Lennar Reviews

I liked the representative. She went above and beyond to help us and make us happy but when it came to the construction it was finish quick and we will fix it once we close on the house. I have been having major problems with the subfloor (it creaks). This is NOT my first home that I have built and for someone to tell me all homes creak, yes they do, OLD HOMES not brand new construction homes. Then, there is the issue with the sheetrock. It is beginning to bulge out, again all these issues are things that shouldn't be happening within 2 months of living there. On the contrary to the construction, their customer service is excellent. They come and fix what is wrong within a weeks time. Overall, I love my home. ... More

LOVE my house and location but once I closed - crickets! I’ve had to request mailbox keys and how to pay HOA dues. No one ever welcomed me to the community let alone see if I had any questions after moving in. “Fully Connected” and “easy DIY” are a joke. Most new homeowners I’ve asked are NOT connected to their devices because they can’t figure out how to set them up. Lennar takes your money but then, you’re on your own!

Lennar construction team did good job in delivering home on time but there were some issues with windows, stairs, drywall and more. Good thing is construction manager Jim is so good and responsive, he made sure most of my issues were resolved. We’re not happy with sales team. Our sales manager Brighid didn’t provide proper updates about house construction or open issues within the house. Also she wasn’t there during closing formalities neither contacted us before or after closing.

We signed for new construction in mid April 2021...we're given a tentative closing estimate of 10/31/21 to 11/14/21. Then, after obtaining permit approvals in late May...the delays started...ground was not broken on our house until September. So a 4 month delay. Covid was said to be the reason for all delays. Understandable at 1st. Then we saw homes signed for "after ours" closing in Sept...Nov and Dec. Covid did not prevent some homes from moving forward to close. It seemed to my wife and I that the original CMs had forgotten about us and it was very, very frustrating. In October, we connected with a "new CM", Mike. The meeting was initiated by our wonderful salesperson, Susan. Mike had arrived in Trinity Lakes to help push builds forward and he did help to expedite the build on our house. We were very appreciative of his efforts. Our salesperson had been communicating with the previous CMs every week and provided status updates, which we very much appreciated also. But, in my opinion the initial CMs did not follow a "first to sign" protocol regarding priority in home builds. All that said, a second CM, Kyle, was later assigned to work with Mike and together they completed our home in late February. They provided us with a top quality construction build!! So what is the old saying "Anything worth having is worth waiting for"? Irregardless of all our woes...we love the home and community, beautiful, peaceful countryside and gorgeous sunsets over the lake! Even with the delays...10 1/2 months after first signing...I would still highly recommend Lennar for the top quality product! ... More

Everything about the exterior is amazing. The inside quality was rushed. The painting, caulking, lighting, and details were all very poorly done. If they did not rush to get it done the house would be perfect. The craftsmanship just went out the door because of the rush for whatever reason.

Notified less than 5 days before closing that move-in was would be delayed due to cabinetry not available. This notification came after I resigned from my job, sold my home in Atlanta, and just before the drive to relocate to Florida. I stayed in a hotel for 3 weeks until unit was ready for move-in. Lennar did take care of the costs.

can provide more quality based homes. Once the house is signed, we need to take care of all the issues. Quality of house is not that much appreciated. When I put up same question, they mentioned its human build and mistakes will happen, which was not expected. Final inspection should be done by team and identify issues and close it before customer do it.

Like any other home, I imagine there were small problems that would pop up but were generally quickly handled by Lennar. The sinks in the home all around are absolutely terrible. None are designed to drain food and water. They are mostly flat and therefore don't drain very well. The kitchen sink particularly would have been better off with a 2 basin sink that actually allowed itmes to flow downward and drain.

Be aware of the Move in Ready line. our house was not clean, the yard is 2 different types of sod, there were plumbing and electrical issues with the house that took 30 days to get corrected. I feel the corporation was in a rush to close and overlooked many quality issues. We will not buy another Lennar Home.

