Lennar Reviews

First and foremost, the majority of the individuals we dealt with at Lennar were a pleasure to work with. Lennar has their hand in every aspect of the process sales, construction, mortgage, title, insurance, etc. They tell you that having everything in-house makes for a seamless experience. And you would expect that to be the case. It very much isn’t. The left hand has absolutely no idea what the right hand is doing. In some instances, the left hand didn’t seem to know that the right hand existed. They assign you a “concierge” to be your bridge between all the different moving parts. In reality, they reach out to you every month or so with an update you got two weeks prior from a different entity. No benefit whatsoever. This was our third new build and by far our most expensive, but also by far the most frustrating experience. As for construction, the quality is not good. The entire house is one big patch job. So many mistakes were caught and had to be redone. I understand that nothing will be perfect, but there were quite a few things that had to be re-done. I would hope that any builder would put forth their best effort, regardless of price point as every homebuyer deserves quality. But the quality we got at the 7 figure price point was extremely disappointing. My suggestion to Lennar, creat a sub-brand for homes at this price point and spend a little more on quality trades. Lennar simplifies the purchase process by offering extremely limited options. Carpet and tile have many options, but cabinets and countertops don’t. Forget about getting ANY electrical upgrade options. And the choices they make are questionable. I have 4 switches for the same light. Each switch is within 10 feet of the other. But then I have a room where the only switch is outside in the hall. What? All the rooms get ceiling fan pre-wires, but only one switch so you can’t control the fan and light independently without a remote. Switched outlets in the room? Nope. They cut corners in the most obvious places. The warranty experience is hit or miss. They do schedule repairs fairly quickly, but almost every repair has come with new damage. The paint people spilled a large amount of paint on my tile and covered it with a potted plant. I’m talking like 1/3 quart of paint. The contractors don’t try to resolve the underlying issues. They just do enough to mask the issue. So all in all, we LOVE the design and layout of our home, but you do not get any semblance of value for the prices they are charging. ... More

I loved working with the entire team! Matt my loan officer was the greatest! He worked with me through each process! I’m a first time home buyer and I’m very happy with the process

I’m a first-time homeowner. What should have been the best day of my life was anything but! Lennar won’t work with its customers to accommodate their work schedules. I not only MISSED my closing but I also received NO home orientation and as a result know absolutely nothing about my house. If I could do it all over again I would never have bought a home from Lennar.

Everything was through online. Amazing

I have bought houses before and these has been the most professional, easy-going, and fast close out that I have ever experienced. I closed my house in 30 days. Excellent service all around.

My experience has been very bad, the customer service people are not responsible, the do not care about the client, they never fixed anything or to complement the commitments to fix the property, they make appointments and do not go they do not respect the client's lost time, they do not solve problems it really was one of my worst experiences buying this property, I would never recommend them.

The experience overall was relatively painless. Representatives i spoke to were professional, receptive to concerns, and communicated information to me clearly. Only issue that came up was the report made by the private inspection I had done not being passed onto the construction lead on the home, as their were major issues with the roof that weren't addressed until I personally brought the issue up before the final walk. If I hadn't, it likely would have been missed and lead to disastrous water damage to the home. Aside from that; the construction of the home is fine. I have not detected any major issues 3~ months into my occupation of the home. I have notice several cosmetic issues, such as paint on caulked surfaces peeling off and cracking, and expected nail pops appearing over time. The only other issue that comes to mind is in regards to the ventilation of the second floor. Even with dampers and registers fully open, air flow in the upstairs of the home is very low. It's been mitigated for the most part by the addition of an AC to my HVAC; but the airflow still feels generally stagnant and I sometimes experience mild discomfort heading to a bedroom that is considerably warmer than the downstairs. Overall, I love the home. I'm proud of the decision to purchase it, and I enjoy the location. As long as Lennar works with me if and when issues come up within coverage of the warranty, then I'll have nothing to complain about. ... More

The process was very stressful. No one would answer even when deadlines were coming up. It was constant pressure to sign contracts. Felt forceful. We almost didn’t go through with purchase. The house is nice but cheaply made with lots of issues. Overall a 3/5 recommendation. Still working out issues after 2 months. Overall I am happy to be in a house but the process was a 0-1 star to obtain this house.

