Lennar Reviews

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.

The sales process was great, and the person helping me handle the paperwork was responsive. The Lennar insurance team is terrible in that you have to chase them down for them to do their job, and even then, they don't do a good job at following through the whole process and ensuring your policy is in effect. They blame their system and customers for emails not being sent. The workmanship is terrible, and the place is filthy. Construction workers have no respect for the property, and you need to spend hours and close to a thousand dollars cleaning the place and shampooing the carpet. The walls are not aligned correctly, and the doors don't provide a seal. The floors are also not leveled, and the problem is hidden by laying over carpet. I'm lucky to get 20 years out of a Lennar home when they are supposed to last 100 years. ... More

We did the walkthrough with the house dirty.(fatal) Paint work terrible, wood trim prep work poor quality. Warranty team is excellent.

Beautiful layout and new home, although there are issues that had to be addressed at a significant expense. Water is badly calcified, sump pump was cheap and not working properly, still issues that have to be addressed. Nice location and development though.

Materials quality is not that great

Please check every inch before buying the home, as this is you own house.

Poor quality and response to incidents are very bad. Response to tickets is very bad. Nominal quality materials.

Lennar, is a good builder, but they have omitted small things you expect in most older homes, such as medicine cabinets, towels bars/racks in bathrooms, extra paint for touch-ups, the appliances that come with most homes are very basic, and the SID or LID is put on the homeowners to pay now.

Materials for the home is ok. Purchased a 2 story home and when walking on the second floor, you can hear the steps. Carpet is ok, needs more cushion. Moved in and needed some fixing such as air vent switches in the bathroom kept turning on for no reason, air ducks had major issues with air flow with some room having a lot of air and some having very little like the master bedroom. The dryer plug in the laundry room was broken. The roof had a leak and it’s been 3 weeks and it’s still not fixed. Issues between Lennar and the solar company. They are still trying to fix it. Had to get an electrician to come fix it. Still finding issues with the house here and there. When purchasing the home, there were some issues with communications and was going to be charged for a solar battery of $10k which we were not going to get the battery. If we didnt question about the battery, we would’ve been charge the $10k on the purchase price. ... More

I still do not have items repaired. I missed my closing due to the home not being done. I was misled numerous time and I have no trust in the construction team. My sales rep was just that a sales person. Made many promises that never was every followed up on after the purchase

The Villa is beautiful. The material is cheaply made. The driveways cannot hold 2 cars and there is no parking. The street is extremely small. Lastly, we were quoted 115 for HOA and after closing we find out it is 167. Would have just liked the transparency.

I wish we had more time and money to buy some were else.

The processing part itself was not bad. Although we closed a day late because they forgot to give us some papers to sign. Which, they did again a few weeks after we closed.Just a bit of lack of communication. Some of the major issues that were noted in the walk through looked like they were repaired by a 12 year old. They are still not fixed. Customer care guy told us to text him “not email “ him very specifically and so I did but there was never a response at all. I can’t wait until all my issues are fixed so I can just be done with Lennar to be honest.

The initial buying process went well. However, after I signed the purchase contract, I had to follow-up after no responses regarding the inspection. I definitely did not feel I received the red carpet treatment as expected after making such a big investment. Lennar short cuts at every opportunity…no mirror in the powder room, no light fixtures throughout home, including over the mirrors in each of the bathrooms (except undesirable one in dining room). Review of items prior to closing was combative and rushed. I was appalled that Lennar did not offer a printed copy of the warranty manual.

The experience was average. The builder had a floor plan and location that was desirable. The quality is on par with average builds, and price is so much higher. Many items had to be replaced shortly after moving in so that we could have the quality we desired. So many promises, and little delivered.

Trying to get the punch list items addressed was a constant battle to get people to even show up. Many, many, many times I was told that someone would be there on a certain day and nobody would;d show up. Many of my interior doors are still sticking when trying to open and close them. At this point I've given up trying to contact the only person I was ever given for these issues as it became too much trying to get him to show up. The top coat of pavement was put down almost 3 weeks ago, they had to pave around a car that was left on the street (707 Harrison Mill St.), partially due to NOBODY telling the residents when they were going to pave. The paving company has been back in the neighborhood 3 different days and the gap in pavement still hasn't been filled in, even though the foreman of the paving crew told me it would be done by today. No it appears the paving crew is done and won't be back here until the townhouses are complete months in the future. ... More

The sales rep, Jimmy, over committed before sigining the sale agreement. Couple of key information provided prior to the sale, which drives our decision making to invest in the house, were incorrect. This unfolded to us as we went through Lennar's mortgage process for ex., sellers credit provided is of no use, as they artificially inflate the interest rate and then apply all the credits against discount points to lower interest rate to match market rate provided by other lenders (so this is literally a rip off, as it nullifies the benefit of sellers credit, which was one of the prime reason for us to go with Lennar). The sales rep also told us prior to sale that if there is any unused sellers credit after buying discount points, it is ours to keep and can be applied to lower the house cost or anything else. But that isn't true, which we learnt later on is not allowed by housing laws. So overall do your own research first before going with this builder. Working with the mortgage specialist (Rhonda) wasn't a good experience either - slow response, not providing details as requested, etc. Hence switched to external lender. ... More
