Lennar Reviews

Overall, we love our new home. Since moving in, we have noticed that some things were not what you would expect on a new house costing $360,000, such as caulking on the baseboards and not being able to use regular toilet paper because they installed the paper holders incorrectly.

The contractor and the customer warranty woman had no time to talk to me…..waited a long time for cabinet drawers……I have a tree still down from Ian & the fact that I closed in the 31st of August, but still couldn’t move until 9/16 since I was waiting for drawers which I finally came in and placed on 10/24. Then one drawer was cracked, so they had to order a new one. That was just the tip of my experience.

We have had nothing but problems with Lennar. There's no quality, no customer service and no accountability. The closing was postponed six or seven times, our calls and emails were rarely answered, we've submitted warranty claims left and right and some are even repeat that they just can't get it done correct. Even during the construction phase, we apprised them of issues and even provided photos and all they said was “it’ll be addressed and we will do an exceptions list and take care of it.” Well, to date many issues have NOT been taken care of and some new ones have surfaced! Lennar’s management is totally oblivious of their customer’s needs, their subcontractors do what they want and how they want, hence one of many reasons why there’s not quality or accountability. What’s even worst, is that we’ve even emailed Mr. Jaffey and I am certain that he never received our email; his staff intercept his emails and do NOT share them with him. I seriously doubt that he even knows what has taken place, which begs the question; why is Lennar canceling building projects? I’ll even go as far as saying that Lennar may just be on the verge of Chapter 13. I may even buy Lennar short stock option if I weren’t fearful of Lennar declaring bankruptcy. Heck, I bet I won't even get a call from Lennar to assist in getting all the issues addressed; I might just have to go to court! ... More

Easy peezy ! Best home buying experience

The consultant was not helpful after getting the deposit would not answer any questions and sometimes it felt like I was bothering him it was not what I expected

Worst experience ever, will not buy house from Lanner FL any more.

Our Lennar home-buying experience can be summed up in two sentences… Lack of communication!!! Poor attention to construction detail!! From the moment we signed the agreement to purchase our new home build, to settlement, we felt like we were left in the dark and unvalued!!! NOT ONCE during the nine month construction did we hear from our sales person with a construction update. We felt fortunate that we lived close by so that we could stop and monitor the progress. Several times we stopped by and noticed issues. We brought the issues to the attention of the Project Manager only to fall on deaf ears. Now all those issues are being handled by the warranty department. I am happy to report that the warranty department has stepped up, listened and is addressing our issues. They are on task and handling the pre-settlement construction flaws (of which there are many). While Lennar chooses to do business this way is puzzling. One would think Lennar cared about their reputation and would handle the issues prior to settlement so that they had happy customers. I would be surprised if the CEO of Lennar would except such poor communication and construction standards on the build out of their home. My guess is that they would, like us, not feel valued and heads would roll if they receive such poor treatment. ... More

I came to SA from out of state and had to handle everything via phone calls. My first point of contact in the sales office, Diana, was the most wonderful, sweet, and helpful person. She got me the information I needed so I could set up an appointment for my realtor to come take a look the very next day. I decided to do it! It was 25 days from first Google to standing in my new home for my final walkthrough, meeting my construction manager Tony, who let me follow him around asking a ton of questions while he touched up a few last minute details. The Lennar team got everything together and made it happen on my timeline. To say I am grateful is not enough! I had such a positive experience, I always tell people who are looking at homes to start with Lennar. My home is beautiful, and I am so happy I made this choice. ... More

Issues with lawn still looking like crap but is scheduled for this week. Much crap in back yard since closing at end of August but I cleaned much of it up yesterday (Oct.24) as I am having family visit this week. One of closet doors is not closing shut but I need to put in a ticket shortly to correct. When closing, called up Lennar lawyer for possible mortgage but never got back to me. This wasn't a main problem as I paid cash for the house instead.

Lack of communication and closed on house with a lot of issues!!!

