Lennar Reviews

Not understanding how they sold my loan to another finance company after I told them before they do that let me know and I will go to my credit union that was very unprofessional once they got the money for the house they didn't care about nothing else

Lennar was very difficult to work with... Many of the documents were incorrect. We did not use Lennar Mortgage or Lennar Title because of the issues. We are still receiving an alert to sign an incorrect document in the portal even though we closed August 23rd. Thankfully, our renter is just moving in this weekend. The final issues were just resolved and our walk-thru was August 5th. We still have a leaky toilet which will be repaired tomorrow.

A lot of promises to get us in the house. No one knows what the right hand is doing through the whole process. Lack of communication with sells people to loan officer to contractors! Signing day shows up and no one from Lennar was there, called them and they said it’s normal for us not to be there for signing day that the title company will walk you through everything you need to know! Promise us some of our closing cost back and said, oh in the middle of your contract the state changed your closing cost and we can’t give you back your money! Should have had an attorney with us!

The finish work on Lennar homes is sloppy and the materials used are cheap. I have had to replace 4 lights in the 4 weeks I have lived in the brand new home because the lights are of poor quality. The front door is already coming apart and the dishwasher has a work order in to be repaired. The upstairs floors pop when walking across them. The materials used in Lennar homes are inexpensive and will not last the life of the home. I will have to spend my own money to replace all of the recessed lights because they are bad quality. These are things that should not be breaking in a brand new home.

Only good experience was the sales consultant. After that it was very bad. At Lennar Mortgage I had numerous different contacts throughout the process, they did not know where the other left it off. Same for home delivery, concierge and other unaccounted number of individuals. You try to make it buying a standardized process with specialized people in for everything. But eventually humans buy your product and they want to be cared for by humans. Your process resembles very much to calling big corporations' customer support line and being handed over to multiple departments through a menu system, never talking to the same person again. This is probably the biggest purchase in their lives so they want to be treated well.... Also the customer expected to work width different systems but nobody tells you when, which to use....It was very difficult to set up mailbox, gate access etc.... Now in the home but still cannot get anyone to answer if a 18 wheeler moving trailer can get to my home.... I have a long list of warranty issues: Just to name a few: Leaking Pool, rusting hardware on sliding doors, not balanced AC, front door jams. Overall material quality is kind of minimum (builder grade). Also some practical issues such as no fold down attic access and very small opening... I recommend to name a single point of contact for each clients who would help them through the process. Also adding few thousand $ to make the home nicer. Like Kitchen counter Backsplash, basic lights in rooms, soft close drawers and !!!properly shelved!!! closets. ... More

I fell in love with the house, but the company was not trustworthy, unhelpful, and does not follow through.

Purchased a brand new home recently. My wife and I moved in and had a list of things that were not finished on the home after closing. Took a month a several phone calls to resolve. Refunds took weeks to issue and several phone calls! Then the biggest issue of all my property was damaged by construction next door after I took possession. No regard for my property at all! Again several phone calls several warranty requests. Even a phone call to horry county police to make sure no one else will be allowed to damage any more of my property. Not miner damage!!!! Also we closed on our house and had to sit in our driveway because nobody meant us there as stated to give us the keys! Had to make several calls and wait two hours!!! The list could go on. I love my home and the community but not who I purchased it from ... More

Get an inspector and make sure Lennar fixes all issues found BEFORE closing. Lennar will find every excuse to not resolve any issues after the deal is done, even with the one year warranty

This was a horrible home purchase experience. It was hard to get a person to call you back. We had to do a virtual closing and it was awful, the first person we called at the Virtual Closing hung up on use when we didn't get connected fast enough. Then we had to find someone at Lennar who could tell how to get back into the Que since this was already paid for by Lennar. We couldn't ask any questions because it was just the notary on the call. Horrible. After we got moved in our air conditioner did not cool! Lennar has you scan a code if you have any problems and that called us back to help us was rude. The air conditioner had a leak in a coil. It took 3 trips from the air conditioning company to finally be repaired. There are a few minor problems in the house but don't want to call and have them fixed due to the unwillingness of the person we had that received the service request not being helpful! ... More

Quality control and workmanship is below avarge and a lot of mistakes.Close on house and had to spend 1500.00 to have tile floors cleaned and not the only one.

