Lennar Reviews

Lennar is extremely unresponsive and quaility of work is poor. I would never buy from Lennar again. I just did a walk-through with BTI Parnters at Marina Pointe. Their attention to detail was night and day comparted to Lennar.

Very dissatisfied with my yard. It has so many holes and bumps when it was laid. There are so many small things that wasn’t addressed after my walk and still waiting on materials to come in to fix them.

It was great. Everything moves smoothly

All was great until I came home one day and found 2 men replacing the air compressor on my air conditioner They were told the house was vacant which clearly it was not They could not provide me with any work order and told me I would have to contact the hvac company which I did without explanation other than they had a work order .The hvac company went ahead and registered my air conditioner so they could get paid for the service and I did not find this out until I went to register the unit a few days later.

Flat white paint on walls! Really No light fixtures or fans? Really You call yourself a quality builder? Terrible customer service. No updates on status. Treat customers very poorly.

The workmanship quality and issue handling was not up to standards. Infact, I had a very bad experience dealing with the closure of the issues that I had highlighted during my orientation. I was promised that certain issues will be addressed before closing, but a lot them were not addressed even after closing. It seemed they wanted to get done with closing without acknowledging that I still have open concerns. I would definitely not like to go through the same experience ever again. I hope Lennar takes this feedback seriously, coz customer satisfaction should be one of the primary objectives for the quality team and they definitely ignore that. ... More

This was one of the most stressful processed I have been through. If we hadn't loved the floorplan and neighborhood I would have walked away from a $15K deposit. To say that communication was terrible is putting it lightly. It was essentially nonexistent. I sent 100s of emails that went completely ignored and unanswered. Our sales rep deliberately misled us to calm us down when we were really exhausted from the process. While he didn't outright lie he did mislead and showed highly unethical service. We were delayed time and time again. They even pushed our closing on the day of closing with no one telling us when the new day would be for another 5 days. When we finally got into our home there were still many items that were not completed, painting, doors, etc. The materials are cheap builder grade which is to be expected so I can't completely fault them there. On the positive the warranty team has been wonderful. If anyone is considering buying with Lennar I would be sure you really love the house and neighborhood and add 3 months on top of whatever they tell you is the timeline. Also, don't expect communication and be prepared to experience the worst customer services of your life. ... More

Builder response on few reported items was quite awesome and completed reported issues on time. The house orientation by the QA team was not expected though, should have spent some more time and covered each part of the house

Lennar doesn’t drop prices, Lennar doesn’t help with closing fees, and Lennar doesn’t put lights in bedrooms! Lennar doesn’t help at all! My experience with LENNAR was my worst experience ever. I’ve purchased many houses across the world but I’ve never once seen something like this happen.

Altogether the home is decent, but the workmanship was shoddy in places, with some carelessness, sloppiness, or not paying attention to details. And many issues that needed fixing that we pointed out even before closing still have not been fixed more than a month and a half later. The included appliances, cabinets, and flooring seem to be the cheapest Lennar could find. Some aspects of the design of the home were not thought out well, with shower heads and bathroom cabinets being too high, and the garage too small and driveway too narrow - I can barely fit my car in the garage. What's the point of a garage if you can't put your car into it!? The construction quality seemed poor also, with cracks in the foundation and split/broken 2x4s in the frame. Also options for cabinets and flooring that we saw in the model were no longer available at the time we wanted to buy. They cut back on a lot. ... More

Communication was absolutely horrible through the home buying process. My close date was changed more than half a dozen times and we were over 1 yr delayed, I received a house with many issues that are still being resolved including exposed electrical wires, unfinished kitchen cabinets, etc. The warranty team takes quite a long time to resolve problems when something is submitted. Lots of corners were cut and it was a very unpleasant experience overall.

The frame is decent although you need to watch them and stand up for yourself. Finishing work is ok. Trim is rough in spots, painting is ok if you like having paint on your carpet. They do clean it but I have never heard of the carpet and finishing going in before they do the painting.

Good quality homes. Nice neighborhood

Big, beautiful and very neat.

Do not buy, run away. Sales team made false promises, they are just looking for your money. No quality and construction issues left and right. Tile issues, plumbing issues, poor worksmanship, cutting corners everywhere. They want to save on everything.just expect atleast 4walls.

We're so happy to have a new property, but the experience was not as expected. With no options offered to upgrade anything, everything is really "builder grade" finishings. Communication during the pre/closing time was not acceptable, nor was the early efforts to address the many punch list (pre-closing findings) and post closing warranty items. If we're in the market for another property, while we may consider another Lennar property, we'd strongly consider a different builder. With Lennar, you have to be focused and unrelenting in what needs to be addressed.

I had a very positive purchase experience with Lennar. My Sales person & other Lennar Reps all were very knowledgeable & kept me updated weekly on progress. Very happy with my townhome & the purchase process

I had a great buying experience from Steve, he got me the price i wanted and actually listen to what i was looking for in a home when i came in. Didn’t feel rushed or pressured at all. He was awesome! After buying the home i did have 2 issues that needed major repair with plumbing and electrical. There were a lot of minor cosmetic issues i thought were addressed after the final walk through. Overall we are content with our purchase, however could spend more time doing QC before delivering final product to the customer.

