Lennar Reviews

We have had solar not working and it’s been 6weeks. Nothing has been done from Lennar to help us with this. It’s been a frustrating experience

Our sales person, Dylan was fantastic. We liked him and he was (and still is) very responsive to any questions or concerns. If I were rating just him alone I would say we had a very good experience. Lennar is a large builder and by all accounts should have their building process down now like a well oiled machine. They are, however, building these homes way too fast without a real attention to detail. Also, when issues are noted they are not addressing them while the work is being completed. It appears that they are just letting the issues slide in hopes that the new homeowner will not hold them accountable. Prior to moving in we had a walkthrough that should have only taken about an hour and at 3 1/2 hours I had to rush because of a work meeting. This was also the 2nd walk through of this home, so many of the issues we say were from the prior buyer that had not yet been addressed. They completed most of the repairs, but not all before our closing, and they were not completed with any quality. Instead they just threw some half assed workmanship and called it good. When we moved in you notice just little things that when added all together give you a negative feeling about their building practices. This is obviously all dependent on the Construction Managers and how they hold the subs accountable for the poor workmanship that they are seeing. When I talked with the Construction Manager about a problem we were having with our home I outlined the process that should have been followed to address and issue and his response was "that's not going to happen that way", to which I responded well it should. This is the single reason for the rating I have given. For the money you spend you should not be having any of the issues that we see in our home and many of the other homes around us. Overall I have had very positive interactions with the warranty people, Jesse and Arica. However, I have had way too many interactions already with them as our home was finished in June of 2022. Overall, I would give them a good rating if it was just dependent on them. Not sure that we would buy another home from Lennar without first seeing if they have fixed the issues with poor workmanship. We love the floor plan and the neighborhood. I just hope this home is still standing in 25 years. ... More

One do not use lennar mortgage they are terrible!!!! I know they say you'll save money that way, but your sanity will pay for it!!! The overall build wasn't bad, but their tile contractor did a terrible job in the master shower. You can't even drive a uhaul no matter the size onto the driveway because the concrete is so thin!! They didn't put a man door in the garage and to close off the garage even more they put the big ol tankless hot water heater on the inside!! Terrible idea!! This is the last lennar home I will buy ever!!!

Honestly it was one of the most horrible experiences ever done. The buying process was very unprofessional since they keep on changing the closing day and while me and my family already left the place we used to live at. I’m a disabled Veteran so I thought I will be a little easier for me to move into my new house but this was just a nightmare. The house was not even clean, some things were damaged and the response from the inspector is just not working for me so I ended up doing the cleaning and fixing with my wife for over two weeks. I wouldn’t recommend Lennar to any of my fellow Veterans at all. ... More

I would rather say nothing

I would NOT recommend Lennar's mortgage. I was unable to use Lennar's mortgage company due to their inexperience and I lost out on all incentives in addition I never received all the information at closing regarding who to contact, association information ect... The tile in my master bath had to be redone multiple times. Holly was amazing she was the bright spot in this experience without her I would have walked away from this home purchase.

Quality of workmanship extremely poor and problems since the day we moved into our new home. So far Lennar has been responsive in addressing these issues.

We have had multiple issues with this house - too many for the price. Customer service is always quick to respond, but getting quality work is another story. The most on-going issue...I still have not been able to get another router to improve my internet (we've been in the house almost 2 months). They supplied us with 1 router that is good for 2000 square feet - our home is almost 3,200. This is our 3rd new house and we will never purchase a home from Lennar again.

Too much hidden information that you must frantically discover with no help. Attempts at contacting help always fail with no assistance. Most assistance comes from neighbors.

When I bought this house, I have been told no co-op (buyer’s agent commission). But recently my neighbor told me they had co-op for the real estate agent! And we almost bought the house at the same time at the same street! It is not fair, builder treats buyers differently!

We love our home it’s everything we envisioned it to be. We believe that lennar could have handled business better. We closed almost 3 weeks after our tentative closing date due to last minute paperwork we had to produce after we did our walk through. It was very inconsiderate of Lennar because they new we traveled from Chicago for the closing not knowing that the loan was far from being approved. The delay in our home process even pushed us into a different percentage rate. We feel that things could have been dealt with completely different. My husband and I both missed time from work because of this, if we would have known ahead of time that more paperwork was needed we could have stayed in Chicago until everything was cleared. Staying 3 weeks in a hotel, eating out everyday, and hike in percentage rate made this process way more expensive then we cared for. We love our home, but Lennar made the process hell due to being so inconsiderate. ... More

The home is nice with the exception of the issues Horrible experience being told a few days before that we no longer qualify. We have moved in, and even though Lennar may fill the issues in the house are minor, but for the price we are paying it becomes more of an inconvenience because now I lose pay due to the service time schedules, virtual etc. are usually before I get off work, so I lose more money due to timing. I appreciate the courteous Lennar group, Jen, Jenni, Jodi, Julie, Rich. Even though their kindness did not help the experience, it didn’t made it worse speaking with kind respectful people. Thank you. ... More

