Lennar Reviews

The underwriting process was a complete mess. My close date had to be moved because of this. The underwriter and processor were so difficult to work with, I got approved a day before closing. The processor would not answer calls or emails and would keep requesting for the same document even though it had been uploaded multiple times. She would not call to clarify or nothing. The people in the office gave me a hard time, they were no help in getting the mail key and kept referring me to usps. I had to report the matter to higher ups to get the mail box issue fixed. Since moving in, I have had terrible red ant issues, the house is not properly sealed and red ants be coming in the house through the cracks in the wall/foundation. I have had to get pest control to come spray the house exterior and interior. The back of the gas burner had a massive hole that was not properly sealed and this was another entry for ants. The baseboards were not properly sealed too and ants were coming out of baseboard/trims and I had to seal them myself. I can imagine the amount of damages the ants will do behind the trim. The only good thing about the house is the amount I paid for it, everything else is just below average. ... More

Going through the new-construction-home-buying experience w/ Lennar was very easy. They made uploading the documents simple and they were very efficient. I’m happy w/ the whole process and very happy living in my new townhouse. It was perfect for me at this point in my life having raised two children, now adults. Highly recommend using Lennar.

Very honest people to work with and reasonably priced

This is our 3rd new build. Buying a home can be very overwhelming. Unfortunately we haven’t had the best experiences in the past. Would like to give Tom a great review for being responsive and professional. It’s nice to know you can reach out when needed.

Lennar gives you more for the money. They included the blinds, refrigerator, and surprised us with a washer and dryer. Other home builders do not do this. The overall experience was great.

We had nothing but good experiences with Lennar. From sales to closing felt like everyone worked as one team to get us across the finish line

This our 3rd time buying a home, 2nd time buying a new build. We had to extend the closing date three times because the home wasnt finished. We did a walk-through before closing and gave a list to the builder of all the things that needed fixing. Some were cosmetic, but some were big deals such as the sofit was missing by the front door, the outside of the house needed to be painted (still gray with stucco), and the some doors didnt have hinges or locks. Nothing was fixed before closing and we were told someone would come during our first week. No one came for almost a month and only took care of the cosmetic things (re-caulking, etc). They then said since i already closed, everything else needed to be requested under the warranty because they need to prioritize finishing the other units. Where was that work ethic when it came to finishing my home? Ive since submitted the request via warranty and theyre getting fixed slowly but surely. ... More

Lennar made this experience an amazing one, from working with the agent to securing the mortgage to the orientation to the move in and beyond! I couldn't be happier in my new home!

Overall we are very happy with our home and the community! The largest complaint we have is the workmanship. Attention to detail has been lost for sure. Landscaping and concrete work has been terrible and an ongoing headache. The money Lennar saved with low bid has cost us huge in time spent managing repairs, not to mention the work I have to go back and redo. Lennar, please start taking pride in your own product and ensure quality work is done ahead of time.

Was a horrible experience, no communication whatsoever at any moment and builder was horrible

All okay, not happy or satisfied I would say okay

Throughout the whole process, they were threats of taking the house. They were just extortion of making us pay more money just because they felt like it forcing us to use their lender even though their lender would never respond to me sometimes at all or I will take four or five days. The sales rep was very short and disrespectful. All around a horrible customer service. They acted as if we did not matter and if something didn’t work out, they could just sell it to somebody else. They didn’t want to help us work through any issues. I just wanted to try to take the house from us.

The financial team was not aware of the new VA loan process. My processor did not communicate with me until 30 days before closing. I started my home buying process in August of 2022. I did not speak with her until late April early May 2023. I eventually had to use outside lenders and obtain legal counsel to close on my home. This process was horrible.

Will never buy another subpar product from Lennar. Poor quality, poor construction, poor execution. Don’t fall for the trick that everything will be fixed post closing. Walk away or trust me don’t get involved in this fiasco. Talked with 3 neighbors who experienced the same issues. This is just plain poor business practice and flat our wrong. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company; wish I did.

Terrible experience. We pushed to close on a house that was not finished and poorly constructed. We still have extensive damage that needs to be repaired.