I did not have a great experience with the sales office. There were many errors in the beginning. Also, I think some need more customer service training on how to answer questions. I was consistently told Lennar has all the control; the buyer doesn’t have a say. It’s very disheartening when you hear that over and over. The construction people were awesome!!!

I had a great experience working with the construction crew and supervisor. The process from construction to the house being done built was good with great responsiveness of issues regarding the home and other issues throughout the process. However my experience with the sales team and loan process was bad, the responsiveness was terrible, communication was bad and questions that I had were not answered till days later . As a customer buying half a million dollar home there should be a bit more communication. There should also be more professionalism with the sales team and them not expressing so much of their emotions if a client is having second doubts of buying a home, also the negotiation on the price of the home was terrible. I had to reach out to the sales region manager so I can negotiate the price of my home since the sales team weren’t budging on anything. I’m positive you guys have lost multiple customers due to price negotiations because the sales team won’t try to workout things out and those customers gave up but could’ve bought a home if they would have just called the region sales a manager. ...

This is my family's first new home purchase. I wish I could say that everything went as well as we wanted but that is simply not the case. Lennar moved our closing date several times. There was no infrastructure set up for internet in the home until 3 weeks after our closing date. The whole thing felt rushed and then ultimately stalled toward the end. I feel that Lennar just wanted to get this one penciled in the books before it was truly move-in ready. We have been here a couple of months now and have submitted multiple work orders for a Ring Security System that was not working properly (and still isn't), missing corner brackets throughout the linen closets, inaccessibility to internet, etc. Be sure to inspect your home thoroughly before moving in and make sure EVERY appliance works. Our dishwasher was not connected properly nor was our Ring system working, and there were several lights dangling in the home due to poor installation. We are thankful that the neighborhood is so friendly, and schools are rated so high because that is what is keeping us here. Lennar leaves much to be desired especially for a home that cost north of half a million dollars. ... More

The purchase agreement process was the simple part in the buying process. After that everything was stressful. The home sales consultant was horrible to work with. Our home celebration walkthrough was not a celebration. Unfortunately our home was not ready to close. There was lack of quality work and the home was nothing compared to a model home. It has been 3.5 months since closing and some of the outstanding work is finally complete. The project manager is unresponsive and there is lack of communication between the sub companies and Lennar. We have also spot painted the house more than 3 time since closing because the quality of paint is awful. No one can touch the walls because that will cause marks. We will not consider Lennar new build ever again. ... More

Working with Lennar was a nightmare. I’d heard negative stories from friends and my real estate agent about buying a home from Lennar, but I’m usually a pretty easy going guy, so I didn’t expect to actually have any issues with them. I was very wrong. Two of my friends who were also moving into this development backed out of their contract and sacrificed their $3,000 deposit because of how bad their bad experience was. Instead, they went with a DR Horton development and loved it. I decided to stick with Lennar, but in retrospect, I wish I would’ve backed out too. Their communication is horrible. They don’t respond to most emails, texts, or calls. They didn’t schedule a closing date and time with me until a couple of days before, which by that time, I’d already had travel plans and had to make adjustments. They changed the flooring for my house from what they had initially told me, and didn’t even bother to give me a heads up. They tried to strong-arm me into using Lennar’s lender, even threatening at one point that they weren’t going to let me close if I switched to my preferred Lender. On closing date, they promised that they’d have the certificate of occupancy from the city that same day. Because of that, I agreed to go ahead and close. However, when I went to get my keys the next day, they wouldn’t give them to me because they still hadn’t received the certificate. I felt tricked and manipulated. It was incredibly upsetting that I had just bought a house and couldn’t even get my keys to move it. Immediately after moving in, the garbage disposal and dishwasher stopped working. My mailbox key didn’t open my mailbox. Instead, it opened someone else’s mailbox. Lennar is having to reprint keys to my box, and to this day, I still can’t access my mail. But I can access my neighbors mail. They haven’t responded to me or given me any kind of update about when this will be fixed. A month in, and my cabinets are pulling away from the wall (which isn’t covered by warranty), so I have to fix the issue myself. I closed on my house over 6 weeks ago, and I still don’t have a working dishwasher or garbage disposal, I can’t even access my mail, and I’m having to fix cabinets. ... More

the floors in this home are so hard that have been in excruciating pain since moving in and I consider this house unlivable! if I could trade it in I would it. I cannot recommend anyone buy a home from lennar if this is the type of flooring that will be in your home. the pain I am in out weighs any good. I will say that responsiveness has been quick but no avail. The overall home buying experience besides a few delays was pretty good the salesperson James was very helpful and patient, and I felt Diana who did the walk through was trustworthy, but again, the flooring is so awful I would have to give it a zero on quality of workmanship and materials is substandard and I would see inhumane and criminal. I do not think the value is worth what I paid and after 8 months of looking for a home and moving over 1,000 and all of the obstacles I faced to get here, I am looking to get out in less than one month of moving in ...

The entire buying process was seamless.
