Lennar Reviews

Lennar has beautiful homes and a state of the earth workmanship. New homes are equipped with energy efficient appliances and home finishing is a plus. Realtors and other teams are great. The team need to work more on closing day preparation and preparation homebuyers on penalties in advance. Otherwise Lennar homes are the best to invest and live in.

The first steps were great, signing contract and going through loan approval. The absolute worst part is walk through and closing. Lennar did a preliminary walkthrough with us and promised everything (and there was a lot) would be done by Final Walkthrough. Fun fact - final walk is scheduled 30 mins before closing. Needless to say, on closing/final walk day hardly anything was done. We were told by our Foreman Chris that it would ALL be done by the time we close. It was not …. We had paint all over our floors, a light switch was buried in the wall, paint all over our windows and the house was not even cleaned. Everyone was gone when we returned from closing and the house was a mess. Trying to get our Foreman Chris to get the light fixed was an absolute nightmare. He could have cared less that a live wire may have been buried in our wall. Talking with our neighbors we all quickly realized the entire closing/walkthrough process was a scam. They have a serious issue with communication. It is the Lennar way. I love my house but would highly recommend NOT closing until everything is the way you want it and ALL questions are answered to your satisfaction. ... More

Our house is just ok. Everyday we find something that is awful with it. Meaning the trim, the doors, the paint. The trades don't care, and when they speak very little english you feel bad telling them that it still looks awful when they come back in to "try" and fix it. They always have to call the boss and see if they can or can't do more work. But then it ends up looking just as bad as it was at the start. The trim work is horrible and the doors all look awful as well on the bottom.

We were pleased wish our purchase and so far the home is well built.....not many complaints. There are just a few minor issues that need to be fixed, for example a little touch up paint and texture.

The home buying process with Lennar has been an overall success. My family and would say there were som ups and down from inception. We do understand nothing is perfect. Communication during underwriting could have been somewhat better but once again we do know that this is a process that includes many persons and parts to complete. I do believe the finished product could have been of better quality. From a cost perspective, the sub contractors should pay more attention to quality control verses quantity production. This will benefit Lennar through the warrantee and punch out time period as well as the customers having to potentially complete repairs or changes on their own. We are enjoying our new home and do believe the process once again was an over all complete package that we do appreciate. ... More

Debbie made our home buying experience very easy and pleasurable. Brett was very thorough during our closing walk thru and made sure all our concerns were taken care of in a timely manner. Debbie and Brett are both Great assets to the Lennar brand. Very SATISFIED!!…

I'm very happy with the purchase of this house

Watch mortgage specifics to the end. Many bait and switch tactics. Follow up after closing us non existent.

As our customer services rep said when I showed him the corners that aren’t square and the garage frame being crooked. “ it’s a production home not a custom home” That’s a summary how our whole experience have been with Lennar. Things just aren’t right, square or straight.

Love my new home! Absolutely adore it. I have not had the greatest experience with the salesman after I had signed the day of and put my deposit down. The QA guys were great. But they did say that my house would be cleaned before i moved in and sadly it was dirtier than it was the last time i saw it before it was officially mine. Found footprints and fast food napkins in a bedroom. The attic was left open with the light on. I have tried contacting my salesman (since he is the closest) about a few things and received nothing in return. One warranty guy was helpful on the AC problem I had (my home sat on the market for a bit and so throughout inspections and such the Freon went low, i get it, no biggie) but i had a problem with the dishwasher leaking and he said nope we can’t help with that that’s a GE problem, but come to find out it was due to the way it was setting in the spot and it was a simple fix. Other than that, it is a beautiful home and very energy efficient. I’m very happy with my purchase. To note: the financial side was little better but a few people did not answer back as quickly as they expected me to. I had to follow up a few times before i got an answer. Plus closing was incredibly easy, but when i had questions about closing i had to ask family because i didn’t get answers from the company on either side, sales or financial. ... More

The buying experience was terrible and the house has already had to get the air conditioner unit replaced. The air is CONSTANTLY messing up. The tile in the shower looks like it’s been done by someone who didn’t know what they were doing. Never again.

Great job lennar we are super happy with our house thank you so much

I can’t describe my experience. It was so bad that I have no words to describe it.