Our first homebuyer experience could have been much better had the sales team been much more responsive and kept us up to date on the status of the home. We missed out on the initial home we wanted due to the first sales person, Sheri, not responding to us in a timely manner. The sales person for the 2nd home, Corina, was very friendly once you were able to get ahold of her. After the contract was signed though, we only heard from her if we reached out several times with a question or concern. Even then, we sometimes had to reach out to other people to get an answer. Our closing date was missed as the builder did not provide the necessary items to escrow in a timely manner. We even had to provide documents to the escrow company ourselves as the sales person was not responding to the escrow team. When we picked up our keys we were advised there was an issue with our mail box which was being worked on. We got the run around from the post office and the builder on this issue and had mail and packages returned to sender for several weeks. We had to open a PO Box just be able to get our mail. We eventually got someone high up in the post office to respond to us and stated they had already been in contact with our sales person and was waiting on documents. After many weeks the sales person finally responded with what was needed to get this matter resolved. The home has been great but you can tell some of the construction team rushed thru some items such as the shower not being caulked properly and leaking, brand new lights in the house going out - even though they are supposed to last for many years, needing a new ac compressor after living in the home for only 2 months, the sprinkler system not being set up correctly and many of the plants dying. Although I will say the repairs have been done in a timely manner. ... More

The sales team has completely gone wrong on day1, They gave wrong info on which are basement lots and which are slab homes and completely messed up the sales during 1st week. The Mortgage team communication was worst as they did not give the loan estimates in time and just don't respond to customer calls. The quality of construction is worst and not up to mark of Lennar. Overall Lennar failed to deliver a quality product from sales to finish line!!

The sales rep and other staff members that I worked with including the mortgage staff, were all great and very helpful - They were the best thing about buying here. Unfortunately, my experience was not what I expected. My move in date was 2 months later than I was told which was very disruptive for me and my family to say the least. There were numerous issues when I moved in regarding the workmanship and materials, and I continue to find small things. I contacted the rep who has been very helpful regarding a concern with a hinge on one of the kitchen cabinets and he said he would stop by but he got busy so I reached out a couple of days later and he said we don't usually guarantee the cabinets after 30 - 60 days (when I called I had owned this villa for 6 weeks) he did say he would put a ticket in to have it addressed and he did submit that - I haven't heard from anyone regarding that yet but I am hopeful that this will be taken care of. Yesterday I had the exterminator return because I found a couple of bugs and he said the gap in the weather stripping around my front door is where bugs can get in. I left a text for the customer service rep regarding this but haven't heard back yet. As I said he has been great and very responsive, but we all have a boss, and I think the issues are at the top of leadership in this organization. I have a one-year warranty and will be hiring a building inspector as my one-year anniversary gets closer. I would not be comfortable recommending this builder. ... More

The sales person was not helpful at all, most of the time she doesn't answer back or for the few times she did she was giving wrong information, my new neighbor had the same issue as well. Otherwise some of the floors in the house are not well leveled and also I fund some studs and trush buried under the sod and makes me question the quality of work and not trust your company. One good thing, the QA person who was in the final walk-through inspection was knowledgeable and had a good attitude.

Seems like sales was not interested in our needs; just getting homes off the books. If we were told that they were having a sales event in July, we would have waited. We wanted the Waverly & got the largest home we could afford, the Osprey. We didn't know some of the larger homes may have a bonus room upstairs; didn't know that the there were more homes available other than the models. Would have liked to have brought our pool table, but sold because no room in Osprey. Sales person said when we do a Reverse to Purchase, would only have to put down half as much...LIE...ended up having to put down more. Wasn't told that A/C unit would be in back & outside our bedroom; the models show on the side. Back-flo is right next to it. With the small yards this takes away from our outdoor space. With Capital Gains, we can't move for 2 years. Seems like Lennar doesn't care about the homeowner's quality of life Very disappointed. We have neighbors that feel the same way. ... More

