Lennar Reviews

We started the homebuying process the homebuying process in October. The overall process took a very long time. Initial closing was supposed to be mid January, but it got pushed out a number of times. End of January, then early February. And all final closing "certifications" from Lennar didn't happen until beginning of February. Being on credit lock down for 4 months is a LOT. To have to wait 4 months to do anything because the final approval on the mortgage was delayed was more than a little stressful.

We enjoyed the process. The sales agent was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The closing day was longer than usual but the misunderstanding was cleared and we finally closed the same day. The meetings with the house manager were very helpful.

The process was a bit strange that you had to be pre-approved before being able to make an offer on the home. Actually worked out better for us in the long run. Second time we bought a Lennar home. HATE that you. Ant modify anything as it’s being built. I understand they want to keep the price down but really should put a cabinet above the space for the refrigerator and who still uses drop in sinks for new builds? Happy with everything else would just love to not have carpet in rooms and then have to pull it out to put the other flooring in that’s already installed in the house. Still, a good buy in a great location. ... More

There have been some minor issues with home construction. But the Concierge, Construction, and 2 of 3 Customer Service individuals have gone the extra mile in being very flexible and helpful. The main customer service rep assigned to me has been excellent. There were also some issues with the loan process that caused unnecessary delays and misunderstandings. But other employees at Lennar Mortgage rectified the issues. Currently in the process of resolving some inconsistent information. Lennar Title was very professional, efficient and responsive. Overall, a good experience so far.

I like the quick response to any issues with the house. The repairmen were very courteous and professional.

IS HARD TO CONTAC HOA

We love the floor plan. Was disappointed in 2 x 4 vs 2 x 6 studs. The build should have more insulation included. No major issues at this 3 months in. Closing was seamless. We hope to live here for many years.

Overall quality is OK - biggest complaint is the sheer amount of trash left over from the builders. Rusty metal pins, screws/nails, shingles, concrete pour-over from the patio in the grass. Nightmare for anyone with kids or pets!!

Well it took me 3 houses before I got the house I have now. The first house the loan officer was asking me about my Zelle saying I owed Zelle and I even got an inspection for the house that Lennar sold while I was getting all my information together. Then the second house I didn’t get because I didn’t want the high interest rate. So the third house I got because they already had all my information and we closed quickly. But I really wanted the first house. This is my first time buying a house and the salesperson didn’t give a house gift. It seemed that she want interest in making sure the customer was happy. After we closed she didn’t want to answer no questions she told me to talk with someone else. I’m very disappointed by this. I was thinking you would be more than happy once the house was sold. I wish the person had a heart. They should have different sales person and not the same person in that area. ... More

Good buy for a non custom, quickly built home.

All things were not as we were was to believe

I was not happy with our creaking floors on the 2nd floor.

Lennar's Sales person was very helpful and pleasant to work with. We had a nice experience and are enjoying our new home and neighborhood.

Over all a positive experience with a decent quality construction and amenities. My minor dissatisfaction comes from the fact that the builder did not install a single ceiling fan and sprinklers for lawn in the backyard.

Lennar’s staff are exceptional. Unfortunately, they are dealing with too many workmanship issues that are not corrected by the trades at final inspection. It is evident that the CM, quality control and sales force have learned to accept a “production” standard that for most buyers is totally unacceptable to a buyer. Buyers expect quality workmanship when purchasing a home. Many defects have been corrected but more have materialized since occupancy. We are certain Lennar will fix the defects but it is disheartening to have to chase problems down.

Maybe a little bit pricey..otherwise it was a great experience!!

Happy with the overall experience. Very helpful sales agent and construction manager. They kept me up to date on progress and sent pictures (I moved from another state). Noah with Lennar Mortgage was fantastic and made the mortgage process simple.

Good not great build. Mostly built to code and not above. Builders all over the nation could do a lot better on insulation, structural and fit and finish. Look at code as being the starting point and see how you can do better than code and maintain costs.

Our closing was scheduled and I checked ahead of time to make sure all financial issues would be eliminated. We arrived at the "Welcome Center" at our location as instructed. 10 minutes before the time I receive an email saying that the closing would be 30 minutes away. Upon arrival, there was NO paperwork and more money was required to close. Closing took several hours and was completely inept.

I bought my house remotely. So from a distance I found the buying experience frustrating because communication with several different people was not as smooth as I expected. I bought cash which should had made the process easier. I had to many times remind people the I was buying cash.

My home buying was stressful but in the email end it was worth it

My Lennar home is beautiful. The Lennar staff have all been extremely kind, helpful, and prompt with addressing our needs. We do have a little disappointment with some issues found by an inspector that we hired, especially with the HVAC system. However, Lennar seems to be eager to correct the issues with the home.

As a first time homebuyer I must say the process was very smooth. My loan processor was amazing!!!!! She made the experience heavenly. She stayed in contact while my home was in construction and even after to say congratulations. The targeted closing date was pretty much on target from loan origination and delayed by 2 weeks. That is pretty phenomenal. I’m happy with the home. Only item I wasn’t totally happy about was the video rendering showcased a beautiful staircase with a banister. The finished home has a wall built. Kind of a visual eye sore aesthetically. But I will replace it. Overall I’m happy and grateful for a smooth experience. ... More

Do not be afraid to ask questions---make a checklist and work closely with builder, and real estate agent when possible.

Overall we were happy with Lennar's homebuild and process. Our pre-drywall inspection according to our 3rd party was "well above average" - meaning it was done fairly well and only maintained a few critical issues. Getting these resolved required some follow-up but our construction managers were communicative and helpful to get the job done. Slight delays outside of Lennar's control caused rushing toward the end but no key items remained unresolved by closing. Again, I would recommend walking the site and staying on top of every step of the build. Some finishes could be nicer for the cost, specifically the builder-grade closet racks, mirrors, and cheap paint/unfinished garage. Would also love to see Lennar include more things in new-build purchases like towel racks/toilet paper holders; really simple and functional things are not included. ... More
