Lennar Reviews

We had to wait 3 months to received the new house

Jack our sales rep was not very responsive to our questions and what was going on with house at all. After closing (which was a fiasco) you think we hear from him but no, not a word. We still have broken cabinet in bathroom and door in breakfast nook that was to be fixed never was. Closet door has one handle not painted. Called customer care about spare bathroom shower having a stress fracture and I have yet to hear from our customer representative who is supposed to be taken over claim. I sure would like to have these items addressed. Also it would’ve been nice to warn people who bought house that with the water system your water bill would be over 500. Talked to other neighbors and they warned us and our bill was 700 because we ran the water like we told to do. ... More

Quick, accurate and thorough response to all issues and questions. Care and concern for all potential homebuyers. Completely accommodating to those who have problems with a manufacturer or any of the trades. Lennar has become a trusted brand and serious competitor in the home building industry.

House layout is great, however workmanship could have been much better. Can tell items were rushed and done quickly. There were things that passed inspection that shouldn’t have. For the price we paid for the house, I’m disappointed that we already have to fix items 2 months later.

Although the buyers experience was a little rocky, the responsiveness to issues in the new home have been great! We have had two issues, one with the thermostat and one with baseboard bowing… both were addressed and fixed in very reasonable time frame. Thank you to Ruby and Cody and the rest of the team!

Workmanship was poor at best. House closed on December 15th Did not really take possession until January 18th

Lender was not responsive. After the builder ensured us that all of the items on our inspection was complete as well as the items we marked with blue tape, we found several items were still not completed and even noticed quite a few pieces of blue tape were still present at the home delivery meeting. We also had a leak in our brand new roof and a sewer gas smell that took almost a month to resolve.

We really love the house, but our experience ended up being very rushed as our house was scheduled to close the day of Lennar’s fiscal year end. We have cracking on our spare bathroom sink that we did not notice on the buyer walk, we were told there is nothing that can be done and it isn’t covered because we could have caused the damage ourselves. It’s in our third bathroom that we just started decorating and haven’t even started to use. There are quite a few gaps in the cabinetry that we were told is “as designed” which is pretty odd. I worked at a store that sold cabinets for about 7-8 years and I’ve not seen wide open gaps in the bottom like that. Overall, the house is nice, just feel we shouldn’t have to put more of our money into it to get what we feel we should have from the start. ... More

The home is OK but you can tell that they use base home building items with NO extras. Lennar would not allow any modifications and the quality of the home is average to below average

WE Love our new home from Lennar and the accommodations received on our inquiries were addressed in a timely manner. The only thing that I did notice was the communication on certain aspects of the building process we had no control over. We were not advised of whether our laundry would be exclusively gas or electric hookups. Had to sell my less than one year old appliances and purchase new ones. other than that perfect.

Honestly, the communication from Lennar has been disappointing, chaotic and unprofessional. From the complete lack of a response for weeks regarding delays in closing to the 50+ list of "punch out items" that reflect poorly done and rushed workmanship, I could not recommend Lennar less to any future buyers.

As a first time home buyer, you expect certain things but I know not everything can go as planned. Communication at the start of my process was great between the loan officer and home consultant. As the weeks go by, I start to send out documents and I’m getting emails to send the same documents I sent weeks ago… or even just a couple days ago… are they not checking what I am sending. I was also given a very high interest rate even though initially I was told it was going to be a lot lower… the fix?? If you can get a lower rate elsewhere we will match it! Why not just offer the lower rate… Long story short to that, Lennar Mortgage matched the lower rate of the other bank. Now comes the last couple of months and lack of communication to myself and between Lennar staff. I was told closing would be a certain date but that got pushed multiple times until I finally closed 3 months from when I was originally told. I also had a scheduled walk-thru and was double booked that day so that got pushed a week. On my final walk-thru, the day of closing nothing was completed and blue tape was still up from when I taped. Miraculously, I still closed that day because I had it pushed a couple of hours. With all of this, no one was in communication with each other, loan officer didn’t know closing was pushed, home consultant didn’t know walk thru wasn’t done, and so on. In terms of build quality, it could be a lot better. I did have my own 3rd party inspection who mentioned the bones of the home was great but marked the little stuff that Lennar actually fixed. But to this day (a month and a half into living in the home) I am magic eraser-ing the small splatter of paint I see on the floor corners or floor edge. Would I recommend Lennar? if you’re going for price sure. But if you want quality in terms of home and the whole process I’d look elsewhere. ... More

A few small issues have needed fixed and it was nice to be able to submit requests on line and then have follow up right away. It has been a surprise how quickly issues were taken are of. We appreciate their Customer Care Team!

