Lennar Reviews

Thought we would give Lennar a second chance. Only good thing about it was our salesman Cody. We received the home on time but it was filthy. We complained on walk thru but nothing changed. We cleaned it ourselves. Workmanship is below par as well as quality of cabinets, appliances. Disappointing.

We did our walk thru a week before we closed and we came back 3 times in that week and nothing had been done in our walk thru so the day before closing we went to the office and our girl got on the phone and called our project manager and got them to start working on all the things that were wrong. But the morning of the closing we came back and several things were wrong and I feel like we were dismissed on all of them and then you are stuck because you have to go to your closing. We have already had to have the mother board replace in our heating system and we haven’t even lived here a month. But it took 4 visits to get done. Still several things need to be done but just trying to get settled before they fix the things that should have been done before we closed ... More

Like used car salesman, they fast talk you to look over and past their work. The cm had no integrity and did not stand by his word. The Sheetrock was poorly done throughout the entire house and even after a month of work still not right.

Emphasis more on getting the contract signed without proper inspection and taking responsibilities for resolving client's issues. My property had a number of poor finishes and uncompleted snag list of items. This was left for me to arrange post move-in. In addition, I had electrical issues which I was not adequately supported for resolution even though this was a know issue according to the electrical engineer who later fixed the issue. I still have issues to be resolved once I have time to organize it. My experience was a terrible one and would not like it to be repeated.

its not worth for price paid , it is 30% overpriced , flooring and doors also front porch all are bad quality , plats were dead immediate after closing the house , only best thing i can say is my sales man is very responsive and excellent person

it was the worst buying experience of any product I’ve ever bought in my entire life. The only good news is my salesman was perfect and very helpful. Also, the community and the neighbors are very friendly and the clubhouse is nice. Other than that it was the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life. They lie through their teeth over and over again. They do not back up their products and they don’t care about the health or welfare of any of their customers. The only reason you should buy here is because of the price. It is definitely lower than every place else and it’s probably because they have such a poor reputation about their customer service. I am extremely angry and frustrated at this company and if I could, I would walk out of here and get my money back, but my wife would be very upset because she loves it here so I am biting my tongue as much as I can. I have actually been injured because of a bad design refrigerator. They gave me I tore a bicep Muscle Pulling the refrigerator out away from the wall to get the ice tray out because that’s the only way you can get it out and they will not give me a new refrigerator over and under so I can get the ice bucket out without pulling refrigerator out that goes to show you how their customer care And they didn’t even say they were sorry that I have to have surgery on my bicep. What a pitiful laughable disgraceful group of people, Lennar is as a company. ... More

agent is not as responsive. Wish he would make the effort to help with getting the proper house. in the end, we thought we got a good price but just learned similar model is $100K cheaper. Not happy at all!!

Buyer beware - false statements by salespeople, archaic, disorganized and unnecessarily time-intensive requirements that customers deal with way too many emails and multiple online platforms and excessive amounts of conversation with multiple employees in multiple departments, to get anything done. I suspect this is intentional, so that buyers just give up reading and writing emails and talking to way too many employees, and they give in to builder demands. Lots of..."didn't you see that in the fine print?" types of things. And zero accountability from management, which apparently won't even talk to customers, choosing to hide behind their underlings. I would never buy from this builder again. I wish I was aware of all the negative feedback and class action lawsuits against this builder before I acted on the purchase. ... More

Very poor communication Missed promise dates Original close end of August True close end of November Apartment lease ended & after 2 extension had to move out. Lennar Said they would pay for moving & storage of furniture till home completed. Never did

Lennar is primary controlled by Vanguard, Blackrock, and Fidelity. Investment companies, whose goal is to sell as many units at the lowest quality to gain lowest cost to drive up prices of housing. The home we are in is overpriced by $200k for the quality installed.

Staff showed signs of incompetence, lies were told about the readiness of the property, loan officer was a fast talker, and often was delayed in response, closing attorneys were big liars and incompetent, onsite realtors told several small lies ( not Malcom). I’d never go with Lennar again or recommend. Emily is great! Promote her.

Quality is definitely below what we were used to. Previous Lennar home you can see was built with higher standards. Floors squeak everywhere upstairs. Doors are thin as paper. Front door I can see through to the outside barely has weather strip. The wall moves when you pull on one of the sliding glass doors. Dry wall is barely finished. 2nd floor moves when kids run across it.

