Lennar Reviews

I'm very disappointed with the workmanship. There are at least 15 items that I need to discuss with the people involved with fixing cracks, cleaning lights, moldings not painted and other things that have come up.

Lennar has long experience as a builder and their communities are fine. One thing to know about however, is that while Lennar will do a fine job of providing their own agent for the purchase, that agent works for them, not you. You will probably get better terms in the closing cost if you bring your own agent (fiduciary) with you. Another tip is to be polite to the actual salesman handling your transaction and get to know his or her assistant. The Lennar salesman will seldom, if ever, respond to your questions or email. But their assistant will. Focus on that person. Lennar gets an 8 out of 10 for the purchase process. Their construction is solid, their offers to cover closing costs are actually pretty good and their homes do include basic appliances. So they offer a good deal overall. If the need arose I would absolutely consider Lennar again for a new home purchase. ... More

The kitchen came equipped with 4 appliances. There were installation issues with 2 of them. Our first morning in the home, we could smell gas under the cook top. We called the emergency number provided by Lennar, only to be told this was not considered an emergency. We had the gas company come out, who said the gas line had been installed improperly. After a week, the dishwasher stopped draining. We went through the procedure required by Lennar to report the issue. It took 7 days to file a claim. A representative came out the next day to inspect the problem and determined it was a faulty appliance and that we needed to contact the manufacturer. Three days later, a tech arrived from the manufacturer, who determined that the appliance had been installed incorrectly. ... More

Our sales rep, Aaron was fantastic. He was and still is a great resource to continue to have. Our lender, Peter, through Lennar was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and made the process seamless. The woman in Lennar title, Leigh, was incredibly condescending and rude the handful of times we had to speak with her. We had to deal with her at the very end of the purchase process and she really put a sour taste in our mouths. We realize we cannot expect perfection, however, when you are spending $600k+ on a home, you have high expectations. - The finishes used are incredibly cheap and outdated - Some of the contractors used did not take time or pride in their work and it shows - The grass installed was dead in most areas when we did our walkthrough and this was mentioned and nothing was done - The home was missing about 15% of insulation in our attic. This has since been resolved after 1 month of living here. - Anywhere there is tile, grout haze and stains are plentiful. We don’t expect absolute cleanliness when we move in, but the grout stains should be removed, as they don’t come off easily. - When receiving the home, there was a clear miss on providing details related to the community, HOA, trash service etc. There should be a packet of information for the homeowner. Good thing Aaron, our sales rep, is around and has helped us navigate it all. - We even had a contractor walk into our home post-move, with his own key opened the door and walked right in. He was very apologetic, but the fact that this happened was not great. These are just some of the issues that we’ve experienced. I’m thankful to have some things fixed/corrected but others cannot be. Each builder will have their pros/cons, I just wish these homes weren’t built so quickly because the quality tends to decline when you have contractors just doing whatever they can, however fast they can, to finish the job and move to the next. ...

Sales rep, lending team and customer service people were great. Could use better insulation so you don't hear everything outside while you're inside

Our home was delivered on time, but with shoddy workmanship. paint droppings on the flooring and carpeting (everywhere). It was supposed to be cleaned before closing, it was not. The carpet was filthy, garage was a mess and there was fecal matter on one of the toilets (not ours)!

Everytime request repair have go to online, take a while, tile crack can't get repair, blame homeowners.

We are very pleased with almost everyone who was involved in the process - from a realty and sales perspective to the construction manager to the mortgage advisor. We were less happy with the pressure apparently from management involved in the determination of our ability to afford the home. This was never actually a concern, but they became worried, and it created stress that was both unnecessary and unwanted.

Homebuying experience was good. No major issues.

Over all I am pleased but there has been a couple issues.

Major complaint was in the lawn. Sod was placed haphazardly. Very uneven and hazardous to walk on. High spots and low spots can cause ankle twists and tripping.

Overall I have been pleased with my purchase. The couple of issues I’ve had since moving in were resolved quickly. Well all except the issue with the construction workers loud music on a daily basis. Other than that I’m very pleased with my new home.

Having a great response with the team that follow up and corrects any fault I have found. They are polite and concerned.

Be sure to measure every room. Lennar did not provide measurements of any rooms on the floor plan and no measurements of the yard.

What initially caught my attention with Lennar is the extra details they put into the design of the home. I also enjoyed working with the staff who were very helpful and quick to respond. What I did not like is the quality of the builders work. After closing I walked into a home with dirty windows and dirty floors and paint splatters in multiple places. The outlets on some of our walls were spaced out at different heights. Also, the paint touch-ups were very visible and thankfully Lennar was quick to fix that. Another aspect I did not like is the quality of the grass they planted. Everyone in our neighborhood has a bunch of weeds growing but the grass they planted is still brown in most places and only starting to become green in some places. They planted better grass near the mail box, a common space area, which was green from the beginning. ... More

Build quality seems to be done as cheaply as possible. All interior items are builder grade or low end. Only one outside faucet is also example of cost cutting measures. One disappointment was the poor installation of the sod for the homes yard. Soil prep was poorly done and I have to keep removing rocks under the sod, causing it to lay unevenly. Cannot evaluate all aspects of build quality at this early date. Will see how everything holds up over time Lennar employees were friendly and helpful during the purchasing process. Projected closing and inspection dates were all met.

Ask lots of questions and keep pushing for updates. We were building from 1000 miles away and unable to see how things were going. The weekly update videos were not helpful. Get a 3rd party inspection, we found roof issues but they were handled. My kitchen island countertop was scratched when we took possession, they replaced with another scratched one, but have agreed to replace again, 3rd times a charm? We had a water leak under bathroom sink first day. My kitchen sink had a large dent on it on closing day, so while movers were moving plumbers were changing out sink (that should obviously have been replaced prior). Our irrigation sprung a leak the day they tested it, they agreed to fix and that was a month ago...Lennar is very quick to respond. But we have had several issues since move in. I believe their goal is quick response to issues found. However, those issues could have been avoided. ... More

Nice home for a good price.

Overall experience was not bad but of course things arise. Satisfied at this time. I appreciate the Lennar team trying their best to help when it is needed. Hopefully it will continue.

It could've been better but I didn't receive the bifolds for three months.

The builder was nice, but I don't think there was much care/effort in the punch list items. The actual buying process and loan process was very frustrating. If we hadn't gotten closing costs covered by going with Lennar for the financing, we would have absolutely gone with another lender. We didn't have clear answers on anything throughout the process. We love our home, but the process even through closing was very scattered and unorganized.

Overall good from Lennar. Materials used could be higher quality

Make sure you look every

The workmanship takes a hit when contractors are forced to complete a home for delivery, which creates build issues that the customer has to deal with after the fact.

We have now been in our home for 2 months. So glad we have a year warranty and boy have I been having to place warranty requests! Todays request really makes me sad because there is water leaking from the washroom wall and we had to use the emergency water shut off. Fortunately they get back with requests quickly. Unfortunately this one sounds major
