Lennar Reviews

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

Yes I recommend all my friends thank you lennar specially to the lender and staff and the sale specialist thank you so much god bless

Moving to South Carolina from Florida was a big step for me and my family. Finding a new home became the spot lights for us. Lennar homes made our pick really easy. We have 3 kids and finding a home with well spaced rooms, open living rooms spaces and storage spaces are critical. The Lennar team also made it easy along the way, everyone was very helpful and provided key insights and suggestions along the way. Over all this was a great experience!

Overall we had a great experience. Lennar’s new home rep was very responsive to all our questions. We would recommend buying from Lennar.

Good experience and great neighborhood.

Overall just OK in our opinion. SO MANY layers of people involved in this purchase. We never knew who was doing what or when. Not sure Lennar did either for that matter. Still have things to complete that were told would be done. It appears that they are in a big hurry to get out of this development and on to the next, so we’re getting short changed. Hope that isn’t the case!

As a 1st time homebuyer we were so intimidated to purchase a home. Had we known how easy the journey was, and how great our agents and Lenders were going to be that work for Lennar, we would had started this journey a long time ago! I highly recommend anyone looking to purchase your 1st time home or even if it’s not your 1st home, to buy from Lennar. The Warranty process gives our family such a peace of mind that we can live comfortably in our home.

My experience went very smoothly from purchasing a home and the mortgage process

The front end of the buying experience was great. I appreciated the professionalism and prompt assistance we received from Patrick Sleeper and Dennise Vigil. We received a rushed orientation where we were told we could mark up what we saw that needed to be addressed. For a house our size, we had a quick one-hour orientation, because another one was scheduled right after ours that one couldn't be late for. We rushed through each room with barely enough time to mark the areas that needed attention. I addressed an area of concern and was told, "I wasn't getting a custom home!" he proceeded to make excuses for the imperfections and proceeded to talk about me when I walked away. Come move-in day, we get the house as is and what was marked up was to be completed by service at a later date. Our tape marks were simply removed and only a few things were fixed before they moved on to the next home. I never imagined moving into my first new-built home and being as dissatisfying as I was. Come closing day, my home was not move-in ready, and countertops, floors, cabinets, stairs, everything was covered in dust. The house was vacuumed but vacuum marks aren't enough when you can't move in immediately because you have to do a thorough cleaning beforehand. Our lights were left on in the home, we had trash in our front yard, our shower rod in one of our bathrooms was not hung, our carpet was lifting on the stairs due to the nails not being pounded down, areas of the floor were incomplete as the tile was not placed all the way to the wall, our baseboards are wavy and the drywall is wavy. We hired painters who we're having to pay more because they have to fix what the Lennar painters didn't do right the first time. Our painter pulled a vent off to paint the wall only to find someone's lunch trash. A can of Coke and a Wendy's wrapper were left right inside the vent for us to throw away. Lastly, we had urine and other evidence in 4 out of our 5 toilets from contractors using our bathrooms and not cleaning up after themselves when we were told it was cleaned. There was no soap or paper towels in the home so hands weren't being washed while the filth was spread throughout the house. The model and layout of the home are great. Everyone who comes in after can care less about building a home with dignity for Lennar to sell to hardworking people. ... More

I would love to give Lennar 5 stars but my experience over several months with “one bad apple” sales agent Monica left Such a bad taste. I hope that if you chose to Buy Lennar you have a better sales experience because once you get to work with builder Justin and Tom they give you a 5 star experience. Quality should be their last names.

Nice house with great materials, however we missed in the living room one eletric spot instead of a sprinkle.

make sure you are totally happy with all repairs before closing on house. very poor communication between builder and buyer. I will not buy another Lennar home.

The workers hired to build the home were not craftsman. I've been around master carpenters and furniture makers all of my life and they would not have hired the workers that built my new home. The finish work is disappointing.

Very very very sloppy work.

Al the time we received fast response.

Price is good, but there is little attention to finishing. There are many doors poorly cut and painted. There is a generalized rush to close even if the details haven’t been fixed. And when asked for support on warranties, Lennar reps do not respond promptly

Working with Lennar was no work at all. They kept me in the loop from foundation to closing. Great workmanship. I love my new home!

Rush to closing, home was not really ready. Response for repairs has been good.

The home provides good value for the price paid. The person I had for warranty issues did a GOOD job. However, other owners have had difficulty getting other point persons for warranty issues such as serious electrical issues to respond at all. The HOA, which is in charge of community concerns such as irrigation for new plantings, is close to unreachable. No phone calls to the HOA are answered: they go directly to voicemail. Phone calls are often left unreturned. It takes close to a month to get the HOA to approve or disapprove of home improvement plans such as having your lanai screened. Requirements for improvement plans were not accurately communicated to the owner when initially requested, leading to a rejection of the owner's application. Communication with the HOA is poor to non-existent. ... More

My home buying experience was horrible. It started from the salesman to the loan officer. They lacked customer service skills, respect, and information. For all the trouble I went thru to purchase my home, in the end it was not worth it. So many defiencies, lack of workmanship, and the lack of responsibility. I would not recommend Lennar to anyone. I wish I would have done my homework beforehand.

I am not technologically sophisticated. I have found reporting and following up confusing, frustrating, and non-productive. There also were an exorbitant number of problems.

Entire process went very smoothly and quickly. Financing portion was a little more difficult and time consuming but overall pretty smooth.
