Lennar Reviews

Some incentives we were told we would get and did not. Lack of communication on the front end. The CM, warranty and closing team were great. Issues after closing were addressed in a timely manner.

We love the design of our home and the community. Unfortunately, we are disappointed with the many aspects of our new house. We feel the quality of the materials and the appliances are subpar. We were also given misinformation about some of the logistics. For example, we closed in February and were told our driveway would be paved in late March and our street in April. Since our sod wasn’t installed right away, the lower part of our driveway was loaded with mud constantly. Our driveway was completely today, after several phone calls and our street has yet to be paved.

Lennar needs to improve construction quality. I have to submit 10 work order in the first month after move in. 2 walkthroughs didn't help me to resolve the issues. There is no home security system, not even a ring door bell or keyless smart lock. I found a empty beer bottle on top of my kitchen cabinets. Try to see what you can find in your homes!!

We had a mixed experience with our apartment purchase. On one hand, Bryan (our agent) professionalism and communication skills were commendable throughout the buying process. On the other hand, the condition of the apartment was unsatisfactory, with unaddressed issues from the walkthrough, such as an unconnected dryer exhaust duct, an unsecured washing machine drain hose, a subpar paint job, and a missing kitchen cabinet shelf.

Lennar is an average builder in terms of quality of workmanship in my opinion. A large portion of our wood trim is marred, damaged, isn’t smooth, etc…. I expect more on a newly built home at a high price point. They did fix a big sewer issue at the last minute, though reluctantly, but did not want to push out our close date even though we were agreeable to moving out the close date. I’m sure it was the end of the sales quarter and they didn’t want to push that money into another quarter. Overall, the buiider does respond to some repairs needed, and it’s a nice house. But, I expected better quality of workmanship. Do NOT use Lennar Mortgage though! We had the worst experience we’ve ever had with a mortgage company. They have very poor communication and said one of us couldn’t be on the loan because it would be easier that way. Easier for her, but not best for us. They also never really answered questions clearly and had months to get documentation from us that was only requested from us on the actual day of closing. Very unprofessional and unethical. ...

Sales team was great, Financing, Heather was great, closing communication was lacking. Overall, we love the house and the neighborhood.

Too many different places that I had to ask questions from. Things need to be streamlined! I was never told a lot of the rules and expenditures I would have. I did not receive any paperwork and was never placed on certain lists. It was a very stressful situation for me. No guidance at all. I am told it probably happened because I paid out right and never went to a closing. Was done on my phone. The paperwork did not get to the different departments. As far as fixing any issues ; the staff has been excellent. Checking even to make sure the job is done. Excellent experience with Josh and Hailey. PLZ stream like all the payments to 1 monthly billing and then they can divide it up to all the different companies. ... More

Lennar has very unhappy buyers.The problems can be solved easily as most people here have the same problem with the same people. I have been a project manager for the last 30 years and none of the staff I have met would work for me.There is one exception,Mike Bell.Mike is professional and gets things done.He follows up after job is scheduled.You need to hire more like him

Too many docusigns and different Lennar logins and people involved. Not fun at all. Should be easier process and one “go to person “ to contact.

When putting in a clean something that’s not working, takes too long

This is a first home buying experience. There were issues all along the way. Thank god we had a realtor that was with us every step of the way. Feel there needs more communication. All in all, we are happy with our purchase.

Neither bathroom came with any towel hangers, when sink, bathroom and shower normally have one. We are willing to forego the missing top bathroom cabinets. Pavement to the front door has a couple of holes exposing inner wood. We are still very happy with the new house, but the above needs attention.

I thought they did a great job in the beginning of the process very responsive until the week of closing. Once I closed - moving from another state - with no idea of who to contact for utilities HOA etc. So disorganized and frustrating. Once that was figured out, all is good. Love the place so far! I did go through Lennar Mortgage and they did a great job!

I think there are some basic things that needed to be included in these homes that Lennar does not. I think glass shower doors and maybe ceiling fans should be the basics in homes in Texas. I also think the team that builds the homes could use a little more supervision I won’t get into that. Other than that the homes are nice which they build more in other spaces affordable homes because all cities in Dfw need affordable homes not just in the outskirts.

Im happy with the price of the house but wish lennar gave the buyer options for their house. Having kids the flat white paint is terrible if you get a wet rag it takes the paint off. Also why not include a garage opener for the garage door. On top of that how much harder would it be to just paint the garage if you are painting the whole house just paint the garage too. Also if you are going to lay sod why not just make sure all of the lot has sod and not just leave half of the backyards with dirt. Or for me have 1/4 of the front yard with a pile of sand. Another thing why only paint the trim on the front of the house white and not do it the sides and the backyard. These houses are built with 1 goal and it shows build as many as possible and sell them fast with quality of work as secondary. Just drive down the street and you can see shingles already missing from houses that were just built this year. But drive in other neighborhoods in Portland and their shingles are just fine. Some other issues ive had with this house in the first month of me living here are week 1 AC went out over the weekend and I got told sorry there is nothing we can do until monday. So myself and my pregnant wife didn’t have ac that weekend. Last week we noticed our garage had a steady stream or water coming from the ceiling turns out the builder put a nail through the water line. They fixed the leak pretty quick but still waiting for the insulation and drywall to get replaced. Lennar in my opinion is the most affordable housing in the area, but keep in mind customer satisfaction does not mean much to them they just care about selling a house and getting the next one sold. ...

