Lennar Reviews

Everything with the buying was seamless, great experience!

The only good thing about this experience is Josh when i first bought the house. The lending process and about of defects in walkthrough, make me never want to recommend this company

The house buying process was easy, if a pain. They keep bothering me with unnecessary comments.

I recently bought a house from Lennar, and overall, the experience has been a mix of positives and negatives. Here is a detailed review of my homebuying journey: **Overall Homebuying Experience: ★★★☆☆** The house looks good, and I was initially pleased with my purchase. However, during the home orientation, I noticed several color spots around the house that were not properly addressed. This left a less-than-perfect first impression. **Quality of Workmanship & Materials: ★★☆☆☆** Unfortunately, the quality of workmanship and materials left much to be desired. During my move-in, my foot was injured by a protruding nail, which I had to fix myself. Additionally, the panel upstairs has shifted slightly, revealing a small gap that appeared just one month after moving in. This is disappointing and suggests a lack of attention to detail during construction. **Trustworthiness: ★★★★★** Despite the issues, I found the company to be very trustworthy. They were transparent throughout the buying process and made me feel secure in my investment. **Value for the Price Paid: ★★★★☆** I believe the house offers good value for the price paid. Despite the workmanship issues, the overall design and space provided are satisfactory. **Responsiveness to Issues: ★★★★★** One of the standout positives was the responsiveness of Lennar’s team. When I reported a large gap in the garage door that was big enough to fit my hand through, Mr. Sam promptly contacted the company, and they fixed the issue quickly. This level of customer service was much appreciated and gave me confidence in their commitment to resolving problems. **Summary:** While my experience with Lennar has been a mix of good and bad, the company’s responsiveness and trustworthiness have been commendable. There are definite areas for improvement, especially in the quality of workmanship, but overall, I am happy with my new home. ... More

Lennar homes are designed with the area nearby in mind. I am so happy with my new build. My husband and I did a lot of research and had very manageable expectations after reading others reviews of Lennar and their new builds. Yes, there are built fast and not everything is perfect. With that in mind, we are very happy with the home we purchased. Greg at Avertine in Lemoore looked out for us better than I did for myself! He was exceptional in making sure everything was perfect for sign off. With the incentives offered, it is the best option out there for anyone looking to buy in this market.

The team was great since the loan officer, the sales team,construction manager and the concierge staff,they made my process almost stress free

I moved here about a year ago and it took me so long to find the house that was built in such a unique and beautiful way. Trust me I had seen other builds but none of the others had such a great quality and the lennar realtor and the loan processors were very informative every step of the way. I understand that they do not want me to say the people who had helped me… I will continue to send the people who helped me from the lennar my family, friends, colleagues, and clients. Who are looking for a new home.

Entire process was very good. I like the good quality and value of my new home. I have a problem with my dogs digging under the fence and getting out of the yard. Builders were ok with fixing up the house before we moved in. Closing was delayed several times before we finally got to move in.

We had a great experience with the builder, From watching our home be built to our walkthrough, Thanks Dan'te, and moving into our new home.

Affordable house. I understand I was getting a house cheaper than the rest of the market average and that's what I feel like I got. Not a fan of the process you walk the house prior to your closing date and get told no need to point out every defficiency they'll all get addressed. Then you walk it right before closing and get told "if we didn't point it out last time we can't address it now". When you get told that feels very scummy. Had a plumbing leak week of move in. Items were not addressed prior to closing but that's on me for agreeing to sign. Main construction lead not a pleasant guy to deal with. Warranty lead is nice enough but communication is terrible. Office people told me wrong closing date and never apologized or mentioned it. You take off work days ahead of time for the date to be wrong and only find out when talking to the mortgage side of things. Frustrating. Overall affordable house and I got what I paid for so I'm grateful. Am I making sure my home insurance is at max coverage and lowest deductible you bet. Thank you lennar. ... More

We’ve had several issues starting at the signing of the contract to present day. It’s not an experience to at I would want to relive. At this point would be hard to recommend to others. Sorry!

My whole process was very fast. Within the short period however, the loan process was very frustrating. The loan officer was difficult to reach at times plus some of the people who were working my loan lived in another time zone, making it even harder to communicate/connect with. The person who initiated the homebuying process basically disappeared after I put my down payment down. As a first time homeowner, I feel like the experience could’ve been way better.The house overall was nice until I moved in and experienced 2 roof leaks from the sealant being broken. Though it was quickly fixed, I believe as a new house there shouldn’t be a problem with the roof but then again they build the houses very quickly! ... More

The baseboards are all cardboard. They never finished our yard. The roads are always clogged with construction workers all over the place. They wake you up banging at 6 am. The closets all needed to be braces downstairs. The construction vehicles have created cracks in our driveway. We have found more paint issues. Our first person dealing with Pam was awesome and extremely helpful but from there very lackluster.

