Lennar Reviews

Floorboards don’t meet edge to edge. Carpets have staples popping out and not secure to the floors, drywall and paint left on and in between floor boards, paint on every baseboard of every entryway, shower tiles uneven, no grout sealant in showers, overuse and build-up of caulk, crown is cracked from top to bottom, line work from wall to crown to ceiling is uneven and spotty -ranging from not meeting to edge to crossing over onto the crown, paint on tile edges, center island ought to have sensibly been measured to a single top rather than molding two pieces together at what apparently was the end of a mis-measurement. I could go on, but you get my gist. ... More

Lennar salesperson was easy to work with and offered an easy in house mortgage offering with no closing costs. However, the mortgage application process was clunky and exposed a lot of internal communication problems. We had to approve everything twice because a second application was started because we were locked out of their site. Instead of canceling one they required us to approve all documents twice. Upgraded appliances were included in our agreement. However, Lennar reneged on this and refused to honor the contract. This turned what should have been a positive experience into a frustratingly negative one. The customer care team found many defects during our walkthrough which were repaired before closing. ...

USPS will not deliver mail for those of us on Eden Ave. our mailbox location in the wrong location for the mail carrier our street uses. USPS says they can’t get Kenner to do anything about it. It’s been months of having to go to usps location to pick up ourselves.

Despite hurricane Ian and the delays it caused, the quality of the new home is really solid. I’d recommend Lennar to all my friends.

On day 1 we had a water leak because a pipe from the AC unit burst inside the house. Weeks of inconvenience and worry. The paint is already peeling. Issues with the washing machine and windows. Very sloppy workmanship with little or no supervision. There is more I could add.

I moved in 2 months after closing . Home was built in rush so there are many little issue including internet connection with HOA but they are very responsive in resolving all the issues . I have to send multiple tickets but they care and help to resolve the problem .

Overall extremely challenging to communicate with the lennar team. Multiple people all responsible for different branches none of them communicate clearly, causing lots of frustration.

Below par quality. Lot of cosmetic issues. You charge premium price but your house quality is far below than premium From the issues I see looks like there is no quality inspection done for cosmetic issues before handing over to customer. Pathetic paint job. Grade C. Cleanliness issues Take the accountability. Value the customer and be respectful.

easy to navigate through the issues

The house design and sales agent were great. That is where it ends. At best the craftsmanship is poor. Lack of attention to detail is on full display. When you are paying near 500K for a home, one deserves more than shoddy work. Lennar is not responsive to requests for service and fabricates excuses why they are not liable.

I purchased a single family home a +55 Active Community and would not ever purchase from Lennar again. Attention to detail and simply doing the job right the first time is lacking. 1. There was not a model for me see so I relied on assurances from the salesperson about certain aspects of the home. The model I toured had large lanai similar size to the one on my house. The model has a hose spigot. I specifically asked the salesperson if my house would have one and was told yes. After the house went up and I inquired why the spigot wasn't there, I was told no. 2.I have doors that open onto each other meaning the door handle from one door is already denting the opposite door. When the door warranty person came out he advised one of the doors should have been a pocket door. In two other places where the doors open onto one another he advised the swing of the door should have been reversed. Lennar's response is, just because our warranty person makes a recommendation we are not bound to make the correction. The result will be that I end up tearing a hole in the door. 3. When I moved in the outlets on the kitchen wall did not work. The warranty electrician had to cut a hole in the dry wall and install a junction box because one was not installed in the build. That meant another warranty person had to come back repair the drywall and paint. 4. A couple days after moving in I smelled gas in the cabinet under the gas cook top. The gas company came out and showed me that the connection had been properly sealed - thus the leak.5. The stainless still kitchen sink is horribly scratched. At the time of final walk through there was so much dust and an dirt in the sink I did not see the scratches. A warranty person came once an rubbed out some of the scratches, I am waiting on a second visit. 6.There is no brush on the bottom of the sliding glass door so bugs come in. Daily, there is as much dirt in the tracks inside as outside the door. 7. The MBD and FR ceiling and light fan were wired so that both the light and the fan were on the same switch when you should be able to turn on one or the other. Meaning... yet another call for and trip from a warranty person to correct the issue. Every trip by a warranty person is another request and another day I have to arrange to be home with people traipsing in and out of the house. 8. The house was left was dirty. The grout in the tile floor is filthy. It should be a light color almost white and it is gray with dust and dirt. Looks like they laid the floors and failed to cover them while additional work was being done. After closing I removed one of the upper and lower cabinet next to the refrigerator to have a bar area built. When we removed the lower cabinet we found the cabinet had been installed on the cement floor. They should have extended the kitchen tile and then installed the cabinet. Additionally the floors in the showers were not cleaned after construction. ... More

We had a nice experience with Lennar, would be appreciated more flexibility on changes that impact our lives in the new home. The company does not have flexibility at all to do changes even if you are willing to pay.

Overall, I was disappointed with my homebuying experience.

The workmanship is the worst I have ever seen. The follow up is almost nonexistent. Customer service is slower than slow. It takes for ever just to get a return call.

The purchase experience for new home from Lennard Homes, was a smooth and painless. The Lennard team did all the work, and made it possible to close in one month. The loan officers communicated with us the whole process to avoid delays and helps us obtain our Dream Home.

Mark did what my real estate agent did not do. I used a financing program that is not is not normally used (USDA Single Family Homes). Most people are not familiar with it. This financing program requires that you purchase in certain areas. The USDA originally said that the location I had selected was within the required location but 2 months before closing they informed me that the location I selected was NOT within the required locations. I was devastated. I called Mark and my agent to let them know that I was not going to be able to purchase the home because of the location. While my agent accepted this, Mark did not. Mark called my contact at the USDA and was able to convince them that the home I was interested in did fall in the necessary location. Mark is an incredible asset to Lennar. I wish we had more Marks in the world!! I am so grateful for him. Mark held my hand through the whole home purchasing process. I never dreamed I could live in such a beautiful home in a secure neighborhood. "Thank you" does not feel adequate to express my gratitude to Mark. Isabel ... More

It really sucked very bad. Call corporate to find out why

This was my first home purchase, and the overall buying process was great.

Krista was amazing at selling us what seemed like our dream home. The showing process made the homes at Lennar Johnstown Farms look amazing. Come time to move in and we had issues with title, with mortgage and with the construction of the house. Tolerating everything up to getting the keys was easy to do because we had excitement for what was to come. We made it to the house where things that needed to be fixed, were not. There was paint splatter all over the house on the inside and on the out. Appliances were changed without our knowledge. Overall I think the sales team sold exactly what they were supposed to but the construction team failed to meet expectations. ... More

Buying experience was good but on the building side of it it’s poor

While I enjoy my home, cosmetically, there was a poor job done on many things to cut corners.

We were very happy with our 4 bedroom Lennar home in Trail’s Edge. So far so good. The seller agent Shawn was great and the construction manager Ryan was very responsive. The punch list was short which was excellent. We are comfortable if something comes up, customer care will work with us to resolve it. Overall very happy.

In overall, it is a good experience, good accompaniment throughout the process, they could improve the materials they use in the bathrooms, update the laundry machines, provide information on how to contract the garbage service.

Not a bad experience but definitely could be improved. Sales people don't handle the stuff professionally, too many emails are something which worries but handling this scale is also not an easy thing as well. I hope they either slow down or add more staff so that they can handle customers professtionally. They need support staff before sales who can listen to the customers complains.

The process was mind boggling at first, but it was the best thing I have experience beside my two kids. Lennar was by my side through the entire process and in the end I was very satisfied. With that being said, I adore my new home.
