Lennar Reviews

Neither the concrete subcontractor or the irrigation subcontractor showed up at the time I was told they would be here. I have not heard from either of them. The floor in the garage looks like a spiderweb. I am concerned The cracks will continue into the house and ruin the tile .I do not understand the lack of response from your subcontractors. On my final walk-through I mentioned to your representative I thought someone should have been in the house much earlier to take care of things that were still being done on the day of the walk-through. His response was “ I got here after the build was complete so it is not my house.” Not a good response. ... More

If I could turn back the hands of times I would have never bought a home with this builder. My salesman David was to sum it up the worst if you get him run immediately. Tiffany my loan officer tried to get me to close on a house I wouldn't be able to take possession of just so they wouldn't have to redo paperwork. It's been a month my front lawn has fallen into the street my cabinet fronts are falling off, I have standing water in yard and they never relaid the sod so now its mud and weeds and they stripped it from the edges so the grass doesn't even meet the sidewalk. Byer Beware

Our new Lennar home experience was excellent. We are happy to have found a great community to retire in Delaware.

This was an purchased as an investment property as good thing this was not our main residence. We had our walk thru with the main project manager and gave him a punch list of items that needed attention and or repaired. None of it got done (even after we closed) and they had us submit any issues once they got their money to a website to submit any further claims or issues. After a week of calling they came out and fixed some of the issues and we still have several items were still waiting on hat need attention. This has been ongoing on for over a month now. Very poor customer service and the quality for what you pay for is very subpar. I would avoid this homebuilder if you can (especially if this is your main residence) ... More

Brokers, both realtor and mortgage great to work with Made purchase pleasant

Don’t buy a Lennar Home if you expect to receive a nice yard to go with it!!!

Make sure when you do your walk thru you take your time and person takes notes. Take photos. 75% of items were not corrected and now we're living thru contractors in and out of the house. Makes it difficult when you're trying to settle in.

Very poor communication when buying home especially since we came from out of state.

Not good on helping with warranty items

Great experience knowledgeable people and patient

Home was delivered 1 year late with very poor craftsmanship and little quality control. House was not delivered in moved in condition and was very dirty. Craftsmanship is equivalent to DIY. Uneven flooring, cracked tiles, cracked grout, loose, rotted, moldy subfloors, missing cabinetry, electrical issues, crooked walls, sloppy paint and trim work.

Overall we love our new home. As with any new home, there have been a few issues/punch list items but so far Lennar has been great about fixing them. Lennar Mortgage (Bryan is amazing to work with), Lennar Insurance and Heidi all made this home building and buying experience an easy one. Thank you

The overall experience was stressful , I believe that the craftsmanship of the house is poor, as I am already seeing nail pops , had to have warranty work done . When asked if I could have some paint to touch up my walls after moving in , I was told you can go to Sherwood Williams and tell them Lennar house Walnut Creek and they know the paint . To be honest that’s not what someone that pays 500,000 for a home wants to hear , your build supervisor did catch the pillar in front of my home as twisted . Placement of light switches are awful why not have a switch in the garage for the garage , No outlet near the water main to use the monitoring items that require 120 v , I rate my over at 3 stars , some people on your team work as hard as they can to please the buyer others are just there to collect a check and you can see that , the warranty dept was quick to come and fix my issues , slate did a great job of keeping me in the loop. ...

2 days after moving in to the new construction home my downstairs bathroom had a sewage back up and overflow. I had 6 inches of sewage in my entire bottom floor of the house. Bayonet was sent out to scope the lines and clear the clog, they found construction rags blocking the path and the cause for the over flow. This over flow ruined almost all of my furniture and everything in the boxes that had not been unpacked yet sitting in my living room. I was told everything would be covered by Lennar, this was not true. 3 weeks of very loud dehumidifiers running 24/7, which increased my electric bill by almost $200, my living room was tented off where I could hardly get into my kitchen for 4 weeks, I also had to miss a lot of work just to be home while they replaced the drywall that had been damaged. I am a first time home buyer who has had a horrible experience with Lennar through this process. I have still not received an apology for the incompetence of the construction workers, only god knows how they got the construction rags in the pipes. After everything got repaired I proceed to ask about when I would be reimbursed for my personal belongings that were damaged considering I had been told the whole time that I would be reimbursed. I was then given a warranty handbook and told to read a section on page 9 that tells me they aren’t responsible for personal belongings damaged even though I have no control over this. I am getting married in august and still have about 10k that has to be paid off. I am now put further in debt because I have to buy all new furniture. This was supposed to be a fresh start and the beginning to an amazing next set of years, instead I am stuck in a rut thanks to Lennar. What a horrible experience this has been. Unfortunately all I have been left with is to urge everyone that I know to never buy a home from Lennar. ... More

This isn’t second Lennar home. I am a single woman and was very nervous about everything. I had to buy a home after the hurricane and I went to Lennar because I knew I had a great experience before. Kristen walked me through all the financial steps and answered her phone and texted me back always and very promptly. Colten answered all my questions about the property quickly and with detail, Mike followed up to make sure I had all proper documents and Brian has been in touch and over the top in any questions or other Ned’s with the home. These employees exhibit such loving concern and empathetic interest. They are the reason I recommend Lennar. Of course Lennar develops a beautiful good quality home fir a great price! Thank you Lennar! ... More

I have very good experience with Jon and my loan officer (Christian) and his team. But on my backyard the drainage (landscape) is really bad. I report for lennar home care last month 03/10/2023 and they told me the builder will fix the landscape. It's over a month now and a lot of water on my backyard. There is rain last Wednesday after 6 days still a lot of water.