I have always thought highly of Lennar until now. The purchasing experience was very stressful and the whole process was disconnected. The sale agent, Trisha was very unprofessional and stopped all communication with me after I signed the contract to purchase the home. The original finance officer, Sandra transferred me to another finance officer without notice and that is when it became extremely confusing because the numbers changed and there was no clear explanation. Construction team was a hit and miss, some were great; others; not so much. The only team that made it bearable was the customer care staff. They were actually the only people that were professional and willing to assist. ... More

Really a 2.5-2.75 star rating for me. I want to start by saying I really love the community and my home. I have found some of the materials and initial painting to only be so-so. There was some patch work done in our master bathroom that wasn't painted over just before we moved in. Not a huge deal, but as a brand new build you expect perfection and don't expect small projects with your home right out of the gate. I have also noticed the paint on the walls is very easy to scuff and when cleaning seems to strip away very easily. Almost as if their wasn't good priming done first. Same with the baseboards. That brings me to my second point.The fact that the garage door opener was not included, neither was the attic space ladder/closure in the garage. It wasn't disclosed to us before purchasing the home, so be aware you'll have to put in some additional money for that when purchasing one of these new build homes. Not the end of the world, but a bit annoying. The biggest thing that rubbed me the wrong way was how pressured I felt to opt for Lennar financing. I found and went through my own mortgage broker, but looked into the Lennar financing just to see my options. When I decided to stay with my broker I got calls and texts flirting on the line of threats and harassment that my loan might not go through but that their team could secure it. That doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. As I said nothing was straight out threatened but heavily implied. Definitely walking a gray line of my legal rights of freedom to choose financing. Luckily, I moved forward with my broker and had no issues- just as my broker reassured me there wouldn't be. Beware of these tactics as well! Again, I do love the house overall and my community. Just wish a few things had gone a little differently. It will make me cautious on who I purchase from in the future.... ... More

AC thermostat older model no wifi enable no sync need to control manualy each one. No towel hangers in bath. Kitchen counter tops poor quality and thicker than regular size sharp edges. Selling solar but if ask any questions about it your guys reply talk to solar company? Overall quality is poorer than previously built lennar homes. Your mortgage finance team has no time to talk with customer.2 days 3 different decisions for loan aproval..

The material looks cheaper than I thought

Sales disappeared. Grass conditions are bad and customers are left with high water bill to fix dead grass

Poor comms, workmanship, concierge (Nicole) argumentative 11 properties purchased to date; this was the worst experience.

We did not have full disclosure at the time of purchase they tried to make it right but we were past the beginning stages.

The GC (T) was very responsive in all emails UNTIL we met in person and, in our opinion, saw the buyers were a same sex married couple. From that point on he wouldn’t even talk to my husband and I when we had issues. He would only talk past us to the other Lennar associates. He would not even make eye contact and would walk 10ft ahead of us while TRYING to discuss issues. A total of 3 separate offensive interactions. I voiced my issues to the Lennar staff and my realtor about wanting to be done and pull out. Then magically T was artificially friendly and personable. I’m glad I did a 3rd party inspection and additionally did my final walk with a general contractor of my own to address all of his craftsmanship shortcomings and contradict his “within industry standards” BS. This plus the constant follow up with my mortgage guy to supply the documents he said he was going to send, I wouldn’t wish this company on an enemy and fully intend to share my encounter with anyone looking to buy a house. #FHEO ...

Whenever there were questions or needs nobody was there to help. Concierge was useless. Lender left without saying anything before closing. Builders didn't even get permit for solar until after 30 days at closing. Francisco has been the only helpful person

The drywall and painting company are beyond bad and there are many homeowners that are dissatisfied. I have worked in the production building world for 20 years of my 40 and have not experienced the poor quality and lack of professionalism of the drywall/painting company. It is the number 1 topic at all community gatherings. Unfortunately, Lennar spends a lot of money on customer experience and one vendor is giving a bad review of Lennar.
