Lennar Reviews

Though the process was relatively quick the communication throughout the entire process needs work. I did have a third party inspection on my home and thankfully it was mostly cosmetic issues but there was a lot of sloppy work done on the home and some of it had to be redone prior to closing. The concrete driveway and sidewalks are sub-par and very sloppily done. They did a bad patch job where they chipped the concrete when removing the forms. They left bits of concrete on the sidewalks and curbs and it looks like a very sloppy job. The entire neighborhood looks this way. Also, when I was finally given my keys and went to my home as a homeowner for the first time there was trash and debris in my yard. There were nails, dried mud and debris in my driveway and the approach to my driveway. When I asked the salesman if they were going to clean it up he told me probably not so I had to do it myself to prevent me or my guests from getting nails in our tires. This was completely unacceptable in my opinion. I would recommend any new home buyer to get a third party inspection prior to purchasing your home. Lennar builders put these homes up quickly and do not concentrate on the quality of work only the quantity, in other words get it done as fast as you can no matter what and hopefully no one will notice. ...

Very good but not perfect

The buying experience was easy

We love our home but but the lender experience was terrible. It is too much to write, but they weren’t prepared with our paperwork at closing and we had to reschedule the closing to another day after sitting at the closing table for 2 hours. It was ridiculous.

We purchased our first home with Lennar and our sales agent Cathy was awesome! We love our home and the builder's responsiveness has been great. However, the quality of the materials is not the best. The workers mishandled a lot of the materials used and went to extreme lengths to hide the damage, but as I started cleaning, it became visible that these items should have been replaced.

My name is Luis, I can say that the salesperson who convince me to purchase the home was great. But the builder teams are awful, they don’t know respond to complaints in an appropriate way. In my case I’ve been complaining about my yard that has a fifthteen foot long and four inches deep water puddle (mud) for a month now. And I only been living the house for six week. I can’t even get no internet connection because the construction next door ripped out all the wiring. These are some situations I’ve been dealing with or trying to get fixed and all I receive it’s a roll over if I have luck and somebody answers me. I just hope this can improve. ... More

Not sure but having super difficulty with new home issues and resolution timeframe by lennar team.

We closed on our home in November at the National in Ave Maria. Our final walk-through was scheduled with Stephen virtually as we are from out of Country and couldn't be in town on the closing date. We lost connection part way through the call so had decided via a phone conversation that we would do the walk-through in person after the closing when we were going to be in town. Almost 2 months later and still no walk-thru. We left multiple messages for Stephen that were left unanswered. We were told by our sales representative that he was coming by on a specific date and he was a no-show. Disappointing to say the least but we are happy with our new home. ... More

So we just bought our first single family home. Good things- they stuck to time line and pretty much completed the projected on estimated time provided. The mortgage process was fairly seemless till closing without much surprises. Bad: we were not allowed any choice whatsoever, even the kitchen units were selected by their sales agent and we were told afterwards. Upon moving in there were construction stains on the flooring which was addressed on multiple occasions by their staff but they didn’t seem to have the correct equipments to clear them. Now with time and persistent cleaning by us, after a month or so these are almost gone. Overall we are pleased with the outcome though it’s not ideal. Construction quality is rather standard in most areas and substandard in a few. They didn’t put in any bathroom fixtures. Within one month we are seing continuous cracks along the walls/counter top edges on kitchen, around bathroom shower cabinets and bath tubs with some signs of small leak. Upon contacting customer service We are told that caulking is not including in their standard warranty and my home is setting. I am not entirely convinced by this explanation. Overall, it was an up and down experience buying Lennar home. Given the scarcity of available new homes we didn’t have much choice. I would probably rate the whole experience a 6/10. Ok for first time buy but wouldn’t spend over a certain amount with them. ... More

Home buying experience was ok. Our Mortgage Loan officer was Amazing and our job site Superintendent is amazing. However, the quality of this homes is cheap and with no taste at all. Materials are cheap, kitchen Granite is ugly, Master Shower is cheap and you don't get to choose any other details or make any changes to your own home. Appliances are cheap too. So you are paying $401K for $100K value home. Very sad!