The home buying experience I had with Lennar was just horrible. It seems like all they care about was me closing as soon as possible. The workmanship for this 340,000 house is so horrible. I am still dealing with issues to this day. I have paint and texture all over my light fixtures, flooring issues, spray paint on my floor. The biggest thing that was so bad was the communication. I have spoken to managers , directors and rude consiglieri’s and it was as if the right had no idea what the left hand was doing. if I had know certain things like the HOA mandatory internet and other things I would NOT have purchased this home. I did believe Lennar to be a great home building company given they are one of the largest in the country, but now I am selling this home as soon as I can. My “ premium “ home is no more than an overpriced spacious poorly built track home. ... More

Thus far I have encountered many issues with construction failures in my new home. Issues such as crooked walls. Missing components. Central air and heating problems. Flooring issues with instalation flaws. No windows screens to save lennar money. Front yard still has installation failures, it appears as if they just went on to the next job and forgot about it. No personal follow up on new home. Last walk through was fast, sign here intial there. In 5min it was done. Never saw or heard from anyone again. I could go on but I won't you get the picture.

Sales agent is awesome, loan officer might be the most unprofessional person I have ever done business with, service request was okay but rigid on time availability and not considering the customer, customer service agents are great but can do a little with empathy, some finishing could have been better and materials installed a little better. Overall, not enough positive to refer someone or even think about future business with the company.

Lennar sales team is very aggressive and compels to sign the purchase agreement within a day. Once an agreement is signed, Sales team do not have complete information of the home features and takes long time to respond to subsequent queries. Asking if there is an EV outlet provision in garage took almost 10 days.I have to remind 5 times over email to request change in purchase solar agreement. Lennar mandates to buy solar battery which do not make it customer obsessed. I have to put 30k cash just for solar. Besides solar installers takes 1plus months to activate solar system. Lennar design -Overall Aluna home is good but there are many places where the builder had cut corners. All secondary bedrooms had only 1 ceiling light common with fan connection. Sliding door to yard do not have provision of screening door. While walking upstairs sound travels quickly everywhere giving a feeling of an old home. There were multiple defects as refrigerator outlet keeps tripping, kitchen fan hood not working, door locks not working, unequal cooling from HVAC which took long time 5/10 days to be fixed. ...

Despite promises and numerous requests, only a few photos were taken during construction. The final inspection was a disaster. The sales person was not present at the final inspection, nor was the construction supervisor (we were informed he had several inspections that were scheduled for the same date/time). Lennar is driven solely by the schedule to close to satisfy upper management directives....work is done with the approach of "it's good enough, let's move on to the next unit". The warranty department is presented with a list of items to correct....items that should not have passed the construction phase. Closing docs needed to be revised several times post-closing....I had selected the Venmo option for any potential refunds, yet refunds were sent by check. ... More

The final walk through was chaotic as the superintendent rushed through many issues. We didn’t have ample time to inspect the major issues and only in out when moving it. But once the problems submitted they were handled in a timely manor.

Did not really have a good experience.

Started out great. Our application and special requirements all sent in to underwriters for review. About two weeks from our closing date, the woman in. Sales contacts us to let us know that they decided to relist our house at a lower price!!!! What the "f"? We were so close to the end of our underwriting, there was no reason to expect we would not close. We worked hard the entire process and did close on the home,on time. We did Not expect to have the house taken from us when we knew we had more time. Plus they listed it for cheaper. Touring new buyers through the house we already accepted. Worried all the traffic through the house might cause some changes in what we approved. (Marks on carpets, walls, hands on doors and drawers, leaving trash). We feel very screwed with this house we fought hard for, completing all requirements on time for original closing date of 11/22. This company lacked the support and trust that we were going to make it happen and close. We did,on time. Annoyed that we were not offered the better prince while they were actively trying to sell the house from under us,Under contract!!!!! The house now had a negative feeling around it, this is very unsettling. We noticed a couple of things in the house that was not completed correctly such as internet wiring. They had to come in to repair as it could not be used other wise. They were there for many hours, so clearly not done right at the beginning and clearly prove that the workers were rushed in the end to get the house complete. I loved this house, but the company had now surrounded the purchase with negative feelings. They made us out to be incapable, with no real apologies and no offer to make it up to us. If they were willing to take $10000 less from a stranger, then why not offer it to the couple working SO hard getting you all the information you had to have. Not very positive about Lennar. Kinda having second thoughts about this purchase .. ... More

