Lennar Reviews

Very poor workmanship with numerous issues for a brand new home. Poor quality materials with rushed installation lead to poor quality. Extremely poor attention to detail.

They are a big builder that took advantage of California real estate boom, built too fast and not great quality. Their communication and responsiveness is incomplete.

I had a great experience buying our first home from Lennar. Lennar Sales and builders did a phenomenal job and were very professional all along. However, I had a bad experience with Lennar Mortgage who were pretty unprofessional.

Good house but good finishing and after service is a problem.

Great project manager. Not impressed with sales person on my account. Sub contractors were hit or miss on workmanship

Lots of "I will get back to you" with no follow up

Despite the short time that we have been living in this new property, some inconveniences have arisen, some already occurred before occupying the residence and others after, the concern on the part of the builder to solve them has been acceptable, although I believe unnecessary delays have occurred that sometimes affect credibility, we understand that working together with third parties is sometimes complicated, so that should be improved, as you wish, thanks

I was told I was getting a $1000 Visa card. At closing, I was told NO Visa card. I called the sales guy and said he will get me a washer and dryer. It's been almost 2 months and no washer and dryer. I have built 3 homes - this was my worst experience.

Poor finishing, very bad communication, only good experience was my loan officer very pleasant and helpful. Home is not worth the price. I certainly will not recommend Lenner.

Where to start? The house was not ready when we closed. Lennar builds houses and then is completely unprepared when someone attempts to move into it. Appliances were not in until the day after we moved in and then the stove didn't fit. Waited a week to have the cabinets moved so the stove could be installed. There was a dumpster in front of the house so only one pod could be delivered. Move in was delayed. Dirt everywhere. Driveway and stairs were not cleaned so the movers had to walk over moving pads and still tracked mud all over the brand new house which Lennar had to have cleaned later. Sprinkler system and landscaping could not be completed because the backflow pipe for the irrigation system was buried behind the stone work. Construction debris under the back porch still hasn't been removed. Loose railing, crooked pendant lights, paint overspray in many places. Several doors needed to be adjusted to close correctly. Opened at least 20 warranty tickets already. Most cosmetic repairs are shoddy and noticeable. Interior paint appears to be one thin coat of cheap paint throughout the house. Zero guidance on smart home connectivity. Ring doorbell installed incorrectly and box was not provided so we cannot pair doorbell to app. Complained about this a dozen timesand still not rectified. Stove vent had to he repaired. Furnace had a water leak that needed to be fixed. Various rods and brackets were missing throughout the house. Washing machine drain cap was painted shut. Every neighbor has similar stories and worse. ... More

Not a good experience with the Townhome bought. No Responsiveness from Construction Manager and Comparatively(2016 was a Lennar customer) quality is not good. Very bad experience this time with Lennar and its crew(Construction Manager/Sales consultant) very poor responsiveness and responsibility. Poor quality of construction. Several issues pending to be addressed post closing and negligence from Lennar in not fixing them. Would not like to get into nitty gritty but very very bad experience.

It was a pretty tough experience. Our sales girl quit in the middle of building. Bounced around to a couple others that didn't help much before being handled by the manager. First walk through was scheduled when work wasn't complete yet. Final walk through when there was still workers working on the house. Was promised issues we found would be taken care of. Here we are a month and half later and we still have tape on our walls from the walk through that haven't been addressed. Even add ins we paid for in the contract weren't done. Crooked walls and bad drywall in multiple places and the 2nd story floor is very uneven after pointed out multiple times during the build. Lennar has some stepping up to do to make this experience right. ... More

The initial walk through was a disaster. Scheduling was received from Lennar and the salesman. After waiting close to an hour the sales office was contacted and someone came and said it wasn't on their schedule and they didn't have time. It was rescheduled and all the problems were not listed. Receiving the C/O was a couple weeks experience. It is very difficult to find who to contact for problems: for example. frost killed bushes in a villa's yard. The layout is nice, but getting attention to the problems is difficult. I still can't get the construction mess off the floors. The major problems are being addressed after a month. ... More

The sales assistant Sue, the Lennar mortgage representative Nicole and the foreman Tom the were excellent to work with. The sales representative however never responded to our questions after the papers were signed unless he needed something. I am not sure if this is Lennar’s sales process or if it was our sales representative. Either way the process needs to be looked at.

