Lennar Reviews

Once the contract to purchase was signed it was all downhill from there. My contact onsite never kept the commitments he made to reach out. He and the loan rep at Lennar Mortgage didn't communicate with each other. The loan rep never reached out unless I pestered him. The time and location for the doc signing was arbitrarily set and had to be rearranged at the last minute. After move it there has been many issues - range has gas smell, grading of the landscape causing ponding, doorbell doesn't work, the sprinklers are not set up correctly, and more - none of which has been addressed. The post office didn't even have a record of the property! It has been a mess and that mess is not over yet. ... More

Overall; for the price paid, expected better. No warranty on landscaping, poor quality in trees and lawn; after two weeks of moving in; 80% landscaping had to be replaced. Elevation of backyard was poor; created a swampy mud hole; as far as the home design; no upgrades were available to choose from just a basic package with 3 different exterior designs. Not a fan of the security devices that come with home , so we purchased another brand / vendor. Best to take your time and really compare builders vs value.

The experience we shared with Nancy was unprofessional and could have been handled better. It was not a great experience and would not recommend Lennar to family or friends

It was a smooth process. Everyone involved was great!

I don't know where to begin with this awful journey we had on the home buying process. From lack of communication from the loan processing aspect to the abysmal workmanship done on the house. All I can say is, if you decide to go with Lennar GOOD LUCK AND GET YOUR OWN INSPECTION.

The easiest/best part was interaction with the construction manager Justin. He communicated if there were delays or issues that arose.

The experience was great, I will say if you're in an apartment don't give your 30days until your finally walk though thing can change. But overall, so far everything is going well. Love our new home.

The sales representative and the construction manager are very helpful on keeping me aware of the building process.

The major problems problem was with DocuSign process -- OVERWHELMING! It seemed that a minor change required to go through the process over and over again without seeing the change being highlighted. The third party agencies had little clue of what was going on other than the PROCESS. The last step (NOTARIZING) was a joke. In short, there are just too many departments involved. SUGGESTION -- Have one person assigned to a buyer who would the be the direct liaison between ALL groups involved. Matt was great but limited in interaction with a number of outside parties.

I feel as though once you’re in the home Lennar no longer cares about you because they got your money. Our ac broke a month in. Our customer care rep is so hard to get in touch with. It’s ridiculous

We were told that once Lennar received the certificate of occupancy we had to close shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, there were many items not completed when we moved in 2 weeks after we had closed including gas line not connected to dryer, fridge circuit breaker not holding, pool (which was very expensive) not operational, cabinets not completely in, a water leak coming into the den, and many other punch lists items. Our construction manager has been great in trying to resolve these problems but a lot of it is out of his hands as he has to rely on sub-contractors. Six weeks after our close our pool is just now almost ready, cabinets are still not done, and there are still 1/2 dozen other items on the punch list. The warranty department is doing its best as well in trying to solve these issues but it is all taking quite a bit of time. ... More

Great home, service and support.

Honestly it was one of the most horrible experiences ever done. The buying process was very unprofessional since they keep on changing the closing day and while me and my family already left the place we used to live at. I’m a disabled Veteran so I thought I will be a little easier for me to move into my new house but this was just a nightmare. The house was not even clean, some things were damaged and the response from the inspector is just not working for me so I ended up doing the cleaning and fixing with my wife for over two weeks. I wouldn’t recommend Lennar to any of my fellow Veterans at all. ... More

Lennar homes are a good value overall. We struggled with several delays in closing on our new house, but given current demand for new homes, this is understandable.

I am first home buyer with no knowledge of procedures or process. With Lennar,its simple, easy and transparent. My home consultant Aaron walked me through all phases of construction, right from signing to move-in. I am pleased with the quality and materials. The customer care is very responsive till the issues get closed. I am very happy with my choice of Lennar as "Everything is Included".

Very disappointed in Lennar and the volume of issues needing to be fixed after move-in, including lanai flooding, garage keypad not working, water not connected for dishwasher, sloppy workmanship. The sales rep (not Art) and Oleg (construction manager) did a hasty walk-through prior to close — Oleg was completely disinterested and made offensive remarks about this home not being “custom construction.” The pair essentially lied in telling us the repairs we were requesting would be completed “in the next few weeks.” That was May 5 and many of the repairs are yet to be made as of August 3. It is difficult to understand why Lennar wouldn’t do finishing work correctly, rather than sending out multiple vendors to do repairs. Have also found odd engineering such master bath blinds that operate only on the left side, which requires the homeowner to climb into the soaking tub to adjust/open the blinds — who is going to do that every day? The towel bar is also above the soaking tub, making it unusable, and the kitchen sink does not get hot water unless you run it for at least 5 minutes, and then it is “warm”, not hot. The repair person told me this is due to the tankless water system which does not accommodate the island kitchen sink. We have turned temp up but it is a marginal improvement — not right for a $600+K home. Additionally, the Genie garage door opener apparently cannot be programmed for temporary codes as Liftmasters can be — Liftmaster was listed on the original design sheet for the home, and the Lennar “smart home” kit includes a Liftmaster Ring product, so not sure how one is supposed to connect that to a Genie opener. Also a dead-end from Lennar regarding water run-off from gutters in front of garage that is causing deep holes to fill with water and all the mulch to be washed away. Lennar says the gutters are up to spec and they cannot fix further, but clearly having holes filling with water is an issue. ... More