The home buying experience was very frustrating. Our home was delayed by 4-5 months while other homes on same street that contracted 3-4 months later were finished earlier. Compared other homes we’ve had built, It appeared that Lennar just slapped stuff together so they could close. Now we have to deal with it through the warranty process which is inconvenient. Examples are broken window, front door doesn’t line up with hopes drilled, no hardware on the door, island 3/4 inch lower on one side, floors stained, no address plate on outside, and I can keep going. We spent alot of money to move here and bought a new house so we wouldn’t have to deal with this stuff. We were told many things were on back order but when we called the distributor directly they had no record of an order being placed. I will say the warranty department has been responsive and Nekol does a good job. Our comments are consistent with the experience of every homeowner we’ve met. The bottom line is we would not buy from Lennar again, ... More

Will not be buying another home from Lennar with the current market. Not a buyers era

Not happy at all return the house I would

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

Closing delays, could not find out what the cause was. Reached sales manager and got the usual answer, everything is blamed on COVID effecting supply's. Everyone I spoke to appear to be following a script in answering my questions. Finish work is below average, crack in garage floor (told it was normal) at first walk thru. Large gaps in crown molding and base board corners, caulk is already cracking and I will need to repair. (Lennar's answer as always is its in spec) The upstairs HVAC return air duct was not installed at the time of the first walk thru, completely missed by construction manager. Banister splintered, stain from banister spilled on stair carpet, and on and on. After closing and moving in we discovered large gap in front door seal, still being worked on. Kitchen Cabinet is coming apart in corners, small countertop front left corner broken and appears to have been glued back on in an attempt to repair. Water meter box missing, HVAC system lines entering house are not sealed/covered. Paint is very thin and not washable. All interior door hinges were missing screws. Large gaps between molding and cabinets (all). The media cabinet is a joke, not usable as installed, only two cat 5 lines installed, one in living room and the other on the wall next to refrigerator. Builder would not install additional cat lines. Options that had been added, but could not be deleted were very expensive. HDMI cable and electrical outlet mounted on living room wall 65 inches from the floor, $800 option. Under counter lights $1400 option. All builders in this area add items at ridicules prices. Take it or don't buy. Our previous house sold quickly and we were in an Air B&B, furniture in storage for 2 months, other wise would not have closed. I'm 75 years old and did not expect to do all the finish work and repainting needed in a new home. I will say, so far Lennar's customer care (warranty) people have been helpful and pleasant to work with. ... More

The workmanship and cleaning is not good as expected, the design changes were not informed and when asked, no good responses. Lot of gaps, nail spots in wood works, didnt provide a great feeling of job well done ! .. The trust about the builder went down !

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. ...

Closing was pushed four times due to labor and material shortages which is understandable but they were only concerned about their ability to close on their schedule and had little or no concern for our schedules as we were flying in from out of town to do the final walk through and close We spent lots of time and money changing flight and hotel and rental car plans. I would not buy. a other Lennar home due to this experience. No options for anything. We are building our new home in Babcock ranch with another builder

The week of closing was the most stressful week of my life. When I came for my walk through it was clear that no one on the Lennar side had even went inside for a minute to check things before I arrived. I was there for two hours pointing out issues. I have two young children and I was on my hands and knees feeling the stairs and felt dozens of exposed staples. If my daughters were walking on the stairs they would have gotten hurt. I was told it was that way ON PURPOSE. The whole inside of the house was painted white when my contract started it was a different color. I was told three different stories of what happened. In the end I was given $1000 back to help pay for the painters I hired to paint the whole inside of the home. Finally on closing day I went to go pick up my keys. It took half an hour for someone to give me to them and the building was so far from my house it took an hour to get home. When I finally arrived at my home, with two cars full of items, the key I was given did not work to open the house. It was already after hours and no one was available to give me my real key. Because of that I had to put my items inside the home knowing that multiple people at the company had access to go inside . The next morning someone came to fix the issue and they didn’t even have everything they needed to fix it. It took almost 2 weeks to get a key that worked on all the doors. It was so frustrating, the experience I had was horrible. I felt like there was no Customer Service. It felt like they built the home way too fast. And I felt like I made a gigantic mistake in buying the home. Luckily, they have fixed all the issues that I have found inside my home and I’ve been very happy in the home now that I moved in. I wish the closing experience was better but I am happy now that I purchased this home. ... More

I would never refer a friend to Lennar...NEVER..or a realtor...the only good experience I had was the walkthrough with Octavio the warranty guy he was amazing and made me feel so much better

We had lots of issues…during framing we saw missing walls and closets. Holes made in the subfloor as well. After move in, it’s been a constant battle of fixing roof leaks, plumbing leaks, and workmanship issues. We wish we never bought this house.

Lennar is a great company to work with during the building process, however, after closing, it's difficult to get ahold of anyone in Lennar to resolve issues in the house. The tech support department Lennar contracts with (Lumiere) is phenomenal. However, we had some issues with the home (still unresolved) and our concern keeps getting passed around. There's too many people working for Lennar with no clear contact or who to direct issues to. No resolution yet at the time of this review.

Have couple of issues, lennar want me to do a zoom call. Should send a guy to address issues which are minor instead of having to make time for this.