Since moving in, we have discovered a lot of subpar Building practices, craftsmanship, and quality of materials. Although addressed with the local customer care team, our backyard is a swamp. Cabinetry finishes failing from a poor cover-up of damage Prior to delivering the home. The subgrade siding material is flaking off on its edges. Our floor is sinking around the entry to the garage. Just to highlight a few of our issues. Starting to feel a little bit like we were scammed a bit.

We had a house already with Lennar that was great quality and a great buying experience. We chose to upgrade and it has led to a great deal of disappointment although the house is exactly what we want. The amount of sloppy work that was done is highly disappointing. What was even more disappointing was being charged $16,000 for delaying a closing when the house was done earlier than anticipated and yet almost nothing on our punchlist was completed. We are now we are having to open warranty tickets for punch list items, have our workdays disrupted when all of this could’ve been done off our punchlist prior to closing on the house. The house sat empty for 3 months and punchlist items were barely touched. It seems strange to me that the house was done 2 1/2 months early, we paid an inspector to come walk through with us, we provided a punchlist of items to be fixed and yet we were pushed to close, charged when we didn’t and nothing was done. My workday is now continually disrupted, and I’m having to restart efforts that require my attention at work because of the disruption. ... More

I was looking to purchase a home early this year. I went to another Lennar community where an agent named Blanca helped me. After deciding that community was not a fit for me, I decided to look at other properties. After letting her know my budget and also timeframe, she kept pushing for an earlier date, to which I didn’t feel comfortable. I decided she was not a fit, because I wanted someone who understood my timeframe and knew I wasn’t interested in spending thousands of dollars more since I was still leasing an apartment. After finding Falcon, I went for a house there. The process was smooth, until the walks and inspections took place. Lots of items needed to be fixed and also there were items that seemed rushed and quickly done, just to get it out of the way and fulfill the closing time. In addition to that, 6 days prior to closing, the Lennar office removed incentives from the sale and increased my closing over 5k more. Unbelievable! They even told me I could stop down from the sale when I said that was not right. After going back and forth during several days, they were able to correct some of the incentives. That was such a nerve-wracking week filled with tons of emotions. It was extremely stressful to say the least! Then, at the last minute, they said that blinds didn’t come with the house, even when I had in writing by 2 people from the company, that blinds came with the home. They told me no. That’s a very deceptive practice. The last thing that happened, on the day of closing, I went to pick up the keys of my new home and the person who was in the office, was the manager Blanca, who in a very condescending and harassing manner asked me why I didn’t put her as my agent, if she was helping me at the beginning. I felt very threatened by the fact she was telling me this as I was picking up my keys. Instead of congratulating me on my home, she was complaining to me that she didn’t pretty much have my sale. That was crazy! What an experience! I hope Lennar gets it together! ... More

I’d to thank sales consultants Jeff Symon’s and Jaqueline Stairs for helping us land our home in the West Shore of the Rockpirt Ranch community. MLO Renee Darling and processor Lena DuFour did an excellent job keeping me informed and bringing this loan/home purchase to the finish line. I’d also like to give a huge round of applause to customer care representative Arthur Castrejon. He did a spectacular job on the walkthrough and spotted and tagged things that needed fixing before we did and has been available to me after closing when I’ve had questions on things around the home. My family and I appreciate you all, keep up the great work! ... More

Súper bien la compra de mi primera casa . la recomiendo esta constructora le doy 5 estrellas. por la rápido que se realizó este proceso todos los que hicieron posible este paso tan importante. muy bueno . realmente si se puede. gracias

We recently purchased a unit at Eagle Ridge. While the process of purchasing the unit was fine, the experience after escrow closed was very frustrating. While our customer service rep, Jessica, deserves at least 5 stars for all she did to take care of the items that weren't completed by the close of escrow, the trades were less than responsive and often didn't complete their work properly. I believe there is a serious communication problem between the trades and Lennar. Now that we are more than 2 months post-closing, I believe that work is almost finished. Hopefully, they have done quality work. Time will tell. ... More

