Lennar Reviews

Lennar needs to improve the supervision on the third party company’s use to build their houses, since the standards are low to my point of view. They need a better QA team.

This house is nothing but issues from the beginning. I would never ever ask anyone to buy a home with Lennar again. Just bad communication with everything and cheap product.

There is a lack of pride in workmanship and construction of my home that shows in every level. i feel like i have been robbed. buying a new home is supposed to be a happy once in a life time experience, instead i am spending every day trying to have too many things replace or repaired. on a positive note, the warranty department is excellent and is working hard to rectify all issues.

The whole buying experience was horrible. Once I moved in I found so many issues with the house. The AC drain line was not connected so there was water damaged and the dryer vent pipe was not put it. They had to cut the walls and fix the water damage and it took a month to fix.

There were a lot more little things that need to be fixed/resolved in the house and there are items like light fixtures that were done the "easy" way not necessarily the right way.

Buying a new home from Lennar began with our excitement about owning a brand new place. Lennar Construction builds a good product, and they have been responsive in the fixes and finishing touches of our new house. We also used Lennar Mortgage as our mortgage source, incentivized by the $5k discount offered at closing. But this meant the buying process had my wife and me on one side of the contract, and The huge Lennar company—Seller and Mortgage arms—on the other. They drove the whole process, relentlessly and unilaterally, always at their convenience and pace, and penalized us when we couldn’t meet the unrealistic deadlines they imposed, due to delays which they knew were outside our control. We felt batted around and manipulated. In the end Lennar charged us far more than that $5k at closing. Buying from a private seller, using an independent mortgage source, would have been a much fairer and better experience for us. ... More

This was our 4th new house and the worst one. Caked on mud on the light colored carpet. Microwave came with someones else’s cooked on cheese. Just gross! Air conditioner had no breaker hooked up. Garbage everywhere. Not what we expected from a new home.

A lot of things left undone or inoperable. Many things overlooked or ignored. Your people cannot be this blind. One gal stopped by here and wouldn’t listen to anything I said. She should be fired for her conduct. Some to most of your people are third rate at best. The backyard is even incomplete with relation to the entire property. You’ll be surprised when you get the list I send to have fixed or finished. It’s not a short list

Sara was good but I wouldn't work with her again or recommend her. She is passive aggressive and has a big personality, not good traits for a sales person. Melanie with warranty was great! Very responsive.

They rush the building and closing process, so there are many imperfections that need to be taken care of after. They are very busy, so it takes a long time to get everything up to par. Good floorplans and thought, so-so work especially for "luxury". We are happy overall, but not over the top elated.

The buying experience was great, the rollout was excellent

Lennar made it easy for me to buy a home. They even helped when I had questions and did not understand something in the contract.

The price of the home doesn’t reflect the low level quality of materials and craftsmanship in the home. The home has a beautiful face on it but basic everything else from the cheap doors, no locks on the door knob, the basic level stove and microwave, carpet padding, no screens for the windows and the most horrific caulking and painting of the base boards. I reached out to inquire about upgrading the low level things and I was told that it violates the warranty!?!?. You don’t know all of these things until you get in the house and live in it. Also what happened to everything is BIG in TX??? The driveway doesn’t fit to full size vehicles. You can’t even get out and not be standing in the grass. That is TERRIBLE. I’m coming from Florida and the Lennar homes are on a completely different level and quality. I was excited about this experience but I feel like i’ve been scammed for $150K. My last place was built in 2019 and very similar. I wish I was back in Florida. ... More

Many things told such as gated community, golf cart friendly fans in all rooms and water views not happening They say they did not promise it their salespeople did.

My home was first to get close on Phase 4 (Smithfarm) , Internet and address was 2 issues after move. Internet issue got resolved after a week whereas address issue is have not resolved even after 1 and half month ( clear communication gaps between builder and usps). Overall construction manager has done great job on this home. Great community.

The buyer ends up purchasing what Lennar wants you to purchase and not necessarily what you want to because of their restrictions on color, location, model, interior finishes, etc.. In our case, the closing was sloppy and not very informative, the washing machine crapped out right after we moved in (the included GE appliances are extremely bottom of the line), the Lennar Warranty link was consistently broken each time we attempted to file a claim, and the only people that seemed genuinely interested in helping were the salesman (Ryan) and the Construction Manager (Ed). Too many issues take time to file and resolve, and on their schedule. We have many more claims to file and have only been in the house 7 weeks! We're afraid that the resolution may end up being worse than the problem. ... More

From the start to end. The home buying process was great. From the sales to the builders. They kept us up to date on the process.

