My experience has not been the best from the beginning. The telephone tree kind of communication with the site manager and sales person in not getting the message right. I can go into details about how hard it was to talk to Chandra. Then the mortgage officer rarely listen to us and the constant missed opportunities of communicating on what was needed and not needed. The back and forward was confusing. Then I lost my VA opportunity in buying this home. That was just the beginning part of my his. Please call to find out more

Workmanship in every aspect poor quality. Poor response to the issues of the house before closing and after. Damage appliances were place in the house which Lennar has not taken care of. Exterior damage to appliances Frigidaire will not cover under the warranty

  • Hemet, CA

Overall it was a great Experience!! There was little issues when we 1st moved in, but that’s the nice part of having a new place with warranty, then buying as is. Lennar came out and fixed the issue and with any other issues, they are still coming out to check and fix issues . With that a HUGE shout out to Rudy! And another reason for the 5 star on trustworthy! When they say they’re gonna come out to help or fix …. You can trust him!!! A true professional!! For the price, it was good but of course, everyone would say would be nice if it was cheaper lol. Thanks again Lennar for the ...

Buyer BEWARE

Do not close on your home until everything on your punch list is completed. Hire a home inspector. We have had roof leaks, electrical issues with entire rooms, cabinets not completed (we are looking at months before this is done). We have entire doors that needed rehung, tile needed to be replaced and properly installed. We've had one of our bathrooms plumbing completely installed incorrectly. (COLD was HOT and HOT was COLD). When friends and family ask me about Lennar homes, I stir them away. I've bought several homes and never had these many issues with a new home. I bought a 20-year-old ...

Once Lennar has your money, they are terrible with follow through on punch list items and anything else spotted after closing to do the proper repairs. Have to chase them and argue non-stop. Make sure not to close on your home until all issues are resolved beforehand!

  • Joshua O.

  • Lutz, FL

Was really excited to buy my first home and everything seemed great at the beginning. That was about the only good experience. From the buying experience, to the build, to the close, everything was a nightmare and I would never recommend Lennar to my worst enemy. The title office called me as I was on the way to close telling me I owed more money, literally as I was driving there after being told multiple times I owed nothing more. "Glitch" in their system was the excuse. The house was unfinished when I moved in, and is still unfinished. Almost all of my kitchen cabinets are broken or ...

Every step of the buying process was smooth with Lennar. This is our first home in a new community and every step of the process was seamless. Our project manager, Ian, was very knowledgeable and paid great attention to detail. We also worked with Adam for our walk throughs and he was very thorough and a pleasure to work with. Working with Lennar as our lender was the easiest process we have ever had. Lennar has thought of everything from start to finish. I highly recommend buying one of these beautiful homes.

Never buy from Lennar again

  • Bao P.
  • Verified Homebuyer

  • Rosharon, TX

The worst experience of my life buying home from Lennar. Bad salesman from start to finish with little to no help , construction manager cheating and treat you like a kid, paint finish crack and final walk have to delay because no one did it from the first walk , after they touch up move in the paint dry and show crack again leaving the buyer stuck . Never never buy from Lennar

Overall quality good. More punch list items than expected, most minor, however one is considerable, will require cutting up master shower tile floor to pitch draining correctly, pitch off more than an inch from one end to the other. In 2013. I also had a new home built by Lennar, quality and responsiveness was better. That experience in 2013 was what lead me to stay with Lennar. The current sale rep, Moe Lee is excellent and very responsive. The mortgage team was fantastic. The only area of concern was with the overall quality of the contractor workmanship. I am currently going through the ...

Bad experience with stuart and the Ivan (Customer rep). This is regarding the dent on the refrigerator. David inspected (Sep 20th) the house before we moved in. And found there is a big dent to the refrigerator and he contacted the respective team to replace it with a new one. Seems they agreed for a replacement (I don't know who he contacted). Till now no one contacted me for a replacement. It's been months and no one contacted me on this. I was not expecting this kind of service from Lennar. I was emailing Ivan and Donald (director of customer care). Still there is no response till ...

From start to finish everyone associated with Lennar was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. From my first call to inquire about the property until final walk thru we were kept informed on a bi-weekly basis how construction was coming along which was extremely important as we were in NJ. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new well built home.

Homes that frustrate

  • Danny G.

  • January 10, 2023
  • Shafter, CA

Being that we spent over half a million. Things felt rushed. Materials used were cheap. Lots of mess ups that after we move in aren’t covered. Bathroom shower tile is horrible. Master shower casing is losing its color. When you do a walk through and only thing you hear is I have another appointment I have another appointment we got x amount of time left. Process was just the worse. Still don’t have proper doors and other main fixtures for the house. Nightmare! For the amount of money this should of been a non rushed professional set up process. Instead it was I got get my numbers process
