Michelle did a great job

  • Glen S.
  • Verified Homebuyer

  • Richmond, TX

The home purchase with our loan officer was great. The closing process was very disappointing. We were denied our keys after closing because of a $49.00 last minute fee by the title company. Never do business with Lennar again and will not recommend to my other investors.

Lennar responded:
Good afternoon Glen,

We thank you for sharing your feedback and sincerely apologize for the negative experience you encountered at closing, particularly the issue with the last-minute fee and the delivery of your keys. I have shared your comments with upper management for their review.

They did not remove/correct orange tape from walkthrough.

  • Marcelo F.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • May 07, 2024
  • Splendora, TX

During the final walkthrough we pointed out things that had not been corrected in obvious spots. Such as large splotches of gray in the middle of the wall (obvious things). The lady who did our walkthrough said to just sign the final walkthrough docs or Lennar wouldn’t be able to make the corrections. We went to closing and we asked again about the discrepancies and were told after closing they would follow up. No one followed up. We tried reaching out and our calls went unanswered. We had to remove multiple orange tapes and granted we understand the hard to spot ones. But in the middle ...

Very poor quality. They show you a model home, then drop the bomb on you, it don't come with this and that, bait and switch. Put cabinets in with NO knobs to open them with. Much much more.

Not the greatest experience.

  • Carlos S.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • May 07, 2024
  • Kissimmee, FL

The Lennar team lacked communication. Any time we had a question it seemed like no one made time to respond or help us out unless they needed something from us; like sign a document or process a payment. Everything felt rushed and they wouldn’t accommodate to simple request we had during the closing process. Very satisfied with the house I bought, just disappointed in some of the communication skills.

Lennar responded:
Good afternoon Carlos,

We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication you experienced with our team. I have shared your comments with upper management for their review. We are happy you are very satisfied with the home you bought. iI you encounter any warranty issues, we're here to help.

Overall buying experience was good.

  • Gregory M.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • May 07, 2024
  • Converse, TX

Build quality seems to be done as cheaply as possible. All interior items are builder grade or low end. Only one outside faucet is also example of cost cutting measures. One disappointment was the poor installation of the sod for the homes yard. Soil prep was poorly done and I have to keep removing rocks under the sod, causing it to lay unevenly. Cannot evaluate all aspects of build quality at this early date. Will see how everything holds up over time Lennar employees were friendly and helpful during the purchasing process. Projected closing and inspection dates were all met.

After buying several new homes, this process was the absolute worst!

  • Suzanne W.

Building with Lennar was the absolute worst experience. The home was 5 months late. No ability to change or pick out anything. I call it the Walmart of new homes. You get what you pay for

Lennar is garbage.

  • Joseph D.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • May 07, 2024
  • Hardeeville, SC

Disaster all the way through. I really believe Lennar failed in every aspect. And from now, the house is already falling apart. All baseboards have left the wall. Outside panels are peeling back. Incredible. The finance side of this I could write a novel on how bad it was. Absolutely unacceptable.

Lennar responded:
Good afternoon Joseph,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize that your experience with us fell so short of expectations. We understand your frustration and disappointment, particularly regarding the condition of your home and the difficulties you encountered with the financing process.

Unfortunately I wouldn’t not recommend building with Lennar to a friend

  • Brandon R.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • May 07, 2024
  • Meridian, ID

-Buying process was painful and the price on the contract didn’t match the verbal price we were told. -Early on during a scheduled visit, I noticed the wrong bathtub and shower was installed. It took a month of nagging to get someone to confirm that the wrong shower was installed. This ended up causing a 3 month, last minute delay of our home being built. -the sheathing on my roof has about a 5 inch gap on it. I assumed a vented roof cap was going to be installed. That is not the case and I have a 5 inch gap just covered by shingles. Lennar claims it’s per manufacturer standards, but I’m ...

The concrete out the outside is already cracked. Lennar is not willing to fix it. Yet with time it will settle and crack with the foundation of the house. A month in the home the stucco has settle more and it’s more than a quarter outside the house. Horrible job who did the stucco and crack. My cabinets under my island is messed up. They can’t guarantee it get fix better or it can be worst. They should have done it right. New home and they say to not expect it to be perfect conditions and to settle for what it is. My gas dryer didn’t work. The fencing is crappy

Terrible experience!!

  • Nicholas L.

  • Lakewood Ranch, FL

This house should have never been handed over in the shape that its in. Terrible workmanship and everything seemed rushed. Zero quality control done for the price we paid. If someone spends close to a million dollars on a house you expect everything to be near perfect. Extremely disappointed and disgusted with the laundry list of punchlist items that need to be addressed.

Lennar's motto is "Everything's Included" yes... but... Things that are NOT included: Washer/Dryer, Door/drawer pulls for cabinets, fence, back yard, more than one bare thin coat of paint. During initial conversations we were told that there were closeout specials and that we could make an offer and things would be accepted, this was far from true. During the loan processes we were told that 4% was available, this was also far from true. There were a lot of places where it felt like Lennar made promises that they had no intention of keeping and it very much soured me to the experience. ...