Construction manager was very responsive to our questions, post closing. Suggestion: at closing, all incomplete work documented and signed by Lennar rep. And buyers as done by GL homes. This would alleviate buyer anxiety.

I found the construction manager and the followup great. The sales people were also very responsive and helpful. The overall construction was less than I expected for the price that I paid...ie the backyard requires more fill in order to stabilize the patio, the bathroom window is clear and look directly out on a neighbors entry, the grouting was very poorly done in many areas.

I wish communication with sales agent was easier. On several occasions, we had to initiate communication. Even if sales agent doesnt have answers, Im ok with that - but that needs to be communicated.

Customer service on the builder side was seriously lacking. I expected it to take longer than estimated to build, but the roadmap was unclear and timeline changed so many times and took twice as long as the original estimate for close. My issue was really with how unclear the process was in terms of next steps and the timeline of what was needed from me. For a company that has all of the parts of the process able to be managed by Lennar businesses I had hoped they’re communication between building and lending for example would have been better. Overall, would I do it again? Maybe but not in this market- not even because of price or delayed closing but because of service along the way. ... More

It's been nearly impossible to find an affordable home. I was relieved to find a new home in a new community. The house is designed well. With that said, the community has been largely built in the absence of an adequate infrastructure. Power goes out regularly. The community ammeneties are still not complete. Contractors are leaving footprints in the concrete and there seems to be no oversight into quality control in a number of areas. Construction sites are littered with bottles and cans and storm sewers are filled with garbage in construction areas. With that said, it is easy to report issues and Lennar sends people out to correct problems in a timely manner. ... More

The sales guy I dealt with was not 100% honest about things that would be included in the home. We noticed a lot of things that needed to be done during the walk through that was done afterwards. There was a lot more things that were not done or were not done the way they were supposed to be done, because the construction manager was not available during the completion of my home and because this is my first home I wasn’t aware of everything I needed to be looking for. Their responsiveness to fix everything in a timely manner I was grateful for.

Shoddy workmanship, they shouldn't use the phrase "Everything's included" anymore - it isn't. No cabinet pulls anywhere in the home. Blinds in privacy rooms only (we had both in our previous homes - blinds throughout, cabinet pulls, nicer appliances, a clean ready to move in home, engineered wood floors, and quartz countertops in the bathrooms - not laminate). House was NOT ready for move in, construction dust everywhere, paint drips all over the floor and carpeted rooms (aren't you supposed to paint before you put the carpet in?), the decorative brick outside the house was falling off in places, outside trim not finished on one of the windows and not painted in several places, hinge pins missing on some of the doors, grout work missing in bathroom, downspout not connected to gutter drain in the middle of winter, cabinet doors improperly installed, back porch slider door was improperly installed. PVC pipes in the basement are jerryrigged to drip into a drain in the middle of the floor. Wow - it looks like someone's DIY job. After 2 really great experiences with Lennar, this home was a disappointment. ... More

Alina was outstanding helping us pick out just the right home. She was available to help with issues after the sale.

Been a lot of issues with the house but the Lennar warranty people get on it quick.

communication was poor until the end and others got involved from lennar and got involved and we worked thru the issues

(2) Disappointing Surprises: A) Master Bath Vanity: Master Bath in the Model had 4 drawers; whereas our Vanity only has 2 drawers...increasing dead space on either side of the sink .We were never appraised of this change. When approaching Lennar, no one could identify a solution (sales, operations, construction)..."this not my responsibility" was response received. B) Location of Outdoor Covered Parking Spot: We purchased our Unit on the Top floor of our building ($)... with the expectation our spot would be somewhere in the 1st row nearest the building. We are in Bldg #5...all the other 4 completed buildings all have 2 rows of parking. We find that our spot is not in 1st row or even the 2nd row; rather we are in a newly created 3rd row nowhere near the building entrance....& directly adjacent to the Waste Mgt. dumpsters. Once again, same response " (no matter who I approached) "...I have nothing to do with that" ... More

better than some other builders but not the best!