Check everything specially power outlets, garage door opener should not connected to power outlet switch. Exhaust fan not working properly etc .

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

They promised some thing and they didn’t deliver. work inside of the house is not that great. Quality of the product is not great.

We thought we were working with a reputable company but soon realized our sales representative Kristy at new Braunfels was the ONLY GOOD THING about our experience at lennar. Our construction manager Trey couldn’t have been more passive and untrustworthy, he was here bc it gave him a paycheck not because he wanted to deliver a quality home. The sub contractors you guys allow to work on the homes I’m baffled. I do no construction but have already fixed all the cosmetic issues your contractors left behind and Trey refused to have them come back and fix, one example of many the masonry guys left mortar all over our driveway/porch which dried and never got scrapped up so now we have dry mortar all over our driveway (Trey specifically said while we were on our way to closing that the power was guys were coming to get it up not to worry. Well that didn’t happen) . We’ve talked to all the neighbors and everybody has a story on how terrible their experience was with lennar as the builder of their home. The only reason we stayed was because Kristy went above and beyond 8 month pregnant, coming in early to clean up after the terrible cleaners had already supposedly cleaned. Scrapping paint off the floors herself. If it wasnt for Kristy fighting for us and trying to correct lennar mistakes the best she could we would’ve walked away no matter the fact that our started home had already sold and we wouldve been homes less for the time being. ...

This is my second home I bought from Lennar and it is the worst experience I ever had. First, The seller is empty promise, example - Promise to close on Oct, Nov and finally close in Dec. We agreed not escrow property tax in monthly payment. last minute still want to escrow and penalty 1% of I want to take out the escrow. I bought 8 houses in my life so far, I never heard such thing that you have to escrow property tax, they said company policy, if it is than let us know before we purchased and put the deposited. I am not happy with the house detail finish, however I got to moved out of my renting place, because I told my LL that I move out on that day. otherwise I would not want the house. I will not recommend friend and family to bought from Lennar, At least from this sell person name (Joshua) and read the fine print. ... More

The cabinet is very low quality compare to what the rep told me i will received

Unfortunately, when it came to our salesman it was a poor experience. When you re spending well over the amount the house is worth just do to the market you expect professionalism atleast. We had a wonderful experience with our project manager who really was attentive but when it came to customer service provided by sales contact it was extremely poor and unprofessional.

The house is supposed to be new and without problems, on December 9 I did the closing and there were some things to fix. The engineer in charge of the house promised that he would fix the house in a matter of weeks, as of today, January 31, the house remains the same and both the engineer and the customer service person are still missing without letting me know when they are going to fix it. the problems that the house has. The treatment that my wife and I have received in a matter of the house is incredible. It is unacceptable that they have a group of people working without caring about the things they do. This will be the last time I buy a house with Lennar. ... More

I would not suggest a Lennar home to anyone. There is no quality in our Lennar home. The shoddy work, incompleted work, no attention to detail, horrible mistakes that were left, horrible painting job, etc. I can go on and on. #donotbuyLennar is what I plan to go viral with. I have nails coming out of the stairs (that I stepped on), nails coming through cabinets (that I've cut my finger on). The lack of attention to detail is horrible. I need to put a sign in my front yard to warn potential buyers to stay away from Lennar. Everyone I speak with who are looking for a new construction, I advise them of the horrible home I am dealing with. I absolutely would not recommend a Lennar home to anyone; and Lennar should be ashamed of themselves for allowing contractors to do the shoddy work. I am definitely going to use my new as a resource for others to NOT buy Lennar. It's sad that I have crooked walls, places where the structure does not even meet, poor quality of painting, work left incomplete, the sloppiness, cutting corners, using bad products - again, I can go on and on. I will be reaching out to an investigative reporter to move forward with my issues; I will have this builder exposed for the lack of quality & bad work that contractors are able to get away with. ...

Cheryl was a wonderful agent to work with and kept the flow of information with updates current and made the purchasing experience easy. The Lennar staff tries their best to respond in a timely fashion however some of their suppliers are not as responsive.

Lennar homes tried to sell us the home which was 80% complete. They force is to close threatening to take away the deposit money. We had a 80 items on the to do list at the time of walk-through end since we have closed two months ago, I have had no luck in getting any of those items taken care

House was built even before planned date and meet our expectations.
