasn’t provided still as I write this review. What sucks is that the homes that closed a month later are getting the AC units now. When I call, their response is very vague. Worst experience. ... More

The Lennar sales team was terrible throughout the entire buying process. Our home closed 5 months after initial projection. This, while frustrating, is understandable given the issues businesses are facing right now. What isn't understandable is the complete dearth of information and even general communication from beginning to end. No explanations were given besides "supply chain issues" and that was when we could get an answer at all. In the end, Lennar's sales team, including management, tried to force is to close on an incomplete home (garage door not working, cabinetry incomplete, water heater not working, etc.) under threat of default on our contract and loss of our earnest money if we didn't. This was the worst home buying experience I could have imagined. Lennar ought to be ashamed of themselves. ... More

Worse experience in my life. Lennar has different departments and they don’t communicate with each other. Zach the sales spokesperson for the area was useless, couldn’t be found no text, or call. I seen him only one time out of 5 months. He was always off or on vacation. No help. The builder hired bad contractors to do the plumbing and had multiple leaks that needed to be correct before closing. The cleaning people flooded my house because the builders didn’t tell them they haven’t completed a flow test yet. Abraham my loan officer was unaware of certain charges to his own closing disclosure and couldn’t explain them to me. Even now after a month of being in the house Lennar Title called me and said they forgot to have me sign a document a whole month later. A week before closing the new plumbers found a bulging pipe underneath my house had to rip up the foundation in my kitchen to fix. My closing date moved 5 times from the original June 21 to Aug. 11. I say this emphatically do not, do not chose them as a builder. Only saving grace was Matt after I couldn’t contact with Zach, Matt was there to help me and my family go through the process and keep me updated. To say all of that I wouldn’t have pick them. Good luck. ... More

Bad and costly because of fees at closing

Once you've moved in, Lennar doesn't really care about addressing issues: 1.We have no internet service with no ETA provided despite our neighbors having service (we moved in 2 months ago). 2. I've been asked to check the box and mark requested warranty work as complete before it was finished, and it then gets ignored by the warranty team. 3. House was dirty in many areas upon move-in, and that was even with a further move-in thanks to Lennar messing up the closing date. This has been the worst decision of my life. Be careful.

From the misinformation given to us about our purchase, by the sales associate, to the ridiculous lies told to us by the mortgage people and the astonishing lack of quality workmanship that is out into these homes I wouldn’t recommend my enemy to buy a LENNAR home! There were so many things wrong I can’t list them all! LENNAR and all who are affiliated with this company should be ashamed of themselves!

Lennar does not seem to stand behind their product, and has substandard work, that is only made worse by the lack of customer service to address issues with their new home construction.

I do understand that Lennar is an extremely large builder that relies on volume not on quality. I think what disappointed me the most was the lack of interest to pay attention to detail, inspect their own work and the lack of interest to make things right. For those reasons plus more I can not recommend Lennar to anyone