Purchased house was told I would get touch up paint, never received! Three boxes to replacement tiles, was told to text Nolan did on several occasions never received. Doors painted with semi gloss, touched up with flat paint. We have paint on carpets in bedrooms Just horrible

my sales agent was terrible. closing was a nightmare. very poor communication, no response to emails, no updates. Only positive thing about the whole home buying experience is our customer relationship manager.

From the time we walked into the sales at the model home, our bad experience started. There was nobody there to answer your questions, you have to schedule an appointment to see a sales agent We felt like we have to beg just to schedule an appointment. He took us to a lot and we were impressed with the view the lot has to offer and which made us buy the property. But he did not inform us that a block wall was going to be built and will block the view he was highlighting about this lot. Lennar mortgage offered $6000.00 towards the closing cost, but opt not to go with them. The mortgage officer would not respond to my calls and emails! The delay in construction is not Lennar's fault but their lack of empathy for the buyers is. Our concierge did not inform us of the change of dates of closing which were a lot, I would find this out from our bank! After finally moving in, the sloppiness of the work is all over the house, especially the paint job. There is a lot more to say but I think this is enough. ... More

Overall the experience of this home was extremely disappointing and frustrating. The house was not clean and welcoming when entering a brand new home due to the following discoveries after closing: Damages to the walls, paint left on the floor, grout left on the titles, thermal expansion tank installed incorrectly twice, Green tape left on all of the bedroom doors, blue and green tape peeled off and left on the floor & carpets.Tire marks left on garage floor. the home was not cleaned and prep as promised by Lennar for closing. Many items that were identified during the walkthrough were not addressed. Multiple tickets had to be submitted to correct these issues. Even though some tickets were completed there are still pending tickets to complete many of the items listed above. Just recently discovered construction debris behind kitchen stove, the wall behind the stove still have writing on it from the construction and was not repainted along with the rest of the house, the base board mounding was left incomplete. Closet doors for three of the bedrooms needed to be readjusted, because they were poorly installed. Poor quality of the home, to have the peephole removed from the front door, although the homes were provided with the Ring security system, it would have been better served for safety reason to keep the peephole in the doors considering it’s human nature to look through peephole first before opening your door, instead of having to grab an electronic device to see who is at the door every single time. The time and money used to remove this feature from all doors could have been better spent taking care off some of the key items to completing the construction of the home properly. ... More

Much better experience on build quality than recent purchase of D R Horton.

I love my new home. The experience was very good and the quality of appliances is above average. I would have liked a chance to upgrade to the washing machine used in the single family homes. I did think they could have been better about giving more notice of closing date because I was selling a home at the same time. I also wish I had my own mailbox because I do worry about going over to central boxes in 20 years. The home layout is great and the bathrooms are very nice. Love all the countertop and cabinet space in the kitchen. Some outstanding issues to be resolved but nothing too major. I'd say response to issues is average. I would definitely recommend Lennar as a builder. ... More

I was very pleased working with my loan officer and the seller agent from Lennar, both were polite, guided me through the expectations and requirements in a timely manner. This is my family’s second purchase from Lennar and we will encourage our children to choose them when they are ready to buy.

Overall, we are happy with our home mainly because we love the location and the neighborhood is very safe and quiet. On the other hand, the build quality, in my opinion, is very poor. We have had countless issues after being in our home for only 6 weeks. These include very poor interior paint quality with a total lack of attention to detail. Also, the guest bathroom tile work has to be completely redone due to terrible workmanship. French doors have been replaced due to improper installation and finishing. An outdoor vent cover has come loose and is waiting to be replaced. Then there is the cabinetry throughout the entire home. Absolutely the worst! Cheap, doesn't even begin to describe the quality of the cabinets that we installed in our home. Not a single door or drawer is straight, one cabinet is cracked, hardware is uneven and every single seam needs touched up. Don't get me started on the quality of the dishwasher that was installed... I've seen better in college campus apartments. ... More

Don’t sign off on the day of your walk though. If there are issues to be fixed have them fix it before you sign off. I’m 7 months in an still waiting for them to fix a kitchen drawer that was blue taped the day off walk thru. Costumer service rep dose not care