First weekend we moved in the builder supplied en-suite washer leaked causing water damage that was exacerbated by the fact that their customer service rep doesn’t check messages after hours or on weekends. The floor got ripped up by the water remediation company and a month later has not been repaired. Lennar does not care about you after you close. Horrible company.

while i love our new home, i do see some quality issues that seemed to have been missed. we will address at our 1yr walk through. however it would feel better had the majority of these been addressed prior to move in. as of now nothing too major, but attention to detail says a lot about ones craft, and they seem to have been lacking in some aspects. more so cosmetic, the "smart home" set up has been difficult, and why not install all of the ring functions they leave you with?? like i said small things that can be fixed, just not something you want to deal with after an EXPENSIVE purchase and moving in etc ...

Not having permits for water was uncalled for. Blaming everyone else made it worse. We wanted minor changes we were offered to pay for and sign a contract for(moving outside spigots and additional shelving in closet- both prior to their installation- and told no. Communications were “we don’t know” on every aspect. Now that almost all houses are sold there is mud in the streets, unfinished sidewalks, major common areas just mud, trash on the bridge at the entrance, etc. not impressed with Lennar.

My new home was delivered unfinished. No follow-up on when things will get fixed. To name a few issues of MANY, my kitchen is unfinished, closet doors were not painted correctly, all doors are damaged, concrete floors in porch and patio are ruined, and after closing, we found out there is no infrastructure for the internet (we live in a "connected ultra wifi community."

Waste of money pay too dollars and the house is built with the cheapest materials. Sales people have no interest after ur contract is signed don’t even make sure you have everything that is supposed to come with your home. Just horrible.

Initially assigned loan officer is not cooperative. Because of him I was not able to lock the interest rate when it is low. Later I fight to assign other loan officer but by the time interest rates went up.

The overall home buying experience was not good. The construction manager was the absolute worse. The quality of the home is very cheap and already falling apart. I will never purchase or recommend a Lennar Home to anyone.

Lacking quality and control. Customer care is a nightmare. Please don’t close unless all issues are addressed

Inspect your home thoroughly before closing! Workmanship issues may not be covered under their very lmiited warranty.

I've talked with my new neighbors and we all agree that Lennar has the best home designs. Lennar floorplans and communities work really well for modern family life. They are in great locations with clever designs, efficient use of space, and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, that's the only positive part of the experience. The sales and post sales experience is terrible suffering from a complete lack of communication, constant errors (or lies?), and a lack of follow through. A lot of the information on the website has a legal disclaimer because in the end, it turns out to be inaccurate. Everyone at Lennar blames their boss as the reason they can't do something. I do think there are some great people who work there, but they, too are frustrated by their inability to help customers and just give up. Eventually, you call, email, text, track down, and harass enough people around that they will answer your question or address your concern (or all the claims they make constantly about how they will fix/repair/replace something as part of their warranty). This started from the moment Lennar had my deposit through the still lingering issues in my new home. One of the workers told me they install faulty appliances all the time because what's most important to Lennar is staying on schedule. That would explain a lot of the process and why so many things *look* done, but aren't. Make sure you document everything and have a good lawyer to advise you through the sales process. When you do your home walk through, check EVERYTHING (all the random paint on door and bathroom hardware, all the ethernet ports, all the appliances, pooling/leaking in the showers, all the plugs, all the included smart devices, all the doors and windows so they don't leak water, etc. all of which had issues in my or my neighbors place). I would encourage you to knock on the doors and ask residents at Rancho Mission Viejo in the Lennar properties how they feel about Lennar. I have yet to find someone who's happy with their experience. The home? Yes. But not the home buying experience. ... More

Many issues with the home noted at or soon after move-in. Despite promises, some remain unresolved. Both warranty rep and construction manager do not responbd when contacted for assistance
