Lennar Reviews

Michael was our sales person. Amazing experience. Professional and accurate execution. Lennar Mortage…was almost perfect but they didn’t pay all of the HOA yet so we are having to be the middle man for it. Warranty after the buy…big ZERO. I’ll just go straight to the big one: neighbor had drainage issue in backyard, James from warranty told her she needed a french drain (she did not, it hasn’t rained), Lennar hired a sub contracted party to install this drain. (what appeared to be) a non licensed non certified irrigation professional). These guys broke my neighbors irrigation in back yard…ran that French drain through my property breaking my irrigation lines running it along my sprinklers so now that water goes directly in the drain which then drains into a hole in my front yard where all our electrical is for me and my neighbor. The worst part…the tried to pit me against my neighbor saying it was an issue for me and my neighbor to work out. Four days later now after I discovered the drain (it was installed three day prior to this) I HAVE GOT INE MESSAGE FROM WARRANTY FOR DAMAGING MY PROPERTY. No apology, no nothing…message said warranty manager was gonna come look at it yesterday. Contacted me? Nope. So today I’ll be filing a police report on them damaging my property. Hope the CEO or someone important reads this cus this is insane to me. Thanks. ... More

We had a house already with Lennar that was great quality and a great buying experience. We chose to upgrade and it has led to a great deal of disappointment although the house is exactly what we want. The amount of sloppy work that was done is highly disappointing. What was even more disappointing was being charged $16,000 for delaying a closing when the house was done earlier than anticipated and yet almost nothing on our punchlist was completed. We are now we are having to open warranty tickets for punch list items, have our workdays disrupted when all of this could’ve been done off our punchlist prior to closing on the house. The house sat empty for 3 months and punchlist items were barely touched. It seems strange to me that the house was done 2 1/2 months early, we paid an inspector to come walk through with us, we provided a punchlist of items to be fixed and yet we were pushed to close, charged when we didn’t and nothing was done. My workday is now continually disrupted, and I’m having to restart efforts that require my attention at work because of the disruption. ... More

I have a villa on Gable Dig loop. The single car garage could have been bigger. Drive way could have been bigger. Few guest parking spot could have been done for villa owner.its a 55+ community. No one would like to go to clubhouse to park the car for guest in Florida’s hot weather. Still builder can help building few guest parking spots on every street. These looks small issues but it’s not for 55+ people.

THEY DELIVERED THE HOUSE TO ME WITH PROBLEMS, AND IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO SOLVE THEM AFTER A LOT OF CHARGING.

Lennar has been pushing for closing homes before they are completed. Quality controls are suboptimal. I will list issues that we encountered after closing. We were not provided keys to the front door for almost 4-weeks after closing. Door locks had to be replaced on Patio doors because the provided keys did not work on them. The Mater bathroom toilet, sinks and showers were blocked and needed plumbing work. The HVAC need work because Freon was low and the vents were not properly opened. The crown moulding had gaps that needed fixing. Multiple Cabinets had chips that needed replacement. Doors and walls has areas that needed coats of paint. Stucco missing in areas of patio walls, Baffles on Roof Vents missing.Outdoor light was crooked and needed straightening. Landscaping - outside tree is bending, and Neither Lennar or the HOA will take responsibility to fix the problem. Quality of appliances and materials used is poor. Each item requires tickets and takes time and waiting to get fixed. We are not the only ones who have had problems on our street. Lennar has fixed some of these issues under warranty but it requires persistent and perseverance. ... More

It was mediocre at best

Disappointed in the quality of the work. No attention to details

As a first-time homebuyer, my experience was generally positive with some areas for improvement. The initial stages were particularly impressive, and I appreciated the appeal of moving into a brand-new neighborhood, especially with the attractive incentives offered. The house is charming and provides a solid foundation that can be customized to fit my preferences. However, the quality of the work could benefit from some enhancements. During the blue tape inspection, it was evident that the home had a basic finish. I would recommend that other first-time homebuyers explore various builders to ensure they find the best fit for their needs, as there are many options available. ... More

It was overall good. The only thing I didn’t really appreciate was the home loan officer that I worked with, who was very unresponsive and difficult to deal with. Not helpful at all, especially as a first time homebuyer, the loan officer made it such an unpleasant experience. During the home celebration/inspection, we found a few paint that needed to be addressed and I was promised that we can ask for some paint after we fully moved in. Now that we’re all moved in for a month now, they’re saying they can’t give us any paint as it is a state law.

