Lennar Reviews

Make sure all issues are resolved prior to closing, because once you close issues are never resolved. Also make sure they clean inside and outside before you close. Pay attention to detail because painters are sloppy.

During our home buying process we were met with nothing but difficulties in communication. My wife was due to deliver our first child and we needed the closing date moved to a later date. Every request was denied. Only after reminding the sales team of federal protections around medical conditions did they move the date….. one week back. During the walk-through, we found many issues with Sheetrock finish work, and even one wall was 4 inches out of plumb. The work quality on the construction displays the lack of care from the builders. After one full month of being in the home we have found more than a dozen nail pops that we have been told they will not repair. We’ve had a plumbing failure that took a week to repair. We a number of floor squeaks that have been assessed but no one has come to make repairs. Customer service comes second to making a profit. Poor, poor, poor customer service. I would not recommend Lennar to anyone. The only reason we did not back out of the purchase was because we were old have lost our deposit. ... More

Changes are made to the house without telling the buyer.

building materials aren't very good. Outside looks horrible - land swap

We paid extra $27000 for the view because we live uphill. Now the house behind us block our view. Very disappointing. If we had known that our view had been block, we would not buy this house.

Lack of Attention To Detail and Cheap Materials

We chose Lennar over other builders in the area for a few reasons. We loved the upgrades and features that came with the home, the larger lot size, and community. Since moving in we have had numerous warranty issues that have had zero follow up on. Our back yard is completely flooded from poor landscaping. All of the sod we paid for is ruined. In addition our houses is the only house without trim painted. We have been told that is “the way we planned it” but the house looks incomplete. We like the location and community but I wish a little more time and attention went into the house. ... More

I've had to call a repair person out 3x. Where both toilets were not tightened. The dryer wasn't connected. Still haven't filled in the holes in the cement for the driveway.

Overall quality is OK, but we had some bad experience with HVAC Furnace keep on troubling after closing and delivered bad quality of Landscaping while closing the home, no proper caring of the Landscaping by Lennar homes, and also observed some electrical ceiling lights design issues, even not addressed by Lennar, Lennar team is responding well before closing, once closed your home, construction team is not that much of responsiveness with home buyer. so i had mixed feeling of home buying experience with Lennar. Thanks!

Finishing the new home isn’t good. Lot of stains left behind

The overall experience wasn't all bad, but it wasn't up to my expectations. The garage in the home shouldn't be called a double-sized car garage space. In the garage, only one car fits. There was a water leak in the main line of the home, which they fixed in 24 hours but never fixed the landscape on the property. Also, I had to pay for the water bill because the letter that Lennar gave me for the bill didn't work. Nails are sticking out of the carpet, and the house was not being fully cleaned before closing. We bought our home out of state and never saw the property in person until we arrived. Please don't depend on an individual showing your home on video; it doesn't work.  ... More

Pay attention to wall lots of touch up needed. Preferred loan officer was hard to get hold off

Hasn't even been a month, but a water pipe burst and flooded the first floor and dragging your feet to fix it, unless I email and complain about it. Probably should not send out mass "rate us," emails before checking the recipients, but here you go

Concrete sidewalk poured 2 hours before heavy rain. Sod not staked down and all moved during rain. Dead tree planted in backyard. Ants everywhere inside. No one from Lennar cares to make it right.

It was not pleasant. Overall disappointed in the process and trust me, I’ve done this many times. I will say that warranty has been much better than the sales, mortgage and construction.

Once items were not resolved on the punch list we were passed to many different individuals and did not appear it was any one specific individual's job to resolve the house to get us to close. Do not recommend the mortgage team for the same reason. I would not purchase through Lennar again based on this experience.

First off. Praise the Lord for this home. Tbh my ratings are probably low because of the TERRIBLE experience we had with the lady salesperson. Worst Communication Ever!!!. She closed the deal and was almost impossible to reach after that. We also went with another lender because of almost as bad finance communication. But… the pre sale walk thru guy was awesome! And. The warranty guy has been great so far!

Here are the list of issues we noticed within a month. 1. Sump pump outlet is not clued and after first rain, water leaked in basement. 2. Patio door and net are not installed properly. Even after fixing it, it is not smooth to open and close. 3. There is no power outlet is island. 4. 4 door having opening and closing issues. It is hard and giving sound when opening and closing. My kid is having trouble to open bathroom in living floor and we have to stay outside every time. 5. The walkway between main door and driveway is not in same level of driveway which makes kids to fell every time. This might be bigger problem in winter :( ... More

Lennar not offering their standard home offers. They are taking advantage of the buyers in this area because the homes are needed. Quick builds, unskilled laborers making big mistakes and not fixing. Forcing warranty repairs immediately after closing because these workers do not do their best. Houses are way over priced for materials and quality of work done. Work sites are a mess, constant garbage and debris.

Poor quality of the general construction material of the house and the trees are installed too close to the structure of the house, causing the concrete to break in future years and also the concrete they use is very poor quality than the entrance floor of the house, garage breaks down in the first days of living in the house and also the HOA is very expensive $ 90 a month, they offer absolutely nothing.We do not have swimming pools or a place to exercise to justify such an expensive payment.

We were handed over hose without drive way , without landscaping , it is 2 months now , still not complete, basic work, few electric outlets. , floor uneven , poor floor carpets, no vanity lights in bathrooms or drive way, space between garage door and floor , no back slash

Was all good during the sale process but sales department was extremely disappointing after the sale didn't even acknowledge my business! Never heard from sales department again ! And a ton of issues after I closed they obviously want your money then disappear their goal is get you in and fix all the problems later not a good business model i love my neighborhood and the amenities but extremely dissatisfied with lennar

Overall, the Lennar home includes several nice upgrades, but they will NOT add a thing, even if you are willing to pay for it. This is very frustrating. Secondly - and buyer beware on this - warranty service has been a nightmare. There is very little follow up once a warranty ticket has been initiated. The reps do not respond to e-mails or voice mails. Vendor appointments are missed completely with no warning or explanation. Other times, vendors arrive only to advise that the wrong part has been ordered, or that they are not authorized to make the repair corrected. Thirdly, on more than one occasion, I have been told that my issue is "a design item, not a warranty item" even though the "design" has resulted in mis-placed plumbing or lighting fixtures, or, in the case of the bathrooms, lighting that is not present at all due to a decision to eliminate vanity lighting in the homes. (How fun to try to shave at a dimly lit sink all the while getting soaked because the faucet oversprays.) All and all, buying a Lennar home is ok, as long as you have another $5-10,000 in your pocket to add lighting, replace faucets, etc. But if you truly want your home to be complete when you buy it, keep looking. ...

I feel that what I saw in the model home was not what they finally gave me. The doors and wooden frames have terrible finishes, with holes and paint spilled on them. The solution they have given me is that they send painters to try to disguise it as if they were fixing up an old house; When the real solution is that they had to replace those pieces of wood in poor condition, I think that this particular house did not have a good construction supervisor.

Where should I start, the construction manager promised to complete several jobs and did not. They forgot to turn on the water to the fridge and had to wait for service. The person that installed the dishwasher, left the cap in the tubing and caused water to flood and backup in the dishwasher. Had to wait to have that serviced. Had to replace the carpeting due to have a sinus reaction, to find out the flooring underneath was un-level and had to pay to have concrete lay down. Now, the AC breaker keeps tripping and I come home to a muggy hot house.
