Lennar Reviews

It takes one bad apple… Overall, I think Lennar is a good builder. Craftmanship/workmanship and material are least to be desired. Sales is good. Finance portion, amazing. Closing process, amazing. Warranty, so far so good (but not perfect). The foreman, I never met in person, let me just say I am glad I did not - one phone conversation is all the disrespect that I can take as home buyer.

We HIGHLY recommend that you do NOT try and go with the insurance agency that Lennar recommend. Lennar Insurance Agency. They were rude, would not return texts or phone calls and would not insure us unless we paid for a full home inspection even though if was a brand new build and we found this out on the day that we closed. So We were without insurance for a few days because we had to find a local insurance agent (we are not from the area so we had NO idea where to get I insurance) We did enjoy working with our rep that sold us the house.

We bought a house is all I can say. The craftsmanship is not there. The Sheetrock and painting is the worst I’ve seen. The paint should be considered as primer and the house really needed painting. If this was my primary home, I would definitely be upset with the overall quality. All I can say is…..we bought a house and there’s nothing extravagant about it. I would definitely never use their mortgage and probably never consider their homes

I would love to give Lennar 5 stars but my experience over several months with “one bad apple” sales agent Monica left Such a bad taste. I hope that if you chose to Buy Lennar you have a better sales experience because once you get to work with builder Justin and Tom they give you a 5 star experience. Quality should be their last names.

The workers hired to build the home were not craftsman. I've been around master carpenters and furniture makers all of my life and they would not have hired the workers that built my new home. The finish work is disappointing.

Lennar forced us to close during a hurricane. The home wasn’t finished and their own punch lists were not completed. Rush rush rush to meet theor month end quota.

It has been good so far thank you

Not a great experience

Poor quality of paint in the house. The paint was a definite rip-off. Missing some door stoppers. Oven door fell off on first use. AC system leaking water all over floor. Heating and AC system too close to master bedroom.

Nice Floor plan but the quality of the work is not worth the price. Every wall, every ceiling, every window is out of square. The list of repairs is long but so far Lennar is cooperating. They are just building too much too fast and it showa

I loved that Lennar was doing rate buy downs, it allowed us to move into our home. However, I didn't love the fact that we couldn't choose certain things about our house and that certain things weren't included and we had to do after purchasing the home. I don't particularly love our downstairs layout, I don't feel like there is enough pantry space, kitchen space, and some of the cabinets are shaped awkwardly. It also looks like the inside of the kitchen cabinets aren't really sturdy. IF you put something in the wrong way, the divider will fall. Not ideal. I feel like we could've been more involved during the building process. We only received like 3 calls throughout. Quality is honestly okay, things could've been done much better and better attention to detail was definitely needed. We had a gas leak the first day we were in there - huge problem as I was alone with my infant son. It was resolved that same day, but it shouldn't have happened if things were checked better before closing. One of the pipes on the furnace wasn't tight enough. Please pay better attention to the details and make sure you turn over a home that looks good and is good to live in. ... More

Just know that you have the best sales rep, Yvette and the best warranty/inspector Nicole. Lennar don't give you guys grace. You two did an amazing job.

Although may not deter from owning another Lennar home in the distant future but move-in experience after buying process did not go as well. Too many defects unnecessary deficiencies for a new home. Process of getting them corrected was transferred and had run smoother than it started.

Buying a home with Lennar was definitely exciting at first, but once I moved in, it wasn’t. The construction on their homes can be sloppy at times. They are building them too fast to check for simple mistakes. When buying a home be sure to have another home inspection completed before signing anything. Be sure to check for thing you would rarely look for (ceiling being leveled, paint missing on doors, neatness of caulk etc). Look for everything. Just don’t be fooled by the beauty of the home. Really look at what you’re purchasing. Even with many problems in the home, Lennar fixed everything I asked for. They went above and beyond to correct any home issues I found within my first 30 days. ... More

The house itself is very nice, the warranty response has been good to great. The actual buying process was.... frustrating. We were frequently told to sign paperwork affirming we'd recird documents we hadn't received, then promised we'd get them later ("it's just a formality"). When signing the initial purchase agreement we were supposed to receive the HOA covenants and bylaws, we did not get them and we're told we'd get them at closing. At closing I asked about them to be told, "no, we don't deal with thay at closing you should get them when you move in/the hoa contacts you." We still don't have them and it's been almost two months. Closing was all online, and then they tell you to drive somewhere else where they give you a manilla folder of keys and shunt you out the door in 5 minutes. Very impersonal once they've got your money. The closing cost credits were amazing and the house and Floorplan are great, and I'd recommend lennar to others, just that your expectations of interaction with lennar themselves should be tempered, people are nice, service is (mostly) good, but don't expect to feel special or valued or like you've got much of a personal connection with anyone other than your personal realtor. And Margaret. She was actually fantastic. ... More

I had a better experience with outside buys than with Lennar. I felt it was fine but wasn't great. I had higher expectations. I feel floor plan could have been better designed. They give zero options to modify anything. I feel their quality of features has decreased. They downgraded the materials they used in our neighborhood after few homes. They didn't include fridge anymore either. Also response time wasn't great for certain aspects of their mortgage and closing communication. Outside lenders, I had previously used had great communication and availability. I used lennar due to the closing incentives only. ... More

We bought a model home 7 years after it was constructed, so we did not work directly with builders. Our construction manager that we worked with was great and help advocate for repairs that the property manager otherwise refused. Overall responsiveness to questions and concerns could use some improvement. You could tell that the company was just ready to offload the property as quickly as they could.

Total lprocess was long and no much communication from sales representative. Deadline for the house was, 2 months late, home is built very sound but the fine craftsmanship details are not there. I love our house and community with all the issues being taken care of.

Lennar mortgage and their ability to buy back percentage points of interest is a only way I could have purchased a new condo.

We picked a Lennar home because after looking at all of the builders in our area (and there were a lot!) We loved that Lennar's homes include everything and have a more upgraded feel to them. However, since living in the home, we do feel the actual quality is lower than our last home we lived in. We've had multiple cracks in the baseboards, some little issues with the towel racks and faucets and just a handful of small things that are a bother considering how expensive homes are and considering we thought Lennar was the best after looking into many builders. The good news is, the warranty has been VERY good to work with! They are quick to respond and easy to work with. Super kind and considerate. I would rate the warranty and working with them a 10/10 for sure. ... More

The quality is okay. It’s what you expect from a large national builder. If they didn’t rush and paid attention to the construction up front, they could reduce or eliminate their warranty costs. There have been a lot of warranty work on our unit.

Before closing, get all help you need and ask questions about everything you want to know because if you call for help , they will tell you they can’t help you after closing. Having issue with my ring and Schlage no one available to help. Having issue with air conditioner

Seller told us that all houses came with a garage door opener. Nope. HVAC system was leaking the first two months, during weeks of 100+ degree heat. Buying process was a nightmare.

Very stressful experience with the loan process and asked to supply documents over and over making for a long process. Photos showed cabinets in laundry room but they don’t put them in. Poor communication with Lennar on everything.

I like my house and I'm happy with my purchase but it did come with some frustrations. First, just because the documentation says that something is included doesn't mean that it's included. I didn't get several smart home items that were supposed to be included but were not. I was told that the documentation was out of date. Second, the fit and finish of the house was rough. I used an entire roll of blue tape during my inspection. Third, whoever designed the HVAC system needs to be fired. A single unit for a three level house!?? My second story is never cool. Finally, Lennar mortgage commutation after closing is terrible. I was contacted by my new lending institution 2 weeks prior to Lennar sending out any notification that loan had been transferred. ...