Felt like the issues never got resolved and it was rushed just trying to close us on the house there’s lots of screwed up things that’s should of got fixed and now I have to do warranty work for all of it instead of it just getting done right the first time I don’t roll like that and I find it unacceptable when other people do

Honeywell thermostat & Ranni water heater are not connecting with app or button devices, I was told that Lennar stop providing the devices to make such connections.

Financing was a nightmare

The buying experience went well. The issues we are having is post close follow up and quickly resolving our issues instead of making excuses of why not.

I pay extra for this lot , thinking offers privacy but the lot is full off low quality clay dirt. So its useles nothing can be planted on it when it rain takes long to drain ,when its dry is hard like rock and crack..

Would never purchase another home from them ! Poor workmanship and very cheap materials !

Our sales rep Ashley was awesome but after we got into the process we were hit with so many websites and “individuals” in charge. Most never contacted us or just sent another thing to do, no consistency. Was never asked or consulted on my interest rate or points. The day of our celebratory ( not sure what that means-in other new homes the team showed up and usually had a welcome gift) walk thru the whole company was in a meeting. We had issues and nobody called back. The garage has nails sticking in the garage from the outside. First thing that happened my grandson brushed up against the wall and tore his shirt. The downstairs bathroom construction looked like it was constructed incorrectly. They juryrigged it to close escrow now I need to file a warranty. The loan was sold to someone the day after we closed. Never heard from that new lender. Sent a note to Raegan on what to do she said pay the coupon to Lennar. This week I get a past due notice, different lender, still no introductory letter from the new new mortgage co saying I’m late. I explained that we paid the first payment to Lennar but she said I had to chase that myself. Called Raegan again and asked her to help or pass me to get help. No response. Lastly we purchased this thru a trust. Why then did another sales person know that info about us when my husband went to look at another Lennar development??? I would hope individuals in your company are not gossiping about people they are selling to???? ... More

The craftsmanship is very poor. House left a mess and many simple issues that should have never had to be dealt with. Need to improve on quality control.

The materials used do not match the price point of the house. It’s across the entire neighborhood. From the house materials, to the inside, to the outside. Here is an example that is almost laughable. The sod they installed was found to be Bermuda grass that was over-seeded with Rye grass It looks awful to say it nicely. They tried to tell us it was because we allowed weeds to grow, multiple landscapers said they were wrong and trying to cover their tracks. They figured it out at some point because the newer houses have lovely Bermuda. Some are more unfortunate than me - their yard is half over-seeded rye and have nice Bermuda. It is laughable (I have to laugh or I’ll cry) I’m surprised they allow people to tour our neighborhood. Another example - the corner cabinet shelves are too big for the space. They literally cannot sit on the holders correctly. The manager “fixed” it by taking a holder out and HITTING the cabinet into place. I can’t move them… Ugh, the paint job around the house. I just can’t keep going - the stories are too long and seem unbelievable. ... More

During the buying experience I was displease to be told by my salesperson, Michael that i could not choose anything with regards to my home to include the lot and that I had to take what was given to me. In addition I requested a water view and was told that the remaining homes were sold and that wasnt true. On my first walkthrough with David he suggested that I ask my salesperson about rebates for my home and Mike told me he had no help for rme. Finally during my final walk through with Derrick the intrusion detector/sensor was discovered to not have been installed and he said he would have someone come take care of it but never did. Three weeks after my settlement date my garage door stopped working and I notified Derrick. He stated he would have a construction manage stop by to look at it and after two reminders he never sent anyone. ... More

I’ve noticed some of the door panels and sinks are chipped and our bathtub was clogged but Lennar fixed the bathtub

Very disappointed with lot grading! When picked out the lot was a nice flat lot. Never did Lennar show us the topography map. Now we have a patio with a very steep fall off! Not happy!

If you buy a home here, be prepared to spend additional money outside of the purchase price for upgrades. We hired contractors to replace the standard rack pantry shelves with wooden shelving. Also hired a contractor to paint the entire inside to replace the flat paint job with satin paint. Also hired a contractor to replace the standard tub in the guest bath with a soaker tub. The homes are all spec homes so you can't customize anything. The upgrades we added weren't necessary, but we wanted our new home to sparkle. Finally, if you are financing, I advise against using Lennar mortgage. It was a very frustrating experience for us with poor communication, lack of response to questions and a week's delay in the closing. Find another trusted bank or mortgage lender. ... More

It was a Blessing in disguise

Sales rep was very suspect. Construction supervisor was fantastic !

Best buy for the money. Both the house and loan. However, make no mistake, that price comes at a cost. The processes and policies have very little flexibility. Either you are on the Lennar train or you are out. I caution buyers to read earnest money agreement carefully, as it is not the industry standard and you will be held to what is in there.
