Lennar Reviews

Expected higher quality product and workmanship for price. Very difficult to get people back to fix things after closing.

My experience was ok but I believe there is some areas for improvement here .for example washer /dryer (included as part of the package) got installed abt 2 weeks after my closing. There was no instruction provided on how to activate or get access to the mail box . Had to speak to a neighbor to get the post office address and then initiated the request. Went through few iteration as post office needed deed. Lot of hassle and this could have been avoided if proper information was shared before hand off. I’d something included as part of package like washer/dryer it should done before closing that’s fundamental. Also, I feel after the contract is signed , the customer experience kind of deteriorates with no focus to make the experience better. Regards Raja ... More

I didn't realize how bad this really was but the concrete work and trim work I have seen in this house is some of the worse I have seen. Holes in the concrete were sloppily patched. There is sloppy touch caulk all over the base boards. I think it also would have been beneficial to offer at least blinds. A new house without any privacy until you get the time to install them is really annoying. This would have been a minor addition for a builder as big as Lennar.

The house was not cleaned when we got the keys, stains and paint on the floor, tubs, toilets and countertops, the first costumer care representative was slow to respond to our texts if we were responded to at all.

Response to new home 2nd walk through have never been corrected. Sliding door handle is very small making it hard to open from outside. Painters did not pay attention to finishing doors they are peeling and paint has stuck to frame.

If you have a model plan in place and you decide to go with it and don’t get everything you saw at the model home that will make you upset, need to have a better communication from beginning to end and have some accountability to make it right for your customers. Some items were find after move in and we summited a work order and we was told that those issue had to be addressed before closing and now we have some damage window.

At the start of my homebuying experience, I worked with sales rep Angel, who was terrific. He was very knowledgeable, and if he did not know the answer, he got me the answer. Angel showed me houses in four different cities around San Antonio. He never made me feel like a hassle and made it a point to help me when coming into town, as he knew I was purchasing out-of-state. When I decided to move forward with a house in Bulverde, I was told there were no sales incentives on the house because it was not included in the year-end sales event as it would not be closing by the end of the year. I was informed that this house had a closing date of December 5th. After putting my earnest money down on the house, I was told that my closing date had moved forward almost two weeks. When I voiced that this would be a financial burden as I would buy last-minute plane tickets to attend all the orientations and the closing day, I requested that we keep the original closing date of December 5th. I was then told that if I did not close by the new date they set, I would accrue fees for delaying the process. This response was disheartening. I then asked for sales concessions to help offset the additional costs I would incur due to the close of escrow moving up. I was told there was nothing Lennar could do to help assist me. I did not want to lose my earnest money or incur fees, so I moved forward with my first orientation with Brett. My initial orientation with Brett was very informative and validated my concerns. He took his time to explain and answer all my questions as a new homebuyer. I was offered the opportunity to complete my second walk virtually. My brother attended this walk, but I could not participate because I couldn't get the time off with such short notice. While the virtual walk was convenient and appreciated, it did not allow us to conduct a thorough inspection to make sure all the items from our previous walk were completed. Due to closing escrow, during the holiday season, my busiest work time, I could not go out to the house for 6 weeks from the day I close. I was disappointed when I picked up the keys and walked into my house for the first time. My back door and garage were left unlocked, allowing people to enter my home after closing. Additionally, I found dried mud on the floor and dried food remnants in my sink. As I walked through the rest of the house, I discovered that a blind was missing from my primary room, and several cabinet hinges that were initially there were missing during my walk with Brett. Upon further inspection, I noticed that things from my first walk were not completed, and additional damage to my flooring occurred after the final walk. I immediately contacted my customer service rep, Brett, to inform him of the uncleanliness of my house and other concerns. Brett told me the house does not get a detailed cleaning before closing. After expressing my frustrations and other concerns regarding the home, Brett met with me to ensure my concerns were addressed. Overall, I am thoroughly disappointed with my homebuying experience with Lennar. This not only caused me not to consider purchasing a Lennar home in the future but has also discouraged my other family members from purchasing a Lennar despite having had positive experiences with them. I would like a member of Lennar's management team to contact me regarding my concerns. ... More

Loan officer Miranda was amazing. Was told corrections were being made at final walkthrough that weren’t when we moved in. Took 2 days to get access to a home we owned without explanation. After move in warranty response is unreliable including having contractor show up at 5 pm after being home all day to say he can’t do the work. No follow up after. Loan officers are super helpful and answer all emails and questions. The home is good value for price, but some parts of the process are highly lacking in customer service.

only person worth mentioning is eric W. the supervisor. Could not have had a better person. his care is incredible. Other than that, house is built very cheaply, and has many imperfections in terms of paint, finishes, etc.

