Lennar Reviews

From the start of our home-buying experience to the end, we have had issue after issue - from trying to work with Lennar mortgage to the sales office, we have had to continually push *upper management* for a response. Although our home was move-in ready when we started the process, our closing date was delayed three times without so much as an apology - there has been absolutely no transparency through the process. Lennar emailed us early on saying to ensure we reply quickly to emails or requests, however, Lennar is excruciatingly slow in getting anything done. If you’re willing to be patient more than anyone should have to be, I guess our Lennar home worked out in the end, but I would go with ANY other builder in the future. Our realtor says she will never recommend buying through Lennar after this experience. ... More

The delivery of the home was before time. The entire purchasing process was seamless.

Excellent people, very good work, guys. Thank you very much for all the support and help and if I were to get another home I would not hesitate to come back again...

The house is NOT well built at all But the staff are very nice. The Mortgage experience was TERRIBLE but it is over now

Disappointed with the entire process.

Everything is working great now. Warranty Team is great. Feels like home, Thank you.

I used to think Lennar was the best builder ever! Why? Because they used to install ceiling speakers, cat5 jacks in every room, and not only they Not have that, they have no phone jacks, they decided not to run conduit from the garage to smart box, which the modem is in the garage, and if you want home phone, you need to put it in the garage. They got so cheap they decided to not install the flex conduit and they install the latch on the gate not only upside down but they put it on the outside instead of inside like it’s supposed to, and their excuse? “Oh well, that’s just what was in the plans!” That deserves a 1 star, but I didn’t cuz I still love my home. ...

I recently learned that Lennar used inferior shingles for the roofing. The sales person was pleasant, helpful and responsive though

In February, we purchased a new home from Lennar in the gated community of Lorraine Lakes in Lakewood Ranch, FL. The home was already under construction so we were able to see the lot and the progress made to date. We chose the Richmond plan (2,724 sq ft) as it is has a great layout with 4 bedrooms plus den. We elected to add a pool with an extended deck. We closed on the home in July. It was a very simple buying experience, with all documents being signed electronically. Even closing was done remotely by signing documents electronically. Our new home is beautiful. There was a short punch list of post closing deficiencies. We posted our list to the My Lennar portal. Within just a couple days, contractors made appointments to come and correct the deficiencies. All were minor items. We were very impressed with the speed and responsiveness of the Lennar after sale service team and their contractors. We have eaten at the Town Center dining room five times since closing. The menu and service are excellent. It is a great place to go when we just want to have a bite to eat for dinner without cooking. And while we have a pool in our own backyard, we went to the Town Center pool one sunny Saturday afternoon to enjoy the more lively pool experience with all of our neighbors. ... More

I know that the cost of homes is high these days (materials, labor, etc) but they should really hire more supervision as the trades are allowed to cut corners. And Lennar doesn’t even include medicine cabinets anymore. Linoleum, sandpaper carpet, and flat white paint are standard on an $880k home…very sad! We did NOT realize the cost to upgrade until after putting money down and we decided to move forward b/c we love the lot, location, and floor plan. I also do NOT recommend using Lennar mortgage…any incentives go to overpriced closing costs and options and they make you jump through a million hoops with documentation …SO stressful! ... More

So far we’ve dealt with a couple of major leaks with pressure valves and landscaping drip lines. Good thing the warranty/maintenance team are very responsive and took care of the issues. The circuit 50 amp breaker for the EV plug is very sensitive and needs to be upgraded. The dishwasher is very basic and low quality. The bathroom tiles should be higher and all the way to the shower head. No towel bars were a surprise.

It was a quick buying experience. Made me feel comfortable while buying the home. I was able to choose which home to buy. Unlike other locations which try to force you which house to buy.

The Lennar experience has been wonderful and I would recommend a Lennar home to anyone. This is the first time I have purchased a new home and I am thrilled!!!!! However, at my age, I struggled with the on-line paperwork. I graduated college before PCs and I am self taught. IT does NOT come naturally so I really appreciated the managers patience with me. Everything has gone well except the front yard drip system. It has been repaired three times. Hopefully it is good going forward. My one BIG recommendation to Lennar is to be much more mindful about wasting landscaping water. When I moved in, my drip system ran constantly for days and I am afraid to see my first water bill. The lawn watering system has also had issues with running excessively and sprinklers watering the street. I hate seeing water/money running down the street and it took weeks to get the issue addressed. Question: why did Lennar put my one outdoor water spout in the front yard and NOT IN THE BACK YARD where I need to water??? I horrible design flaw! ... More

I've had to call a repair person out 3x. Where both toilets were not tightened. The dryer wasn't connected. Still haven't filled in the holes in the cement for the driveway.

I had some issues with having minor issues resolved during the walk through. Places where I put tape were removed and not repaired. Complained on numerous occasions only to get push back each time.

The responsiveness of repairing the front porch cement patio is still pending. It is the first thing people see when visiting. The pointing fingers and blaming us for not putting this on the initial list of things to repair is outrageous.

The buying experience wasn’t bad - the aftermath of issues and builders not responding. The lack of communication and overall experience not recommended.

Generally a good job but some detail are overlooked. There are few or inconvenient towel rods in the bathrooms, plants and trees are few, not able to make any choices, but Lennar does build a very nice, if very cookie cutter, neighborhood

Appliances are bottom line quality. Too many web sites. Should be one portl with one usr Id and password. Too many regulations. Why do I have to pay an application fee after a project is approved. Not very responsive to some issues. Construction manager and staff make promises and take too long, if at all, to respond.

Foremost it is a lovely home, however, there is way too much paper work that creates a lot of confusion. Constantly going back and forth no one can retain all of the information. Moving in I did not have time to seal the granite so just spilling water on the counter makes it darker in spots. It should have been sealed before we moved in.

It is an excellent community

It's a decent home.

Quality of workmanship and materials Lennar Trustworthiness Value for the price paid Post sale timely responsiveness to issues.

Not caring, no following up.

I am a first time homebuyer, and I was very pleased with Lennar as my builder and lender. They were communicative and timely, and kept me abreast every step of the way. We love our new home!