Our salesman, Norman, kept trying to sell us something we did not want and, although, we were #1 on a house, we walked in on a conversation with another prospective where he was about to sell them the house we had been promised. We were just waiting for the house to be released to put our money down. We have had trouble getting warranty work completed. We had a private inspection done and some of those issues, which were supposed to be addressed before we moved in still have not been completed. One guy forgot the paint he needed, said he would close the ticket and reopen it when he got back so he it would look like the work had been completed. Work still has not been completed. The list goes on. ... More

Amazing experience as a first-time homebuyer! Every representative we worked with was incredibly responsive and thorough in answering all our questions. I highly recommend using Lennar. Thank you to everyone for helping my fiancé and me find a beautiful home.

Didn’t do a good job and had safety issues in the building, in spite of me constantly pursuing they didn’t fix the issue and just ignored it. Very unprofessional behavior from the management in addressing my concerns

Lennar's workmanship is surprisingly sub par. This is truly a production home and that is what you get. There are such minor design features they missed that would move their home from below average to top notch but unfortunately, Lennar's home design team must be novices at best to have missed such minor things in their floor plans, at least in the many plans we reviewed. The community was the selling point for sure - NOT the Lennar home. We wanted to be in the community and had very limited home design choices with Lennar within our budget. If it wasn't for that, we would never have chosen Lennar. I wish I had a home designers ear to give them a few, low cost, home design pointers that I'm certain would definitely increase their home sales by a lot. Additionally, none of the "walk through" items were addressed as was supposed to be the case during that one week before closing. Also, the response time to issues raised . The masterbath tile design was not at all what was indicated it would be and I'm still dealing wit that. Overall, not a good experience at al. MI Homes and Mattamy have MUCH. better workmanship. Unfortunately, they did not build in the community we were looking at. But, highly recommend them over Lennar unless you are looking at their 55+ community homes, which seem to be of better workmanship and quality. I gave it 3 stars in the "value for the price" only because of current price trends and in the location we bought (Mirada). The home we purchased was a good value for the size of the home, comparatively speaking to other homes on the market. ... More

The website has tons of information as your house is getting built. You get to follow along every step of the way. I was able to see my house every week after I closed. And I love how the website gives detailed information about how to take care of your home. Very good experience from a first-time home buyer. My agent was great but I wish you was just a little bit more involved in the closing. I've even known some people to get small gifts from their real estate agents.

It was very difficult working with Michelle to be honest. This is our second home and there is no comparison with how great tri point was with purchasing and any issues we have had. There are some things that we went through with Brian during the walk through who was great, however when michelle handled our second walk through she was very dismissive and inattentive to our concerns. Anyway we addressed was a straight no without looking further to the issues. Our dishwasher was broken inside- the parts are unattached, the whole dishwasher can be removed it was never properly assembled and when we addressed this her response was we have to reach out to GE as it was not brought forward during our walk through- how would we know to run the dishwasher during our walk through Also other concerns and issues we have had it seems like the other representatives like Corina and Brian at least attempted but Michelle was just very frustrating rude and inattentive to deal with which did not make our experience pleasant. ...

Very happy with home. We got what we paid for. Very comfortable no issues at all. Everything works right so far. Move in June 2024 I recommend the value of the home. But service after purchase was not good at all. I had to go to office few time and every time felt like I was just bothering not friendly at all. Overall I love my home neighbors are great so far.

My wife and I could not be more impressed with how the home buying experience we had with Lennar went. Lennar was in constant contact with us whenever an issue popped up. The whole process took a bit over a month from start to finish. The house is amazing. We couldn't be happier especially being the first home buying experience. Thank you Lennar for everything that you do.

Love the model we chose with the floor layout. Kitchen appliances are top of the line . The response from the warranty agent with any of the few issues we have had has been great and very helpful.

I have had a good experience with Lennar representatives. A current problem is being corrected and the communication is in a timely manner. The homebuying process was good.
