Lennar Reviews

Watch out for the quality of the build. Look at a finished home other than the models.

Terrible customer service! Pressure to close on home when not ready. Told us to move form 4 states away that it was ready to move in. It was still rough, not finished. Had to live in hotel for a couple of weeks after closing. Poor responsiveness from managers. Shabby finish work. I will never buy from Lennar again and will do my very best to warn future customers.

A great team and great communication.

We have been left with numerous issues since the day of closing and it has been a month and a half of poor communication and constant follow up to try to get them resolved. From the poor finish work, incomplete work and lack of cleanup, it is clear that corners were cut to make the closing date set by Lennar. There were a few items that should have prevented it from even passing inspection. Along with finish work problems like paint, we have poorly caulked windows and a roof which had torn and damaged shingles. We had been told that Lennar was one of the best builders around. From our experience, and those of other recent Lennar home buyers we have talked to, that is no longer the case. They seem to be more focused on the number of homes closed on per month than they are on actual quality or customer service. We'd certainly love some screens. We've been told there is an issue with the supplier. Homes around us that are under construction have screens already in place. Just a screen door from Home Depot would be great. Anything to allow us to get some fresh air in the house. The focus seems to be on getting those houses finished for sale rather than looking after those which are already occupied. Overall, I believe that Lennar has changed their focus from a quality product to increased sales. I wish we had the home we were looking forward to owning with the experience we were expecting. ...

Lot of issues: NO Heat Pump until after 2 months of closing. No proper customer support, Negligence in responding to queries. No Extra laminate tiles given Backyard sliding door is broken within a month. Issues with price paid. Bad /un acceptable appraisal report provided for the home. I need to escalate this however the customer reps are very hesitant to do that because of the issue on the builder side.

So much wrong with our new build it is crazy and after speaking with neighbors in the community several others are having similar issues with the quality of work and issues on their homes. Had I known I would have never bought with Lennar and will not buy a home in future from this builder nor recommend them. Our home was also delayed a month on closing and issues we wanted fixed still were not done and more issues were found upon moving in. Towel wall rack fell out of the wall, tile in bathroom needs to be redone in shower, insulation left out of walls upstairs, baseboards and trim cut too short, not caulked properly, closet doors damaged, sliding doors uneven to patio area and rain leaks into the door, stairs had a gap and had to be fixed, window marble was broken off, landscaping dead and uneven in backyard can’t put a fence up until it is made level, tile in dining room uneven and needs to be fixed, kitchen cabinets were diff than what we saw in the riverview area, cabinet handles uneven and doors discolored, the vent was sealed shut to our dryer on outside of home so it was heating up like it was going to catch fire and had to be fixed, doors damaged, driveway area damaged, garage doors has several spacing where u can see light coming through and panels need to be replaced, weather stripping missing completely from one side of garage door, carpets were not clean after workers in home and left paint and druysall in carpet as well as nails and screws, holes in the drywall in the closets, and many more things too many to name. Horrible for a new home build and selling homes at such high prices for cheap workmanship and quality of home. Very disappointed in Lennar. ... More

I really hate to speak poorly of any company but I do wish that someone has warned me about Lennar. They are a big company building lots of houses and it’s easy to get lost. They have lots of small divisions each of which own an element of your selling/building/closing experience. It was really hard to know who to call for what or how to get updates (we lived out of state). The final walk through and resolution of outstanding issues was terrible! I can’t recommend them in good conscience.

Lennar’s selling process was well organized and pretty painless. Their online portal is great. While our house was delayed by 6 months that’s not entirely their fault. Charging US for 5 days of delay while we completed our home appraisal process after waiting 6 months for Lennar seems a bit unfair, regardless of the clause on the contract. Real disappointment was the quality of workmanship in paint, cabinets…pretty low-end.

We are happy with our new home but the quality it is in the lower end for a new build. Thy need to do a much better work during their internal QC process or selecting contractors. Found several issues after moving in and we eventually had to get an external inspector. Zero attention to detail. Still haven't found a single window frame that it is properly level in the house. Silver lining is that they provide a one year warranty and the customer service rep for my community is doing an excellent job helping us solving them.

Had to place best and final bid offer for home. You'll never know if you overbid or not. No customizing your new build, which is not what was communicated to us until it was too late (would have to give up deposit). They rush you to make your deposits and closing on your home, but are slow to respond when issues arise. They also don't give you timelines on how your home is progressing in the building phase. Not sure I would recommend them at this time. This makes me think twice about buying a new construction home in the future.

Do not close on your property until you are happy with the job, the punchlist does not necessarily matter after you close. We are presently 7 weeks after closing and still do not have a functional pool. Lennar was in a rush to close for their fiscal monthly/quarterly numbers. New home consultant disappeared after closing with no replacement figure given. No messages answered or returned after closing, although project manager Trevor has been very helpful. Some of the problems on the punchlist that were supposed to be taken care of before closing are slowly being addressed, but I had to present them via the customer service portal. Also, date and time of the walkthrough prior to closing was scheduled by Lennar and when I requested a different date was refused. After I purchased an airline ticket and flew to Florida for the walkthrough, the NHC called and asked me to postpone as the house was not ready to be seen. This is not all and needless to say, it was not a good experience. ... More

Everyone I worked with at Lennar was great. The new home consultant Eric, the loan officers Raphael and Janet and the closing coordinator Yahaira all treated me as a valued client and were always there to answer questions. And Masen saved the day by finding me some extra tiles. All in all a very good experience.

