Lennar Reviews

Well first off the price was kinda steep, didn’t even get pre- plumbing for a water softener, no garage door opener not even ceiling fans for the owners suite or the living room. Then they just put together a wooden step in the back yard for when you walk out to the backyard, very cheap.

Was very unhappy with lack of communication from Lennar Mortgage. Would take days/week to get a response. Now that my loan has been sold to another management company. I have the mortgage reporting twice on my credit report.

I think the quality of workmanship should have been better supervised because we found many mistakes/imperfections that I feel should have been caught during the building phase. As a first time buyer, I was able to identify a lot of mistakes and I am left wondering what else was shortcut on or simply subpar which I have not yet identified. Also, now that the closing has taken place, it seems difficult to reach any of those involved in the process prior. As questions/concerns appear, i believe it would be extremely helpful if someone or a small designated team were available to address such concerns. ... More

Many issues with appliances not working and minor detail flaws

Way too many issues to list. Cabinetry in the kitchen issues with wrong colors and measurements. entire walls out of square, poor trim, finished carpentry and paint work done through the entirety of the house. Spaces with wrong measurements. Poor quality control. Every single trade’s work is really poor. Not surprised about the trades quality at all, I’m surprised about Lennar’s poor quality control. Now all there is to do is patch work. Unsatisfactory.

Thought the builder would have been able to help with this. Piping in the backyard is a real eyesore.

Looking to maximize profit for stockholders, Lennar overlooked the homebuyer by selecting mostly average quality (at best) features throughout, i.e., kitchen and bath cabinets, baseboards, door moldings, closet shelving, etc. Top that by not painting the garage or by selling upgraded "luxury" kitchens which don't even have a refrigerator and you have Lennar at its best. Heavy use of sheetrock mud, paint and caulking attempts to hide many of the workmanship flaws. It cannot be overstated, inspect EVERYTHING for operation and flaws prior to the developer's walkthrough and give them the list. Once closed, it's more difficult to get things done and they have other priorities. After two months, I still have "blue tape" places where work needs to be done and Lennar's representatives said the items would be addressed. ... More

Random things in the house were found to not work or not be installed correctly. Electrical outlets not working is very annoying.

We had our home built and we only had 1 package choice in options, color of carpeting, tile and floor planking. The windows, HVAC and appliances are on the low end of quality. Clean up was terrible. We spent a minimum of 20 hours scraping paint off the floor and trim.

Everything was good with the building experience, the communication, time lines. but there are a lot of Quality issues, workmanship and materials used. Simple things like Sodding, Attic Access, Fence, Plumbing, Tiles, Flooring ... every where the quality speaks ... Never i will again buy a Lennar Home

Less than pleased with Lennar completing items. Punch list was not completed until 2 months after move in. Carpet in main bedroom was stained and is still not replaced. Garage floor was not cured properly and still sticky. Still waiting word on when they will redo. I put requests in but still have not heard anything.

We have been very impressed with Lennar's response to work orders for customer care issues. The vendors they send out are prompt and efficient. We have been completely satisfied and would recommend anyone to use Lennar Customer Care

We loved the sales team. Mortgage was a headache. A lot of the supplies are cheaply made and constructed “to spec” but they’re not done the right way. Like the electric box. It’s approved by village inspectors but not done the best way. The windows and wall’s allow for a lot of noise from the outside

Almost everything was great. I did have a bad experience when a problem developed due to negligence from a contractor and Lennar was slow to help. I am very happy with my new home.

Beautiful homes, but be sure you are THOROUGH on your "Celebration" (HA!)walk-through. Once you sign on that dotted line, they are on to the next. Sure, you will get a call to be ensure nobody else goes through what you did, but they do nothing to resolve your own issues. So I'm warning others here too.

The people who work for Lennar were great. All were very helpful and very responsive. I’m not sure the corporation was as great. Not long after we signed our contract the price for identical unsold homes was reduced. We came to an agreement and they supplemented our purchase with other perks. However, shortly after that the price was reduced again. In the end we paid $13,000 more for our home at closing than the price the same homes were being sold for on that date. Hard not to feel like we were taken.

First time home buyer. Did not realize everything I would have to look out for. If I had thought to check some of these things probably would not have purchased this home. No faucet in the back yard to water my grass. I feel this should be mandatory, but what do I know? All the toe kicks in the kitchen are hanging on for dear life they will all fall off eventually. Had a minor gas leak that I did not report for a few weeks because I was told the faint fas smell near the meter was NORMAL, yes Im the idiot for believing that, this I do realize. Im sure there's more that I can't remember.

Our home buying process started from out of state, everything went fairly smooth at the start, and when we were local were even able to switch lots. After that construction updates were few and far between, with a delay in close date, which I understand is the nature of the beast. We found it odd there wasn't technically a blue tape walk, although we used our orientation to do that with the customer service person. Once we got to closing that was smooth, however the construction manager and customer service rep for Lennar told us to compile our list of things that needed attention within the first 30 days and get it to them so they could knock out everything at once. At 30 days we've found a bunch of bigger issues that need help and just a ton of little stuff that I fear will never get the attention. We were told we need to submit everything through the warranty portal. Well, if that was the case I wish I was doing it as it came up because now it's going to be quite a task getting it all in at once. Additionally the issues at closing still haven't been addressed so it leaves us little hope for the small things. Ultimately, did they build a strong house - yes, and we're grateful. However the workmanship is very poor in the house and would definitely advise a loved one to be cautious of that if considering Lennar in the future. ... More

Have some exception items after closing on 11/23/22. As of today 1/12/23, still not completed. Even scheduled for work, yet never show up on time and causing us to wait at home.

We moved into our house and several things still needed fixing! From painting, fixing a door that wouldn’t close to cabinets that have major cracks in them, under bathroom cabinets that have not been sealed or painted, caulking around one of the toilets to the master shower drain being plugged with debris and wouldn’t drain at all. That took 3 times coming 1 to see what was wrong, the other two times to “snake the drain” before it finally worked. In a nutshell it looked they they just threw it together at the end! We’ve contacted the contractor and site manager numerous times. Some things have been resolved but the cabinets won’t be replaced until March! This is so unacceptable! ... More

You do get a lot with the new home. Fence, grass, bark, trees and shrubs. Good luck with getting timely responses and fixes to warranty issues. They could greatly improve in this area.

My biggest issue is the fact that for over 400k the landscaping company fails to put landscaping material down before putting mulch down. I know the HOA wants all residents to pull weeds and maintain the flower beds. If landscape material is put down it helps weeds NOT TO GROW.

Sales process was great, then color choices, tile, brick etc. became an issue. Forced to revert to other choices. Still trying to get little quality issues resolved in the warranty process. Slow to respond, some final inspection items still need to be corrected 2 months after closing. Not being negative, I just expect quicker, better service.

We closed on our home in November at the National in Ave Maria. Our final walk-through was scheduled with Stephen virtually as we are from out of Country and couldn't be in town on the closing date. We lost connection part way through the call so had decided via a phone conversation that we would do the walk-through in person after the closing when we were going to be in town. Almost 2 months later and still no walk-thru. We left multiple messages for Stephen that were left unanswered. We were told by our sales representative that he was coming by on a specific date and he was a no-show. Disappointing to say the least but we are happy with our new home. ... More

The home has a nice floor plan and amenities. However, several customer care items remain incomplete. Customer Care contact is slow to respond.
