Okay experience

  • Krista M.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 06, 2024
  • Riverview, FL

We’ve had an okay experience. A lot of the finishes are cheaper quality with things missing like towel racks, toilet paper holders etc that you don’t realize won’t come with it. The way they dramatically slope the small sides of the home also just make mud pits on both sides of your house and our neighbors are having the same issues. We’re on the edge of the path and Lennar still hasn’t put sod down on the path along our yard so it’s another mud pit now overrun with weeds.

Should have been better

  • Gretchen S.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 06, 2024
  • Calabash, NC

We were not told that the home prices changed after so many other houses sold, so within 24 hours the price of our house increased $3500.00 and we were not aware of it until we signed the agreement. Lennar said, "Sorry, but that's our policy. The salesperson made a mistake." They still charged us the increase. Then we were assigned a HUB Concierge to help guide us through the transition to our new home. She was awful! She never returned one voicemail and always had an excuse for bad customer service. Lennar promotes "everything's included", but it's not. All of the ceiling lights are cheap ...

Terrible, terrible experience all around with this builder. I closed on a property by Lennar. I called the City of Dallas Water Utility service on the next business day and was told a building permit remained opened on the property. I notified the construction manager promptly as well as Lennar Warranty service, only to be told that it will be addressed on that week, then the week after, and every week I got the same story. I had to inform them that I needed to move in and gave them a few weeks to figure it out, but as long as the permit remains open the City wouldn’t allow me to establish ...

Do yourself a favor and purchase elsewhere . . .

  • David R.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • July 05, 2024
  • Punta Gorda, FL

while we like the floorplan, the location of the development, and the view we have from our back lanai, the poor quality of construction, Lennar's slow response to issues and general poor attitude toward customers leaves a great deal to be desired. We cant in good conscious recommend Lennar, and sadly would suggest those looking, look elsewhere

Lennar responded:
Good afternoon David,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry we have fallen short of your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be to see your issues are not being resolved promptly. I will share your comments with upper management for their review.

Though the overall buying experience was ok, there are poor quality workmanship including a big chip of wood lost in the main door near the lock. Shocked how a big builder like Lennar could miss such basic quality checks.

Of the entire process with Lennar, the best part was our Sales Agent. He was friendly, responsible and very responsive. With the construction team, there are a lot of opportunities for improvement, both from the strategic leadership and the ground execution team. From a strategic perspective, don’t nickel and dime on such a huge purchase. Make sure the fixtures are quality fixtures with a long life. The construction leadership team took a very cheap route in deciding materials and focused on tiny margins. Some of the items that make the experience very bad are as ...

Their workmanship is far below industrial average. When you live in the house, you encounter more and more issues which you did not see during initial inspection. Highlighted below are few of them. 1. All the kitchen/bathroom pantry, cupboards and doors are poorly built in and easy to break. 2. Bathroom sliding doors are installed in wrong way 3. All the sinks do not have enough space to hold soap holder and some of them are not big enough to wash hands 4. Toilet paper holder are so small that Toilet paper roll can not fit there 5. Scratched bathtub 6. Upstairs bathrooms have almost no ...

I had a great experience with Lennar. It was a fast close.1 month to the day! I am very happy with the price, quality and Workmanship. Daniel and his team were very responsive and professional . My only issue where I felt stress was in the mortgage process. I was a Realtor in my previous location. I understand that closings are stressful. The issue I had was in the process. I put down a sizable down payment. I have a strong employment and credit history . First I was told I had to pay off my current car loan. Next, a week before closing I was told I had to increase my down payment. The ...

Bill and John in the sales office where absolutely fantastic! 10 out of a 10 would recommend every day of the week! The house I've had issues one after the other starting week 3 of owning it. I've had electrical issues, plumbing, a rood leak, nails popping from the sheet rock, and a crack above a window. These seems like a lot for a BRAND NEW HOUSE. Warranty doesn't communicate very well and I have to reach out to get info. I've only own the house for about 6 weeks and can't fully move in due to all of the issues. Hopefully, I'll get it all fixed and I will get to enjoy my new house.

First time homebuyers experience with Lennar

  • Marqese E.

  • Princeton, TX

Overall, I’d say the experience was well but very overwhelming. A lot of back-and-forth, which is to be expected with a huge decision to purchase a home. With Lennar being a giant production builder it’s understandable that things don’t always go as planned, but their processes are streamline and issues end up getting worked out. So far we’re loving being in our new house and appreciate the opportunity to buy with Lennar. As of 2 months after closing our experiences are nowhere near what a lot of the negative experiences are that are posted online. We have a lot of good things to say, but ...

Overall we love our new home. The only hiccup that we’ve run into is that we have a sprinkler system but yet no one has really taught us how to use it. Like buying any home, dealing with the paperwork was a bit of nuisance. Be prepared to search through everything in order to provide underwriting what they need. To me it was about over the top and at times frustrating. At one point we felt as though our Lennar sales rep was not being very honest with us. We love the home that we’re in but technically it was our second choice. When we approached our sales rep about our first choice, ...