My first home was with lennar it was an excellent experience. I keep referring to the friends. But the second Home at this new community Northlake, buying experience was not that great. They have cut down so many features from what they displayed on the model homes. When I asked the reps their constant response was "lennar has gone cheap". Yeah the quality is not that good compare to homes built back in 2018. This home is not properly insulated. I can hear the voices from the downstairs to upstairs and one room to another rooms. Having lot of issues especially the HVAC system. Which makes lot of noise could not sleep well. It's been 3 months since I reported initially, no resolutions yet. This home is not worth the price I paid!!! ... More

The sale staff was nice to deal with However, the quality of the products is not . The construction Materials used are very ship. I was expecting more. For the money that I paid, and when something is reported to the guarantee company and they put so many excuses. Exemple: I called the guarantee because the Garage floor is cracking and they said that it is not covered by the warranty. It happened when I had 2 weeks leaving in the house. No doubt so sheap materials.

Lennar process is smooth but the agent we worked was not helpful , she dont have information on the community and even after we asked her to check about specific issue(dog park existing ) she took a day and informed there is no such thing adjacent to our home. She even reported to management that we are delaying the process instead of her lack of information . We were trying to buy the property from Jan2024 (from first release) but she never responeded to any of our messages or call, even if she responds she was just saying no homes available for you now, at the end we changed the Agent and we could able to buy the property, Same happened to my colleague with same agent(i suggested to change the agent and now he is also in escrow). Whoever looking into the review , please makesure your agent are not biased and also have the enough information. ... More

The water heater is placed in the living room and there were two leaks and flooded my living room. This is a very bad design by Lennar. Not to mention the water heater makes loud noise and can be heard up stairs. Some of my neighbors have the same issues with the water heater.

The salesperson was accurate, helpful, and honest, but the mortgage person was not sincere and changed terms after they committed us. We informed the salesperson about the situation, but nothing happened. We were led to believe specific terms or conditions were being offered when we decided to purchase the house. However, after committing, it seems those terms have changed, which feels dishonest to us.

Everyone I came across in the Lennar world was nice except for the insurance people from Lennar Insurance. They were rude and incompetent. I've been in the house for one and a half months and I am already coming across building issues. I've heard some horror stories from other residents. I wish I had spoken to others who had purchased before me

Karina, my sales representative, did an excellent job showing me homes that matched my preferences. Brandon, one of the builders, provided a thorough explanation of everything I’d need to properly care for my home. During my home orientation, Daniel, another builder, addressed issues promptly and did a fantastic job resolving them. Unfortunately, my experience with Michael, the loan officer, was disappointing. He was dishonest during the process, and when I requested to speak with a supervisor about the matter after I verified his credentials, I saw he redirected me to one of his colleagues instead. Additionally, his responses to my inquiries were significantly delayed. ... More

Gerry my Lennar rep was very responsive and helpful even with a follow up call to ensure McCrea, HVAC company, was thorough and complete. Unfortunately, with design flaws in the system it will be loud and inefficient to service the home in winter or summer. Gerry later called back to provide all my paint colors since they were not in my closing packet. I certainly can tell Gerry is committed to his clients.

still waiting on item that was supposed done at closing to be completed. that was 7 weeks ago

Overall quality of the house is good. How ever, customer service needs to improve. There is a pattern of ignoring or avoiding customer requests.

