Lennar Reviews

The buying process was made easy by my sales rep Dion. He embodies the best of Lennar home buying expierience.

The quality on the finish was not good at all. We are still trying to get things completed 2 months later.

This is my third Lennar Home, the loan process is not that great. And the overall experience is satisfactory.

A lot wrong after closing. Rushed to close then slow to fix problems

Sales and initial communication was great. Quality of workmanship was average. Some good items in the house and some cheap items. More effort on cleanup before move in would help. Fixing the problems is taking a long time (or maybe they will never be fixed?).

Of course there may be a few items that need fixed after closing and Lennar is extremely attentive and timely in completing the needed repairs. Quality for type of home is excellent!

This builder builds nice structured homes with a really beautiful design, Very comfortable and cozy.

The builder uses low quality trades, makes numerous mistakes, and hires staff with no relevant construction experience. They fail to keep their word on basically everything, workers do not show up when scheduled, and, overall, Lennar is the McDonald’s of buying a house. Absolute garbage.

Our consultant was great, keeping us up to date on progress, construction manager very timely, Lennar Mortgage was great to work with.

From sales to closing to customers care service after closing, all the people that work here has great customer service. They are personable, attentive and responsive. First of all, I do appreciate that the house came with extra perks that I didn’t expect or known not to be included if you would be buying a custom home, like blinds and tech package is awesome. The different packages and layout is very thoughtful. I can’t wait for the community to be fully finish with amenities. It may be my particular home and I don’t know about the other homes, I expected the physical manifestations of the home to be just as great as I got from the other services. All are builders grade, which I understand the affordability, but the finishes are very cheap. I have had to make numerous call with fixes and it keep growing as I continue to live in the house and find more things. There’s no perfect house but I didn’t expect to have to report some basic fixes on brand new house. Overall, this is a great starter home, great alternative to fighting the cash offer bidding wars. ... More

Great overall experience took us 3 weeks to close

First our closing process was the most stressful and unprofessional as you can experience. Pushed , delayed, communication was poor and even threatened to lose our house . Wouldn't lock us in till 2 weeks before close with very little notice , tried to jack our rates up . Building process was same , using subcontractors with poor work inside and out. And been a nightmare getting fixed , tried to force DocuSign without completing work. NOT EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED as lennar states, they changed our wall color with no choice but accept. No warranty for landscaping at all , paint is sloppy , blisters and knots in walls that they will not fix . Grout all over bathrooms cabinets. Do not trust this company and many neighbors are saying the same thing. Very poor sloppy work. Worst builders I have ever experienced with. Please do not go with a lennar home there is a 65% chance you definitely will have problems from the beginning. ... More

This was and continues to be a bad experience. The construction quality is embarasingly bad. The customer services is unprofessional and helpful. Lennar "takes the money and runs".

We bought this house for a family member. There were so many issues with it at the walk through we were told by their foreman Jake that it could take weeks to get it finished. I explained to Jake, Ray, the salesman and the person at the walk through that since we lived out of town we would require 72 hours notice to plan a trip back to do the final walk through before closing. The closing was scheduled for less than a week away. They all said ok, we understand. Fast forward a few days and we are told that even if they don't get anything done inside the house we would be closing on the specified day and they would just address the issues under warranty. I was not happy with that option but I was told that I would be held in default of the contract and lose my $50k+deposit even though they weren't done, if we didnt close when they wanted. The upstairs closet door actually opens into another door and uses the other door frame is its door stop. Terrible design there and the same for the office door downstairs Jake, the construction foreman is extremely rude. Horrible people, horrible company. So sorry to have met them. ... More

I knew going in the house for the money is good workmeship not so good moldings sloppy doors don't fit properly, hoa rules to many restriction neighborhood is very nice.

Be aware of all the corners they are now cutting.

For a home that was over 1/2 a million dollars, the quality and craftsmanship were not there. Things never added up to what the builder was thinking from the landscaping (who puts really big trees right next to one's house and expects there not to be a problem 10 years down the road), Even the kitchen looked like someone brought in a bathroom with the subway tile backsplash in which we asked not to be put in. The outside of our home is not painted in the proper color scheme as indicated in the design plans. The master bathroom shower has a small shower head on one side of the shower and 80+ inches on the other wall is the shower bench in which the water from the shower head never reaches the bench. The shower door in the master bathroom lacks sealant and water goes all over the floor. The Master bathroom has Cabinet Shells but nothing inside and no way to organize the things that might go under the sink. Laundry room lacks functionality as the cabinets are too small. The Kitchen Sink was a single stainless steel sink 14 1/2" by 22"....could not even put a big pot into it and lacked functionality of a normal sink. Overall closet space is very limited. For a new house, I expected to pay a bit to add my family touch to it but 25,000 to sink in is a bit ridiculous as I had to remove the bathroom from the kitchen (got rid of the white subway tile, removed all carpet and put in tile, Cut the white quartz counter top to accommodate a bigger sink that provides functionality. Installed a Shower Panel to get water flow to the bench (barely gets there but 1billion % better than the small shower head. Still waiting to properly fix the color scheme of the house. Have to pay someone and ask HOA for permission to remove the soon to be big trees from the house all together to prevent problems with foundation and/or sprinkler system. Sigh...the list keeps growing and I just am left asking Whomever designed this home and layout must have been higher than high. ... More

After the deposit was given, There were no changes/addition's allowed to the house.

There have been multiple issues with my home buying purchase from the Lennar mortgage all the way to the construction team that still over two months after closing has not completed the punch list or things that need to be addressed. The customer service has been terrible. I wouldn’t recommend ever buying a home from Lennar.

The house closed 3 months after we were originally supposed to because of building delays. But we are very happy overall.

We were living far from the home as it was being built and Lennar kept us updated and sent photos of the building process every week. The home is well built, things that needed attention were handled quickly, Everything is working great.

Process was smooth and fast

I believe the builder are good people. Just to much work in a short time. When your moving fast you make mistakes. Service after the sale is everything, at present the response times on painting and repairs are slow. I hope we get all of our punch list taken care of as some are big. Hoping for the best that we are able to get them completed. Note, the walk way down to the lake is to steep and not wide enough for two golf carts. This is dangerous and does not make sense for a 55 over community. This need immediate attention before someone gets injured. Question how often have you used this builder? Is this the first build with this builder? How many years has this builder been in business? Based on seeing the lack of results and poor workmanship I’m concerned for my purchase. Still hoping it works out. Please help. Thanks for the time. ... More

I was provided a list of inclusions that were inaccurate, several items were not included. I am confused by the everything included tagline because I see that everything is only included if you are an investor. Ironically the items I was told you can’t get were included on the investor homes. Also, I have had two warranty requests and although I was told everything would be repaired only a couple things have been with no word on the other items. It appears employee turnover is part of the problem.

Lennar uses limited flexibility in options/changes approach to hold schedules tightly. That's good thing as you know it up front. On the downside, our house required significant effort to make it livable due to Lennar cost cutting : no towel racks, inadequate closet hardware, no light fixtures, etc. We had several minor quality issues, all of which were quickly fixed with the help of the Lennar customer support rep. And the "smart" home features are really nice!