The quality of the house is very very low. It was my second home purchase and found very low quality material and definitely used unprofessional labor to construct these houses. During my orientation I put correction items, but guess how much additional correctional items they added. It was so frustrating dealing with all these and pushing further out to correct and looks like they will never get done. They missed a lot of items to install in the house. PAINTS ALL OVER CARPET, DOOR KNOB, Tiles, vent hood,

After we moved into the house the customer service has been below par. Major issues have bot been addressed and even after moving into the house for the last 2 months we are still waiting for issues to be resolved

Great community and the people to witg

Quality of workmanship can be better. Example; don't use flat paint.

Reasonable price,nice build, lots house for the money you paid , won't regret.

The house stood thru the hurricane. The quality of work is terrible. The reason the walls are textured is to hide imperfections and not mud and sand. There are dips and ruts. I like the neighbors and surroundings. Lennar does not look at the home form the inside as a home owner and how things work. The driveway has no sub barrier so grass continuously grows thru. There was so much blue tape warranty said this is construction things not post close warranty.

I've owned several homes over the years but have never brought a new home before - everyone from Lennar made the process seamless and easy.

The agent on site nice, but, she is supposed to be. That is the best and only best thing which can be said for the whole experience with Lennar. As far as the mortgage experience is concerned, if it were not for the incentives used I would not have used them. As to the subcontractors used, if they worked for me they would have to get better real quick or find another line of work. Subcontractors work rating is fair too poor and that can be appealed from floor, to ceiling, to outside.

Yes I would refer folks to Lennar

Buying a home from Lennar has been a terrible experience. The quality of the home is not good and customer support from Lennar has been awful.

Worst buying experience of my life. I wish I could point to one positive aspect but I cannot. Customer service at this organization is nonexistent!

This will be THE LAST time I ever buy a Lennar home and I will tell everyone who asks me, how crappy this house is. We basically only moved forward with the purchase because it was buy this house or be homeless. We pay so much money for a house that comes with the bare minimum. We don't even have a back yard water faucet and live facing a retention area. If that area ever caught fire, we have no way of helping contain that. No window screens, our home inspector was shocked with no screens. The door ways to the restrooms are not wheelchair accessible as they are so narrow. We live in TEXAS and the home came with no ceiling fans. The walls and insulation are so weak, someone standing at our front door or even on the front porch can hear us speaking inside. We had our first storm last night and it felt like the house was going to blow apart. The workmanship of the painting in the home is bad, we can see imperfections everywhere in the framework. Poor experience from the salesman we used to the closing. Never again! ... More

Responsive and easy to work with.

even though we were hoping for a slightly higher quality of build, they did good and quickly agreed any issues we had- and did it in a kind, professional manner:)

Even small basic request were not considered/ denied during construction process . Inspite of saying we will bear the cost for the materials.?for example drilling a hole in the kitchen tile prior to putting up tiles. It’s not easy for us to do it now and more expensive to break things open. We paid over the asking price, I wish Lennar rep was able to consider such small request… backyard grading is pathetic . We purchased the lot so that we have enough space for kids to play. With such poor grading and water getting stuck it’s not usable at all. The original date for closing was October to December but was completed in August. It seems very rushed and many minor things were overlooked. The person who did the walk through was not even from this community and had no clue on water source. The final walkthrough was scheduled for short window between closing and we had to rush through and sign the papers. Given a choice I would rather have these issues fixed and then signed final papers. The number of issues are overwhelming now and we are on hook to follow up with CM and warranty folks. Every fix needs scheduling and working around our schedules to accommodate. We are constantly worried that something else will break and we may not be covered by warranty every day. We had to deal with bugs inside the house for more than 2 weeks due to bad insulation. Despite complaining many times it was not handled in urgency. The dishwasher was never tested and we had to wait for 2-3 weeks for replacement. These are supposed to be taken care by the folks who inspected and given okay and not the homeowners responsibility after moving. ... More
