Lennar mortgage, the customer care team, the guy doing your walk through and the people who close with you are top notch. Lennar sales rep was completely worthless. Threatened us that we were going to lose our condo multiple times, gave no updates on status of our condo, why there were delays. And would only call with news two weeks after we got news from other people second hand. The only reason we stayed was because it would have cost us money to get out. Only showed up at our residence for literally 2 seconds after our walk through even though they told us they would be there hours before.

Lennar responded:

I’m a new home owner, Lennar gave us the best deal hands down, houses look amazing and comes with appliances that come with a year of warranty. From my experience all the walk through guys from Lennar are professional and care about your home needs.

The purchasing process was not difficult. I would like the company to do more research into the modern market of materials and technologies and apply it. 2024 is just outside the window and some decisions look old.

Disappointed

  • Desiree H.

  • Troutman, NC

We are beyond disappointed after spending half a million dollars on a home where the walls aren’t square, nail pops all over the house, the pendant lights are not center over the bar, and we have nothing but dead grass outside. Awful experience. Wouldn’t do it again, and I wish we backed out of the deal.

Lennar responded:
Good afternoon Desiree,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear you are disappointed with your experience. If there are any outstanding warrantable issues, please submit a warranty request online through your Lennar Account. This ensures your request is documented and prioritized for a quick resolution.

Guide to a smooth purchase, bypass the lottery!

  • Christopher L.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 19, 2024
  • San Diego, CA

The lottery system for initial purchase was intimidating and caused us to hesitate to make an offer to purchase for the first couple of phase releases in the Lilac community at the Junipers. Fortunately for us, the model we were interested in fell out of escrow and was offered for public sale and we were able to make an offer without going though the lottery. Overall we were happy with the closing process and Lennar Title/ Escrow and Lennar’s responsiveness to final inspection issues. The post sale concierge has been responsive to issues raised and promptly arraigned for correction of ...

Good value, poor craftsmanship

We are overall pleased with our purchase as we got a great neighborhood and a good house. We also knew what we were getting moving in. If you go in understanding that there's plenty of poor quality items, you'll be much happier. The paint is atrocious. I think they must skip primer and only use one coat, that's for inside and outside. And the drywall is horrible. It's so soft if you push your nail into it, it'll leave a mark. We plan on repainting in the next year and expect that will help They mostly make the process easy and it was pretty fast. The employees are all very nice. We live ...

The sales team at Lennar was very helpful. Once I made my choice of home, they were available to walk the property with me and answer any questions I may have had. Since moving in, there have been several warranty issues that needed to be addressed. I give the warranty team and A+ in their communication, the courtesy of the workmen, and their speed and workmanship. Overall, I am very pleased with my Lennar home and would readily recommend them to friends and family.I

We had a leak in the downstairs bathroom where a nail was put through a cold water line. Mold was found in the walls from the leak and required holes to be placed in the walls and flooring in the downstairs bathroom, hall closet and entry area near the garage. We had a sewage blockage that was noticed in our walk-through. There was carpet installed on the stairs over broken floorboards. There was vinyl flooring placed over a hole in the sub-flooring in the master bathroom. I had to spend a few hours scrubbing white overspray from our flooring because the Lennar representative wanted to come ...

  • Susan D.

  • Saint Cloud, FL

Overall, we were happy with the new home. We have had a few warranty items come up, but they were resolved quickly. Alexis has been great to work with on all those issues. A common theme we have experienced and heard other neighbors complaining about is how hot these houses are in the summer. Even though the air conditioning system is working as it’s supposed to, and the insulation is to spec, we found several air gaps in the attic (under the insulation). They were causing us to lose a lot of the conditioned air and gain a lot of heat. Making it hard for the system to keep up. Lennar can’t ...

Less than stellar.

We had high hopes for building with Lennar but they failed in many areas. Communication was extremely lacking, workmanship was subpar, and the Title company was less than professional. I had previously heard differently from others, but based upon my experience, I cannot imagine referring friends to Lennar.

Regrets purchasing with Lennar

Home is cheaply built, as you walk the floor non stop creaking. Things that should have been completed as promised before us moving in still was not. Opening in the attic, the house dirty with insects, slide door can't open n sooo much more. I have certainly learned my lesson about Lennar and their construction managers.

Lennar responded:
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear about the items not being completed before your move in.
Moving forward, if you have any questions or outstanding warranty issues, please submit a warranty request online through your Lennar Account. This ensures a documented and prioritized resolution.

Our new Lennar home in Paseo Highlands

  • Herbert t.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 16, 2024
  • Santa Clarita, CA

Our move from the South Bay Area of Los Angeles County was somewhat traumatic because we were leaving a home we had lived in since mid 1977, or almost 47 years. Obviously we had accumulated and saved decades of personal belongings. That alone contributed to much of our discomfort. The Lennar team responded to our move experience and tribulations with care and understanding, but sometimes coping with requirements for passwords and access to many security-related document requirements created further complications and frustrations. We are in our mid 80’s and unaccustomed to much of the ...

Was not the best experience with the mortgage, multiple issues and this isn't my first home. It's my 7th. WAY to many people to deal with and communication was a challenge at best. Quality is ok, but the crew that does the finish work not so great. Have found multiple finishes that are mediocre. They seem to be more concerned about getting them to completion rather than Quality.

Horrible buying experience

  • Alistair D.

  • Pooler, GA

The Lennar representative lied to us about the amenities being included in the HOA price in SQ. After trying to use the pool, we found out that it was not included and required membership to the country club. This would have been nice to know at the beginning of the home buying process, as the amenities were one reason for buying in the SQ community. Repairs were still being done one hour before closing because they weren't completed when they were supposed to be. The home walkthrough was done one week prior. After closing, we picked up our keys and went to the house. The keys didn't ...

it is just another builder who doesn't care about customer, you ask for something after giving them money and they make you slave. They don't have any good communication process or steps, there is a big time disconnect between sales, construction manager, underwriter, loan officers, they don't talk to each other at all, so frustrating process.

Company reps had no concern about customers, only keeping on schedule and selling a house. Build quality was not very good. Final cleaning was non existent. Company did not respond to issues we brought up on our final walkthru, only their own. Would never recommend them to anyone else

Nice house - dealing with post issues response is poor

In general, the house is well-constructed. Ant issues initially, but I believe I've taken care of the problem. The house has no gutters - so that's an add-on charge and ditto for a yard fence. There was a construction issue where someone cut through the condenser line in the outside wall. Created mold and am waiting for a repair. Have a nice little extra light from the outside, however. Warranty guy was quick to show up to review, slow to fix and going on a couple weeks now.