I do not like the practice of having one lawyer represent all sides, including the mortgage bank. While it may seem to be convenient, I had no one to speak with during the process when I had questions.

This is my second home from Lennar . So I was fully aware of what I am getting into . When I put in an offer I was not even presented with a counter offer . That felt rude . Although the price what I offered was very close the sales in that neighborhood. Then I eventually they came back with offer after a month After you sign the contract they immediately move you to an customer advocate / coordinator by the emails we received it felt like it was more of slap in the wrist and a list of things you cannot do with bold letters . Don’t stop by to see the house .. . Less flexibility in terms of scheduling appointment Quality of craftsmanship is ok based on the price what you are getting . My first Lennar home we got GE appliances while now we get Frigidaire which might be lower grade Go with less expectations. ... More

The closing paperwork and communications at the end was terrible.

I really enjoyed the sales process, David was a total pro and was really responsive to all questions and helped us understand the options and features with each house we looked at. I felt like he was very honest with his advice and opinions and established and maintained a very professional and friendly demeanor with us throughout the process. The Lennar Mortgage experience was fairly painless as well with the exception of the website for uploading documents and such. The IT on the Lennar website needs attention, it doesn't work well and is not user friendly. My specific issue was it would not allow me to log in and would not allow me to reset my password, after numerous attempts over the course of several days, this was finally resolved. Some specific issues we experienced since moving in were the discovery that all of the faucets dispense water at such an angle that it splashes water out of the sink and onto the floor or onto your belly depending on where you are standing. They look nice but are not a great design for the sinks that were installed with them (which cause the splashing). I have replaced most of these already and it is a shame that the plumbers who installed them didn't identify and correct this issue (by using different faucets). The electrical (circuit breaker panel) in my house has been very challenging, popped circuit breakers have been an ongoing issue, specifically with the double ovens and the clothes dryer. We've had electricians out numerous times and also several dryer repairman visits to figure out what was going on. The dryer was popping the circuit breaker and was also found to have been wired incorrectly. They also have done a "max burn" on the ovens to help acclimatize the circuit breaker from what I've been told. The bottom line is this apparently is/was a known issue and should have been resolved prior to closing. And finally, the interior paint in this house was apparently applied while it was very cold which caused it to bubble and appear uneven throughout the home. This was noted during pre-closing walk through (home orientation and also celebration walk) and not corrected, actually many of the discrepancies related to paint that were noted during the walk throughs were not corrected. So overall, not especially impressed by the level of attention to detail and the thoroughness of the trades or post work inspection process. I love the house but I expected more from a brand new construction home than to have all of these issues after I moved in. ... More

Pretty bad experience in terms of communication, I tried to call so many times but no answer, even email communication is very bad. I still have issues with home insurance because I changed A to B. but I still pay A rate, and nobody does nothing to fix and calling or emailing is nearly impossible to speak with right pesons....

Please give your new customers very concrete explanations about your portal very carefully. And no mistakes in handling documents.

The experience was ok. The communication from our loan officer and the representative to help us buy the home was absolutely terrible. Did not explain the process to us at all and our loan officer would randomly email us at night and tell us we had to have the email responded to by the next morning. We felt in the dark all the way up to the day we were buying the house. We had no idea how much money we needed for closing and it was a very stressful time. Lost quite a few nights of sleep over stressing over our purchase. The builder and warranty lady were a pleasure to work with. But the loan officer and representative were terrible. Not very responsive or great with communication. ... More

Buying this home started exciting but at the end there were no sparks. Closing process was rushed, lender required documents right at the time it was requested. It felt like I had to drop everything I was doing to provide them with what they needed. During the last walk through; day of closing things that were found incomplete/needing fixing/touch up by hired and Kenner inspector were not completed. Vendors were still coming through the house trying to fix things so that closing could take place. Just very rushed. Then had to drive to the appointment to sign closing paperwork. Many things that were supposed to be explained prior to signing were not explained, numbers were different. Didn’t even get the celebratory experience of pictures and whatever else that typically takes place when closing. It really wasn’t an enjoyable experience. At this point have not moved in as there are things that are still need to be done before officially moving in. ... More

I love the floor plan. Lot is a little less desirable. Some material defects, they are addressing so far. A lot of concrete defects in the short-time in this neighborhood. A review in 6 months would be better served. Being in home 2 months is really not a lot of time to see what issues pop up and how they respond.

We bought in a non-home owners association. Think twice about that. Cars, trailers everywhere. Weeds not being taken care of. It’ our mistake but it won’t happen again. Lennar does not control the crime while bldg homes. I think it’s very dangerous here.
