Lennar Reviews

Yesterday the construction guys accidentally splattered cement on our newly constructed swimming pool and the deck around it. A construction guy came but I didn’t hear the doorbell because I was in the shower. 10 min later I found out what happened and I texted the construction manager (Gerry). He didn’t even respond. I have to get someone to clean the deck and repaint the affected areas. I believe it was the responsibility of Lennar.

Heavily implied sod and trees would be delayed until I was able to arrive at the home. Told it would be documented. Neither happened and there was no follow up on the matter. Trees were replaced but sod left to me, which will cost me $8k out of pocket to replace. Multiple breakers keep popping and have to keep submitting work orders. Garbage disposal never worked. Dishwasher stopped working. Wasn't told there wouldn't be window screens. Multiple areas still need touch up paint. Multiple areas weren't cleaned from paint droplets. Overall feel I was taken advantage of and not properly assisted throughout the process for my first ever hone purchase. Very disappointed in Lennar. ... More

We recently purchased a unit at Eagle Ridge. While the process of purchasing the unit was fine, the experience after escrow closed was very frustrating. While our customer service rep, Jessica, deserves at least 5 stars for all she did to take care of the items that weren't completed by the close of escrow, the trades were less than responsive and often didn't complete their work properly. I believe there is a serious communication problem between the trades and Lennar. Now that we are more than 2 months post-closing, I believe that work is almost finished. Hopefully, they have done quality work. Time will tell. ... More

Baseboards were coming away from the wall in several places

After purchasing, I've made several calls to Lennar folks requesting information, guidance or touch up paint. All calls have remained unanswered. I'm extremely disappointed with this company.

Chaotic purchase. Their in house mortgage/underwriting has poor communication overall but the customer-facing people were great. The house itself is beautiful, but really frustrated with the patio especially. When I walked through the first time it looked as if the patio floods during heavy rains and I asked the builder about it and he assured me it was all construction dirt….. turns out that the patio definitely floods when it rains. Small construction/finishing errors throughout the house that aren’t huge but definitely do your walkthroughs in person and be as picky as possible. We couldn’t walk ours in person due to time/distance constraints. ... More

No clear outline of the process. No clear accountability

Overall the price of the home was affordable, especially for the area. The home was built with builder grade materials so didn't expect anything of quality and I received exactly as expected. Overall the buying process is stressful and they force you into using their mortgage. I do not suggest using their title company. The sales staff are so-so. At first super responsive but as the process moves along they do a horrible job coordinating things and keeping you updated. The walk through person was probably the only bright spot. He did a great job explaining where things are located, how to work the items, and how to file a warranty claim if needed. However items which were repaired left other issues cosmetically in the home which were never repaired and now left up to me to fix. Again, the price of the home for being so centrally located to Dallas was amazing. Even with all these issues I would buy again only because of the price and location but if I was ever looking for a more suburban home I would completely avoid Lennar. ... More

All in all we like our house. Yes alot of the materials used are cheap, but they are not terrible. Have not been in the house long enough to give a real assessment. We have hope everything will go well!

Very unsettling not getting towel bar in the bathrooms. Thermostat was not compatible with WiFi when we were told many times it was we had to dog it with the Ac company to get it resolved ( had to change thermostat)?Chris did help us reimbursed. The soil has many rocks and construction materials in the soil. No light in the pantry. No support with smart appliances, door and ring setups. The dinning room light outlet box was not center to the room we had to pay to have it corrected. All and all it was a frustrating experience.

Lennar sales person is very nice and helpful, other workers don’t trust , When you buy a house from them before closing need to be very careful check everything if they don’t fix them you have to fix them on your own. Like my gate to backyard from day one we bought the house cannot keep closing have to use a zip tie to zip the gate not very professional job , lay dead grass and blamed you not watering it ,

We’ve had an okay experience. A lot of the finishes are cheaper quality with things missing like towel racks, toilet paper holders etc that you don’t realize won’t come with it. The way they dramatically slope the small sides of the home also just make mud pits on both sides of your house and our neighbors are having the same issues. We’re on the edge of the path and Lennar still hasn’t put sod down on the path along our yard so it’s another mud pit now overrun with weeds.

I feel we got good value for what we paid, workmanship and material was sub par compared to other local builders.

