mostly positive because it's a production home

Unfortunately we are still waiting for the original punch list to be completed well after a month of us closing on our home. Many items that needed to be addressed were never completed. The new home on the day of closing was filthy inside and the driveway was very muddy.

Not a good experience

It started out good and took a quick bad turn. First, my house is supposed to close in April and it closed in February. I found out why. They had me sign all the paper the last day of January on a Friday had I waited two days my interest rate would have been 4.5 but my interest rate was at 4.99. That was Friday night and I had 20 minutes to make it to the bank and they had me go and get it cashier check if they didn’t get it in by the 20 minutes it would’ve closed on Monday instead of Friday and I would’ve got the 4.5 interest rate . They told me in the office that I had to close Friday and I ...

Worst Homebuying Experience

  • Visalia, CA

From the beginning, the Lennar Sales team was not responsive to initial inquiries we submitted for home we were interested in. It required me to follow up on weekly/bi-weekly basis before a representative even provided the information on the available homes and the plans. I felt like I was inconveniencing her asking for information. Once we signed the purchasing agreement, we submitted the application to Lennar Financial who waited a few weeks before reviewing and starting the escrow process. They only started with the paperwork 3 weeks before our close date but indicated it would not be an ...

From start to finish we had a great buying experience with Lennar Homes. Very honest and easy to work with. It’s been almost two months since we moved in and we love our home! I would definitely buy another Lennar home in the future or recommend their homes to friends and family.

I have had the worst experience ever. My home was not even ready to move into when I moved it. It has still yet to be cleaned. There is still blue tape on on damaged of my house that were never repaired even after multiple phone calls. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LENNAR HOME. I will do my time living in this house and can’t wait to sell it and move. There is nails sticking out of the all where my kids play. After repeatedly asking even in my blue tape walk for it to be taken care it wasn’t. That is insane! Adam the gentleman that helped me through the financing is great!

I’ve lost tons of sleep, the experience was to say the least was heart wrenching at times, you forget this is a business first for them and a home buying experience for you second in their eyes. You’ll want to leave and forget everyone associated with the process and then you’ll wake up one day with an email saying you’re clear to close and it’ll all be worth it and you’ll thank everyone evolved. Well maybe everyone…lol My advice, be good to yourself. Compared to what you’ve gone through in your life to get to this point consider this a walk in the park. Strap in and enjoy the ride, ...

In Lennar the important thing is to sell, the client is not important

To summarize, I have bought 2 properties with Lennar, in the first one I had problems but I thought it was an exception but in the second time I had problems again so I finally decided to file a service request or complaint, that was more than a month ago and I still have not received response even though I sent it again due to the lack of response. It was addressed to customer service and the person responsible for that area. I hope that these surveys are reviewed and activate improvement processes and customer responses. thank you so much

Terrible Experience With Lennar

  • Justin V.
  • Verified Homebuyer
  • February 20, 2024
  • Katy, TX

I personally didn’t have a good experience at all when purchasing my home. My loan officer was fired days before my original closing date. Supposedly she didn’t upload any of my documents to my folder and I basically had to start from scratch with a new loan officer. This process pushed me back another 3 months. This was very inconvenient to my life because I had to make adjustments and spend a lot of unnecessary money in order for my family to be good while we wait on our home. No extra incentive for their former employees mistakes, no one reaching out to check in or being responsive when I ...

This is the first NEW home I ever purchased, all the others were pre-owned homes. Our sales representative “Shannon “ did an excellent job in helping me through the process. The new home orientation was very good and Desmond was very thorough in showing me all the operations of the home. I have 2 comments, first the space for the refrigerator is not deep enough to accommodate a 25 - 27 cf. I had to buy a smaller 22 cf refrigerator. The space needs to be 36” not 24” deep. The last comment is there should be a written outline of the house orientation, naming service companies by trade (ie) ...

I was told throughout the home buying process by the realtors in the office and walk through team, who are all employed of Lennar, that I could put a fence in my backyard as long as it was 4ft or 5ft back aluminum. I have had the most frustrating time getting my fence approved since day 1. There are other houses with fences like mine that don’t cover the entire property. The covenants state that I don’t have to. I don’t appreciate being told by every person I talked to that represents your company I can do something that has become a huge headache. You either need to fix my problem with ...

This was a very fast process especially if you have all of the required documents ready. The saleswoman, and loan officer worked together and answered every question. The loan officer held our hand and she was great. Now the underwriting was a different story. This was the most difficult part of the whole ordeal. Bottom line have all your ducks in a row. We are very pleased with this investment.

Make sure to check everything before closing. They will rush you saying you will miss the closing by promising we will do it later. After closing, they will change it saying you have to reach out to warranty team. This is ridiculous. Hvac switches are interchanged, light dome is missing. Backyard landscaping screwed up. Lot more to say.. Sales person involve in everything and when you say something is not right, the response is let construction team handles it. Shame!!
