Lennar Reviews

We had some issues with our carpet being too short in a couple rooms and on the stairs. After a couple weeks (missed appointments) a crew showed up to take care of the situation. We were told two rooms would be replaced. They repaired one room, and replaced the other. The carpet varied from original and we were told it was the way it was manufactured. We also were told a cleaning company would come in after to clean the house to like new appearance. After another missed appointment, we are still waiting for that cleaning. It's been 6 weeks now.

I have paid for stickers to be posted on the bumper of my car to allow me to enter the community after 9 PM three weeks ago and still have not received them. When I ask Lennar representative I get no response. I also at direction of Lennar have requested planting few trees in front and backyards and have not received any response.

Our purchase experience with Nate was very good. He was very attentive, personable and responsive. The lack of choice in materials selection was an issue. We found multiple metals used for fixtures rather than just one, i.e. mixture of brushed nickel and chrome versus just one. Examples of poor workmanship are everywhere. They used caulk to keep pavers in place on front stoop versus using cement. Painters are sloppy. Light fixtures weren’t reinstalled after painting. Numerous holes exist in installed sod lawn. Our punch list of items requiring attention exceeds 20 so far and we’ve only been in the house for 2 weeks. The Company needs major improvement in quality control practices. Those are some of the negatives. On the positive side, in addition to an excellent sales representative, the community is well designed, the style of home is very pleasing, company staff is responsive when called upon to get things fixed. Conclusion, for the priced paid, Lennar needs to step up it’s game on the quality control front.. It seems the company prefers taking shortcuts to get homes done so they can get paid and they’ll deal with the quality issues latter. Not a good strategy. ... More

The purchasing process and getting the loan was great - except that I have learned from friends who I referred that additional purchasing options could have been shared. Specifically, a buy down option. When I received the keys I sat in front of the home waiting for my husband to walk in with me. While sitting there a man and a woman walked out of the home (obviously left unlocked). The man was tall, but nonetheless, I got out of my car and asked "what are you doing in my home. The man said he was my neighbor checking design features" I tried to report this to several people, but I was basically given a run around. I did not call the police because I did not get the license number of the matte blue tesla. Next - when we did our final walk through we were told that several items would be done before we moved in. The person replacing a window came in as we left. When we actually moved in, SEVERAL of those items were not addressed. In fact they still had tape on them from the walk through. We have been in the home over a month and we finally had someone come out. I have submitted the information on line, even contacted my HOA - who tried to help. I believe part of the issue is that somehow the wrong phone numbers have been put (transposed) in my Lennar account. I complained about this early on when my initial walkthrough was delayed because of 1 wrong number in my phone number. The phone number and/or contacting my by email or phone was never a problem during the financial phases of the purchase. There are also rough finishes on baseboards and paint drips/flecks around the house. ... More

Lack of assistant during sales transaction. Sales person's availability and timely response can be improved. Lack of follow up on questions.

To summarize, I have bought 2 properties with Lennar, in the first one I had problems but I thought it was an exception but in the second time I had problems again so I finally decided to file a service request or complaint, that was more than a month ago and I still have not received response even though I sent it again due to the lack of response. It was addressed to customer service and the person responsible for that area. I hope that these surveys are reviewed and activate improvement processes and customer responses. thank you so much

They will fix all the big items but, it’s the little things that are going to drive you crazy. Make sure they fix all the little stuff before you close because getting them to fix stuff after you close is a mission.

The house is beautiful, no complaints on the looks. My negative is the lennar title company, the representative was in a poor mood and was trying to rush me out from buying my biggest purchase in my life. It’s unfortunate that you have to use their title company or you lose the incentive, so the company knows there is no competition or any incentive of hiring nice people to work there, just left a bad taste in my mouth since that is essentially the last person you interact with.

The garage in this home will not facilitate an SUV. I was told this was a maintenance free villa and now find out I am responsible for the yard trees and gardens.

Home is amazing and beautiful. Very frustrated they put such cheap materials in wherever they could. Then when these cheap materials break in the first few weeks you have to jump through hoops to get them fixed. Everyone passes the buck and they make You jump through difficult hoops to get things fixed. They say they are so easy to file a home warranty claim, but it is time consuming. The follow up appointment with Josh was a joke!!! He acted like he was there to help you with all the problems you are having, but in reality he did not help us at all just said fill out a warranty claim. He only wanted to hear things were great instead or reality and feedback. That was not the helpful follow up we had hoped for. All of my neighbors complain about the very cheap closets. I know of three homes where they broke in the first week. The builder should be ashamed of themselves for building such a cheap closet in homes costing 750k+. We will love living here, but it is just a shame we are having to spend our own money to fix things that break because they were put in to save a couple dollars for the builder. They can definitely do better. ... More

Moved in with a cracked countertop. Was told it was getting fixed and it never happened. Going on two months with nothing.