Construction Mgr. is veer helpful and responsive. Workmanship of trade personnel leaves much to be desired. Pay VERY little attention to the results of their workmanship.

We closed on our home on August 30,2022. We expected it to be ready to move into when we arrived. There were about 27 items not finished, some big and there was no certificate of occupancy. Arthur set us up in a condo on the property for 4 nights until we could move in. The personnel we worked with were great to get it finished; however, the subcontractors were slow to respond while some materials were hard to get according to the construction managers. There are still 9 unfinished items to complete and it is October 19, 2022—49 days from closing. Lennar corporate should not allow any closings to occur until all items are complete. Now we are working with the warranty department to get things done. The home is good quality, but completion is a big problem. We love the home, but it has been very stressful. ... More

Build quality is too poor.Flooring is pathetic,Vinyl planks are coming out already just in one month.

Very displeased with process and home. Lending process was the worst I have ever been through, the home did not meet expectations. Mail box wasn’t ready to accept mail until 6 weeks after closing.

The model home (McGinnis) and our builder rep (Suzette) brought my wife and i to grow fond of Lennar. We had a great first impression however, soon after little things start to make one see it’s not that great. The process and stages of building the home are subpar at best. The trades are awful. Lennar’s business model is flawed. To allow a customer to watch and entire house built from the ground up and not allow them to meet their general contractor to discuss building issues is a complete lack of care for any customer relations. Lennar’s idea is to tell your builder rep (who isn’t up to speed on building processes as a GC would be) and then have the builder rep tell the GC. This causes delays in communication and issues with a trade does not get corrected before the next phase. The amount of excuses one can give to obvious mishaps is blatant lack of care. Only when the customer has to contact the county permit department or one has to stress their voice does something get corrected. Don’t believe when they tell you they will fix your walk through check list when you close because then you become a priority to management. That’s crap. We have been in our home for 2 months and we still don’t have blinds in our living room, our exterior paint is still not corrected. Our driveway pavers have not been corrected (the excuse one GC gave is laughable at best). The shady work that goes on by trades is ridiculous and one must constantly check the work and make it known when the work is not suffice. A home which costs over $600k should have a GC who has the time to make sure the trades are doing the job correctly. Lennar’s business model does not allow this to happen. Our builder rep was very nice and helpful as much as she could be. At times, the communication is delayed and not acceptable. She does care about her customers and does help with issues can however, the GC needs to be more involved with the home process and not the builder rep. I feel Lennar could handle the building process better as it relates to customer oriented communication. It’s quite evident once a home is closed Lennar distances themselves and having issues fixed (which were supposed to be fixed prior to closing) becomes daunting. ... More

There were a lot of things on our warranty list that had to be completed and has not been completed yet. Some of the outside stucco work looks shabby. The yards are not designed to be wheelchair accessible. Wood chips right next to driveway is messy and you can't get get out your car without stepping on them and spreading them on the driveway. It is not a good front yard design. My husband just recently found out he may have to use a wheelchair we can't get his wheelchair out or walker on a smooth surface when he first get out the car. The driveway is so small that his wheelchair or walker can get between the cars and there is no other smoothe surface leading up to the frobt door.. ... More

It was a really bad experience buying and doing the walk through of the house . House was not properly finished. Still pending a lot of things to be complete. Never answer phone calls or emails. They are in the business of making money and they are rushing the process and cutting corners. Complicating and making it worse for the homeowners

The home is still incomplete, my exceptions list is still open, and it's been over a month and a half since I closed. It feels like the warranty period is really there so Lennar can finish the house. I have a dip in my floor and was told it's within tolerance so there's nothing they can do. There have been issues with paint, concrete, baseboards, and more just to name a few. Let's just say I'm disappointed with who I thought was ranked Las Vegas's number 1 homebuilder.

Home Buying with Lennar was good, their sales agents were always there when required. Since i was not a localite to the place i bought i had to rely on Lennar sales agents for my home. There are few things that could have been done better when it comes to materials and the way the appliances are put in, also since it was my first home i expected the sales agent to explain what are the postivies atleast to me to make sure i am not missing anything in my home.

several items in the home were breakable, poor quality of material, wirers were hooked together wrong, floors in upstairs bedroom make squeaky noises, poor!

Just make sure when you do your final walk thru, you have an extra person with a good eye to catch the imperfections that you do not see.

We paid through the roof with a almost 6% interest rate for screens that are too small, glue on floors, carpet padding missing in some spots, toilet shoots out water when we flush, not all window sills were painted. They used cheap chalk paint to paint. Honestly this house is not worth what we paid. Not to mention I can’t do anything or it will void my warranty so when I call the builders they are never available. Second Lennar home and Incredibly disappointed. I will never have a build with them again.

Still waiting for plenty of work to be done that is supposed to be under warranty. We closed on our home on Aug.29th,2022, and still not 1 issue has been taken care of. I will not be promoting Lennar to any of my family or friends. Under responses to issues it wouldn't let me leave zero stars so i had to put 1.