Really happy with my new house and all the Lennar team

Lennar rushed me into a home that wasn’t ready to be moved into. Everyday I see more and more things that should’ve been completed before I moved in. luckily I still have a year left to get things corrected, but it should’ve been ready to go before I closed. I’ll know not to purchase with Lennar again in the future

Worst buying process in town, from begining to end of the process

The houses were put up too fast and there was a lot of mistakes that lennar made in our house . I had a wonderful project manager that was on top of getting most of them done to this point. Some others were not as lucky as we were with our project manager .

Get a home inspection !!! There were some issues for sure. House was delivered with blue tape on walls, unfinished work… These houses are slammed together as fast as possible. Very rough around the edges and lots of corners cut. The sales team made statements that were not true and very quickly the “plans changed”. The appeal is the price for a new home vs what the market is for an older home. It’s a tough economy so buying a new home is very appealing. New != quality, so take that with a grain of salt. The construction managers all tell conflicting information to different homeowners. ... More

This review is meant to be a level-headed review for future potential buyers. I will say that the sales staff is amazing and very attentative! I have no issues with the sales team at all. My issue is based on the craftsmanship and the warranty department. CRAFTSMANSHIP: Okay so the structural is good and solid. They use 2x6 boards and did a good job. The issue lies within the finishing touches. Crappy concrete job done right before rain so it is very rough. Bad concrete cuts and major cracks already showing. The boards all around the house had Knicks and poor cuts. The inside of the home has bad cut outs for all sorts of stuff and looks like they just didn't care. Bangs and cracks in the doors, failure to paint items, bad cutouts and just a general feeling that they rushed everything and didn't care. If you buy, CHECK EVERYTHING. Do your walk through for as long as you need. They will pressure you to be done. Don't, take your time and find everything can before you have to deal with warranty. WARRANTY: Okay now the really bad news. Lennars warranty is nothing short of a joke. The representative for Johnstown farms couldn't be more useless. She will not be helpful and have an excuse for everything. BE WARNED. She is not there to help you. I can't believe Lennar wants to put their name on this and has such terrible warranty service. Also, get an independent inspector to help you identify issues. This will help your case when you inevitably have to deal with her. FINAL THOUGHTS: I will say structural is good, sales is great, but I will probably never buy another Lennar home. The warranty service mixed with the bad final craftsmanship is just not the home buying experience you're looking for when spending near half a million $ on a home. Look elsewhere. ... More

The entire process of buying my house with Lennar was outstanding from start to finish. The quality and value of the house cannot be better. The Lennar Team did a great job since I started filling out my application until closing. They always responded immediately. After the closing, any request for maintenance/repairs were addressed immediately. I highly recommend Lennar to any person wanted to buy a property. You’ll not be disappointed.

Every Lennar Team member that I dealt with doing my home buying experience was very professional and pleasant to work with. If I had any questions along the process they were there to answer them for me. They tried to make my buying experience as seamless as possible. Great team to work with. If anyone is looking to buy a home consider Lennar Homes.

If you go everything lennar (mortgage,title,etc) its fast since you are only dealing with one company. But, that limits your options. Main issue, they don’t install the sod/grass until you buy the house. So end up doing the work on maintaining the initial install. watering twice daily for 2 weeks and if you miss it then you have terrible lawn. Its a learning curve for first time homeowners without lawn care experience. Specially if you haven’t move in yet, They install sod without telling you so you miss the watering days and end up with dead sod

Unfortunately I'm a furniture maker so workmanship and overall quality are very visible to me. Here's what I got for $800K: No handles on cabinetry, flat paint or primer used only, No soft close hinges or drawer guides, one hose bib and a front yard that was supposedly "carefully" designed and looks cheap as heck. Amazing that I'm looking for painters to redo the interior.

My bad experience was with Lennar Mortgage. With proof of employment, excellent credit and a generous down payment, they were not able to past the fact that my employer would not provide proof of remote employment. It was so frustrating that I paid cash for the house just not to have to deal with them. As far as the workmanship - overall, the house is fine but there are a list of issues where they just got lazy and did not check their own work.

The loan process was easy and straight forward. We were informed on next steps. Loan officer always ready to answer our questions and nice. It was a great experience