After closing, I could no longer get any help. My sod was out in in such a way that I could not open my gate. I reached out to Zilkia several times and she said she was working on it. After a month, I finally gave up and had to dig up my yard myself to fix what was done wrong.

Overall is a 3 start homebuying experience, house already seen screws on walls, sprinklers had to be adjusted and etc etc.

Viridian is a great neighborhood and community. You pay for that. The designs of the Lennar homes in this community are wonderful and the models show well. Unfortunately, the quality of the build is not what we expected for a home at this price point. We have been working through several warranty items which ultimately could have been non existent if there was a little more attention and higher level craftsmanship in the initial build. Lennar quite frankly needs to hire better contractors that seem to care about the quality of their work. And needs better quality control… interior paint and trim is third rate. The tile install looks great until u see the horrible caulk job around the baseboard through the entire house. Especially when areas were filled with caulk to hide mismeasured cuts in tile. Don’t feel like the install was from a seasoned professional. And things seem to magically change that were different in model and u get zero notifications that things are going to be different that’ll what I saw in model. So many shortcuts taken it just left us disappointed. Warped Blinds, uneven hung valances, sloppy install on Master Bath shower. Should have known better when we visited house during build and saw a pile of empty beer cans and bottles piled up in the front curb. Good News is the warranty team is on point helping get these items addressed. However, doing things right the first time would have saved a lot of stress and hassle and missed work days having to be home for warranty issues. ... More

I think lennar doesn't have an experienced finance/underwriting team.

Was promised a luxury home and Lennar fell short. Website claims all homes come with certain amenities that they didn’t provide, no Ring, no rain gutters, sloppy craftsmanship, paint still on floors even after blue tape walk.

It has been a long hard struggle just getting the house. There were many set backs, which could have been avoided. Now that I am in the house, 2 appliances have failed on me, and it seems that I have to pay for the repair which again, was avoidable. The paint on the walls is so thin that I wiped it off just cleaning a stain on the wall

We bought the model home and it was listed with a pool heater for hot tub and pool. No heater! It’s been two months since we closed. No garage door openers, ceiling fan and light and living room still doesn’t work! Stove good has lights falling out, landscape is old dirty and dying, this is not acceptable. Unhappy customer for sure!

I hired my own inspector prior to buying my home and they found a leak in the evaporator coil in the HVAC. The air coming from the vents was 67 degrees - cool, but not what it should be. Our AC never caught up in the summer and regardless of setpoint, never dropped below 76 inside. I notifed Lennar and they sent some contractor at 5pm who refused to look inside the unit in the attic. I had to hire MY own HVAC company to get a 2nd opinion. Low Nd behold, a massive leak in the evaporator coil. They never fixed it! When I spoke to our account rep, Jessica, she was very unempathtic and kept telling me it's hot outside. That's customer service? Really poor. Chris, her supervisor, also argued with me that it was hot outside but did agree to send the contractor above who proved to be useless. Long story short, and several weeks of arguing with Lennar, I had to show them the videos and report from the company I hired for them to realize I was telling the truth. Lennar does not want to help you. They leave you a phone number under your kitchen sink, and when you call it, they tell you to call your customer care rep. I asked the women on the phone the purpose of this number if she was just going to tell me to call someone else. After our evaporator coil was replaced in the HVAC, the temperature coming from the vents is 56 degrees. You should not be arguing with your home buyers on a new build and force them to PAY someone else for a second opinion. Really disappointed in the service I've received and concered if I have future issues. I have even recommend a friend, Jade, on the same street to buy here. I will no longer be refering anyone else. Also, I have been sent a docusign weeks ago with no explanation as to what it is or why my signature is needed. They just send you documents and expect you to sign. The whole experience almost ruined the excitement of buying our first home. ... More

I’m not happy that I can hear my neighbors through the walls of my townhome. It’s like I’m living my college apartment again. I can hear foot steps, things hit floors, doors closing etc. This tells me that my townhome was either not properly insulated or cheap quality insulation was used. I’ve lived in multiple townhomes, and never had any issues like this. I’m not happy.

We love the area and the home. However, the communication was atrocious. It got to the point where it would take up to two weeks to get a response, and at times we never got an answer to questions we had. Come on Lennar you have to do better than this.

I have not been pleased with this decision.

How does a home that is priced for more than a million dollars not have a duel zoned air conditioner when it has two stories? Why is it necessary to resubmit requests to get the smoke alarms to work correctly? Why is the home delivered with a cracked powder room sink? We just wanted our new home to be new and functional.

Decent value for the money . Read your contract you don't get all what you see in there show houses. Lucky I'm not a lawyer there would probably be a class action suit.

The Customer Care unit doesn't rate even a one star. Closed on July 7 and still waiting on warranty work to be completed two months later. Not one person will follow through on anything.
