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

Build issues took the joy out of buying a new home

  • Charles F.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 17, 2024
  • Fontana, CA

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 ...

Overall happy - most issues resolved quickly, one remains

  • 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.

Lennar responded:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you fell short of your expectations in many areas.
If you have any questions or any outstanding warranty issues, please submit a warranty request online through your Lennar Account. This ensures a documented and prioritized resolution.
We're committed to improving your experience and would love the opportunity to earn back your trust.

Regrets purchasing with Lennar

  • Latoya B.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 17, 2024
  • Naples, FL

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.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 16, 2024
  • 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 ...

Lennar responded:
Good afternoon Alistair,

Thank you for sharing the issues you found at your new home. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We understand repairs have been done and we hope that moving forward, we are able to improve your Homeowner's experience.

I first started this journey about two years ago with a sales agent Consultant Diana she was real nice at first, but after I didn’t get, I didn’t receive my earnest money back until I got in contact with a sales consultant named Stephanie it took nine months before I finally got my money back thanks to Stephanie’s efforts. Later, I decided again to purchase a home from Lennar sales consultant by the name of Ray he went above and beyond answered all my questions even gave me information that I didn’t even ask for I’m a real estate agent and I felt most comfortable with him. we finally this ...

another Lennar homeowner

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

  • Milton, FL

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.

Ryan was kind and responsive. We had one minor hiccup where I felt like my closing was unnecessarily pushed but I don’t totally blame him. Mischle in finance was extremely rude and unprofessional. She was very short with me and not helpful whatsoever. We’ve also had a few not great experiences with the warranty department. Some items that were promised were then not followed through with the warranty department. They seem quick to shut down all issues brought to their attention. kept all email records and can provide upon request. On a positive note, Sydney I absolutely loved. She was ...