Home was a mess.. floors were so dirty, notch for front door lock was off causing door not to lock properly, many floor tiles without mud underneath (hollow sound), lanai light covered by drywall, electrical outlet in attic missing, garage floor has deep embedded lines in concrete, 2nd lanai light not connected to truss (couldn’t hang fan), poor overall craftsmanship

Be careful what you sign up for.No flexibility on Lennars part.The home was well built.They tell you they will fix any thing but it’s at their time line.Love the area.No flexibility on when they will finish the house.If its beneficial to them,that’s when you have to close.The toughest part of the whole process was working with the lennar mortgage company. A nightmare. Otherwise,we’re happy we bought this home.

I almost went with another builder that was a bad deal and I went with Lennar and it was all wonderful and honest and I am very happy with everything. The service has been great and the people are do nice. I would recommend to anyone Lennar.

Lennar’s model is to build a lot of nice homes quickly. Community well planned and they streamline the process for output. This means no customization and a little less Quality Control than I would like. But, they fix the problems and the price gives you room to go back and customize the things you really want. They even worked with us to change lots mid-process. Overall. We are very happy

All tha service is good

Good day, Over all the loan process with Lennar mortgage was pretty much straight forward. Kim and Susan were Johnny on the spot telling me when I missed something or they needed something else and I think we work pretty well together. As for the support for other Lennar staff some was good and some was very poor. Sometimes I would call and ask a question and no one would call me back. My wife called and asked, in the brochure it shows the house comes with a refrigerator, washer and dryer and wanted to know about this. But as of today we have not received an answer about why our house did not come with this items. This is a text I sent to one of Lennar employees; Could you please stop by sometime in the next couple of days (and my address) this is his reply, What are you needing? I’m pretty busy tied up with a lot of home. At another time, I showed other employee a letter from the water company that I received about the Backflow Prevention assembly that Lennar had install and he said someone from Lennar will contact you about this, no one contacted us about the letter. With no one calling me back or getting back to me, I just stopped asking Lennar employees anything, I just do what I have to do to get things done. As for the house itself, at first it all looked pretty good, now that we are in, we are seeing all the mistakes. The good part is, in my case it all seems to be little stuff (attention to detail stuff) like; paint all in the wrong places, on the carpet, on the tile, on windows. The grass, trees and bushes were in bad sharp, about a 4 x 16 foot strip of grass was dead, one of the tree was broken off at the top and 2 of the bushes were dead. I texted one of Lennar employees, he did not call or text back. So after about 4 or 5 days I called him and he answered, I asked about the warranty on the trees and grass again and he said that there was no warranty on trees and grass, that’s pretty strange since Lennar pay a lot of money for these items. I think the main reason why the grass and bushes were dead were because they should have been planted 2 to 3 days before closing, not 3 to 4 week before closing where no one takes care of them. As for the sprinkler system I had to dig out 3/4 quarters of the heads so the grass could get the proper watering that it needs. As for the sidewalk, big chunks of cement on the sidewalk. If a kid was riding his/her bike and hit one of those chunks of cement they could crash and get hurt. All or most of this items should have been caught by you Quality Control (QC) team or at least the person who signed off on that certain project (paint and grout all over the master shower, whoever signed off on the shower, stating the shower is complete, should have seen all the paint and grout, I wear glasses and I seen the paint and grout without my glasses on). No A/C filter in the Air Conditioning unit, who knows how long ago the A/C unit was instilled and running without a filter. Your QC person needs to go back to Quality Control school and get recertified. I know there is a Quality Control school because I was one of the instructors at one of the schools for the DOD (Department of Defense). The big questions is, would we recommend Lennar homes to other buyers and the answer is NO. With no one calling us back, and text like, I’m busy, what do you need. The bottom line is I was a customer before I bought the house and I’m still a customer after I closed on the house. The only difference is that after closing I can write good things about Lennar or I can write bad things about Lennar with firsthand experience. Here is a good example of your great service; I received an email from Kim on 8 March 2023 stating that my loan will be sold. I emailed Kim on or about 2 April asking about this and here it is the middle of April 2023…. and pro for the course, I did not received a reply back. ... More

Build rushed. Drywall not satisfactory. Paint not satisfactory. Appliances not set up correctly. A/c unit not powered up. Propane tank too close to home, can't build a sufficient deck because of it. Very responsive warrenty program though. New home sales team pushing construction team too fast. Corners are being cut, mistakes are being made due to aggresive schedule from what I can see.

Construction issues unresolved during build and after closing. Inability to control quality of subcontractor work.