We have enjoyed our experience with Lennar as positive and exceptional workmanship. Everyone we encountered has been pleasant and responsive.

Great Experience The Builder took time to respond to all my questions

Our homebuying journey started in January 2022 with Lennar. With the market going crazy and labor/product shortages, Lennar suspended new sales of lots. The floor plan was what we fell in love with...and after being on the top of waitlist for 4 months, they raised the price 30k and rates rose from 3 to 6%... yet decided to sign and move forward. My wife and I got to choose everything we wanted in our home and were very excited. 2 weeks after signing, we found out we were pregnant after trying for about a year! Foundation was poured, and we have our initial building consultation where we were quoted 1 inch of fall for every 10 ft per the Construction Manager. Unfortunately, that 1 inch per 10 feet became closer to 10 -12 inches per 10 ft as the home progressed. For investment purposes and my families enjoyment of the yard, we decided the lot was not something we could live with. I was not about to spend $570,000 on an almost unusable backyard due to sloping. My wife and I decided to shift to another house already being built that also was scheduled to be completed prior to the birth of our first child. Our inspector found numerous items throughout the building process which coincided with a very dry fall. During the last 3 weeks of construction, the community warranty representative was on leave, the construction manager got COVID and the main carpenter parted ways with Lennar. This left quite a few items on the home finished poorly with few workers to repair in a timely fashion as our closing was between Christmas and New Years. One such item was a broken window that was supposedly ordered prior to closing....only to find out that the construction manager was not true to his word and we now had to submit a warranty claim. If you are looking for fast acting response times from a builder, Lennar is not that builder. It took 67 days to have a broken window pane repaired after reaching out to the company on 7 separate occasions, ultimately including a call to the Indianapolis Division President. We've had shingles blow off and have to be repaired 3 times, foundation leaking via cracks by both basement egress windows, a gas leak at our oven, siding VIOLENTLY rattling at multiple points throughout the home, concrete with negative sloping towards the home at the garage threshold and at front porch, bricks left in the kiln took long and installed on the home with large cracks (dozens), crooked kitchen cabinets and handles, a very crooked stair railing, and about 20 other smaller items. My favorite, though, has to be the 7 leaking windows. We are now 107 days post-closing and they still leak every time it rains. Recently, my wife and I came downstairs to a pool of water on our dining room floor. 107 days is almost a 3rd of the 1 year warranty, which Lennar has expressed they will not extend despite the unreasonable timeframe to repair this water intrusion...not to mention this major slipping hazard for my wife and baby girl. Being a real estate agent, the silver lining is that this horrendous experience has happened to me and not a client I am representing. I couldn't imagine the negative social media publicity I would get from someone complaining about this kind of outrageous experience. I will definitely be thinking twice when consulting a client who is interested in a Lennar home in the future. The only reason the responsiveness is not a 1 star is because of Wayne. The community warranty manager that came back from medical leave to clean up someone else's mess. This guy was behind the eight ball and has been nothing put polite and responsive to my wife and I. Unfortunately, not all Lennar employees are Wayne and he alone couldn't make up for the others' mistakes/communcation. ... More

All in all a good experience. We got a well built home at a reasonable price. Some of the workmanship could have been better which required a number of tradesmen return visits. Lennar's was very responsive to any issues, kudos to them. Bottom line I am a satisfied home owner.

Be careful and double check everything

All I have to say is that these lennar homes aren’t built with quality but rather with just speed over all - they can build a whole house bottom up in 2 months but won’t fix an issue after close date. After you close it’s like you don’t matter. Quality = what you pay for.

House is great floor plan and price was good for what we got. Follow up of service is a little slow because of the rush to build new homes. Hopefully when building is done they will be back to finish up the little details that need attention.

Laura F. in the sales department was great, with frequent communications and helpfulness. The closing process was smooth. My only complaint about the sales and closing process (which is a plus, actually, in the current market), is that the closing date was pushed ahead by a month and I had a temporary rental that I could not get out of, so had 2 properties for 2 months. Which DID allow a slow move-in, with ability to have contractors do work without the home being cluttered with boxes and large furniture being placed (getting in the way of painting and the like). My big "nit pick" is that Lennar advertises "everything's included" and it's FAR from that. Some things ARE included that I don't feel necessary, like the smart home features (need to add a lot of components to make it a worthwhile system - the homes are generally long and dead spots are an issue, for example - and they are pricey), while others, like patio screening and an open patio (this is the South and a beach area; folks want to be outdoors), assist bars in showers and tubs (many buying in this area are 55+, hello), blinds, ceiling fans, and a painted garage are not. But, to be honest, this is the current state of the building industry. My sister owns a home built in 2016 and it's shocking to see how many features were standard back then (different builder) and are not today. My advice is to expect a LOT of needed additions and a big budget would be helpful. ... More

I had tenant moved into my new house with lots of issues, unfinished drywall paintings, big issue AC is still NOT working after moving into the house for more than a month, glad our tenant was tolerant. Tenants started complaining about noises on the pipes, glad it turned out be something small. This was my worst experience and appreciate if you can look into the issues, this is my fourth home, I am owning and never had any serious experiences like this with any other builder. Hopefully someone can focus on these issues and come up with a resolution soon