This review is after 8 weeks of closing. Price is for the Lennar brand and I don't feel it's worth it. Pros: House Plans, Community, Location, decent customer service team Cons: Subpar Workmanship & Quality during the construction process. Poor finishing of concrete on the front porch and screened porch. Hole in the driveway exposing clay within a month of moving. Poor quality of LVP causing chips/dents. The dishwasher broke on 2nd week. Inadequate disclosure during sales by the sales agent and the agent goes AWOL after the purchase. Uneven flooring causes wide gaps between the floor and trim. Improper positioning of lights and switches. The cleanliness of the house and surrounding was below expectations before delivery. Punch items dispute and resolution with the construction manager was a hassle and still items were left out. Items on the plan were not delivered despite it being on the model home. ... More

It was great working with all of people I came in contact with.

Working with Taylor and Jeff T. during the construction process was very smooth. They were quick to answer any questions and help us through the building process. Also Jeff C. with the Customer Care team has been following up on the few items that have come up since moving in. Would highly recommend Lennar!!

I wasn't here for the repair work, but my parents were. They told me the workers were very nice and professional.

The Lennar sales rep that we had gave off "manager's son" vibes. He was never at work so we never met him and every time we called he was doing some not work related activity during work hours. He got extremely frustrated with us when we took a few extra hours to review the one-sided sales contract and then took as long as he please because he was "driving horses down to Georgia." No sensitivity to the fact that we had concerns and were first-time homebuyers. Every time he called our phone, I got nerves in my stomach because he always felt like the villain in our story. The inspection was a joke. The gentleman was very nice and patient throughout the walkthrough but he made a lot of promises and kept none. When we did the final walkthrough, the house basically looked exactly as it did before the initial walkthrough. He had a lot of excuses and a lot of "you could get that stain out if you sand it down" type suggestions. We were left with the unfortunate situation that a lot of buyers are left with where you either delay closing and your movers and all the other plans you have, or you accept the house even with all it's faults. I have heard of cabinets falling off the walls of neighbors and every contractor we have had come try to fix a gap in our screened-in porch says they can't do anything about it. So we have constant bugs in our screened-in porch. Also, every single rubbing up against the wall will leave mark much more profound than it should. The paint is SUPER low quality and it shows. They also have no intention of updating their closing documents. For example, they gave us a sheet that said they would be giving us a one-time paint and drywall coupon that we could cash in within the first year to take care of nail-pops and other things like that. When I reached out to the maintenance team to inquire about the coupon I did not receive yet, they said they were no longer honoring that coupon. Super disappointing and sketchy. They also do super sketchy things when it comes to HOA employment to try to keep control from the owners as long as possible. Buying from Lennar will never leave a good taste in your mouth. They are a large builder and you are just a speck on their earnings report and you will like such. I know sometimes you fall in love with a house and you just have to make moves but having gone through the experience, I recommend watches the video warnings online about Lennar and heeding them. They are terrible and impersonal as everyone says. ... More

The sales guy from Lennar was wonderful to take care of the whole process. There were hiccups during the first walkthrough but they fixed them all on the second walkthrough. There is an emergency leak caused by outside hose speagot. Lennar sent right away to fix the issue of plumbing. They fixed the drywall and did the painting caused by the issue. They stand by their warranty.

4 windows have leaked so far. Not happy with this. But they have come out in timely manner to seal them. Measure garage depth before buying. Your car might not fit in space

Best experience I have ever had with a builder.

The house itself is very nice, the warranty response has been good to great. The actual buying process was.... frustrating. We were frequently told to sign paperwork affirming we'd recird documents we hadn't received, then promised we'd get them later ("it's just a formality"). When signing the initial purchase agreement we were supposed to receive the HOA covenants and bylaws, we did not get them and we're told we'd get them at closing. At closing I asked about them to be told, "no, we don't deal with thay at closing you should get them when you move in/the hoa contacts you." We still don't have them and it's been almost two months. Closing was all online, and then they tell you to drive somewhere else where they give you a manilla folder of keys and shunt you out the door in 5 minutes. Very impersonal once they've got your money. The closing cost credits were amazing and the house and Floorplan are great, and I'd recommend lennar to others, just that your expectations of interaction with lennar themselves should be tempered, people are nice, service is (mostly) good, but don't expect to feel special or valued or like you've got much of a personal connection with anyone other than your personal realtor. And Margaret. She was actually fantastic. ... More