Our experience with Lennar has been great. Always friendly and .professional, Any questions or concerns we had were addressed almost immediately once being contacted. We love our new home! Any questions or concerns were addressed almost immediately.

Unfortunately was not a good experience in the buy and all processes. I received my house with several problems and poor quality in the finish of the house, paint, wood etc

The builder does not have any kind of quality controls. One month after closing, we have experienced all kinds of plumbing and electrical issues, not to mention so many items not fixed since closing. The house is in a really bad shape, e.g. cracked window/bathtub/grout etc. considering the price tag. The service request is submitted through an online system. Once submitted, you will need to wait to schedule a remote discussion with a representative, who will then transfer the ticket, each step could take several days to weeks.

From the moment I met up with Cheryl, the salesperson, I was thrilled. Cheryl really listened to me and what I wanted in a new home. The communication was fabulous. When I met Dave after I signed to build my new home, Dave explained to me the building process and when I could expect certain aspects of the development. Every question I asked was addressed and taken care of. I have tremendous respect and admiration for Lennar Builders because of those people were here everyday to make sure that my home was completed on time and in such beautiful condition.

We love the community and the floorplan of our home. The workmanship and some materials could be better. Construction Manager was responsive to all our concerns and request.

The builder’s were amazing. They walked me through and made sure I understood every detail of the home from start to finish.

Sales department and building department are not aligned. Definitely have opportunities to improve

Community is very nice. House should Have lights in all rooms. Installing a fence is a horrible experience; Lennar should have system to get one in a timely, cost effective manner. Sale contracts are error riddled, impossible to understand, and so generic they have 50% not applicable. Have a contract for cash and another for financing.

Hi, This is my third lennar home, but my experience of buying of third lennar home was really bad that I would never buy another home from lennar. I had primary home and investment home from lennar prior to this...they were forcing me to close home with open drywalls and lot of work pending. Can you imagine closing home and some attorney coming to your home on Saturday evening 9PM to close home ? They forced me to do this although still pending items. They said If I dont close it today I will lose my 10% security deposit and my interest rate will go up even my rate lock doesn't expire another 1 month. They said Will address all the pending issues next week but It has been almost 7 weeks and no one responds it. Even when I raise warranty ticket 1 week ago still no response. Lennar was never like this before, otherwise I wouldnt buy my third home with them. But I am done with them. Its nightmare as a lennar customer now...never seen anything like this. If they continue to treat their customers like this and think get away they are making huge mistake. This could be the beginning the end of largest home builder. I hope management sees these issues and fix them before its too late. Again this is not just my experience so many people in that neighborhood complained the same thing. So you get the idea. If you are first time home buyer I would remove lennar home from your shopping list no matter how attractive their incentives and sale price compared to other builders. This is not the quality and home buying experience you want as a first time home buyer. Thank you, ... More

The only reason we continued with the contract is it's the only thing we could afford

Builder met our needs and we love our house.

Getting responses from departments that are supposed to rectify issues is next to impossible. Seven weeks after closing still have 20+ items remaining from punch list.

I worked with an outside real estate broker who was fantastic!

Melinda (Lennar consultant) made the selection of model and contract experience very easy. Bobby and Josh (my before and after contacts) were always listening and did what they said they would do. Made it very easy to go thru the building experience. After the purchase, Gonzo installed upgrades for me. very reliable and affordable. Very satisfied with experience and finished product.

From day one, you're on your own! NHCs are worthless. Male construction manager won't talk to you and ignores emails. Responsiveness is slim to none. Too many mistakes were made, and when you point them out, they get mad and ignore you even more. The only time you hear from Lennar is when they want money. Otherwise, you remain in limbo for the duration of construction. The most unfriendly builder (except for one concierge) in NV, and I've dealt with several over the last 30+ years. If not for the floor plan and location, I would have cancelled my contract and walked away. If you don't care about communication or workmanship, and plan to stay silent the entire time, they you'll be fine. If not, just know that you'll have to be your advocate by keeping an eye on things on a weekly basis, especially towards the end. And know that there are NO options. The entire experience was extremely frustrating and disheartening, especially for the price that you pay...and never know what's going on. ... More