1-extremely disappointed in the lawn. Sod looks like it was laid by a child because there are gaps galore! The seed that was laid on the sides and back almost refuse to grow because it was not watered properly or regularly prior to us moving in. There are brown areas all over. The dirt used was the wrong dirt and wasn't graded because there are so many rocks and stones like construction dirt was used. I had to throw down more seed, i water twice faily, and am only getting patches of grass. Whoever the lawn company is, why don't they come on the same day of the week? We were told it would be every Friday but they've come on Wednesdays and Thursdays. 2-why is Lennar in charge of the HOA? BC Communities has all the say not the residents. It shouldn't matter how many people are in the community. At least one of us should be allowed on the board. 3-workmanship on our house SUCKS. We see where they've screwed up but tried to hide the imperfection with paint, caulk, or putty. There are even faults they didn'rt fix! 4-we were told there was an old cemetary by the tree line across the new road from us, but that was a lie because it's right next to our house! 5-why is there no activites director? WE NEED ONE! 6-the house is not senior friendly. The windows are too high and are single hung indtead of double. There are no bars in the shower and we weren"t given the option. The shower isn't easy to get in and out of because yhe bottom piece is too high. 7-because our previous house sold in 2 days and the buyers wanted to move within 30 days we were in a bind. We wanted to buy in Bridgeville but would have had to wait several months for the house to be built so we kept looking and voila! You had one already built and we could move in pretty quickly. Extremely disappointedwith this community. I think i might be missing some things, but i'll continue my list.' ... More

I am happy with the quality of the home. If lennar finishes swimming pool, children's play ground, and other amenities listed asap- I think it will be really helpful for us. Thank you

Sinc the closing, more and more problems have appeared.... Ugh

We are still learning important rules and regulations that we were not told when looking to buy. Payments made to four different entities. Discovered poor workmanship on several areas

Make sure punch list items are done before closing.

This home built quality is 5 out of 10, things left unfinished, they used the cheapest materials, walls get scuffed up and damaged very easily. Outside ground under lawn is very soft, you walk over it and you will sink about 3 4 inches. Walls are not built straight, they just want to make money on you. If you comment about their work because you seen too many unprofessional workmanship on the house, they don’t like the way you talk with them. Any body gets mad for the bad quality of house they get. We paid for it at least they can do is do good quality work, even if they using cheap materials. There are more stuff to say but don’t have time for it. Money don’t come easy for people to buy a house. ... More

Make sure you do your walk-thru!

I expected the overall buying process to be easier when using all Lennar companies (builder, lender, insurer, etc), but that was not the case. Home build quality is good but not great - needed tradesmen out to the house twice to correct issues within the first month.

The mortgage and sales people were great and very helpful, however the home orientation experience was nothing short of horrific. I asked for fixes that to this day have not been implemented (almost 2 months after closing). My home orientation person seemed to be completed ambivalent to our needs, would not respond unless repeatedly contacted. We did a home inspection report and it literally took a month for this guy to finally address the issues (1 still hasn't to this day) after repeated attempts. I called the main call center and asked specifically to be assigned to a different home orientation person and I would like to speak to manager of the currently assigned individual. Request was ignored and I kept having to deal with this guys indifference to his job. Frankly I already written a review about this so if you're not going to take action, stop wasting people's time and asking for their reviews. Workmanship seems cheap since everything seems to be made of drywall and need anchors to hang things from walls. If someone asked me would you purchase a Lennar home i would probably say no. ...

Hard time getting issues fixed after walk through. Still have items that need to be addressed

Affordable house. I understand I was getting a house cheaper than the rest of the market average and that's what I feel like I got. Not a fan of the process you walk the house prior to your closing date and get told no need to point out every defficiency they'll all get addressed. Then you walk it right before closing and get told "if we didn't point it out last time we can't address it now". When you get told that feels very scummy. Had a plumbing leak week of move in. Items were not addressed prior to closing but that's on me for agreeing to sign. Main construction lead not a pleasant guy to deal with. Warranty lead is nice enough but communication is terrible. Office people told me wrong closing date and never apologized or mentioned it. You take off work days ahead of time for the date to be wrong and only find out when talking to the mortgage side of things. Frustrating. Overall affordable house and I got what I paid for so I'm grateful. Am I making sure my home insurance is at max coverage and lowest deductible you bet. Thank you lennar. ... More

The baseboards are all cardboard. They never finished our yard. The roads are always clogged with construction workers all over the place. They wake you up banging at 6 am. The closets all needed to be braces downstairs. The construction vehicles have created cracks in our driveway. We have found more paint issues. Our first person dealing with Pam was awesome and extremely helpful but from there very lackluster.