I'm still waiting for something to be done about it. Being the last house on the block and near the about to be built community pool it seems like they threw in last minute grass. I'm working on the front lawn, but it's taking a little time. I'm also working on the sides of the house to remove the dirt and stones that 2 young men (didn't understand or speak English, it was hard to communicate with them) tried to fill in the gaps. The dirt and stones came from the grounds where the community pool will be. BTW: I don't blame them they were told what to do. This will take time to do. At 76 it's getting tougher to handle all of it. The full backyard is even worse which will take me mouths to do. I can only work so long before my back starts to bother me. It would be nice for a professional landscaper to come and talk to me and to what can be done. Remember just because they call themselves a landscaper doesn't mean they are professional. We can compromise, redo the backyard and I'll finish the front and sides of the house. If you do this, I want to be present when they lay the sod down. Call me when you can. BTW: All the other problems were done in a fast and professional manner, in which I am grateful. Thanks to TJ and Jesse. Thanks for listening. Tony ... More

Our closing date has been moved and no proper communication and the delay of everything though the documents has been submitted a couple months back before closing date. Travelling all the way from WI to CO for closing in bad weather and information on cancellation due to underwriting delays and the Sales responsibility and each of the persons involved was very concerned. The response of delays and the way staff communicate was not good . It’s kind of staff answering like you take or leave the agreement for the conversations which we have concerns about the insurance. It was overall pathetic experience. ... More

I would like potential home buyers to know that the team at Lennar is awesome to work with. The loan officers are friendly and courteous. The are more than willing to answer any questions you may have as well taking care of all documentation needed to process your loan in a timely manner, They respond to emails and phone calls promptly. The construction manager was also great to work with providing updated information on a regular basis. We were very pleased with the quality of the way our home was built. The closing department was also great. We highly recommend Lennar to anyone considering a new construction built home. ... More

Purchase this model only for because of the layout and having my mom close. Excellent floor plan. Quality of work and materials used could be better. Compromise only for floorplan layout and lot size.

The few problems we have have been addressed and resolved very quickly. We have been very satisfied with our new home and all or the Lennar staff we have asked for assistance and information.

Horrible experience off the bat. Realtor lied about the property line. house wasn’t finished when it was supposed To be on our “final walkthrough”. I felt very rushed and pressured to sign paperwork. I will never buy a lennar home again.

Overall total experience went very well. Quality of home appears to be very good. Any issues that I’ve had has been dealt with promptly and done correctly. Also, sales staff were pleasant to work with and helpful.

Did not care for one of the Lennar Mortgage folks. Rick was very abrupt every time I had to speak with him. Always trying to talk past me and really did not listen to what I had to say. He tried making me get a loan for $10,000 more than what I needed. The only reason I stayed with them was because the rate they offered compared to other lenders.

Major complaint was in the lawn. Sod was placed haphazardly. Very uneven and hazardous to walk on. High spots and low spots can cause ankle twists and tripping.

I had a pleasant experience with my construction manager and my warranty tech that met me on site and explained everything to me. They both wonderful and only because of them, would I rate this super high. The absolute worst part of this experience was my Lennar Sales Rep. Martha didn't really explain anything I had asked her to. She just gave me the basic information and showed me the house. Thankfully, when I went to a different Lennar Sales Rep (Princeton Lennar was amazing!) the week before that explained everything very well and took care of me. I just wasn't approved for the house with them, so they referred me to the Crandall area. Back to the Crandall Lennar Sales Rep. The Rep avoided many questions both me and my real estate agent would ask. I had texted her a few times to get answers to some basic questions, then she would just call me instead while I was occupied elsewhere. The calls weren't super helpful, I had an issue where my home keys didn't have the tag of where my mailbox was, and my sales rep called me just to complain and mention "oh you should have the tag in there that tells you where your mailbox is" after multiple times I told her, nothing was in the envelope. I informed her I still had the envelope and all it's contents still in there, but she called me 3x times to tell me "it should be in there". All 3x I answered her call, that's all she would say and never actually got me an answer. I ended up walking around the neighborhood for about 2 hours trying every mailbox I could. Just an overall terrible experience with the sales rep. But everyone else was amazing! Construction manager was fantastic and super receptive. He personally showed up on my key day and verified they fixed the counter top for me. Warranty tech was well spoken and super knowledgeable. I am pretty sure I may have asked him some silly questions and he was professional about it! ... More

Home buying process with Lennar lender was not smooth lots of back and forth. Quality of home is just ok. Considering the amount of HOA fees I would expect some community amenities but there are none.

I believe the walkthroughs are more for show than making all corrections. The major items were handled but the "minor" items that are more cosmetic are really not addressed.