We moved in just before Thanksgiving and have had two floods (one due to damaged underground drain and one due to builder installed washer). The warranty process has been slow and tedious. Additionally, I feel like the pre closing inspection process was designed to overlook items. All "cosmetic" matters (paint issues, touch ups, cracks, etc) walk through person says "I have this", then we move in and there are paint issues everywhere, cracks everywhere (eg crown molding, cabinet molding with 1/4" + gaps in several spots). The response I got before closing was "initial walkthrough was the only opportunity you had to identify issues, we won't close with any open issues and we won't address cosmetic matters after closing.". The entire walkthrough process was sneaky at best, unethical at worst. Add to that issues between post office and builder relative to mailbox keys and it has been a suboptimal experience to sta the least. And at each step/complaint the response is essentially - too bad. I would be hard pressed to choose a Lennar product in the future and certainly wouldn't recommend to anyone else because quite frankly I don't trust the process and I am skeptical if the quality is anything above what a far less expensive builder would provide. Add to that a complete lack of empathy (first floor in thanksgiving day, second on Christmas day) and I guess this is just the new business world. ... More

Lennar mortgage officer Tom was quite difficult to work with, After establishing this was my first property and needed various issues explained, at times the answers were borderline rude, left me feeling like an idiot for asking a question he was inferring I should know the answer. Was nice in general conversation but didn't feel the need to explain. I found issues with his work, initially I wanted 20% down. Later to find out that the numbers in his system were showing 18% down and added insurance. He didn't see the need to make corrections and re send the correct figures. I was away from home, out of state for over a month, where I left clear instructions that my real estate agent(family friend) will represent me in my absence. Not one call or email was returned to my real estate agent during that period. As it got to a point, I confronted Tom and said I will not deal directly with him anymore as I feel I am not getting the service/support I need as well as expressing my complete disappointment in the service provided. Lennar concierge Jody Ann was quite confusing at times with not replying to all in thread, omitting information in various emails, causing confusion between myself, my agent and other people in the email threads. I fought for a month before I received an answer about the Flood report survey, and after multiple emails asking for this documentation to acquire home owners insurance, she sent it to Lennar mortgage. Again, more emails, more time, more frustration I acquired what I had been asking for over a month. Finally at closing, They went past their day for closing that THEY made, then wanted to reschedule at a day that didn't suit me. If on my next home I have an option of a Lennar home and ANY other home, I will choose any other builder based off this poor experience. ... More

Financing was easy. Workmanship is the absolute wort. My Brand New home was not detailed at all. My stove I was told it was on when they did their inspection it was UNPLUGGED. My flooring was put together with bits and pieces. Lots of little pieces landscaping cheap only 20 feet of sod when I have at least 50 feet needed to cover yard. Big gaps that my dog got out under the gate. I didn’t realize how small the door entry to the bathrooms are my walker doesn’t fit through the door. Bee nest in my garage it’s my problem. I just moved in. I’m allergic to bees No upgrade center. You pay HOA fees even though the pool is not ready the workout area is not ready but you can pay every month that it’s incomplete. Would I buy again from Lennar. No. I would not. Buyer beware. ... More

My purchase was initially scheduled to close on November 8. I was finally able to move in on November 13. I had to stay in a hotel for two nights, but new clothes because all of mine were packed. I also had to pay the mover storage fees. My sales agent was off on the original closing date and could not be reached. She never informed me the house would not close on November 8. In addition, she failed to put the title in a trust as instructed. On November 8, I scheduled an appointment with Comcast to install my internet. I went to the sales office to get a key to let the installer in but they wouldn’t allow it saying I didn’t own the house. I met with the finance guy two months before the close and he preapproved me. He never told me there were any problems until a week before the close and then began to barrage me with requests for more information, including requirements to get automatic withdrawals from my retirement accounts which, of course, take several days to set up. In short, my sales experience with Lennar was horrendous. They failed to properly title the house, treated me like a vagrant, were unavailable at crucial times. I love the house but Lennar sales and finance leave a lot to be desired. ... More

It seems that they were trying to get the work done to sell the house. The workman ship was very poor. We had to walk this home 3 time and items were not addressed as of our purchase date. Items still need to be addressed with us living here. The door opening from the outside and the hinges on the outside of the door is very unsafe as well. Someone could just knock the hinges off and come into the home.