No sod or fence for several weeks so needed to deal with massive mud and inconvenience since having pets needing to go outside. The house was stated to have been cleaned but it was not. The flooring has paint splatters and black marks throughout the home, inside all cabinets were filthy so unpacking had to wait until I had to clean them. Most of the Lennar workers do not speak English. The outside pavement, doors, windows remain filthy so installing screens has been delayed. Kitchen cabinets had off-set issue which was fixed by replacing with unfinished cabinets so now new ones need to be ordered and replace. Attic door in the garage was not installed flush so a new ladder door has been sitting in my garage waiting for Lennar to replace. Strange electrical issues and the list goes on. Lennar care staff has been responsive and helpful but they should not have to manage so much via warranty service requests. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Cheap is as cheap does. I had to pay to install ceiling fans as well. I love the area and did downsize from a beautiful home so it is what it is. ... More

We were shown 3 models. We chose one and our hearts were set. Right before signing the agreement to buy we realized the house we fell in love with, was not what we were getting. The elevation for the house we were being sold didn't come, with the porch the model had. Cost savings changes eliminated basement windows the model had. However, the low interest rate mortgage made the house affordable and we moved forward. I had inspections throughout the build, but Lennardid not allow roof inspections. Right before closing I couldn't reach anyone, I never even got a call from the attorney. The closing was crazy only the notary showed up with stacks of documents for signature. No one to answer questions, we had to request a call from the Director of sales. He did call but the notary walked out, as per the title company. The closing was rescheduled and again because the attorney insisted on communicating via text the wire transfer was delayed. I was advised I may have to get my keys from a drop box, I was dumb founded. A few weeks after moving in we had to have the heating rewired, the thermostat was wired incorrectly. Some roof shingles have been moved by the wind. The basement bathroom is next to an unfinished closet, which exposes the tub and a gapping hole to access the trap, it should at least be covered. The door stoppers on one of the doors has punched through the hollow door. Two of the showers have chips already. The heating system installed is a new type of system. The plumbers that have seen it admit they haven't seen this type of system. The Director of sales and the employee who did the walk throughs were the most helpful representatives of Lennar I dealt with. We are happy with the house and pray we don't encounter any major issues. ... More

I love my home but I feel like the purchasing experience wasn't good. The initial sales team was good and showed me the homes and features. I saw the same home listed for 25,000 to 30,000 less in the same street and I was told there was no room for negotiation. Then, once I chose the home and did the first blue tape walk, the construction team would just remove the blue tape but not fix the issues. I had to go multiple times to the house and remark with blue tape. The construction guy kept telling me they would fix the things, but next time the it was the same. Even after moving in, the same items were still open. Warranty guys have been pretty good and nice. Just the construction team needs to do better to follow up with the things to fix. ... More

As with any new build, you will have a lot of dirt and debris, but a lot of of the ground is rock. These homes go up very quickly and you have to stay on top of quality control.. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and responsiveness to issues.

My family just moved into a brand new Lennar home in Silo Lafayette and the overall experience could have been better, although everyone we worked with was very friendly and helpful. Construction was done very quickly, often at the cost of quality and workmanship, and constant attention was required to get the floorplan features documented at the time of our deposit. The construction manager and sales team worked with us to come up with solutions to almost everything, but for instance we now have a bathroom door which opens into another door for the rest of the home's life, which was a deviation from the floorplan that we were not informed of and had to catch on our own. Also, during construction there were multiple water leaks in the crawlspace which were never cleaned up after multiple requests. When we moved in, the whole first floor smelled like an animal had died in there, and for the first several weeks we had to continuously pressure Lennar to get the crawlspace cleaned. We ended up having to clean it ourselves, although the warranty team was helpful and friendly and agreed to replace the insulation in the area where the water leaks occurred. Still, it was not the start we were hoping for especially considering the issue was raised several times before close. Our advice if you are considering buying a home from Lennar: be prepared to be on site frequently, and be proactive about any issues you see, otherwise your new home may look (and smell) differently than you were hoping! ...

From start to finish in our new townhome we felt like Lennar was artificially rushing the closing process, while completely missing deadlines on their end. We were in no hurry to close, but the Lennar agent was adamant it happened ASAP. They set an overly optimistic close date, and we agreed (thinking they could still have the home ready). During the first walkthrough, several issues were identified and added to their blue tape list. We had also been told appliances would be dropped off morning of first inspection, they were not. After a week, final inspection date comes and not only have the issues been left unresolved, appliances still aren’t installed. Not to mention the cleaning crew was apparently scheduled at the same time as the walk, so we had to work around them. They still expected us to close the next day, without personally verifying any of said issues had been addressed. I am not impressed with Lennar. If they weren’t adamant on closing under two weeks from signing nearly all of these issues would have been avoided! ... More
