Lennar Reviews

I have a good experience with Lennar , they have a good customer service.my new house foundation is well done .the house is so energy efficient but so expensive on the current market

Lennar is the best builder!

I had very good experience throughout closing

My mom purchased this house because she wanted something brand new, not old and in need of work. The house is nothing fancy, but solid.

Constantly finding stuff wrong with my home. Submitted issues for two months and still unresolved. They rushed the close, the house was not livable for the close and they forced us to close. I am unhappy with the quality of workmanship… everything seems rushed and messy.

Good builder. Building a home is stressful no matter what. Builder was responsive and always willing to ensure customer is happy.

It was so stressful and so frustrating experience buying a home with Lennar. I’m not sure it’s in this area itself or from others areas too. I had experienced a lot of hidden things and responses from teams are horrible and construction is not good as other builders. I did mistake buying this home please don’t fall in the trap! No parking HOA sucks there won’t be any follow up in the issues you raised and no one cares once you buy home!!! Again I will take complete responsibility of my mistake which I have done in my life and if anyone read this don’t just look at the brand. Also club house will be ready by 2023 still pay fees for it lol. Think before you buy from metro walk by Lennar. ... More

Build quality is average. Sales team, lender, title, and insurance were professional but first-time buyers may find their communication rather reactive. Those who’ve bought new builds should find it efficient however. Lender rates weren’t the best but offset by Builder closing incentives.

Make sure you get everything done and repaired BEFORE closing. they are very helpful fixing everything but after you take possession on the home they take their time to fix or can tell you that is not covered on the warranty.

Homebuilder has been very responsive to our areas of concern.

The walk through was rescheduled several times with the promised that once the final walk through took place everything would be perfect. That was the biggest lie, when we finally did the walk through the house was very dirty. The floors were scratched window broken. The dry wall had nails showing they try covering everything by either putting silicone or spackle. The doors still don’t work and still getting the run around as to who’s going to fix them. The day we were schedule to closed we were told by the Lennar financing that the home was appraised $20 K from what we pay for. We really expected for this process to be a smooth but it was the opposite. We will not be recommending Lennar to none of our friends or relatives. ... More

I liked the Lennar staff that I dealt with during this process. A couple things of note: 1. The "everything's included" concept is pretty nice but was disappointed in some parts of the execution. Pros: no stressful process of picking out finishes. Some nice features I would not have had otherwise like the gas fireplace and flex room (my office). Cons: All finishes/colors very neutral and not much character (I understand why they do this). Poor materials in some cases with no option to upgrade (cheap carpet and paint, painted door hinges and crack and pop when opening/closing doors). Strange decisions on things not included (water softener - who doesn't need one?, not finishing the drywall in the garage - it is half complete anyway to meet city code). 2. My two warranty requests were fairly unsatisfactory. One simple request to adjust doors that would not close took two visits to complete. One major request to fix a cracked sump line was closed without fixing the issue. A third party made the repair - very disappointing. 3. Using Lennar Mortgage was a pain. Daily emails with information that was not essential in many cases. Difficult to keep things straight. Need to streamline communication. ... More

Should understand and respect buyers more

Pamela and Greg are awesome!

Very responsive to your needs

Frequently asked your sakes consultant and/or construction manager to walk you through the home, so you can address poor workmanship immediately!

Now that we are in our home, we are discovering poor quality throughout our entire home.

I had a horrible experience with Lennar. The communication was horrible. I received "update" emails for the building process but, it was not correct. The building process was about 2 weeks behind from what the emails were saying was done/ to be done that week. During the scheduled "closing" week, I received communication from the Lennar team threatening to cancel the contract because I was not using their Lender. THE HOUSE WAS NOT CLOSE TO FINISH at the time of. They expected us to do a walk-through of an unfinished house that did not even have power or water running. They even forgot to install a window. I had to notify them of this error. Once the house was completely finished almost two weeks later, the house looked great, but I definitely would not rebuy with this builder. 4/10 would recommend. ... More

Mike was very helpful with the process, and made things easy to understand.

The entire process - home buying, mortgage, orientation, closing and follow ups has been amazing. We really loved and continue to enjoy working with Lisa, Anita and Ed!

The sales process was easy. Lennar mortgage needs improvement. So many repetitive disclosures and multiple times submitting documents when they are clearly on the site. Then, we didn't have the scheduled walk-though at stud stage and another later before the two week before closing walk-through. It was noted that Lennar doesn't like to close a house at this stage of the build but they pushed ahead anyway. The anxiety of not being able to close since there were no appliances until the day before closing was enormous. I don't know why you bother putting appliances in that are low grade and not let the buyer choose. There are several items that were not finished before I took possession that are on "the list". We'll see how responsive Lennar is at this stage. Mostly, the experience was not horrible. It could use some improvement. ... More

I would recommend that new home buyers visit these homes while under construction to view their lack of quality.

Overall great experience! Everyone in Lennar’s team have so kind and helpful :)

Lennar does a good job of informing you of the home buying experience: no changes, no alterations, no need to haggle over additions, etc. You get a walk through of the model home which was mostly, but not totally, identical to the finishings and workmanship of your soon to be home. The selling agent was very friendly, knowledgeable and overall helpful through the process. The mortgage agent, although we didn't end up going with them because of other issues, was quite good and would even consider using them in the future. The construction manager was rude, but has an understandably hard job. However, the construction of the home was difficult to watch, from preroof all the way through completion. The "rough it" crews, sure are rough. The workmanship and quality of framing was subpar and I know this is a "builder" quality home, but just know that it REALLY is. No getting around that. The plumbers and electricans make quick drills through the house to run electrical and plumbing often leaving behind mistakes that get corrected with 10 or more stud guards. When these issues are pointed out the standard answer will be "this is all passes inspections". If you know this going in, it's still hard to see. You want your home to be perfect and although you're not seeing these things when it's finished, you know they are there. The drywall and finishings are fine, but very cheap. The trim was embarrassingly small for the size of the home, the appliances are lower end and the lighting is basic. The wall color wasn't our taste. I think Lennar should improve on the styling and design of fixtures etc. They don't have to spend a lot to get something more modern and in taste. But again, we knew all this when we purchased, it was still hard to stomach even though we knew about it. Overall, it really is a 2 star. Not absolutely terrible, probably a good purchase, but hard to stomach when you're paying thousands of dollars to change basic things that could have been changed during the building process. I think if they invested only 10% more in the design of the home and allowed some small changes on our dime, like wall color and cabinet color, allowing us to insulate the garage, etc. it would have made the experience at least one star if not two better. ...

Lennar has separated its self from the other builders. The quality of their homes is top notch. “Upgrades” that cost tens of thousands more with other builders are Included with Lennar. I highly recommend Lennar to anyone looking for a home.