The home is good. A few issues that I can correct. The staff that were my main contacts were great. Some staff late in the closing process were not helpful.

Except for the level-headed and well-mannered Lennar’s coordinator (Taylor), our experience could have been permanently stored in the freezer. She was honest, trustworthy, and thoroughly well-skilled in dealing with customers’ frustration. Delay, delay, and delay typified the buying process. The signing of the contract was postponed several times to take advantage of the escalating price. But we signed one in February of 2021 with a potential closing date of June. Then, the date moved to July, August and then in September no light could be seen at the end of the tunnel. In fact, we were offered the chance to collect our deposit. Unfortunately, that was not a viable option as we were out of the country for months. Well, the prolonged delay was blamed on lack of building material particularly windows. As the delay continued, Taylor was in contact with us through facetime/zoom. She gave us regular updates and smoothened the rough edges. She was fantastic, but there was nothing she could do on her own. The big guys smoking espresso coffee in their glass offices often made the calls! Finally, we closed on November 16th, 2021, after incurring over $8000.00 in additional temporary rent and storage fees for our belonging. No space to describe the horrors and expenses of moving our belongings coast to coast due to the extended delay in closing our home. As to the quality of the workmanship, it is below average. Too many unfished items [ drywall, painting, missing light covers, loose vent hood,…] before closing. Of course, the contract was written to favor the builder. Having lived in the house for about two months, other problems have popped up. The fireplace is completely dead! The fireplace technician visited us twice. The first time, he got the flame to work, but all yellow, no blue. The second time, he struggled for one hour and literarily killed the fireplace, not even the pilot will light. The Frigidaire dishwasher is also broken. We actually narrowly escaped fire from inside the dishwasher. Lennar’s “all-included” could be fantastic if and only if attention was paid to details: 1. Home-Theater room has zero wiring. It is just a bare room. Not even a TV outlet. It should not be advertised as “home theater” 2. No HDMI outlet above the fireplace, but a closed pipe was run to it with no instruction. It was left for the homeowner to explore and detect. 3. Master bathroom should have been well-lighted even with as tiny as a 12” x 12” window. 4. No phone outlet in the main office and when pointed out, Lennar claimed it was by design. 5. Lots of rough surfaces on the drywalls. 6. The quality of the glass windows is very poor. Too much noise from all sides. 7. Painting work is horrible. Lots of bubbles on the door frames and walls 8. Poor Design work: With a 3547 sq ft. home, one would expect not to be choked in the laundry room, and master bathroom. Too much non-functional space left behind. 9. A portion of the garage was not covered with drywall 10. Hooking up to Ruckus -a wireless extension was tedious and challenging, with no clear instructions. 11. Bathroom mirrors are not framed [bare glass] 12. The drainage pipe from the roof was poorly designed and could lead to the front of the house being flooded. A small tiny French dry well could help. 13. The 2” sharp floor elevation as you enter the garage is a treacherous trap for elderly people like us. Is that a city requirement or design flaw? Overall, too much quality was compromised to minimize cost. Response to Issues: Excellent. We are very pleased with the timely response to all the issues with have raised. Ryan, our customer service coordinator is excellent. We sincerely appreciate his efforts. Overall, and considering the disruption by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are tolerant of many of the issues mentioned above. But we are sincerely hoping that no major problems will pop up. ... More

Nice house, but the process to close was tedious and the final build of the house was not according to the plans we were initially given.

The closing date kept moving more times than it should have. One time it was moved 24 hours prior to our third closing date. This was due to delays by construction. When we finally got a new home walk through the house was in no condition to be viewed. There were people still working on the home. Toilets were still being installed as we were inspecting the home. No appliances were installed, no gas meter, no sprinkler, no sod and no fence, painting not complete to name a few. It was extremely disappointing.
